šŸ—£ļø Andoni Iraola on right-back and midfield cover:

"Challenge in the squad now is we don't have Conor Bradley there at right-back. That's why I value Dom [Szoboszlai] at right-back as he can play there. Versatility in the player helps us go through the moments when we have injuries.

In midfield we have good numbers. Now it's a matter of getting the right calls from myself. I'm finding now the best combinations and we are going through a period now where we will play a lot of games and we'll have a chance to see the options we have and the combinations we have. It's a matter of coaching."

Gaffer seems pretty calm on the situation. Of course he wouldn't come out and say he feels like what he has isn't good enough even if he did feel that way, but at least he's saying the right things regardless.

I hope we see as little of Szoboszlai at RB as possible though. Bradley can't come back soon enough!

I disagree, MK, I think Szoboszlai at RB is the ideal position for him to cover his weaknesses and show his strengths. He has excellent quality on the ball but serious positional indiscipline.

Very few wingers will outlast him as he has speed and stamina, and RB will give him the space he doesn’t get in midfield. It also ā€œsolvesā€ the issue of Frimpong being nowhere near good enough.

03 Sep 2026 13:02:21
Lowe, I can’t agree with that at all, but it’s a subjective topic so I understand your viewpoint. I am a big believer in playing people in their best positions unless you’re desperate. Last season we robbed Peter (midfield) to pay Paul (right back) repeatedly. Neither Szoboszlai nor Jones really performed at RB and we ended up just looking short in midfield at times. The worst part was that Frimpong and Ramsay were fit for most of these games where Dom and Jones played right back.

No matter how average Frimpong and Ramsay are, retaining balance in the team should’ve been more important.

I can understand Dom playing RB to close games out if Frimpong needs a rest, but in terms of them actually starting there? That’s a no from me. I’m not averse to Araujo playing RB as that doesn’t weaken the team in other areas, seeing as he appears to be back-up to Jacquet at CB. But please, not another year of midfielders in defence. We can’t behave that desperately again!

03 Sep 2026 13:05:05
You need positional discipline to play RB.

4


03 Sep 2026 13:09:54
No, no, no, no!! Wasn’t it unanimous that Dom shan’t play at RB? That only a fool would play him there?

6


03 Sep 2026 13:15:42
Would you expect him to say something else?

0


03 Sep 2026 13:43:23
MK, as a general principle, I agree that you play players in their positions - clearly we saw that in 2020/21 when we improved just by playing Nat Phillips etc instead of Henderson there. In my opinion, Szoboszlai isn’t a very good central midfielder even if he is an excellent overall player, and that would be my rationale for moving him.

Would he take Bradley’s place? No. Frimpong? I think it’s worth a try.

1


03 Sep 2026 12:36:31
Cannot believe you advocating Szobo to play at RB, absolutely battered Slot with your posts for an entire year on playing him out of postion and taking the engine out from the midfield. My Fecking fowler. At least slot got it right about Frimpong not good enough as a RB.

2


03 Sep 2026 14:02:49
So hang on a minute I’m confused.

Slot was crucified for playing Dom at RB, and in my opinion rightly so. I understand doing it for a game or 2 if we literally don’t have anyone else, but he constantly did it when we needed a goal at the end of a game. Take a defender off, put an attacker on and move Dom to RB, and it never worked. Not once, yet he still did it every time. It was as if he was just so beleaguered by the end of the season, he used it as a comfort blanket.

Now Iraola has just done the same thing.

Are we saying Slot was actually right all along?

I bet Slot was laughing his head off in his Ibiza apartment when he saw Iraola put Dom at RB on Saturday. It kind of gives him justification for something he got absolutely hammered for, don't you think?

Please, Andoni, if you read these pages (which I’m sure you do because you’re a Liverpool fan now), please no more Dom at RB. Please.

I don’t care who you play there, but please not Dom. I’ve still got PTSD from watching that last season.

2


03 Sep 2026 14:14:51
I’m sure this won’t be a popular post, but just my opinion. Iraola is playing 2 6/8 hybrids and a 10/9 hybrid. Dom is an 8/10 hybrid. There’s no natural position for him in this formation. Imo he can play any of these 3 positions, but won’t get his best attributes out of them. Under Slot, in a 433, it made sense not to play Dom at RB, but under Iraola, in this formation, I’m not so sure.

