Liverpool FC Forward Updates and Discussions
Speaker 1We back , we back , we back . Welcome back to the On Forum podcast . My name is Roman , Very excited to be with all of you today . We have returned , we have returned , returned from the dead . Liverpool FC have and I see you , dan , I am doing great . My friend Appreciate you for tuning in . What's up ? I don't know if that's an hola or a holla from Tosin , but what's up , brother ? Welcome in , welcome in , welcome in .
Speaker 1Very excited to just be back in the swing of things , man , to be back reviewing Liverpool content , talking Liverpool content with all of you . Hey , alex , what's up ? What's up , brother ? Good to see you , man , or good to see your name , but , man , we got a lot to talk about , especially when it comes to rumors and news and all of this extra stuff that's going on at the club at the moment . It's kind of crazy some of the stuff that's coming out moment , um , it's kind of crazy some of the the stuff that's coming out , um , and that I'm seeing , but hey , we're , we're in the international break , is it ? And if you can't tell , like some of the stuff that I've been seeing , it's just been like , oh yeah , we're in the international break , like people are trying to get some engagement going and and trying to get rumors going that loki don't exist . But then there's some . There's some stuff that has weight to it . Right , there's definitely stuff that has weight to it , for sure . So we'll have to see where any of these things go .
Speaker 1But what's the update on Kiesa and Elliot ? I haven't personally seen much about either of those two , whether they're healthy or not or what's going on with them . The word was is that they were going to be 100% fit and ready to go after international break . I don't know if that's the case , because I know with Harvey Elliott , the whole idea was or whole , I guess the belief was that he was going to be ready by the Chelsea game , which didn't work , and then he said , okay , we're going to need four more weeks . So we'll see what ends up happening with those two .
Speaker 1I personally haven't heard anything about either of them . I know that Chiesa was supposed to be having like a mini training camp with us over this international break , which I totally get , and I understand , and I know there's like a field or like a school of Liverpool fans who believe that Chiesa may be a flop , maybe a flop of a signing , maybe another one of the Italian curses that we brought on . But for me personally , I think Chiesa was never supposed to be that type of signing . He was never supposed to be a signing where it's just like it's a success or it's a failure . I don't think he was ever supposed to be that .
Speaker 1I think he was supposed to be an opportunity signing , a signing that oh , there's a world-class player or a player that has been at world-class level consistently at some point available on the market for tremendously cheap . Okay , maybe there's an injury record there that we need to pay attention to , but I think Arnett Slott's thinking , if my physio team gets a hold of him , he'll be all right , and I think that's what's happening right now . I don't think it's a specific injury kind of thing and why he's not out , he's not available in any of these matches . I think it's more of a . We need to get you up to to a fitness level , and we know that the Italian league has a different level of intensity than the Premier League , right , even though they you know they demand a lot of running in the Italian league as well . I know that Juventus , specifically , is very notorious for making their players run an additional like mile or two miles if they don't hit certain mileage milestones in game , which I feel like is kind of crazy . But again , he was frozen out of that Tiago Matzah team . He didn't have a preseason , hadn't pretty much played in three or four months . So we'll see what happens . And that's right , brian , he was an opportunity signing . He was never planned , he was never meant to actually come on and make an impact . It was one of those things that like , oh , this is a world-class player available on the cheap , let's get him , and if he produces for us , phenomenal . If he doesn't , we can move him on and either get our money back or make a little bit of profit . Right , and I think that was always the the , the mindset and the idea from the kiesa deal from the very , very beginning , right ? So , um , we'll see what happens with kiesa . Hopefully we I mean we got an assist out of him but hopefully he does come back and he can make a difference .
Speaker 1Because I feel like we're going to need everybody . We're going to need everybody in this last push for in December , because the games are going to be coming back to back to back to back to back to back to back in December and injuries are inevitable , fatigue is inevitable . We're going to need a deep squad where the level does not drop very much . I mean , we have six forwards , right , or am I ? Or I think I'm maybe doing the math wrong , but we have at least six forwards that we'll have at our disposal , that we can kind of rotate in and out . We can try different things . I mean , we saw Luis Diaz in the in the false nine position which you know , kind of threw Leipzig off for a loop . Maybe we could do something really clever with Mo Salah or something really clever with Chiesa , we , you never know with Arnett Slott , which is what I love about him . Um , and then Alex said super excited for Chiesa . Man , I got a feeling he's going to be better .
Speaker 1Divock BC Origi , big dog . Divock Origi , a legend at Liverpool for sure , and he could be an impact signing , he could be an impact sub where you bring him on . He has the pace , he has the skill , he has the directness to be a really good impact off the bench kind of player . If you look at some of his stats before he even came to Liverpool , and not very exciting Juventus side , his take-ons per 90 are actually higher than Luis Diaz's and you know how direct he is and his goal scoring actions per 90 is higher than , uh , darwin Nunez's and you know , darwin Nunez is captain chaos and if you knew , if you didn't get the memo on that , uh , I think he has to coming in and immediately trying a flip kick when he was subbed on for the only game that he got to play for us . Uh is enough to tell you how all action he is , and I think he's the perfect impact sub off the bench .
Speaker 1So Brian said nothing , a hundred percent nothing about Kiesa as a player or a person . It was an opportunity in a quick sell for a couple pounds , it's true . And then Dan says of Liverpool talk . By the way , dan changed his name to Liverpool talk . If you guys have not noticed that , he's also another Liverpool content creator . Check his stuff out . He does more shorts related stuff , which are really great , even with Chiesa out .
Speaker 1Placing first in both leagues is crazy stuff . That's what I'm saying . You know what I mean . Chiesaa really wasn't even like . He wasn't in the plans in the first place . So a lot of our main guys have stayed fit and are producing Cody Gagpo on the big stage and international duty , still putting up crazy numbers .
Speaker 1Luis Diaz . Same thing . Mo Salah , same thing no-transcript . And , um , I know a lot of people they don't love darwin nunez . A lot of people don't , you know , necessarily love luis diaz . Maybe that's changed in the past couple of months , but you can't knock the fact that these six are some of the best performing forwards in Europe right now . Right , so , no UCL without Origi , and that is a fact . That is a fact .
Speaker 1And then Brian says how about bringing Doak back ? He's grease lightning right now . Oh man , I could not wait . I was like that's like one of the big things that I want to talk about today is Ben Doak , who I have always known and he's kind of flown under the radar after he got injured last season . That was supposed to be his breakout season last season under Klopp , and I thought he would get a lot of time , but he had that injury that kept him out pretty much the entire season . He's the real deal , guys . I think Ben Doak is the real deal .
