In my football transfer round up today, i examine Fikayo Tomori situation at Chelsea and why Liverpool keeps firing blank.
Kindly read along,
For Tomori he had an amasing breakout season in top English football under the same manager. He was main stay in Chelsea's defense last season and we'all are singing his praise. Fast forward to this current season, Fikayo was no where near the first team.
Where did it all gone wrong for Tomori at chelsea ?
Chelsea were shipping in goals last season, infact highest they've conceded in recent years and rhey need to improve the defense. Thaigo Silva came and everything looks so balanced at the back, meaning Tomori chances becomes limited.
The manager preferred Zouma/Silva partnership at the back. And even sometimes prefers playing christensen and until recently Rudiger is introduced back into the team. The reason Tomori is not playing, we don't know perhaps only the manager can explain.
Does Tomori need a new challenge or he should have stayed?
I would say the boy needs a new challenge, hes just 23, he can still learn and improve his game. Going totally to a new country and a new league is actually good for his growth and Italian league is known for producing best defenders.
Fikayo has that quality in him and has proven that last season, Ac Milan must have seen that flash of brilliance in him before making the move.
Ac milan recently having problems with their defense line, players going out due to injuries and they cant afford to lose grip considering they're number one on the table so there is need to reinforce and certainly they've got a quality in Fikayo Tomori. A loan deal with option to buy for £25m for a 23 year old is a good one and a win win situation for both Milan and chelsea.

For liverpool,its rather a disappointing moment for the premier league champions, 0 goal scored so far this year in the league.
Where did Liverpool lose it0?
I keep asking myself where did it all went wrong for liverpool, at some point more than 5 players of the first 11 got injured and liverpool were wining matches. I mean Arnold,Gomes,van dijk,Matip,thiago and so on.
Are there no bullet in liverpool's gun again?
I think during the crisis at the defense line, klopp was able fix and ginger the young boys who covered for the injured players, fabinho did well playing as a centre back,hes done it before at Monaco. Liverpool are not shipping more goals but they are not scoring and not killing off matches like they used to.
My assessments of Liverpool
I think from the midfield things are not right, Thiago who is playing as number 10 for liverpool is a possessive midfielder unlike liverpool team who plays a counter attacking ball, Thiago spent much time on the ball giving the opponent more time to readjust.
Am not saying thaigo is a liverpool problem, No doubt he is a quality player, world class but he needs to play liverpool kind of ball, got the ball play it to the flanks so that the wingers can make the run.
- I also think liverpool front 3, Mane,firmino,Sallah have become so predictable making it easy for the opponents to stop them. I mean westbrom,Southampton,Manchester United and Burnley all stopped them from scoring. Maybe klopp needs to look inwards to his tactics and make some changes.
Lastly i don't think liverpool needs some new signing, Matip is back, Thiago is playing (he just needs some improvement), Van Dijk is training and would be back soon, I feel there is depth in the squad to compete for the title this season, don't forget its not over yet.
