I'm surely overreacting to an injury-forced substitution in a heavily changed cup side, but that 4-4-2 intrigued me.

Yeh, Vic, VDV and Solomon are all shite and you're a super-smart guy.
Unless Hojbjerg has a change of heart on Fulham
Fancy name. Checks out.
Our midfield lacks strength.
Does it?
What midfield in the Prem do you think "bullies" a three of Bissouma, Maddison and Sarr?
What's Solomon done to get in with those two? Had a couple of bright pre-season friendlies and a meh performance in the league cup?
Not saying he's bad either. But at least the other two have started to prove the 'haters' wrong by actually playing well.
I'm confident that just before 11 pm BST we're going to swooooop on our target like a silent screech owl on an unsuspecting fieldmouse.
I suspect it is for ins. The Hoj - Gallagher thing always felt a bit far fetched and if we're turning down offers for Sanchez and Dier wont budge then thats your lot. Rest of the day will be trying to get rid of Lloris, Ndombele and maybe Gil. Hope i'm wrong.
I don't mind if PEH stays, long as he's just used as a sub to shore the team up when we're already winning.
Similar price to Palmer, Barnes, Jota, Madueke, Gordon. All players in a fairly similar bracket of quality, all hg except for Jota. That's what you pay for good, not great, hg players with room to grow. Alex Scott was 25m, an attacking midfielder with one goal in 42 games last year (he looks really good, not slating him). Antony, Mudryk etc movinh for 85m plus with no serious goalscoring record. Gravenberch looked great at Ajax, but Liverpool just spent 40m on a guy who looked incredibly average over the summer for Netherlands u21's. Prices are crazy because these clubs make crazy money. That said, there's probably 20 players I'd have wished for before coming to Brennan Johnson
Madison is probably our best player but he's not exactly well built. Bissouma is amazing too but he's not as big or strong as Casemiro, Partey, Rice or Rodri.
I threw the brakes on the Solomon Hype Train after Tuesday.
And you'd imagine his opportunities will dwindle a bit from here bar injury.
Yeah that’s fair enough.
I do think there’s a player there though. Hope he gets enough chances to show it
I agree; but it's largley because the clubs themselves are utterly inconsequential and interchangeable.
