I guess it could be worse then. The good thing about getting benteke is we don't have to rush him in. He can spend an extra few weeks building his fitness and game skills etc

Pretty sure nobody was saying he was the reason we were shit, more so that he just was shit.

Swarles Barkley · Jul 23, 2015

Benteke was a beast for us. Hope he does well for you.

LFC2010 · Jul 23, 2015

How I think we'll line up come gameweek 1 against Stoke City.

4321
-----------Benteke-----------
----Coutinho---- Firmino----
-Can------Milner-----Hendo-
Moreno Skrtel Sakho Clyne- (Moreno/Gomez for that LB spot)
-----------Mignolet-----------

Bench from (Bogden, Toure, Moreno/Gomez, Lallana, ings, Ibe, Allen)

edited for Markovic/Ibe swap.

Thunder_Dan · Jul 23, 2015

I loved the way Clyne played here in Aus!! Was really solid back there and set up so many attacks that I saw in adelaide

Really starting to get some squad depth there...
Ibe, Origi, Lucas, Lovren, Teixiera, Wisdom, Sinclair, Sturridge, Flanagan, Enrique, Borini, Balotelli, Lambert, Rossiter all not even listed!

Ibe should make the bench ahead of Markovic.

RossFC · Jul 23, 2015

Seems like heaps of Benfica fans are bombarding Markovic's facebook page pleading him to come back since he may not get as much game time here.

Sending him back on loan wouldn't be such a bad thing.

I'd rather loan him to a PL club if we were going to loan him.

Pay 20m for a guy
Barely play him
Send him on loan

A fine investment

Well he's still young. He'll get game time at a lower club, unlike here. Why wouldn't you do it? He's still only 21 so it doesn't necessarily mean the end of his LFC career.

RossFC · Jul 23, 2015

I wouldn't loan him.

We need depth for the Europa League, FA and Capital One cup games.

BlueBen · Jul 23, 2015

I very much doubt that Markovic will be loaned out. He's had a year to acclimatise to life in England and adjust to the demands of the Premier League, and should be expected to start delivering the goods on a more consistent basis.

BlueBen · Jul 23, 2015

I would also like to see us start to whittle down the squad a bit.

Players like Borini, Lambert and Enrique (and maybe Balotelli) are superfluous now and should be moved on.

Where is he going to get the opportunities to do so? Too many ahead of him.

There are plenty of games; Premier League, Europa League and the two domestic cup competitions. Barring injury, he should get opportunities to play.

Centre of the park is still shitting the crap out of me. I am pretty confident in Milner and Henderson but they have to have Lucas behind them, maybe even Allen but SOMEONE has to be there to help them, the defense, the whole team. Can will be good in the centre but he's not to be depended on like he is Lucas, he is far less experienced, to be honest the thought of Can sitting behind Milner and Henderson doesn't make me too comfortable because I don't wasn't to depend on him to break down some of the most brutal counter attacks. I guess it'll have to be a team job again, but look how that ended last season, filling the whole side with mids doesn't compensate for your lack of defensive mids! It doesn't instill any confidence in our defenders either.

I dont mind holding onto Enrique as a back up. He is good enough in that role. And offers experience at the Full Back position. Something we dont have a lot of there.

I agree Borini and Lambert have to go. I'd also loan out Origi again, hes miles off.

Maybe, but he would be consuming some relatively large wages for someone who I can't see getting much of an opportunity. He wasn't brought on the pre-season tour and on the (albeit limited) footage we've seen of Gomez, he looks like he could do a job if required. We are also reportedly interested in Digne from PSG, so if that transfer materialises then I think that would confirm that Enrique is out the door.

Cooldude · Jul 23, 2015

Enrique is a sad case, has almost everything needed for a great left back except a functional brain

I can't see us really spending any more money, even though we really really need a midfield "destroyer" so to speak. All those ball players ain't gonna play if they get bashed by the likes of Charlie Adam in every away game

And the lack of real pace outside of Markovic and Ibe in all the forward options is a bit of a worry as well
