One who's capable of playing right back.

Or at least one defender who's very competent at playing right back and centre back.

And the midfielder.

And that's what I think that's...

I think that's why and again this link might sort of go away now slot isn't in charge but someone like a Gertrude for example who is probably going to be available for a relatively cheap amount can play right back, can play centre back, can play defensive midfield.

I think they're going to need one or two players like that this summer as well as sort of obviously big money in attack to maybe try and bulk up the squad a little bit more.

I think why it's tricky is that maybe sometimes in these arguments with Liverpool fans where there are factions, it feels like you can just sort of divide up into black and white.

Oh well, one's online and one's in the ground and that's not really the case this time.

I think there are people online who are both defending him and people who are in a different faction of the online community.

are also saying that he should go and basically any opportunity they can get.

That also exists in real life where there are people saying, you know, I almost keep going back to head and heart, like my heart is saying that he should have credit in the bank for winning the league last season, should.

But then my head, when I watch the football, keeps going, well, this is just hopeless, turgid, shite, to be honest.

And I would quite like that to change.

And the idea of going into next season

knowing that isn't going to change just to me feels like he's on a hiding to nothing which again is when my heart comes back into it of like well I don't really want this guy to go out completely hated like he doesn't deserve to go out in the way that Hodgson did for example I think he should go out with still some of that credit in the bank that we can be like well he was a league winner manager he can stay on that banner if he would like to if the fans would like him to with all the league winner managers on

absolutely fine with that but I'm worried that the longer this goes on that he is just on a hide into nothing like I can imagine a scenario where Liverpool don't start the season well next season and that toxicity that's already building up around the club with the boos that you hear on Saturday.

I wasn't around for the full-time whistle, I'll be honest, when those boos happened, but I was in the ground for the N'Gomoa boos.

Which were unfair.

Yeah, it was strange in some senses, because that to me was a pretty innocuous substitution, whether the lad had cramp or not, he'd not took a man on, which is his job, basically, for about half an hour, and to keep the more experienced Gak put on the pitch, put him in his natural position.

didn't feel like the worst thing in the world to me.
