Who would be your ideal midfield target @Scouseinthehouse ? One thing we definitely need is bite in midfield. Way to many midfielders who are the samey in our squad. I'd love the Sadiki lad from Sunderland who had an excellent season and bullied Englands midfield the other day.

Him or Manu kone would be a good shout for you guys
 
Thats how you know I've been detached from any Liverpool news proper after the season we had. I didn't realise they done 100 greatest players for the club again. Ngl some of the listings are stupid af but any list that doesn't have Kenny as number 1 is not a list for me. I always maintain the King is the only person just as big as the club simply for what he has done for the city and club as a whole.

I always find these conversations difficult as I know all the legendary things Kenny did as both a player, and a manager, but he was before my time, so I have no real emotional connection to him. I grew up though idolising Gerrard and have the emotional connection there, so its one of those head vs heart things. Guess it shows the Era you grew up in as to which you pick between the two!

Insert Mourinho meme If I speak im in big trouble...

All jokes aside, thank Fowler he is gone and his meddling ways can go with him too. Made out to be some kind of transfer guru when, truth be told, it was a whole recruitment organisation initiative, e.g Ian Graham and co. He can take his hit pieces with him as it showed what kind of man he really was: deflecting blame and painting whatever narrative it was to make him look good. Hughes will probably go to, but how much of his kid-in-a-candy-store failures was down to him or Edwards we will probably never know. I blame these two idiots more than Slot, who had to go regardless, but he was let down multiple times by their dithering. Edwards will forever be an example of the Peter principle in a nutshell. Just because you're good at one aspect of a role doesn't mean you will be good at others parts if promoted and eventually it will lead to incompetence across board.

All subjective to the individual like. And there’s no right or wrong answer.

Gerrard only just makes my top 5 so yanno’. 🤷‍♂️

I ask this every time you post it without a real answer, but what are these ‘hit pieces?’ 🤷‍♂️