Wingers Discussion and Future Prospects
Speaker 1I really do , and I've always thought that for a long time I did think that that injury was going to be too much for him to come back from , though , just because I've seen some interviews and have gotten to kind of read his personality a little bit . He seemed a little bit I don't know if it was just his desire to do really , really well all the time uh , there was like this one , like I don't know if you call it an interview , but it was like a video on youtube of him being really upset with his fifa rating and like being like almost bummed out and like disheartened about his his first ever fifa rating and'm just like I don't know if that's like a good mentality . I know that's a weird thing to gauge off of , but I look at like really small things , like he was really bummed out and I was just like I don't . I mean , imagine something actually important happening to this kid . What's going to end up happening ? You know what I mean .
Speaker 1And then the injury happened , jurgen Klopp leaving . On top of that , I was just like I don't know if he bounces back and then he gets shipped off on loan , I'm like I don't know . I think he might be another Ben Woodburn , right , he might be another Ryan Brewster , one of these insane talents that we thought , oh , he's the next guy up , he's the next kid that he's the next Raheem Sterling , you know , attacking talent out of Liverpool's academy and um , uh , he got shipped off to shipped off to Middlesbrough and I was just like I don't know , but he showed out and has been showing out all season . We just haven't really been talking about him . Actually , he has been outstanding for Middlesbrough , like all season actually , and what I think is really interesting about Ben Doak is that he's a right footer that plays on the right wing .
Speaker 1I mean , like , when's the last time you've seen that Like an attacking , right footed , forward or right footed winger that plays on the right wing , right wing , like ? That's like so rare where , especially these days , where pretty much like wingers are just wide forwards , right , they're not like true wingers that , just you know , put their defender in a blender and then put in a beautiful cross or a cutback . I feel like those wingers are much , much more dangerous . And no and this isn't you guys know this , this is no slight to Mo Salah . You know Mo Salah is the one of the best to ever do it , ever , ever , ever .
Speaker 1But I feel like those types of wingers , those og wingers , where it's just like you're right footed , you're going on the right wing or you're left footed , you're going on the left wing , those types of wingers , almost like a gareth bale you know I'm talking about almost like a gareth bale that just torment defenders because you don't know if he's going outside to cross it . You don't know if he's cutting in to bang one in . You don't know if he's going outside to cross it . You don't know if he's cutting in to bang one in , you don't know if he's cutting back . You don't know what he's doing . And I think that's what made gareth bell so damn scary for defenders when he was coming up , because he was left-footed on the left side .
Speaker 1Insane pace , insane dribbling , insane physicality like I think we could have a similar type of player . I know doke is missing that physicality piece which I think he can develop , especially being like that similar build to mo , because I know mo is like notorious as being one of the stronger wingers in the premier league if he can build that type of strength and resilience . We got a player on our hand , man . We got a player on our hands and arguably the best player in the championship right now . No doubt him , and we can't forget him . And Luis Cumas don't forget Luis Cumas is also in the uh , the championship right now , I think , with Stoke , and he's playing his ass off too , who I could see take up a central role , which is is what he was .
Speaker 1He's kind of been playing more so , as at uh at Stoke , um then being a winger , a left-sided winger , which is what he was kind of what he was at Liverpool . I remember Klopp saying that that Kumas is like he's a natural born finisher . He's like one of the best finishers that I've ever coached . I remember Klopp specifically saying that he's like that boy can finish the ball from anywhere and you can , and I mean there was this once turning volley that he did . I think it was like a week ago or two weeks ago and I'm just like what it was like very Zlatan-esque the finish that Kumas had .
Speaker 1We got some talent coming through . I'm hearing Stefan Bajetidge is doing really well over at leipzig as well . I'm I haven't heard much about bobby clark , believe it or not , um , which I know we have a bible buyback clause for him . Um , let me know if you guys have heard much about bobby clark , but I've really just been hearing about stephan by cheddidge , who also is uh came out and said that he's in contact with Liverpool staff and in our back room pretty much every single week , which is a really , really good sign that shows that we have long-term plans for Stefan for sure . Um , so we'll see what happens .
Speaker 1And then Alex says the only issue with Ben in the amount of yellow cards he has , but does show the desire to press and defend . That's all we need , man . That's all we need . If the , if the intensity , all we need . If the , if the intensity is there , we can teach them how to make smart challenges . Slot can teach them how to make smart challenges , just like how he's taught Trent how to make smart challenges and and defend a lot smarter than he would , than he has been Right . But the main thing is is can you bring that directness , can you bring that danger on the right wing that we get with Mo Salah when he needs a break or when he eventually decides to move on ?
Speaker 1I think the kid has it . I think the kid has it and , mind you , he's doing this on the international stage against who many believe Guardiola is the best left back in the world . Right now . He put the best left back in the world in a blender right now , right Like best technically talent , best defensive and best scoring left back that we've seen in a long time , maybe ever in Guardiola , if he can keep it up and stay consistent with what he does . And he made him look like he didn't know how to defend . Like I can't I don't think we can shy away at that and I know it was just one game , but you got to understand who is he doing this to . And I think he just needed that confidence . I think he just needed them without the run of games in . He just needed to to know he was the main man , somewhere , I guess , which is at Middlesbrough . And , mind you , I believe his was only like a half-season loan as well .
Speaker 1So I'm hearing that there's a lot of teams who are queuing up to want to get him for the second half of the season . But I'm interested to see if Arneslott decides to keep him the second half of the season . But I'm interested to see if Arneslott decides to keep him the second half of the season , especially if Chiesa's fitness doesn't come up to the way that he wants or somebody gets injured or something like that . Jota is kind of up and down , whatever it may be , right , I'm interested to see if he ends up staying for the full season or not . So we'll see what happens there , but definitely a lot to talk about , for sure .
Speaker 1I also am hearing about Christian Pulisic as an option . What do you guys think about Christian Pulisic ? Like if we were to sign a winger for the wingers that we have on tap , the wingers that we're linked with right , for the wingers that we have on tap , the wingers that we're that we're linked with right . If we were to go for a winger in January which I know really is not a priority right now , it shouldn't be which I find really really strange why we're even linked with wingers which may tell us something about what could potentially happen with Federico Chiesa or what is potentially happening with Mohamed Salah . Who would you guys want to see ? Would you guys want to see Christian Pulisic at the club who I keep seeing ? Would you want to bring Ben Doak back ? And then today I'm hearing about Marcus Thuram . Right , I'm hearing about Marcus Thuram . Right , I'm hearing about Marcus Thuram as well . And I know he's not a winger , he's more of a central striker , but can play either wing .
