Yeah but he isn’t getting to the ball if the defender missed it and it’s not as if he was swinging for that shot and it was deflected. His feet wasn’t quick enough. The defender is far enough away that he can time a touch, the swing just looks terrible

It's obviously a-bit of piss taking, for the most part.
I can't imagine many on here have seen a whole lot of him.
Indeed. Hes got a bit of a janky style so any mistakes look a lot more ugly than perhaps they are.
I still think they have massively overpaid for him but Liverpool seem to be able to polish any turd to an acceptable standard these days. If if he was shit I wouldn't be surprised to see them sell him for £100m in 2 years somehow.
Martial scores more then him in the league this season.
He might be a great player but the people who said he's a bit of a donkey were spot on. Looks so awkward on the ball. Reminds me so much of Lukaku.
That headed clearance was Vidic-esque. Brilliant signing
He's shite. Big downgrade from Mané. Beginning of the end of Klopp's reign.
The Uruguayan Andy Carroll.
10-15 goals all comps this season.

It's about time they had a genuine dud of a big transfer, Keita was probably the last big money "iffy" transfer.
Hoping this lump will be it.

All you had to do was look at his stats and he was in the bottom 1% for pass completion, 1% for shot creating actions & 17% for passes received.
All adds up to someone rarely involved in the build up and when he does receive it he's more likely to give it away than link up with a team mate.
He'll be a penalty box poacher and that's a completely different style to what they are used to with Firmino or Mane playing up top.

Why? Because he is a Liverpool player and they never make mistakes?
Because he's came on as a sub in two pre season games, fans suggesting he's rubbish is premature.
People thought we were in the market for a dynamic young forward. When Murtough was actually trying to replace LindelofThat header
And we pushed the price up on top
He needs to do something about his hair. The Andy Carroll memes will be relentless.
Once the PEDs kick in and he starts snowballing asthma inhalers, we’re all going to see a very different player
Madness to spunk a fortune on a player who's only had one elite season in an average league and outperformed his xG throughout that season. I'm glad we drove the price up for the dippers and then pulled out.
He is wank. He was wank against Ajax in the CL too, although he did score twice then. Still wank.
Don't see the big deal with that miss tbh. Defender got a toe on it, most strikers would have miskicked that. He was poor against us on Tuesday though, nothing resembling a 100m player.
He was bought as a Mane replacement though, and he is not even the same level. Forget Mane, Salah, Firmino, Diaz and Jota are all better, which is a concern considering they paid £85m for him.
On track to be at least! Certainly nothing I've seen in preseason has even remotely dissuaded me from my opinion over the past couple years.
I have bold statement; Origi is better than this guy
You usually give a good and fair assessment mate so I’m hopeful you’ll pull through. So far you look on the money again!
Cant judge anything on a pre-season really, but from what highlights i have seen, he does not look top level, at all. I remember seeing it somewhere, maybe sky sports; that he'd only had one, maybe 2 good seasons in Benfica...
Mind you I thought the same when we bought Diego Costa and he was shite in the WC that year... but a different player when the league started

He was so touchy about him in the interview. It’s like he’s trying desperately to not let pressure snowball on Darwin Theory. But the player goes and adds more pressure every time he goes out looking like Lukaku.
Regardless of how many he gets this season, Liverpool have had their pants pulled down for 100m. Even the benfica fans can’t believe it on their forums.
This lad will barely feature for Liverpool this season. Cup games and backup only, he’s not good and Klopp knows it
He just looks really clumsy, so mistakes look really bad as a result.
I mean I'm sure when the season starts and Trent/robertson is crossing the ball 54 times a game he's sure to get his donkey head on one of them right?
I'm sure he will score goals but its obvious already that he's Not a 100 mil player.
Benfica have bent them over big time.

He seems to be quick , and physical enough to be handful to defenders. Constant running too, so would blend in at Liverpool.
But his touch seems to be bad, not sure if it is due to pressure. If it is really due to pressure, then over-time he will do good.
Hopefully he never does that and fails at Liverpool.

It’s funny how shit he is
Indeed, he will likely lukaku his way into a decent goals total.
I literally told everyone. Only people raving about Darwin never saw him for 2 years in Portugal.
Could he be ok yes absolutely but ATM 100M for Him was ridiculous. Liverpool got worse because he is not going to replicate or replace mane. At least not this first year.
As I always said Benfica players….. it was nothing like Luiz Diaz who was amazing for 3 years. Darwin had one good season in 2… and even then he showed a lot of deficiencies. In Portugal many tall strikers succeed like Dost Slimani Jackson and ….Darwin…. Portugal league defenses don’t do well with big tall strikers.

Benfica put these crazy price tags on their player and people pay them even through their track record is not all that great.
Chances are he'll come good and bang in 20 goals, but feck me I'm really enjoying reading this thread. Carry on lads
They got €150mill for Coutinho so everythings possible.
His every touch being analysed 
That’s what you get when you talk about not spending €100m on players and then do in fact go and spend €100m on a player…

That was pre covid and he was genuinely incredible for them, I was so happy to see him go.
