Dominik next, and we are good to go. Despite falling off this year he is so talented, but Im so confused in his role this season but thats a story for another day. He is great as a 6 when pressed, as he can just drop the shoulder and go, but teams have wised up and stopped doing that as they realise his biggest weakness which is he cant progress the ball by passing. I think that with a more athletic player, similar to Dom, who can take the load off him by being the passer on the team, it will correct the balance in midfield and help Grav get back to form as the sitting 6. People have been clamouring, saying we need a 6, but forget how good he was last year in the role.

Macca, on the other hand, I haven't heard any news about a contract extension, but whisper it quietly but im in the same boat as fingers crossed, just like Konate they are wished well for their services and moved on in the summer. Hes fall off the past year is akin to Fabinho imo.
 
Didnt even catch the game due to neccasary work commitments and time zone so I look forward to the write-up, Scouse and the highlights. Another Konate disaster class I'm hearing, but 1 nil in that cauldron of a stadium isnt so bad as Turkish teams are **** poor away from home.

Tbh VVD wasn’t much better. Luckily a shocking bit of officiating kept it to 1 as it really should of been 2-0 as there second goal should never have been ruled out.

Well, I was the only one of our group disappointed with the loss. And that went with most around us the lock in after. And back the bar when we finally got off the coaches at 1 AM. Mainly because this alliteration of Gala is *****. The result by itself was sound. We take the chances we didn't last night, we’ll volley them all over next Wednesday. And we deserved at least a draw last night. Just frustrating that they were more than there for the taking.

Started really quick, pressing them all over and creation g mad panic. They gave the ball straight to us twice with glaring chances missed. Then we forgot how to defend a corner, they scored, and control went and it became a basketball game. Really could have been any score. To either side or draws in between.

Not great like but sound scoreline to take home.

Yeah, watched the extended highlights and from what I can tell it became a basketball game but truth be told they are a poor side, and we should wallop them at Anfield as a Juve with 10 men did the same in Turin. Last night was a magnifying glass into why Konate, as imperious as he can be when on form, has to be thanked for his service and moved on.

You called it time ago, but for me I thought he would with age, become mentally strong and be able to play his own game without Virgil holding his hand, but hes shown he is just too mentally weak for me. The moment he makes one mistake its like he gets into his own head, and you might as well take him off because you know what's coming. We have a batch of young, talented CBs coming through next season. Can you imagine Konate having to lead them if/when Virgil departs?
 
Also wanna hear ya opinion on Macca because im sorry but he can't have gone the way of Fabinho this early??? He has to be carrying some form of long-term injury that requires surgery and is putting it off because of the World Cup? He's fallen off needs to be studied as he's playing like he needs a Zimmer frame, I'm not even joking.

Utterly mad that he keeps playing him and not Curtis. Defo something going on there and I’ll be shocked if he isn’t moved on the summer. Be it for the manager not fancying him/ a hefty £40 million plus PSR profit. Or simply Jones just naturally wanting a regular starting gig, a parting of the ways seems inevitable sadly. I think you’ll see Gravenberch step into that role as an 8 with a controlling 6 added. More than likely Wharton with Anderson seemingly City bound.

As for AllyMac, I don’t have a clue what’s going on there mate? 🤷‍♂️ His legs may have dropped of like Fabinho. Lest we forget Brighton work as hard as we did under Jurgen so he’s been run into the ground constantly most all his time in England. I actually could see him leaving too and a younger, fresher replacement being added.

Whatever happens though, he shouldn’t be playing right now. He was abysmal again Tuesday.

All that said, if the plan is to bring Quansah back in 2027, or A N Other come to that, to allow us more scope to address everything else this summer, extending Konate wouldn’t be the worst option to cover next season.