Liverpool FC Transfer Rumors and Predictions
Speaker 1We really don't need the LeBron James of soccer , right ? Alex said I'll pass on him hard , I don't care that he's American , he's just not Premier League material . True , his attitude is problematic . At times he's desperate to be the main act and that won't drive a slot . Very true , very true . With Pulisic he just shows some of those flashes of brilliance . That's just like damn what a player he could potentially be . But it's that , it's just the fact that he just him and Gio Reyna right , him and Gio Reyna are two supremely talented young players that just cannot get out of their own ways . They just can't , and they always have problems internally in the locker room . They don't end up sticking around at clubs for very long . I just don't , I don't know . So we'll see . Uh , hopefully that link doesn't go too far , but you never know .
Speaker 1Liverpool are known to make really interesting and weird signings , um , but I like the taram uh signing as well ben or brian my bad , sorry brother , sorry , I won't get it wrong again , but I like the taram uh signing as well . Big physical forward , uh , athletic , um , I know he's , he's kind of a , you know , italian league goal scorer , but I like it , I do . And then , um , I'm seeing , do you think man city struggle is deeper than what we've seen so far ? They chase with a raised cutlass and I'm really bothered . I'm not sure what that last part means . But man City struggle is deeper than what we've seen so far . Could it go further ? Yes , could man City continue to struggle beyond these past four games ? Yes , 100 , 100 , um .
Speaker 1Could we see a decline ? Yes , every dynasty falls . Every dynasty has an up and a down . We had ours two seasons ago , right two or three seasons ago , where we weren't even sure we weren't , we didn't know if Klopp was even going to make it to the end of the season . I don't know if you guys remember this this season , but like we were in a bad way and then we kind of stormed back and got a third place finish . But , um , it's just like every dynasty has a fall right .
Speaker 1And then Tottenham , they have Tottenham . Next right , they have Tottenham . This weekend Tottenham could be , it could do a very Tottenham thing and they could scalp City right , which they have not been known to give City a tough run . You know , as Pep Guardiola has been the manager there , tottenham has never been an easy game for Manchester City . They then play Feyenoord . There's ties to to um , to Arnett Slott there . It's going to be an intense game . Obviously you know that the Feyenoord supporters are going to want to do um Arnett Slott a favor and beat their beat . You know Liverpool's biggest rivals , so there's risk there too .
Speaker 1And then they play us . And then they play us who were flying high . You know it doesn't look like we're probably going to lose anytime soon . You know , I know there's there's some people are high . You know it doesn't look like we're probably going to lose anytime soon . You know , I know there's there's some people are saying you know , the next few fixtures are pretty tough . I mean , we play southampton , we play a faltering real madrid and then we play a faltering manchester city who could still drop points in between the time that we play them . And now , and Tottenham that's right , brian , tottenham have already beat them , uh , this season in the cup , so they already have that mental edge over them . And now , with four games lost coming into this game , they're going to think about that loss and even though they they're going to say they gave that , that loss away or whatever it might be , they're going to think about that loss . They're going to think about that cup loss 100 and they're going .
Speaker 1Man , there's a possibility that we could go five on the balance . There's a possibility we could go five on the balance and I think that's going to affect them mentally , man , it really is . So I know people say that our running games are a little bit challenging , but I think we beat Madrid and obviously we beat Southampton . But I think we beat Madrid and I think we can beat City . We're playing both of these teams , these scary monsters , at the right time where they're . Both of these teams are coming off losses , not talking about Southampton , who you know . Obviously there's a lower on the table type of side who can be tricky , probably , but I feel like slot will be able to handle that pretty easily . But but we're playing real Madrid who's even ? If they get a win , they'll . They'll have one win in their last five . And then same thing with man city . They'll have one win in there , or maybe one or two wins in their last six . So we'll see what happens .
Speaker 1And then give me Marmush he's the one , guys . I then give me Marmouche he's the one guys . I'm telling you Marmouche is the man . I mean , he's a similar age as as Mo was when he had his breakout season . And I know , I know I talked a lot of trash about Marmouche and I was just like . He's not that guy . You know , I'm looking at some of his stats , but Mo was . Mo was a late bloomer too , but Mo was a late bloomer too . Right , we have to keep that in mind . Mo was a player and maybe that's why his career has shown a little bit more longevity than some of the other superstars . And he's still staying consistent , even in his late age . He bloomed late too . So if we could have another Mo on our hands we're at 25 years old .
Speaker 1He has another breakout season , I don't know . We'll see 18 goals and assists in the league on 10 matches is absolutely insane . Banging in free kicks he's fast , he's threatening . We'll see . I hope I'm very wrong about him , but who knows ? It's a total FSG type of signing . But the fact that he is so out there and out front and very popular right now makes me think that maybe FSG doesn't go for him , because you know they love the under the radar type of signings . But we will see . There is that connection to Mohamed Salah . He is Egyptian . Um Mo has nothing but great things to say about him . We'll see . What happens with marmouche , we'll see . And then liverpool talk , dan .
Speaker 1What made me laugh about pulisic was that the espn woman who put him in the conversation with messi and ronaldo and then immediately turned her comments off . Yeah , no , let's not do that . Yeah , uh , pulisic can't even . It couldn't even be compared to messi's left pinky toe , maybe his right pinky toe even . Uh , todd and uh beat them already .
Speaker 1Yep , reese , what's up , brother ? Welcome in , welcome in , reese . You are the man . Appreciate you , bro . Um , who can buy ? Who can we buy from leone ? Um , I'm hearing , I'm hearing Ryan Cherky . I'm hearing Ryan Cherky is someone that we admire and I brought him up . I want to say , like maybe four live streams ago when we were in the it was still the transfer market so maybe five or six , maybe more than that , seven live streams ago , because we had some interest in him right on deadline day . I remember this , that there was like a lot of noise around us potentially bringing him in on deadline day . Um , but we ended up going with kiesa instead and I think we can get a cut price deal for him as well .