I’d like to see him as an RB with freedom to roam for a few games and someone with more defensive awareness (Nyoni/Macca) in midfield for a few games. Szoboszlai and Munoz on the right. I like the idea of that.

6


03 Sep 2026 14:44:08
Dom's absolute best position really is as the number 10 leading the press. Maybe you don't get as much creativity from him as Wirtz, but that's the best way to harness his best traits while minimizing the risk of his weaknesses in terms of lack of positional awareness. He is an excellent 8 in most respects and can also play in the double pivot, but he needs an ideal partner that can sit.

Right now we don't have one, which is why the suggestion that he plays right back is not a terrible one. When we do end up buying one, then sure, playing in the double pivot would be where he should be, unless Wirtz isn't playing the 10.

2


03 Sep 2026 14:57:48
This is the absolutely crazy thing about our midfield. Szoboszlai, Mac Allister, Gravenberch, Nyoni and Wirtz's strength all get amplified playing alongside a proper physical, more defensive-minded midfielder.
Everyone can see it.
Madness.

2


03 Sep 2026 15:04:02
But then you're taking the mystical 'legs' out of MF. Grav and Macca aren't gonna cover the ground. No legs in MF has been one of the major gripes on here since last year.

2


03 Sep 2026 15:07:24
Szob should not play RB ever if he doesn't have positional discipline as suggested. He should either play in the middle, at 10, or at RW, the latter being where I think he should be personally.

0


03 Sep 2026 15:21:49
I think both things can be correct on this topic. Yes, Slot got slaughtered for playing Szobo RB and I did too and on a good day, I wouldn't want that either. And btw, he didn't sign a 5 year extension to play RB.

Now, that was then. This is now. And right now as @Lowel put it, Szobo lacks the defensive nous, awareness and decision-making in terms of his passing choices, to play the no. 8 the way we need him to play it. Grav is no better either right now.

The reality (this is also "now") is that Frimpong, who many of us wanted to get a chance this season, is massively struggling right now.

So what should Iraola do in the meantime cos, remember, he is there to find solutions to issues in the short/long term? Just keep things the same when they are not working? Of course not, and he won't do that, thankfully.

Therefore if Szobo has to play RB till things get better (not what we all want, of course) then, so be it. Again, both views can be correct at the same time here.

0


03 Sep 2026 15:33:15
Frimpong struggled last season at RB whenever Bradley was out too. And wasn’t Wirtz playing ahead of Dom and Grav last year whenever we had our best team available? Seems to me putting him at RB now would be pretty much identical to when he was out there last year.

1


03 Sep 2026 15:42:54
Slot was rightly criticised for playing Dom at RB. If Iraola also does so, he should be criticised too. Dom is a CM or an AM. At a push he could be a RW. He is nowhere near good enough defensively to play RB, though.

Frimpong might not be a great RB, but he at least defends the 1v1 situations to an average Premier League standard. Dom is clearly a front foot player though. He can power through challenges, he can press, he can run beyond players and he can score goals. As soon as he’s backing up towards his own goal and has to stand someone up, he gets found out. He has the wrong body shape/stance when defending 1v1, and that leaves him flat footed and relying on recovery pace after he’s beaten.

That’s fine in midfield when there are players behind you and you’ve got 30-40 yards to recover. At RB, though, if you get beaten, either a shot is going at goal or a cross is going into the box. There is nobody behind you, and it’s unlikely you’ll get back in.

Karma B and Flo Musiala are correct. Slot was absolutely battered for playing Dom at RB. He’s a last resort there in my opinion and whilst Bradley is injured, it makes sense that Dom might occasionally have to fill in to allow for tactical changes within a game. But I still do not want to see him start a single game at RB.

3


03 Sep 2026 15:53:51
You need a far higher degree of positional discipline to play in a pivot and Szoboszlai doesn’t have anywhere near the required level to play there, so Right Back suits a player who has a good engine and can run all day.

0


https://www.rangersrumours.co.uk/images/Ed0041.png avatar{Ed666's Note - I don’t even think it’s that much of a nuanced role Victor. I mean we’ve all played football how difficult can it be to stay back and keep your position when you sense danger or when you’ve made a forward run and you or the team have lost the ball to track back. It’s elementary stuff and these are meant to be proffesionals.

4


03 Sep 2026 15:30:00
this right position, please not Frimpong, he doesn't have a clue at right back, just find the right formation to get the best out of our midfield,
still can't believe that we didn't bring in a proper right back,
and a proper right winger,
feels like we don't have the right people in charge,
however, I do think that there will be a couple of changes come the winter transfer window, Minteh for one, and Macca going out and replaced with someone who can actually run and tackle.

