Another great Purslow/Gerrard coup.

Doubt Gerrard had much to do with it, he was on borrowed time by then and looked like Luiz was gone. Kamara hadn't settled either and we were getting bullied in midfield most games in that horrid 433. Gerrard did from memory not allow the Sarr signing to go through around then.

In a matter of weeks, Emery had shifted Luiz next to Kamara with McGinn and Ramsey on the sides. Coutinho, Ings and Donk gone. Simple but effective.

Jesus Christ, that 4-3-3. McGinn and Ramsay playing as auxiliary full-backs, filling in for Cash and Digne going forward. Kamara alone in the vast expanse of the midfield.

He's been disappointing, but at 27 when he signed I expected him to be fairly useful as a squad player. He's one of those players that seemed to age very quickly and now plays like he's years older than he is.

Yep, I had him as a good option to cover Kamara and at CB but he's just never looked mobile enough to be a premier league player for me.
