Bradley Barcola

No.

Just to be clear, in absolutely no world whatsoever do we want Cody Gatpo having six shots a game when Isaac is having three and Barcola had one.

No.

And actually, you'll see the quality of those shots when me and Trev talk about it later.

Sometimes felt like he was just desperate for a goal, a bit like old Gatpo rather than this season's Gatpo.

So that is something he needs to correct.

And I bet, especially on the break when we got it wrong, Iriola will be talking to them about that because there's no good world where Gatpo has six shots a game, Izak three, and Barcola one.

You want those numbers flipped around.

Go route one, get the job done.

And I think Barcola came to the fold.

Vert's done well.

They've all done well in their own department.

Check it out.

My highlight of the week was...

Areola getting his first registering his first win at home in the Premier League I know he's been going through it and he figured it out said you know what don't have to play pretty be stubborn and bend a little bit away from my values got the 1-1 done but sometimes football's not it's not hard it's just easy if you just get the tactics right so Areola well done and Brilliant to see Isaac on the map as well, scoring, and Barcola assisting.

That's a good relationship.

My name is Conor and I'm here to go through all of the latest Liverpool news as Liverpool have been linked with Luka Vujkovic of Brighton which is a weird one considering he's only moved there from Spurs in the summer for about £46-50m.

Liverpool were interested in him when he was at Spurs as well so it's not a shock to see this link come back up but I just don't see him leaving Brighton this quickly to be honest but we will discuss that We also have some quotes from Stephen Gerrard, speaking about Florian Wiertz, Bradley Barcola, whether Liverpool need a defensive midfielder or not, and a few other bits and pieces around how Liverpool are playing in general.

A few other bits and pieces to go through as well, but that is the main thing this morning.

So, before we get into it, please do hit the subscribe button, hit the like button, and let's get straight into the news.

One more year plus an extension that we can trigger if we do think he's still doing well after that.

I'm just not ready to say goodbye to Virgil van Dijk.

Moving on then, Stephen Gerrard speaking about Bradley Barcola.

He said...

And our gain is their loss.

Brett said, Craig, I was thinking, instead of full force, I wouldn't start Gakpo and Barcola straight away, put Rio and Chiesa.

That's just a thought.

Yeah, totally understandable, Brett.

the players that he did use at the weekend and the players that he, you know, took off as well.

And I think we might've gotten an indication that Gakbo's likely not to start it because he played the full 90.

I think he's seen Rio come on late in the game and Bradley Barcola come off.

So that kind of, for me at least, gives me a hint that he's trying to manage their workload.

So the right hand side has been very fruitful for us this season so far.

And I know the manager hasn't got the inverted winger that he... initially wanted but we've seen Gakbo do a good job there we've seen Barcola do a good job there we've seen Rio and Victor do a good job there so I actually don't think we need to prioritize another attacking player until the summer and then we'll know what the situation is with Cody Gakbo if he's going to stay if he still wants to move away so yeah I'm at this moment in time in no rush to sort out another attacker I think midfield and right back is a priority and let's reassess in the summer Hey, Craig, I think we'll re-sign Virgil, but I think they will let Alisson go.

Yeah, mate.

Look, I have to say, if one of them is to get re-signed, I would definitely think Virgil's far more likely than Alisson.

This guy, six and seven.

Yeah, but Barcola again, that burst of speed.

I don't know if you saw that goal, but over 20 yards, he overtook a man a yard behind and beaten by a yard over 20 yards.

Do you know how fast you have to be to do that? Like in real life, in real life.

I can't confirm and I can't deny.

But if he'd done that, that's mad intelligence as well as great delivery.

Barcola assisted.

Isak scored.

Isak's on this hot streak of scoring goals.

Barcola started to contribute.

Rio Ingram was in great form as well.

So yeah, I'm really, really happy.

So that's one thing to think about.

The first was a Pascal Gross own goal and then a nice ESAC goal after Barcola just squared a great ball to him.

Gotta give Virts a little credit there for that own goal.

Yeah, although in the commentary,

well.

Was he the one at four for the second goal? Who was that? The one that lost the ball to Barkola.

this at this point we United were 2-0 down so I don't think I remember I have I am into my third one of these

yeah I've seen you pouring yeah you're green can get replenishing a little bit yeah I wonder what the Brighton's XG was this game because they definitely created enough to
