Depends on who is in and who is out, but ideally I agree. We have attacking options who have proven themselves in the Champions League. Good change of pace off the bench, though.

He’s just a strange fan boy twitter account who uses Spurs news to promote himself.
Be honest
When we were all 15 it was the girls from the Great Universal catalogue that would do it for you...
A very good point. I think though whoever we sell buy will take us down a different direction.
Lose Eriksen and get Ndombele, Wan Bissaka etc and you are looking at us becoming more like Liverpool with a hard press. In contrast if we get Grealish, Isco and Fekir we would end up more like a Man City passing between lines so as to displace the opposition.
I have always viewed Poch as a bit of a hybrid, he doesn’t hard press as much as Klopp nor is he as tippy tappy as Pep but sort of something in the middle. It will be interesting who we buy this summer as it will give an indication as to what style we will be heading towards.
Losing Eriksen is not the end of the world as long as we get good players in, they don’t have to be the same as him if we switch tactics.
But City press more than Liverpool. So, you’ve got your identities the wrong way ‘round. Especially this year, as Liverpool’s pressing was down considerably from previous years.
I read that NDombele was a fat teenager and many doubted he would make it as a footballer
Sitting at home wanking about 14 year old girls whilst stuffing his face with cakes.....doesn't paint a pretty picture does it
If that kind of behaviour was discouraged this place wouldn't exist for starters.
Tbh I don't think the guy is too bad, he never claims to be the source of information and it's quite convenient the way he compiles all our links in some ways.
What I don't like however is the way he always puts this cringy positive spin on stories making it sound like it's far more likely to happen than reality. Basically tweeting what he wants to hear rather than what the report actually says.
Agree that in most cases you can tell if a player is any good pretty well immediately.
That's a great point. He was exciting to watch the first couple of times I saw him but not so much in recent cameos since his illness.
Back alley porn
Against weaker teams maybe, but watch Liverpool against barca or even Man City and the work rate they do trying to press is phenomenal.
I probably should have used the word direct more than press though.
I dissagree..... Take that kind of behavious away this place would be so busy the server would explode.

Who's that guy in your avatar....? I think he's got a bright future.
Zaha at £100 mil ain’t happening.
They're definitely more direct, but LFC have backed off on the pressing it seems. They can switch it on when told to, but it's no longer their biggest feature, it seems. Maybe because with Mane and Salah they might prefer having more space to attack into so they can better use their pace.

Surely I didn't go through 2 windows of trf melting; understanding our 'powder' being kept dry... For THAT.

Ideally, Sissoko should not be a starter for us next season, in my humble opinion.
He would be an amazing player to have on the bench as an impact player, to add power and drive to the midfield, but we shouldn't be relying on him to start games.
Their press has become more targeted. Look at the Barca home leg. It wasn't just a general gegenpress. It was literally boxing in Messi and limiting the space that he has to work with.
