Some people will never get it mate
Not sure where it stems from but its such a small time mentality

Who’s the back up out of Diaz, Mane, Jota, Salah and Firmino? Liverpool only start with three up top. We need to start thinking like a big club and not have a set group of players that are guaranteed to start and then a drop of quality on the bench, that sort of mentality only breads complacency imo. More competition is good.
You raise an excellent point and your example backs it up well.
Is it fair to say that adding further attacking options (or any options) is far easier when you don’t have an obvious weakness or hole in the squad?
For example Kounate was signed due to the hole left by VVD absent the season before, Gomes was also injury plagued and Matip (at the time) was rank off form.
They prioritised a reinforcement which plugged a hole. They didn’t go out and add another attacker until they were happy that the bread and butter was sorted.
Or maybe we rotate Deki, Son and Dybala, so each gets a rest every 3 games and the quality of the 1st 11 doesn't drop. We've seen what happens to our players when they get overplayed and burned out, imagine keeping them fresh.
Not difficult is itOr simply select the front 3 purely for tactical reasons rather than them being our best three players? Stretching, penetration, getting in behind etc.
I think Nunez is better currently and will be better in the long term too. Caveat is level of opposition. Lautaro to me would be a son replacement/competition, he’s much closer to him than Kane. Nunez is the opposite but somewhere in between Kane and son. If dybala is obtainable then yes that should be the first option explored.So, throwing Dybala in the mix, shall we get all 3 ? From your description we need Lauturo more than Nunez. We have a finisher. I'd go with Dybala on a free though to have some spends for defence and midfield.
Great post. It’s a shame we never acted like the big club when we were awesome under Poch. And let’s face it, if Kane stays we won’t sign another striker.Who’s the back up out of Diaz, Mane, Jota, Salah and Firmino? Liverpool only start with three up top.

A year ago yes. This season he has been awful disinterested etcTielemans for 25 mil is an absolute no brainer and should be done immediately if possible.

I think we should sign Eriksen instead. He’d never be like that…A year ago yes. This season he has been awful disinterested etc
This a joke? “Went cheap and got 2 shit centre backs”.Totally right. I think some of the
In an ideal world you would prioritise signings but we are not yet in a position to get players we want when we want for the price we want/cab afford.
Also when liv had a CB injury crisis they went cheap and got 2 shit centre backs. Where are they now?!!
I think he means last season when they signed Ben Davies from Preston and ozan kabak now at Norwich.This a joke? “Went cheap and got 2 shit centre backs”.
VVD was signed at the height of their problems. He’s now established as one of the best CB’s in the world and elevated them to one of the best teams around.
Your post is a hard one to defend.
Look I’m not against competition for places, but given we are not Liverpool level just yet can we justify 2 top class players in one position when we have big holes elsewhere? Also just saying I’d rather bring a player who covers multiple positions. Dybala only plays in the Deki role in our current formation and would clearly be first choice thereby relegating deki to the bench for big games, which I don’t think his early performances deserve. To play the. Both would mean switching to 4231 which seems unlikely. I’d love dybala st spurs but given current situation would rather spend the money on someone who can cover Kane plus another position. 5 for 3 spots is fine, 2 WC players for 1 spot seems like a luxury right now.We are all so brainwashed. It's a squad game. Potentially a 60 GAME SEASON
Noone would have thought sane salah firmino would be rotated but that is what is happening with diaz and jota. If they didn't sign those 2 they would be playing minamino and origi
Point made.I think he means last season when they signed Ben Davies from Preston and ozan kabak now at Norwich.
He’d be perfect at LWB - just wish he counted as homegrown.

I think Dwight McNeil is homegrown. Wouldn't min him at all.
Leeds fans seem to agree that his future is as a wingback.
