Premier League 24/25

It's really just a friendly.

It's really hard to say who will win the PL this season. A lot depends on if Man City can find their level again.

You don't lose friendlies after you spend 300mil.

Ekitike for his size got game. He's better than anything we have at 9 currently. I wonder if Liverpool would be willing to sell him next summer if they also get Isak.

No, no we won't.

Liverpool's defence looked crap in these pre-season matches. They may have a great offense but with this defending they won't be dangerous this season.

Not really a surprise. Konate is average. Frimpong is almost as bad as Trent defensively. Kerkez is much better going forward than defending. And on top of that they don't have a ball winning number 6 in the squad other than Endo, who doesn't get a game.

So what your saying is, they need to learn to play the Flick offside trap.

Konate is average.

You think so? I quite like him. Maybe I haven't been paying enough attention, though.

 

[Iniesta Ultra]

Ekitike has a better touch and higher ceiling than Isak.

He's too up and down. A beast one game, a French Titus Bramble the next. Also without Van Dijk next to him he's generally been really poor when he's tasked with being the main man.

Pool should've gone for Rodrygo instead of Isak.

Sad how top clubs have all the money in the world, all the analytics, but blind on real talent evaluation.

 

[Porque]

Seems Pep wants Donnarumma.

James Trafford is now officially- Old Trafford.

No, no we won't.

You won't be able to keep both Isak and Ekitike happy in the same team for long. If in the future Barca or some other big club came in for the latter to be their main man upfront, dont be surprised if he starts to push for a move like Isak is doing with Newcastle. It may not be to the same degree (or rather not as unprofessional) but he will want out.

 

[TheStig]

They never learn. We are just completing CN and one call away before Isak would beg to come to Barca just like everyone we wanted from Liverpool did. But yeah, this isn't a good look, hope we learned something from Dembouz and Coutinho.

I agree that we don't need Isak. But if we do sign him then I still expect Ekitike to play plenty or minutes. He can play off the left so he could easily be in the same team as Isak.

Spending that money on Isak on top of what we have already spent this summer means it will just be seen by some as a huge failure if we don't walk the Premier League.