Speaker 1They just got handed a relegation punishment . Damn , yeah , they may not be a club after the end of this season , which is really sad because they have such a rich history and you'd think that that's like a prime kind of club that fsg would want to take over , especially because we were in for bordeaux for uh , for a while , um . So I'm interested to see what ends up happening with Lyon if FSG ends up buying them and saving them . If they go down to the second division in France and you know , it's like a fire cell we can get some talent over there . Malik Fofona is one of those guys that , I think , is a choice for sure out of them , who else is on their roster ?
Speaker 1Uh , obviously , maxine's cork corkette . Um is another one . I heard lack of that is maybe going to madrid . I saw that rumor , um , so we'll see . And then , uh , red chili said just got back , aldi had to stock up on some German lager . Always seems like an og during the international break . 100% , man , I'm so glad that we're back , I'm so glad . And then the next one won't be until March , so we have nothing to worry about . We're just going back to back to back with this thing up until then .
Speaker 1And then the French League is dying thanks to PSG , and that is a fact . It's just , it's not competitive . Smaller teams can't earn money because PSG wins it every year , and this is what happens , and that's what I'm and that's what we're talking about and why it's so important for us to nip a lot of these financial fair play stuff in the bud early . We influence , we encourage teams to be ran more like us , be ran more like a Brighton , be ran more like a Bournemouth right or a Nottingham Forest all these teams who do spend money we do spend money , maybe not us so much , but they do spend money . But they stay within their means and they use , you know , a lot of income from outgoings , especially Brighton . Otherwise we could turn into another French league obviously not immediately right , because we have all these TV rights deals and stuff like that . But being competitive is so , so important . It's so , so important for all sports and sadly , the French league is paying the price for letting PSG essentially just do whatever they wanted .
Speaker 1And I think we all agree that we need a signing in January , 100% . What signing we need in January ? Let me know what do you think is priority number one for a signing in January . I'll put it in the chat . I'll put it in the chat . What is priority number one for January signing ? If we were to sign just one player in one position , because I feel like that may be in , I don't think it's going to be a multiple kind of deal . I don't think it's going to be like a multiple signing kind of thing . Let's be really honest there . We're not getting a multiple signing kind of thing . If we were to pick one player in one position , what are we going with ? What's the most important thing ? That if Liverpool were to show a sign of intent , they were to show the league that they're serious . What signing are we going after ? What position are we looking to fill ?
Liverpool FC Transfer Needs Analysis
Speaker 1I'm hearing a lot of stuff about milos kirkus . I don't know if that's a priority position . I'll be honest what do you guys think about milos kirk ? Kirkus , because he's good and I think he's definitely one for the future Rapid , great dribbling ability , good defensively . He did well against Mo Salah when we played them .
Speaker 1But do we really need another left back ? Like right now ? Right now , like immediately ? I mean , semikas is a good deputy , rabo is all the way finished . Like let's pump the brakes a little bit . Is that the most important thing that we need right now ? Like I don't know if that's the if going for Kyrkos over anybody else is the most important thing .
Speaker 1And then Brian says probably a six . No , just one , somebody Maybe . Oh yeah , I saw Loic Bade as body as well as severe as a van dyke backup . I heard that we agreed a fee on that . I don't know how true that is . Like this whole podcast is just going to be about rumors , right , because the international break was kind of crazy . We were popping off with so many rumors . It's actually kind of weird because you know that's totally not our thing . Um , but I'm interested to see if any of these actually have any weight and they actually carry over into january and we see any of these actually pan out and center back . Keep that back four strong .
Speaker 1I agree , I like Loic Bade . I also like more Gerald Hato or Hato . Gerald Hato , he , I think , if we sign one player , because he's a two birds , one stone kind of player , maybe a three birds , one stone kind of player . He's built in that mold of a Urien timber , of a Quinton timber , where you can put them left back , you can put them right back , you can play them center back . He can even play as a holding midfielder . That's how tactically versatile and technically versatile this kid is , but also great defensively and has the pace to play pretty much anywhere across the back line and even step into midfield because he's very good technically on the ball , great passing range , great passing ability . I like Gerald Hayto a lot and I think he's 17 years old , maybe 18 years old . If you don't know about this kid , look him up . Fantastic , he's already captained the ix side as a teenager . We'll have another captain on the team , right . So I like him a lot .
Speaker 1If we're going for one guy and we're want to do , we want to save some money and we don't want to sign multiple players , I think he's the signing you go for in , uh , in january because he can deputize it as a holding midfielder if we need to , and but a very defensive holding midfielder but does have the passing range , the ball control , to play that Gravenberg role , but not as good as Gravenberg , obviously . Gravenberg is like a , like a large Tiago , the more that I watch him but covers that left back position very well . He's six feet tall . He could still grow being a teenager . He could gain another inch or two in another two , three years , right , which is a total possibility . Bags and bags of pace and great in the air and great with the ball on the ground . I think he should be priority signing number one if we're actually going for one and I saw that we were . We were linked with him as well . He's dutch . Obviously that virgil van dyke influence will be huge . The ryan gravenberg influence will be huge , given that they're both from the same academy , right , the ix academy . Um , they're probably in his ear about a lot of those things .
Speaker 1If if there's actually any traction or weight to any of these reports , but if I'm picking that's the one that I'm going after I'm not doing milos kirk is because I think you get a lot of that ability from hayto . But you also get the center back , backup for vvd as a left-sided or left-footed center back with that signing . That's my pitch , that's my pitch , right there , that's my pitch , that's the one I'm going for . So you guys let me know I don't know if you guys know about heito . He's he's not super , super well known , but he's worth a , uh , a look into if you guys have some extra time today . But , uh , alex said rabo isn't that guy anymore , bro , I love him .
Speaker 1But you can't be sentimental when it comes to sports and that is a fact and I think that was like one of the biggest downfalls of Jurgen Klopp was that maybe we were a little bit too sentimental and we didn't move players on when we probably should have and buy new players when we probably should have , because , at the end of the day , if we really , really want to be honest , those players would move on at any opportunity that they would get for a better situation , which we've seen right . We saw with Hendo , we saw with Fabinho , we saw with a lot of the players that you know Juergen loved and adored and fought for and fought for extra contracts for and played every single game , even though you know , maybe they weren't at that level , and a lot of those players ended up moving on , you know , without even really thinking about it , twice some of them . So you're right . And then Brad Chile said I'm unsure , I'm half and half . Yeah , it's going to be a very interesting window because we have a very deep team but at the same time there's still like like holes in the , in the , in the side , like we're deep in like all the wrong areas , if that makes sense . Like we're very deep in the , in the wide areas . We're very deep in attacking midfield options , but we're very shallow in holding midfield options . Uh , we're very deep in um in defense , but not like in the area of the defense that we need . Like , we have plenty of left backs , left backs that we could even call in from loan . We have right backs that can all step in . I mean , we have Bradley , we have Trent there , we also have who's the other ? The other , I think he's Scottish kid that also is out on loan . We could bring him back from loan . Stevens is another one . Lucas stevens is another one that's very , actually really skilled and is also out on loan . We have options there , but just not as a left-sided center back , like we specifically need a left-sided center back , which we don't have .
