But we did buy him from Norwich......

Panic window. The club felt the squad was strong enough to finish in a decent position (Which a lot of the fan base would have agreed with even post-relegation) Rodgers's refusal to use Vestergaard or Soyuncu left us panic buying a CB at short notice. The jury is still out on Kristiansen; it could be a case of the right player, wrong time. But I would argue we overpaid due to the situation. Tete low risk which had a massive upside if it worked out.

Great news

I think we underutilised he long-passing, his ability to ping a pass could be lethal for spring counter attacks

If it weren't a Big six club selling him, you'd be lucky to get 15m.

I thought most people were positive, but haven't read all the thread.

I wondered if we were interested in Saelemaekers to play the role Fatawu played last night at LWB. I can't believe we are thinking of playing Fatawu there.

That's the spirit

Video can be just as misleading, you can make a player look different depending on how you edit it.

You were very critical of Saelemaekers for lack of end product, Nelson number aren't great. Not that I don't like Nelson, but just interest in your reasoning?

Didn't mention any positions.

There a reason we have been linked with Nelson, this isn't happening.

I think we brought it from Stead and Simpson, and there is the covenant which prevented the club from selling it for other purposes.

I think to survive; we need to be one of the most organised and best-coached teams in the league, which mean we need to make the most of pre-season.

Our wingers were a major strength last season, and his pick a formation without wingers and decided to play them both out of position. Would love to hear his reasoning.

How often does a number 2 play.

Personally I alway felt both JJ and Ricardo are good attacking fullback in a 4. But they have always struggled as wingback when we have played a 3 back, especially under Rodgers Why would you pick a formation that doesn't have wingers when Mavididi and Fatawu have been are best attacking talents.

We can't keep paying wages for 4 senior keepers, I has to go and nobody is buying Ward.

Manager managing to find a formation which doesn't suit any of the fullbacks or wingers at the club......

Golding and Alves combining well.

Not surprised we look rusty, Looks like a shape that will get destroyed on the transition by quality sides.

I assume he not going to play twice in 3 days.

From where I am in the ground it was one guy giving him dogs abusive and some of the crowd getting behind him.

Not sure how that gets the best of your best two attacking talent, if Mavididi and Fatawu play in the same positions as tonight.

Kit looks OK on the players.