1


03 Sep 2026 16:12:22
Frimpong has only played two games this season. He is struggling, so we want him replaced and that's giving him a chance?
And replace him with a player that is struggling in his more natural position? Hmmmm.

1


03 Sep 2026 16:32:51
People making out this playing in a pivot is rocket science. Should be a 30 second conversation between Andoni and the players to get across what he expects.

1


03 Sep 2026 17:29:14
Half of you plus szob have to realise doms best position is rb. Hes's a rb just like Trent was. People fought over putting him in midfield but like dom he was a useless prima donna there who just messed up the mf. We wanted a Trent replacement we got one in dom.

1


03 Sep 2026 18:28:57
Interested to know why people calling for Dom at RB weren’t piping up to defend Slot’s decision to play him there last season?

He got hammered for that on a weekly basis on these pages.

It is way too early to judge anyone in this new system yet.

1


04 Sep 2026 02:35:25
Trent wasn’t RB either. If Trent could defend a bit and had a bit more speed, he’d have been a proper RWB. Szob is basically the same sort of beast. He's not got the passing range of Trent but is a bit better at defending. Bradley is a better defender than either of them, but is also, at heart, an attacking RWB, and Frimpong is just someone who can run quickly.

I understand that people want an RB worth the name, but perhaps AI will settle on wingbacks.

Who knows, but if you roll forward 12-18 months, a 3 at the back: Jacquet - Ndukwe - Leoni is an interesting proposition with Kerkez and Bradley as wingbacks.

As an aside, check out Raul Asencio @ Vik. It sort of puts your seemingly unfounded foul mouth abuse on a public forum for what it was.

Insightful interview from Andoni just now. Leoni back in training for the international break. Gomez trains next week. Chiesa weirdly isn't back until the international break as well. No idea what's wrong with him. He's very very happy with Barcola.

Says others even Dom can cover RB and that Dom and others are happy to help the squad. No news on Rios contract but he said he's a super talent and can learn from being on the right. Check it out if you haven't already.

I mean, they'll definitely be in the mix, but I still look at that squad and I'm absolutely astonished how much money it has cost for a lot of players that aren't world beaters. That defence doesn't come close to Arsenal's, that's for sure.

2


03 Sep 2026 11:53:58
I honestly thought their squad was so much better than that. I might have to revise my prediction of 2nd place for Chelsea. After Pedro, Rogers, Palmer and Neto, their attacking options are bang average. After Caicedo and Lavia, their midfield options are even worse unless you include an injury-prone right back (Reece James). Their wing-backs look poor aside from Palestra, as evidenced by the fact Neto is out of position as their best on the right side. As for their defence, Colwill and Lacroix are the only ones who aren’t bang average. Even the new keeper Martinez is massively overrated and makes nearly as many mistakes as Sanchez did.

He just got less smoke because Villa aren’t as big a news story as Chelsea.

Wow, I honestly thought their depth was much better than that. Their saving grace, of course, is they have no European football, so it’s unlikely their depth will be challenged. That might help them get away with having such a poor squad. There really aren’t many players there I’d choose to have at Liverpool. Pedro, Rogers, Palmer, Neto, Caicedo and Colwill is pretty much it. Palestra is a bit of an unknown quantity to be fair. Maybe he’ll be a good signing. How on earth have they ended up that weak after 4 years of constantly spending money?

2


03 Sep 2026 12:53:35
Would love Palestra, Estevao and Caicedo in our squad.

2


03 Sep 2026 14:28:01
I would take Joao Pedro too, Fly, to rotate & put pressure on Isak.

0


03 Sep 2026 14:41:32
Acheampong is a good player too, MK, surely they should give him a chance ahead of Fofana? And 6 players you'd have at Liverpool is quite a few haha. I rate Lavia highly when he's fit, which is not often.

Estevao was looking a world-beater, then he got a bad hamstring injury. Not sure what kind of player will be returning. To be perfectly honest though, Reece James is still probably their best player.

0


03 Sep 2026 10:21:52
Leoni back in training after the international break. Very good news. Hope he comes back strong and can put pressure on Virgil for his spot.

7


03 Sep 2026 11:34:57
Great news, Taurus. I think Leoni will be a terrific signing, proving he fully recovers from this ACL.
I actually think CB is looking healthy with how quickly Jacquet has settled.

