He’s just bad and never worth the $
I’ve seen too many bad goalies to say he’s a bad goalie. I think he is the same as like Pickford

LFC playing last two preseason games today. Split squad. MW1 squad already played this morning and won 4-1.
Backups and fringe guys playing in a couple hours probably not watching.
Lessons from preseason
- This team goes as far as healthy Diogo Jota takes them. I’ve gone in depth on this before, so just going to leave it like that. And they still need another striker.
- They are going to score a lot of goals, they are going to score a lot of nice goals. If you look at highlights you can probably see what a trademark Slot goal is going to look like. It’s going to the replicable, it’s going to be their bread and butter.
- This team is going to give up some BAD goals. I’d prefer if we didn’t start every game down 1-0 like last year, but we are still going to ship goals. Zubimendi would exponentially help versus this because we need his buildup to mitigate some of this, but Slot is going to be all about buildup play and we are going to give up ugly goals. This will probably get better over the season but if can keep that under control it’ll be a big deal
- Even if they sign Zubimendi, they still need some 2-3 signings. If they do not sign Zubimendi they need to find someone else who can help build from deep. Maybe that’s Varela, maybe that’s a guy like Angelo Stiller, I don’t know. They are really shooting the moon with Zubimendi because it’s an extremely difficult transfer to close and not a lot of people on the planet does what he does
- 17 year old Trey Nyoni is going to get minutes. He is going to be good.
- Quansah might (still) be ahead of Konate on the team sheet
- The core guys are going to be fine in this system I think we might see more Gravenberch and Jones and less Szoboszlai and Bajcetic than people may think. Szoboszlai will get a ton of minutes at multiple positions either way though.
- This is still going to be a high ceiling team. It’ll be interesting to follow all season. I think Slots style is kind of a middle ground between Ange and RDZ and we will see how it plays out. Still think this is no worse than the 3rd best team in the PL
