Liverpool didn't rotate their front 3 much, but I'd argue that's largely because their front 3 are so clearly the best options in those positions - Shaqiri, Sturridge, Lallana and Origi are a huge step down. They did, however, rotate an awful lot in midfield with 5 players competing for 3 positions, and it would've been 6 had the Ox been fit.I do agree with this, more or less, but Liverpool barely rotated at all last season. There’s something to be said for having a settled starting 11. They were lucky with injuries, though, especially up top.
Think Lamela will seriously struggle for game time lo celso has so many different attributes, he could play anywhere from a deep lying midfielder to playing off Kane. Him and Ndombele are prophet statement signings I ain’t been this excited about a season since the days of Hoddle waddle and ardlies
Did seem like a crazy move he’s a bit better than betis . Consistent performer would get in a lot of premier league sidesNapoli have been linked with him recently so could be them
Major injury problems are preventing the bigger clubs coming in. If he's clever he'd look at lo Celso and do the same with betis.Did seem like a crazy move he’s a bit better than betis . Consistent performer would get in a lot of premier league sides
Happens every season.Well I have to say I never heard of GLC until a few weeks ago and I’ve never seen him play but I’ll be devastated if we don’t sign him!!!
You’ve definitely misunderstood his point there mate. He said they’re statement signings, and he hasn’t been this excited about Spurs since the days of Hoddle, Waddle and Ardiles. Those are two separate statements - he’s not comparing them to those 3 yet.

I think how Southgate is playing him currently, on the left of a midfield 3 is going to end up being his best position.Another one seriously under-appreciating Dele, imo. He wasn't at his best last season but he was clearly knackered, and playing much deeper during the midfield crisis for the benefit of the rest of the team.
Put him back in the team just behind Kane, with a functional midfield behind him, and I think he'll be back to his best.
If GLC signs, he'll have signed to train. He needs to earn his spot, and we all know that's what Poch will think too.

Also, as you said, they were annoyingly lucky with injuries last season.
Damn I hope they get to be without them for like 3-4 months. Let's see how good their depth is then...