2


03 Sep 2026 11:44:37
Great news, too bad about Bradley who is still far away from a return apparently. 😪

0


03 Sep 2026 11:59:13
I think he’ll be eased back in personally. Good as he looked a year ago on his debut, returning from an ACL can be tricky.

By the way, the prospect of having Ndukwe, Jacquet and Leoni all aged 20-23 in a couple of years is mouth watering for the future of the club.

That’s 3 elite talents. Hopefully injuries are kind to them from now on and they all stay grounded.

03 Sep 2026 12:12:03
Agree MK, I don't think we see him play till November at the very earliest.

03 Sep 2026 12:15:21
Ndiaye looks a good buy too. If Brughmann comes good too, we have:

Brughmanns
Ndukwe
Leoni.
Jacquet.
Ndiaye.

All under 22.

2


03 Sep 2026 13:50:13
Brughmanns, Leoni and Ndiaye can all qualify as homegrown too.

I can understand inflation on the likes on food and gas but people? Really? How can inflation work on people? It's already stupid, the prices these players are going for.

It's more greedy agents, sponsors and clubs than anything else that the prices are sky rocketing.

Actually, the more I read it, the more laughable those figures are. Jesus, who wrote the original article?

1


03 Sep 2026 12:26:15
I think the only way to look at "inflation" in football is to compare what clubs generated back then and now!

2


03 Sep 2026 12:48:38
I wrote a post a few weeks back applying inflation based on our revenues (as a proxy for all clubs).

Not perfect maths - that would require a thesis - but a decent approximation.

4


03 Sep 2026 13:18:03
Whilst the annual inflation rate from 1996 to now is only about 2.5 - 3%, a lot of people forget that 'football inflation' is much higher; it's also harder to calculate for, as different aspects of the game seem to increase at different rates, but a relatively safe, rough number comes closer to about 9%. Some of these numbers certainly feel overinflated and inaccurate, especially considering that there's a 6.1% spread in his calculations, ranging from about 4.5 - 10.5% annually.

The author used total Premier League revenue growth as the basis for his model, which is not the most accurate way to calculate for inflation on transfers, and I'm sure he knows it, but also knows it would likely give him the most dramatic figures.

0


03 Sep 2026 13:58:54
To do it properly you would probably have to calculate each year independently based on averages across all transfers that season, removing outliers. Plus, I would be willing to wager half of these initial figures are incorrect anyway because there would be figures reported without add ons, or some with add ons that were never achieved etc.

Then, additionally, you have all the additional costs and fees that are never made publicly available and are likely just as volatile and inconsistent.

I don't trust "journalists" of today to tell me what day it is, let alone anything of substance like this.

This is a perfect example of why ed002 disliked discussing financials.

What increase index is being proposed as "inflation"? For example RPI has increased from 152.4 in July 1996 to 419.1 in July 2026, which is 175% increase over 30 years. running close to 6% per annum. However, that is only one of the many indices we could use.

I am more concerned that despite spending £100m we are still discussing fielding players out of position. We really need get out of this 'square pegs in round holes' mentality.

We also need to appoint an industry savvy director of football. Preferably not an ex-player, who skipped school to play football and can barely negotiate driving in his supercar, let alone negotiate his way through a boardroom and football transfer politics.

Good article by Paul Joyce in The Times today about Hughes’ tenure, but highlights how 2027 is the rebuild of the midfield, specifically mentioning Camara.

3


03 Sep 2026 11:18:27
Not really sure he says anything insightful in it. A bunch of potential excuses and how we cannot judge his tenure for another 18 months.

The facts are we dismantled a title-winning squad and now have one that will compete for top 4, despite spending half the GDP of a small country.



Yes, we've been unlucky with injuries and other circumstances, but there have been many windows and plenty of money available to react accordingly.

4


03 Sep 2026 11:40:45
I think the thing we can all see as supporters is: he/they have taken a squad that won the title and now left us what feels like a long way behind Arsenal, City and maybe even Chelsea (harder to judge them without European football). He has taken a squad that, not perfect — few squads ever are — but had decent cover in every position and game changers on the bench, to one that is lopsided and clearly lacking in some areas.

I mean, is Frimpong going to be our no1 RB for most of this season? It looks that way. All this was done in 2 summers!!!

