And I think we might talk about Richard Hughes a little bit later on, but his record is gonna come under scrutiny.

The three summers transfer windows that he's had in charge of of Liverpool, they've signed Federico Chiesa in twenty twenty four.

Last year they went obviously absolutely mad what we're talking about.

And then this year it's been a a little bit more patchy.

It's maybe not the

the best track record going.

But last year and you know, Seb is familiar with Jeremy Frimpong from his time in the Bundesliga with Leverkusen, but people probably don't really talk about enough the tactical shift going from having Trent Alexander Arnold as a right back to Jeremy Frimpong as a right back because they're just completely different in styles.

Frimpong is someone who was playing so advanced for Leverkusen.

You basically switched him out for Alexander Arnold who was definitely more

More of a quarterback, he'd dictate play from slightly further back.

So not only was some of the signings maybe questionable, but just the the massive change that that put on Liverpool's tactics is probably something that people don't consider and talk about often enough.

And then in terms of at the time it's funny because people were saying it was the best transfer window ever, and it just shows you you can't judge a transfer window in the

moment, you have to see what happens further down the line.

But even back then people were skeptical as to why they needed to sign Isak and ECA TK.

It felt like a real

not gonna swear, but a real power move to just say to Newcastle Worth you're not gonna give us Esack, we're gonna take Ekatique and then we're just gonna take Esau anyways.

But even back then people thought, Well why are you doing that?

Defence has always been an issue.

You know, you're going into another season where Joe Gomez is still one of your most senior centre backs.

Kanate only had a year left on his contract and as slot said was too often at the scene of the crime and has had his injury issues as well.