Liverpool FC Young Midfield Prospects
Speaker 1And then , uh , brian said , maybe varela varela is an is an option man . I heard that he actually ended up signing a new contract after we were interested in him and tried to sign him on deadline day , which I feel like , just from the reports that I was hearing , maybe it was a lot closer than we thought because legitimately , maybe two days later he signed another contract and his release clause , I believe , ballooned up from like 30 , 40 million up to 100 million . So I don't think that one's happening . I like varela a lot , uh , but I think he may have just priced himself out of a lot of conversations to kind of move on to a different club , uh , and do different things . But he's still very young , still very young .
Speaker 1Some backup for Gravenberg . She is essential for the slot system , it's true , and the only person that I can really think of that could do that Gravenberg role great ball carrying good vision , good ball control . You know the man , you are very familiar with this individual , zubin Mendy . I think he's probably one of the only players on the planet right now that can really do that role in the way that slot wants him to do . There aren't very , very many technically good DMs right now .
Speaker 1Larson is another one who also plays for Frankfurt with Omar Marmouch . Um , larson is another one who also plays for Frankfurt with Omar Marmouch . Uh , I think he is also a really , uh , a big option . But from what I understand that Frankfurt is like , if you want Larson , you are going to uh , have to pay a lot of money for him , uh . So Hugo Larson uh , he's another one that I that's really high on my list as well . I like Hugo Larson a lot . He's another one that's really high on my list as well . I like Hugo Larson a lot .
Speaker 1Six foot two , big beast of a kid I believe he's 20 years old Very good technically , press , proven good passing range . He's almost like Gravenberg in a similar build actually , so maybe that's an option . But frankfurt has been , from what I understand , is very clear that if anybody wants larson , especially in january , it's going to be for an absorbent amount of money . But six foot two swedish baller I like him a lot . Uh . Javi guillera is another one that was uh linked with , uh , tottenham um over the January transfer window in it , and I bring him up actually a lot um on this channel . He's another one that I really like a lot too . Javi Guerra is a baller too big , big kid too as well . Six foot two .
Speaker 1I think these are the next generation of holding midfielders that are coming out . Some of these names that I'm just firing off to you Varela Guerra , hugo Larson I think those are going to be big names coming down the line in terms of just like these are massively talented kids that are just waiting to explode and do their thing on the big stage . Guerra is another one that very good technically , great ball control , great passing range , big physical and what you look for in a slot style type of defensive midfielder . So don't be surprised if we do go for a backup for Ryan if those names aren't on the list . Warden is another one of those guys that's in a similar mold .
Speaker 1We'll see if Crystal Palace you , you know they lighten up a little bit on their stance on him . I know they wanted like 80 , 100 million for him , but because they're , you know , kind of fighting in the relegation zone a little bit this season , I'm curious if they'll drop the the price on him . He's another one that's like one for the future . Um , so we'll see what happens . We'll see what happens , and then ben do what happens . And then Ben Doak , absolutely . We talked about Ben Doak earlier . Ben Doak is a serious , serious talent . Could you imagine him in Rio , namuha , rio , on the left side , doak on the right side , landing like Orset with the Wingers for like the next 10 years ? Crazy talent , crazy talent coming out of Liverpool .
Speaker 1We're like , we're like the Barcelona Academy right now with some of the guys that we're we're we're producing out of our Academy and I'm very , very excited about some of these guys to get a shot . Trey and Yoni is another one . I like Tyler Morton a lot . Hopefully he gets another shot in there as well . He actually played that Gravenberger role pretty well , believe it or not , uh , when he came in . So we'll see what happens there .
Striker Transfer Speculation and Analysis
Speaker 1But uh , gimme osuman , uh , we'd be set . Is osuman having a good season ? I don't know if osuman's having a good season or not , uh , because I know that that yeah , he's having a great season . He's six goals to assist um in the turkish league . But I know nigeria just lost to like this , like random nobody african nation recently , and uh , oshiman and um bony face played and they lost . So I don't know , I don't know if he's ready for the big stage . I heard man united is trying to do a swap deal , though with uh , with zerk cnm , so we'll see what happens . Uh , I think a striker could go a long way 100 . I do because maybe we're okay in midfield , maybe we are okay in midfield . I mean , maca is more than capable of covering in that dm position . I know he doesn't love it , but I think he has the skills and the ability to cover for um ryan if something happens .
Speaker 1And then curtis jones , curtis jones , anybody . I'm sorry , curtis jones , I was not familiar with your game . My boy boy , curtis Jones , is a serious talent . Bro , curtis Jones is a serious talent and somebody made a really good point . I was watching a video . Someone made a really good point that they were like .
Speaker 1I've always been behind Curtis Jones's head like unwarranted , mainly because we've got to see him grow up at the club and we remember all of the mistakes , we remember all of the blunders , we remember all of the bad games versus a player like Alexis McAllister , where we never got to see Alexis mess up . We never got to see Mo Salah mess up . We never got to see a lot of these . Virgil van dyke cut his teeth at celtic . We never got to see those players in the developmental stage where we've saw that .
Speaker 1We've seen that with uh , with curtis and a lot of those things stick in our mind and we're like , ah , curtis isn't that good . Remember that one time . And we just we can't let it go . And it's like a similar thing with like trent . Like trent has had some some poor defensive moments and we can't let it go . And it's like a similar thing with like Trent . Like Trent has had some some poor defensive moments and we don't let that go . And like Trent's been great defensively even before uh Slott came in . He's been even better since Slott's come in , but at the end of the Klopp era he was really . He was good defensively , but that narrative just continues to follow him around because we've been able to see him grow up before our eyes , similar to how Curtis was , and I think Curtis has now grown up . I think Curtis is now turning and has turned into the player that Steven Gerrard always believed that he could be , that Klopp has always believed that he could be , and some of our fans have always believed that he could be , and I'm really happy for curtis .
