Should be our permanent future at LB. The kid just had IT last season before his injury. I would take him over Moreno a million times over. I love Moreno, but he is like the token white guy that tries to hang with the AA crowd.

My only two wishes for this window is a big name CB, and a midfielder who can be physically dominant and pass effectively. I like Can at DM for the foreseeable future, but Milner won't last forever and Hendo (as much as I love the guy) struggles with passing.

Did y'all really buy Mane for what Arsenal paid for Sanchez?

He's a fill in LB. If he's our best option, we're in trouble. Provides almost nothing going forward, has no left foot, no real dribble threat, etc.

He was good for a three game stretch to begin the season because he's strong defensively and played pretty well defending space. But he provided nothing going forward, and was in fact a liability that didn't even attempt passes to guys that were running into open space. His "assist" was just a normal pass that Cou turned into a wonder goal.

Pretty sure his liabilities were exploited (the ManU game?) and he didn't feature there near as often afterwards.

He's gifted and can fill in at LB, but he's not a LB and is definitely not one under Klopp, who wants his Fbs to be able to attack.

I pray he spent his entire rehab working his left foot. I loved his athleticism and defensive help, but he would always turn the ball into the middle on the offensive attack, instead of driving it to the corner and centering it, because he couldnt use his left foot. He would always stop around the 18 yard box, turn inside, and use his right foot.
