Our problem was not scoring and you think we shouldn't have signed forwards?

Not sure that is your point giving you prefaced it with 'top quality players throughout their squad'
Also, the fact we couldn't field a natural front 3 today would suggest forwards are a squad need

In another universe Newcastle are currently 20th, looking at Forest beat Liverpool while arguing about whether or not Choudhury is absolute *******.
We are 11 games into the season. All I see is constant moaning that you your midfield is useless.
Who was your forwards last season and how many goals did they score?
We bloody well had Chris Wood up front for the second half of last season and were one of the best teams in form
You seem to be contradicting yourself with every post. Our midfield was the same as last season too and we done ok so by your logic we didn't need to improve on that also? You can't have it both ways.
We lost 3 forwards in the summer, we absolutely had to sign forwards. As Purdy says, we couldn't even put 3 recognised forwards out today! Are we playing pretty rubbish this season? Yes. Do we need to strengthen other areas of the side? Yes again but your point suggesting we shouldn't have signed Diaz and Nunez is plain bonkers.

No chance Liverpool are getting top 4. League is far too tight compared to last time in the 20/21 season.
Happy for Forest however. Hopefully they can start stringing results together and get out of the bottom 3.

Did you need to cash in on Mane? And sign Andy Carroll 2.0?

He wanted to leave and had performed well for just 5 months in 2 seasons so yes. And I assumed the Andy Carroll/Nunez comments were just banter? I thought it was pretty clear to anybody that's watched Nunez that he's a very good player.
Mane wanted to leave and Nunez is scoring plenty. This Carroll 2.0 is rent a gob football twitter stuff.

Nunez isn't an 85 million pound player though but that happens when you get to the top. Everything is overpriced.

It's far, far too early saying Liverpool can't make top 4. Title is obviously more unlikely but still a long way to go.
If you replace the 85 with 64 youd be more accurate. If he hits 85 then hed be worth it wouldnt he.

He'll never be an 85 million pound player if results don't start picking up, good job a lot of that figure is bonus related.

Absolutely agree, title has gone for them but they still have to be favourites to get at least 4th spot
The jury is still out in the sense that it's a very short period of time but from the minutes he's had, he's been very good. He's only had 342 minutes on the pitch in the PL and has scored 3 and picked up an assist, which is a very impressive.
As I said in the Liverpool thread, he's a very raw player but he's hugely effective. Hopefully he doesn't headbutt anybody or get injured again anytime soon because he looks like he's going to start scoring for fun soon.