Speaker 1So we might be okay in the midfield with um harvey elliott coming back into the mix of things . Right , uh is going to be a huge help . Rotating more than into there is going to be a huge help . So we might be okay in the midfield . And , like what you said , reese , I think a striker could go a long way . I think a bona fide goal getting bad you know , just a bad , bad man in there , somebody that's just gonna bury him is gonna go a long , long way , I think , in this title race , because I think it's gonna end up going to when can we get crucial goals and crucial moments ? And I'm not sure if Mo Salah has unlimited amount of crucial goal , crucial moments in him this year . I don't know if he does .
Speaker 1We need another guy that can come in and get a crucial goal , crucial moments , and Jota is typically that guy . Right , he's Mr Reliable that can come in and bag a goal , be clinical and lethal , but he has to be healthy is the key . We know Nunes is probably not going to be that guy . I love Nunes , bless his soul , but we know that he's probably not going to be that guy where we're going to be like we need a goal , give it to Nunes . We need a goal , put it in the box and Nunes is going to go get it . That's just not going to happen . So Marmouch may be a guy . He may be somebody . Gilkaresh may be somebody I can't see , because he's going to be $100 million Minimum , especially in January . I can't see FSG forking up another $100 million for another striker from the Portuguese League in January . But that would be my ideal pick of like a bona fide goal getter .
Speaker 1If we buy him , it's a statement of intent and everyone will be running scared . Everyone will be running scared if we go get your crush in January . His manager that believed in him , developed him , is gone . Now is the time . If there is any time to go get your crush , it's right now . He hasn't had too much time to think about it . He's not . Should I follow amram ? No , let's go get him right now . If they were , if they were going for a forward , so we'll see . That's probably not going to happen . Let's be honest , though um city will get him if we don't . Yeah , city will definitely . I can see also being a city striker backing up holland , but we'll see . I can see I can see united getting all seeming at . Honestly , I think he he gives me manchester united vibes and apparently they're really high . He's really high on amram's list and I heard that amram actually isn't going to go back and go shopping at sporting um , that he doesn't want to do that . He wants to find whole new players , develop the players that are there at manchester united . So maybe he doesn't go to manchester united , gil carish doesn't . So we'll see .
Speaker 1Rumors are saying that we're going for zuby again in january . Yes , I've saw that story over and over and over . I don't know if we go back . I I mean , how do you guys even feel about that ? How do you guys even feel about that ? How do you guys even feel about that ? How do you guys even feel about that ? How do you guys even feel about us going back for a for Zubamindi in January , given that he's just so freaking old ? It was a weird situation . It was weird how it ended up unfolding and it kind of left a bad taste , personally , in my mouth .
Speaker 1I don't know about you guys , but I didn't love the way that Zubamindi handled the whole thing . I didn't love the way that Hughes handled the entire thing , of course . So I don't know . You guys tell me what you guys think about Zubin Mendy . I don't know , but he's probably one of the only players , like I mentioned before , that can do that Ryan Gravenberg role right now and at a high level and a consistent level . A lot of those players that I mentioned before Hugo Larson , javi Guerra , warden , and then I mentioned one more , but I can't remember , oh , varela they can do that role , but can they do it at a high level and can they do it consistently like Azubu Mendy can ? I'm not sure . So shout out to Robbo scoring the winner for Scotland with the header . I saw that Madness Beautiful , absolutely beautiful and Doak may be starting a revolution there . You never know , I never stood .
Speaker 1The walker is better defender than trent . Yeah , me either . I don't , and I think it's because walker just has great recovery speed and like it looks really good in highlights and stuff like that . But I've always thought trent has been a solid defender , um , and a lot of those situations and scenarios where he gets left in the desert , he gets burnt or it looks like he's walking back on defense a lot of those , if you look at the context , aren't his fault , um , or he's doing exactly what jrgen klopp is asking him to do . So , um , don't give up on darwin . He's a monster . He is force of nature on the break .
Speaker 1Uh , supremely athletic , has every tool the shot , power , um , the instinct , the finishing instinct is there , all of that is there ? Probably some of the best finishing instincts in the premier league , but finishing ability not so much , and that's and that's what you buy a striker for is to finish the ball . And he's one of my favorite players . On liverpool , don't get me wrong . I love darvin newness , but I can see him potentially having a future in midfield , like joley and tin . I've said that before in a comment . I could see him playing as an attacking midfielder and being really physical , being high energy , winning the ball back . He's a great passer , by the way . That's another part of his game that I feel like a lot of people kind of ignore . Fantastic passer , fantastic passing range . I could see him being in midfield , being a big , physical midfielder and then just bringing in a bona fide finisher ahead of him . That could potentially happen , you never know .
Speaker 1With with uh , with honest lot , he tries a lot of interesting things , so we'll see what ends up happening . Um , I want him so united . Don't get him . I don't want him to follow him . I know if george garris comes to the premier league and it's not for us we need to all be really , really scared . And then nigel said we're going going to come back to the platform and I'll have .
Speaker 1I told you so with Darwin . He's younger , he can adjust this season . He's not getting that offside as he used to . Very true , not nearly as much offsides as you , mbappe has inherited the offside gene from him . But I love Darwin and I think he has every tool to be the best striker in the world . The amount of chances and opportunities that he gets and that he finds himself in is it's , it's world-class his movement and the way that he's able to find these goal scoring positions is world-class actually finishing the ball , which he can get there for sure . But then there's guys that are just natural born finishers , like Mo Salah , right , who have the work ethic and the natural talent that's just like damn . If Mo gets in , gets in half of those positions , mo quadruples his numbers , right . So , but we'll see Reset Slott ain't going to play games with the kid Zuby anymore after that .
Speaker 1Mad disrespect . Yeah , I think so too . You know us , you know how we roll . We don't take that stuff very lightly and you'd have to imagine it leaves a bad taste in your mouth . And the only way that I feel like we go back for Zuby Mindy is if Hughes really , really , really wants to go back and redeem himself , really , really , really wants to go back and redeem himself . But none of our other sporting directors have ever been have taken well to those types of moments .
Speaker 1If a player ever shows a sign of like disrespect , I guess is the word because he's a nice guy , he seems like a nice guy . They typically are like all right , cool , fine , we wipe our hands of that and we let them go Right . So they basically bullied him into staying . I mean , he's a grown man , he's 25 years old , about to be 26 . This is your career , this is your professional life . At some point you got to stand up for yourself or you have to have your agent needs to stand up for you if that's not you , and you need to do what's right for your career . So but I get it . They did and I look at them .