0


03 Sep 2026 12:05:30
How did we dismantle a title winning squad, Pelican?
Didn't Diaz and TAA want to go? Were Konate, Robertson and Salah not on the decline? Wasn't Nunez just a mistake?

03 Sep 2026 12:36:40
Rigsby - Believe it or not, the Sporting Director is accountable for the squad strength, with the exception of a club that is financially hamstrung, which we are certainly not.

If you agree that the squad strength is weaker than 22/23 and 23/24, then whether you want to say dismantled, deteriorated, diminished or disasterclass (Carra's word), I don't mind.



I know how you don't like certain words, Rigsby.

2


03 Sep 2026 13:08:32
I agree with Rigsby. Trent and Diaz wanted to leave so nobody dismantled anything.

Konate wanted stupid money for a guy who’d just had a season Djimi Traore would be ashamed of, so had to go.

Salah was absolutely awful last season to the point where he was a hindrance, and he was mouthing off to the press, causing problems in the camp. He had to go.

Robbo was constantly getting caught out on the wrong side and literally couldn’t stop a cross if his life depended on it. It was his time to go.

Nunez was everyone's whipping boy.

We tragically lost Jota, as everyone knows.

We’ve now replaced them with real quality players. I mean real quality. Wirtz, Isak, Barcola, Ekitike. Munoz looks like a shrewd signing too.

The only ones who you could question are Kerkez and Frimpong, but they’ve only had 1 season when even our best players weren’t performing. Players we’ve relied on for years like VVD, Salah, Robbo and Ali all had really poor seasons, so how can you expect any new signings to perform at their best level?

Like it or not, we bought Kerkez and Frimpong a year ago and we absolutely shouldn’t be replacing them before they’ve even had a chance to show us what they can do.



I despise this hate for Frimpong, especially. Why can’t we just support him and give the lad a chance? He was injured for most of last season and now we need to rely on him until Bradley is back. You don't become first choice in a team that won the German title going unbeaten all season if you are an awful player.

He just needs to find his feet with a new CB next to him and a new RW ahead of him. He has pace to burn, which could be really important as Iraola slowly coaxes Virgil out of his ā€˜let’s all retreat into our own box at every opportunity’ phase.

Long and short of it, yes we’ve lost players from a title winning team but we couldn’t have done much better in replacing them. Now we just need to let the manager do his job and figure out a way to get them firing.

03 Sep 2026 13:51:10
Riosstepover - Richard Hughes will never sleep with you.

Chiesa signing has proven to be a waste. Marmar cannot use his feet, which makes no sense as a Liverpool GK signing. Frimpong is not a RB or a RW. Could we have not done better than that to replace Trent? Kerkez is a bombing fullback, yet the previous coach wanted him to invert. What on earth was that about? We will see what his old coach Iraola now does with him. He was poor on Saturday. Wirtz was signed without a midfield plan behind him. In terms of coaching we have gone from from press-bait first Slot-ball to suffocate the opposition Iraola-ball. Diaz was replaced a year late. Salah will be replaced a year late. Please don't tell me we couldn't have done any better.

Some good things have been done too. Those should be rightly appreciated. Hugo, Isak, Barcola, Wirtz, Munoz and Rio is some attacking threat. Trey Nyoni is a talent and deserves a chance in midfield this season. The CB situation looks good, especially the young talent we have signed. The new young GK looks a talent too.

Seriously though, the proof will be in the pudding when we get to the next windows demanding a RB, midfielders that can actually tackle and pass and a specialist RW. Maybe even a goalkeeper after Alisson gets his autumn hamstring injury and we have to watch Marmar save nothing for months.

If that doesn't happen, I will be first to say that I was wrong. :)

I am fed up with the hate Frimpong gets on here. Whatever happened to the best supporters in the world?

And get over the players we 'lost'. Konate was an accident waiting to happen and most wanted him gone. Robertson and Salah were on a rapid decline and continued their downward trajectory at their new clubs.

Nunez was another pariah, but he split opinion.

Sammy Lee, Craig Johnston and Paul Walsh wouldn’t have got a look-in on here if they were playing today.

We need the team to gel and battle for each other. Some of our players may surprise a few on here this season.

Ping Pong is a disaster signing. He cannot cross a ball and does not defend well, is often out of position and has lost the ball more times than anyone else.

What do we get from him?

Well said, Rio.

St Etienne, in whose eyes are we the best supporters in the world? I think that myth was well and truly busted when we booed Trent.

Oh, and Frimpong was a complete and utter waste of a signing.
