If we stay in Prem I can see another CB coming in or an out and left back. Needs addressing at the back with more quality.

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Thu Jan 19, 2023 7:49 am  

I thought firpo was steady away, as was weber. so many attackers surely at least one has to go. maybe two. but I agree, a quality centre back and left back must be signed next

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Thu Jan 19, 2023 7:53 am  

Yeah agree. Think Geldhart will go on loan. We lost discipline when Wober went off. Sounds like just a knock though and should be fine for Sunday.

Aaronson needs to find some confidence soon, thought he looked like he was missing a bit when he came on. Holds onto ball too long

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Thu Jan 19, 2023 10:27 am  

I thought Aaronson was better than in recent weeks, but Harrison has been better in that position, and was superb yesterday.

We still looked fragile defensively and there were moments where a team with more quality would have exploited that, but it was a decent win and something to build on.

We still need a central midfielder, beyond Adams and Roca we only have Forshaw, but he can't be relied upon and Greenwood. Greenwood has quality, but he still has so much to learn before he's a competent midfielder.

Geldhert going to Wigan on loan, apparently. I know he probably wants to stay north, but I don't think this is the right loan for his development

Yes, Toney will be a threat on set pieces on Sunday. need to be more switched on for that. Agree fully re midfield, would be foolish to run rest of season without an addition there. We also have to be careful because if Roca or Adams get a nasty injury, that could be massive.

I'd play Harrison at 10 on Sunday. Gnonto and Sinesterra left and right. Rodrigo at 9. Bring Rutter Bamford and Aaronson from the bench. And when you look at it like that (Summerville Gelhart in additon) we have some excellent attacking threat now, up there with the top 10 imo if not top 8.

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Thu Jan 19, 2023 1:46 pm  

sinesterra looked miles off the ace last night

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Thu Jan 19, 2023 1:51 pm  

Thought he tracked back well a few times and played a few good passes but granted against poor opponent. I just think Harrison will do some real damage at 10. Looks on fire. Balance between do we go with that or Aaronson at 10 whos out of form and Harrison on right... tricky one

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Thu Jan 19, 2023 9:00 pm  

Think Aaronsen is struggling but it`s defence that is still a worry far too fragile.
Again I`m not seeing it with Harrison sorry.
Yes some quality balls but some shocking ones in there as well.
For me he needs to be a consistent 7/10 and he goes from a 9 to a 5 in most games.
But if he can keep creating then that will do.
Same with Firpo I don`t see him ever above a 5/10 and tends to be a 4/10 most games.
On another point Tinternet reporting the "senior players" have said they want Jesse sacked.
By senior do they mean Ayling, Cooper, Llorente, Harrison, Rodrigo and Bamford?
Most of which are fearful of their place in the team so wouldn`t be surprised.

No it’s all BS that story mate