Speaker 1So reese said I don't think folks fully realize how ice cold slot is . All business in the best way . Uh , has treaded lightly because he's still new , but in reality he will pull no punches while saying everything with a smile . It's true , he's , he has that dutchness man , he has that Dutch bluntness and he does not hold back . And I love it . I love it , I love it . And if you're not good enough , you're not good enough . He'll find another way to get use out of it . I mean , look at Endo . He truly does not believe that Endo is at the level that he needs to be at to play in his side . So he just doesn't blame him and I know that's harsh and it couldn't happen to a better individual in Endo
Liverpool FC Defensive Analysis
Speaker 1.
Speaker 1But Slott , just , he knows what he wants , he knows what he needs in a team and if he doesn't think you fit that , then you just don't fit that and that's it . It's that simple . Same thing happened with Ibu . Same thing happened with his replacement , uh , kwanzaa . And then back again with kwanzaa . He's like all right , well , kwanzaa's not working , I'm going with ibu again . And then ibu has put been in the best form of his life ever since being brought back into the team after being dropped out of the team by slot in the first place .
Speaker 1So you need that . You need that competitive edge , you need that competitive spirit where you know that your your , your place in the , in the side isn't guaranteed week in , week out . And that was the thing that was missing with club is the competition for sides and no favoritism . You get in the side if you perform and it's that simple , it's that . It's it's that straightforward with slot . And I believe that competition will always bring the best out of a player .
Speaker 1Always say but Ibu is playing better than Virgil van Dijk . I think right now , all things considered , this might be a crazy statement I think Ibu is the best center back at Liverpool and in the Premier League right now . My personal opinion I think he's played so well . I think VVD is the second best center back at Liverpool right now as we speak . As we speak not talking about entire career , right , vvd is one of the best to ever do it . So , but as we speak , ibu is a serious , serious , serious contender for best center back in the world . Captain , the french team as well been a beast , been a monster on the international level as well . We are blessed with two of the best in the world . Man , seriously .
Speaker 1And then brian said transfer market is reporting rumor uh , marmouche to lfc for 40 million . If it's 40 million , I'm taking that . If it's 40 million , I'm taking that . 100 , I'll take 40 million for Marmush . And I said that before . I said that if we're going to uh , if we're going to to buy anybody for for uh in the attacking role , and if it's Marmush it can't be over 50 , 60 million , I'm going 40 million . I said if we can get 40 million , we taken40 million . Baby . And I'm seeing Sabo literally just scored an equalizer , a Paninka penalty for Hungary over Germany . Right now I'm seeing that . I'm seeing that he's actually having an outstanding game for them right now . So hopefully he carries that into the Liverpool squad . You guys know how much I love . I love this man . Oh , I'm seeing that Southampton is interested in signing Indrick on loan in January . That's interesting . Who knows if that's actually going to happen , but That'll be cool to see .
Speaker 1It looks like Allison is back . Allison is back training . This is reported three hours ago . Marmoosh is on the docket . They're saying maybe next summer for Marmoosh I think we get him now .
Speaker 1Jaden Danz is back in training . Jaden Danz is alive . Y'all . Jaden Danz is back in training . He's alive , he's alive , he's alive , he's alive . I see he just signed a contract with adidas , which is pretty cool .
Speaker 1Uh , I'm hearing things about chua mini . I'm hearing things about chua mini . Another one , another one , another DM . That is very disrespectful to us in the beginning and now we potentially could be going back for Let me know what your feelings are about that . But I'm not getting worked up about our transfer business . There's a reason Fair North fans keep peeking over at LFC with anticipation . They know what Slott will do when he gets the guys he wants , that's true . Know what slot will do when he gets the guys he wants , that's true . And , uh , I think they will give him that , based off of what and what , what's kind of unfolded , marmush is the heir to the throne he could be .
Speaker 1There's different aspects to defending that I think a lot of people don't account for when evaluating vvd . I think ibu is better channel defender , but not overall defender , than VVD . Good point , very good point . I think I think Ibu is close . Though I think Ibu is close If we , if we're going to take in Ibu's strength , which is that channel defending , which is covering space . I think he's good one onon-one too . I think he's great one-on-one . I think he might be a better one-on-one defender . I think vvd's positioning is unparalleled . The way that he can get attackers to do what he wants whenever he wants is crazy . He does . It's a lot of the times vbd doesn't even have to put a tackle in to put some , some of these uh forwards off .
Speaker 1But if we're going like 1v1 defending um ground covered , uh , aerial uh dominance , I actually think ibu I was looking at a stat I think ibu was actually better in the air than vbd . This is this season . I might be wrong now . I remember checking this like maybe a week or two ago . It's close and and this is how spoiled we are we're literally uh having a conversation about which one of our two uh center backs is the best center back in the world right now . That like we're having a conversation like um , yeah , I think one of our center backs is is the best center back in the world , not the other one , but it's a close race . That's how spoiled we are right now as liverpool fans , that we have two of the very , very best in the world that are close to being the best in the world . So I love it , um , reese .
Speaker 1Reese also said frankfurt ain't selling marmouche . In january they had champions league qualification badly . They want champions league qualification badly . Yeah , I think it would have to be a significant offer for them to part ways with marmouche , who's essentially their main man , is like almost single-handedly willing them into this whole thing . But we'll see what happens .
Speaker 1Forgot to hit that like button . Yeah , don't forget to hit that like button , guys . I'm into . I need to start mentioning that more . It helps the channel get mentioned and recommended out to other liverpool fans so we can make this conversation much , much bigger . So make sure you guys hit that like button .
Speaker 1Um , appreciate all of you for uh , for tuning in to this edition of unconformed on form the podcast right . So , uh , ibu is definitely gaining a lot of ground . Attackers are giving him the vvd treatment of not even bothering to run when , uh , when , in a foot race with him , fast athletic can cover ground . I mean , I remember , um , he pocketed , uh , he pocketed , vinnie jr last time we came up against him . Absolutely put him in pockets , bro , and I love what's coming out from him .
