Casually signing Liverpool players on loan, that's not something that would have happened a couple of years ago. Looks like he had a decent season at Plymouth last year (Ryan Hardie is there as well atm IIRC). Looks like a good signing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIVIFOREVER Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Heavily stacked down our left side, Longridge, Montana, Forrest, Kabia, Prentice, and Lewis, gonna be some competition for starting places between those players. Devlin & Mullin must be looking at that and thinking thank feck i play down the right hand side. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdinburghLivi Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Maybe having that many players on the left hand side will stop us using the predictable Nicky Devlin overlap all the time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATLIS Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Gerrard called him one of the best he's seen and managed him at U18 level I think. He was Liverpool's U18 captain as well I'm sure. 1 senior Liverpool appearance and a handful of mens games out on loan. Seems like a bit of a coup for us as he's also been training with Liverpool's first team for a while as well. Starting to get the feeling 352 is coming back or maybe 343? 343 would allow us a LWB and a LW at the same time and allow for the overlaps. 343 in possession 541 out of possession? Basically allows the LW to slide to LM and LWB to LB when we're trying to win the ball back 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be interesting to see all the different approaches/results that happens due to it. Took us months upon months to look comfortable playing it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it'll help that we played 352/532 when we won the playoffs and our 1st season back up so there's guys here that are comfortable with it. I'm not sure I can see us going back to 2 strikers so 1 with 2 wingers around makes sense with the current squad makeup. What's your thoughts on Adam Lewis btw? Seems as though we're playing him in a more attacking position than his natural LB but on the face of it it's as exciting as far as signings can get for us possibly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compared to full backs, and based solely on his time at Plymouth... Guess its the ridiculous amount of chances he creates that makes him appealing to your numbers guys? Highest xA per90 in League One last season in terms of full backs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I can see why we want him on the wing/wing back then. He joked about playing LW most of the time when he was meant to be at LB while at Plymouth. We've solely relied on Josh Mullin's ability to get a cross in, and I imagine his xA and Creator levels will probably be similar. However we got really badly caught out just relying on him instead of having anyone on the left. Montano/Lewis and Mullin/New Signing swinging balls in for Anderson or Hamilton sounds like a winning formula for me. Better than what we had last season anyway 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just checked and your spot on. Mullin is much betetr aerially (which is a flawed part of this system in some cases still), and worse in terms of possession play, but they're almost the same player apart from that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds really exciting then, Mullin carried us through a lot of games.

Better than what we had last season anyway Wonder if we might see Forrest playing off the right hand side. He has a cracking right foot so always tries to cut inside. Perhaps driving down the right and getting crosses in will suit him and give Mullin a bit of competition 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe in behind the strikers too? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Airdrie fans don't seem overly fussed about potentially losing Robert and all the teams that have lost interest speaks volumes for me. Can't see many more signings other than maybe a CB coming in now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there was ever a team to cosy up to and get comfy with I'd take Liverpool any day. They're a side happy with bleeding through youths in recent seasons so a high level required in their academy levels. The LIV alliance.

Yep DM said he was looking to bring in another 3 or 4 players in his interview after signing Tom Parkes. So still another 2 or 3 to go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATLIS Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Obviously from a while ago, and I'm biting on one of those flashy YouTube videos but looks as though he's going to be class for us 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIVIFOREVER Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Some of those misses from being set up on a plate by Lewis, fecking hell. Yeah looks a cracking signing by Martindale, any chance Liverpool could give us a striker on loan now, the Liv Alliance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
