    Ugarte Is The Pressing Machine Liverpool Need | The Deep Dive



    Ugarte Is The Pressing Machine Liverpool Need | The Deep Dive

    Manuel Ugarte has been the latest midfielder in the rumour mill so Chris and Josh took a deep look into the Sporting man to see what he could do for Liverpool, if he’s any good and whether he would fit in the club (he would!)

      Seems could, could have him and Fab and Jones in a 3 playing if we wanted to be really high pressing side.

    5. zia uddin on

      Yes does all what they do, but some of the stuff … he will be suspended quite a bit and we maybe playing with 10men. Big Risk

    7. Kaleb Teklay on

      For those who don't know him, Ugarte is like 3 times faster than Fabinho. He ranks in the 99th percentile for tackles and 97th percentile for interception. He is also a good distributer of the ball with a passing accuracy of 91% and take on completed around 90%

    8. gomey70 on

      His stats are impressive. Ball retention is so important for us, given the type of good chances we tend to concede.

    10. Asparapee on

      Ugarte + Mac Allister + Gravenberch for the same price as Bellingham…I could get behind that decision if it indeed transpires. Then grab Timber to help at CB on the right side. Perfect summer.

    11. Lardy Baldinho on

      A visit to José Alvalade Stadium maybe required by these two Manuel Ugarte is the same size as Jordan Henderson. Alexis Mac is within an inch of Messi. A modern day Sammy Lee?

    12. Phil RIta on

      The lad looks voracious. So much more mobile and forward thinking than Fab. And a tenacious ball winner will never be out of place in any formation.

    13. Lardy Baldinho on

      LFC plan A was Aurélien Tchouaméni. If they had signed him or Ugarte last August…And then later Cody Gakpo…Who knows? Who owns that cock up?

    14. hathwayh on

      im getting milner replacement vibes, we wanted touchameni who is more is similar to fab(who imo isnt pasted it hes 29!Prime time )

    15. Lardy Baldinho on

      Mac Allister and Ugarte make total sense. LFC may also be considering Gabri Veiga. Stefan Bajcetic's academy buddy. All 3 have either a direct or indirect connection with Anfield. Integrating their Brains, Beastiness and Bursts of pace into the quality already in situ? Wow.. And not too pricey.

    18. mr4string on

      We won’t sign him because he won’t be considered tall enough. The profile we’re confirmed at looking at have been 6 ft plus. He’s under 6ft.

    22. House Of Apps on

      I ACTUALLY SENT A EMAIL TO LFC ABOUT UGARTE WHEN HE WAS 19 AND I GOT TOLD THAT THATS WHY THEY HAVE SCOUTS AND BLEW ME OUT IN A WAY. NOW THERE INTERESTED. THEY GOT HIM AT 19 THEY WOULD OF GOT HIM AT 10 MILLION. MATIAS AREZO ALSO SHOULD BE ON LIVERPOOLS RADER BEFORE THEY LOSE GETTING HIM CHEAP AS WELL

    25. Pedro on

      Portuguese and Sporting Lisbon fan here, Ugarte is a beast he's a mix of rodri & palhinha, good takling, very aggressive, good passes, good positioning and good progressive play. 60M€ release clause 😁

    26. Talkshit Ko on

      He's ok ,but i aint convinced.Weve gone from Bellingham to happy to get anything out of FSG.
      He dosnt look like hes built for running all day like Kante or Fabinho was.
      He goes to the floor far to much.
      I'd prefer Caicedo if we can afford more than bargin basement

    27. 3allz on

      Although I don't think Fab is as good as he was 2+ years ago, he's certainly not as bad as he has been this season. I think this season can be chalked off as fatigue and burnout for a lot of players. I expect after a summer break, next season Fabinho will find his form again to a much better level.

    30. Max Huneeus on

      One thing to mention about the opposition is the way that easier opposition can make you look like a much more dominant player. If you remember Bajcetic against Everton, he was super dominant and yet failed to recreate that dominance against better teams. This doesn't meant these players don't have talent, only that it won't translate right away

    31. Alcoholophile on

      Liverpool forfeited an entire season for Bellingham and aren’t even gonna go for him. Instead you’re lookin at guys like this to make you slightly more competitive losers to City
