All our creative midfielders/playmakers and deputies are either on loan or the youth ranks.

Let's see how this season plays out
:wow:

Happy for Partey but he only alleviates one of our problems. We've been defying xG can't be 16th for chance creation this season like last season. Everyone's strengthening and this season looks like a redo of 015, straight toss up.​

No Mane no party

Tell me more about Henderson being Liverpool's best player brehs

Fair enough but the MF is not tracking runners (as Henderson would).. I haven't been watching enough but given who is on the field probably the new kid in town Keita. Barkley keeps getting through because his runs are not being tracked. That led to Barkley being completely open before in the penalty area (more than once) and now has led to another goal.

Not saying that Hen is #1 on that team but he close in terms of importance.

EDIT: Mane would tracking back better too (to be fair).

Look how far behind play Keita is during fast counters ...

"The red machine is spluttering: Engine room misfires, No 2 keeper short-circuits, high line exposes defence... and £52m Naby Keita can’t tackle!

But some of the numbers to emerge backed up what you were seeing. Midfielder Naby Keita did not make a tackle or an interception. Remarkably, the Guinea international has yet to make a successful tackle in four appearances so far.

He hasn’t made an interception since the 4-3 win over Leeds."
