Maybe awful was the wrong word but overall I thought Klich was poor last year. Started ok but faded fast. I like him though and I hope he has a good season.

Klich was excellent the first half of last season, but he played most of the season with a hip injury which severely effected his mobility, he looked like he was running in cement at times .

Yes agree with that.
Mate of mine says Bielsa with Pep at the Etihad.
Might be for a cup of coffee for all we know.
But could be discussing a loan signing of Herreira

Yes, I saw that picture, hopefully it's to discuss signing Herreira. I think that's actually more likely, as we could get him on loan and wouldn't necessarily have to pay much of a fee until next season. I'm not sure we have much left in the budget for this season.

Bielsa confirmed on a new deal, and Messlier close to signing a new one. And a top u23 CB signed from Celtic, so there's some positives.

The U23`s look a better prospect than the first team

Not a great performance at all. We've barely completed a pass.

We need to urgently get adequate cover for Phillips. Against quality teams we are hugely exposed. Also as I said before lack quality in attacking midfield.

Alarm bells for me Jack. We need to improve this squad.

We just can't keep the ball. We've been dreadful.

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Sat Aug 14, 2021 1:25 pm  

I didn't think we could play worse than we did at OT last season, but I think we did. If our passing accuracy was over 75%, I'd be surprised.

Poor form carried over from pre season it seems
