He/she just can't help themself - criticism is not to be tolerated!Ah, so it was just another completely out of the blue unnecessary pop at posters on this forum. Got ya!

I’d argue it’s Whiteman. I’ve been really impressed by him so far and he’ll only get better. His leadership ability is shining through too and he’s only been here 5 mins. Once he’s settled in he’s going to be some player.On performance so far the best recruit in this window is easily the keeper.
I agree with this and I get the same feel as I did for Pearson when he first arrived. You could see the class Pearson had within his first couple of appearances and he didn’t let us down except for some silly bookings. I just hope AN plays him in his best position and doesn’t try to make him into the next Ben Pearson which he isn’t.I’d argue it’s Whiteman.

Fisher won’t beFar far stronger.
Sorry to see Davies go, he was class, but the unsettling influences of Fisher and Pearson won’t be missed, both had gone backwards recently. We now have a good group of players who will be there for each other, and plenty of cover at the back.
Pity we couldn’t find that elusive goalscorer we need ( the same one that everyone else needs ), but Evans and Riis will come good in the run in, and we need a few other players to stop firing blanks, we have plenty who know where the net is, Barky, Sinclair, Maguire, DJ, Browne, Whiteman plus the new lads.
I’m not at all bothered about the loans, about time we did it, everyone else does. And makes it easier to sort out our squad for the Prem next season.
This pandemic has brought out some miserable buggers on here, start smiling folks 😀😃😄😁😆
Three of the five "weaker replacements" are empty pegs in the dressing room.If you pulled the Liverpool team apart, not all of them would walk into a top 4/6 Prem team. They are not a team of individuals, they are a true ‘team’. So us having ‘weaker replacements’ doesnt mean they wont gel as a team.
An obvious and current example is Liverpool buying Davo. If you get the team right, not all players have to be superstars
So, we have evolved whether we like it or not, lets see what these lads can do once they start playing together.

At least the loans want to be here.Weaker now because it's all based on loans.
A good point, perhaps they actually want to play football.At least the loans want to be here.
The fact there are a lot of loans bothers me not one jot. They are all putting themselves in th shop window even if not for us. It’s in their best interests to shine. If anything, I think that is an advantage at this moment in time. It’s the gelling and getting to know each other’s style and strengths that I think will be more concerning. All we can do is think positively and support.At least the loans want to be here.
I read something yesterday that Everton want him to learn this part of the game, the defensive side of things. Might be one of the reasons he ended up with us in the first place.I put about the same but if Neil gets his arm around Gordon's shoulder and whispers "I know you're shit hot at attacking the opposition but lets have a chat about your tracking back defensive duties" then my friends imo I believe we fall into the weaker bracket.