Liverpool FC Player Speculation and Predictions
Speaker 1I remember there's an interview that came out and they're like what's next for you , ibu ? You know you're now the captain of France and it potentially could be a permanent thing . You may take it off of Mbappe , what's next ? And he's just like I want to captain liverpool now . Like , bro , I want to . I love hearing that type of stuff . He's like I want to happen , I want to . My next goal is to be the captain of liverpool . That's my next goal and I can see it man him and trent , him and trent . Once vvD decides to retire after , you know , two or three years , retire Red . Then we got , we got Ibu , we got Ibu and Trent as leaders . And I'm hearing that Trent is close to a deal and they're they're potentially trying to get that deal done before Christmas . I'm hearing a lot of polarizing things about about Trent , but I'm also hearing that he could go to Madrid , that Madrid won him really badly . But I'm also hearing that Trent's kind of set on staying at Liverpool and signing that long-term contract and being a captain for us and being that Steven Gerrard-esque figure . So we'll see what happens .
Speaker 1I look back at Hanson and laurenson a very similar pairing style , wise to kanata and bbd . Hansen has the brains and lawrence was the action man . True , they're great combo , fantastic combo , uh , and may go down as our best center back partnership in the premier league era , if they aren't already so uh , reform . I don't think these guys were disrespectful . Chumini just preferred Real Madrid fair play to him . And Zuby is , uh , from the Bass region . Players from there are often loyal to the area . I'd still take both . Oh , don't get me wrong , I'm taking Chumini and Zubimini in a heartbeat .
Speaker 1If it happens , I don't know how I'll feel about it at first . Maybe after that first game and they absolutely bossed the midfield I'll quickly forget what they said and did . But you don't pass up on a world-class player because they hurt your feelings . That's just dumb . Trent is going . We have to be at peace with that . I don't think I have a feeling that he's not All of a sudden now I feel like and I'll wrap up on this Cause I know we're getting , we're we're close to an hour or we're at an hour now .
Speaker 1I get a feeling now that it's actually Mo Salah , that Mo Salah is going to be the one that ends up moving on and Trent and VVD are the ones that end up sticking around . I get that feeling Just from now that I'm like I'm looking into some of the comments that Mo has made , some of the Instagram posts I know it's social media and stuff like that that Mo has kind of been saying and it almost sounds like it's like a last hurrah kind of thing , like this is my last one . I want to make it special kind of been saying and it almost sounds like it's like a last hurrah kind of thing , like this is my last one . I want to make it special kind of feeling and honestly , I wouldn't be mad at it .
Speaker 1Mo will always be a legend at Liverpool . He will be the greatest winger to ever play for us . That is no doubt Probably the greatest attacker in the Premier League era that has ever played for us . No , I'd say yes . He is the greatest attacker in the Premier League era that has ever played for us . No , I'd say yes . He is the greatest attacker in the Premier League era that has ever played for us and could potentially get a statue , especially if we do something special this season . He went to Ballon d'Or with us , we went to Premier League . He could get a statue for sure . It's starting to feel more like a goodbye all of a sudden for Sala , out of nowhere so , and I think , in red chili . Yes , I don't know .
Speaker 1I don't know if you're referring to this specifically , but it feels like smoke and mirrors for Trent , that like he's kind of he wants a specific number and he and he's . You know , I think the media is kind of overhyping some of this real Madrid interest and stuff like that , maybe engineered by his , by his manager or , um , yeah , by his manager , which I believe is his parents , and um , I , I get a feeling that trent's not going anywhere . I just get that feeling so , but I don't know , I could be wrong . If trent goes , then you know and I've been on the other side of the fence too that I thought trent was definitely out , but now I'm not . I feel like that's just not the case , it's just not gonna happen . Um , and then reese , I think we're uh , we're at a point where it's an either or , with trent and salah , not both 100 . So you actually were able to put put it into words of what I was thinking . I'd rather have two years of solid at a current price than five years of the highest paid in the EPL trend under the slot scheme . Yeah , I think it's going to be an either or and I think it's going to be Mo that ends up moving on . I think VVD stays 100% . I think it's just a matter of time before we get that deal done with VVD . But I think for Trent and Mo , I think it's an either-or situation . Either we keep Mo and Trent moves on for free , sadly , or we keep Trent and we end up moving Mo on for free , sadly . So we'll see what happens .
Speaker 1And the Reform said I used to prefer Varela over Zuby when watching highlights , but when I actually watched their games , I instantly saw that zuby is at least one tier above , if not more . For sure . Uh , varela is a very he's very uh fun to watch . He's a good on the eye type of player . He reminds me a lot of mascherano , believe it or not . Uh , when mascherano used to be a DM and not a center back . All action , big tackles , big movements , big cross field passes and stuff like that . But then Zuby is just like no nonsense , sticks to the basics Slight movement here , slight movement there , reading the game two and three steps ahead , making smart passes to where the guy he passes it to can make an easy pass . You know what I mean . It's those types of things that you kind of got to look into when you're looking at these types of positions . Highlights don't do Zubim Indy justice at all .
Speaker 1Don't read into the rumors . I don't think any of these journals here or abroad know what any of our players are thinking . I could easily , easily all three . See all three staying for sure . That's a total possibility as well . I do think that all three do not go . I don't think that happens , but it could be , and that's a video that I'm actually going to be doing . Uh , this week I'm dropping multiple videos this week , guys .
Speaker 1Um , on a lot of things like what does the reality look like if only one resigns or two resigns or none of them resigns , and what I think fsg is planning for the future for liverpool , because unfortunately , players move on and and things change and we have to , and we're always trying to prepare for those things , especially FSG . So I hope you're right . For Trent's sakes , don't be a Coutinho . Yeah , he'll just be another player at Madrid if he ends up moving on to Madrid , and I feel like that's the only place that really makes sense for him . And then Trent is the modern day McManaman . That's a good comparison actually . Hopefully he does not go to Madrid like McManaman did , though comparison . Actually , hopefully he does not go to madrid like mcmahon did , though um , but that's mainly what I want to talk about .
Speaker 1Big sabo had a huge night against germany uh , seven chances created , three fouls , 75 percent uh pass accuracy . Four touches in the opposition box , um seven passes into the final third , four accurate crosses . He is the man of the match , and let's hope that that continues for Liverpool FC , but I don't think he gets over Curtis Jones this weekend . Guys , we will see , though . Appreciate all of you . I'm going to be dropping some more videos , like I said before , tomorrow and then on Wednesday or on Thursday , and then we're going to do a reaction for the game . This Saturday Put your predictions for the game or this Sunday Sorry , put your predictions for the game this
