Wait, na £1M per week PSG give Messi?

Morata's last touch (heavy touch) before he passed is the perfect opportunity for VVD to nip the ball off him. But he was busy organising traffic as the warden that he is...

Morata was probably shocked that shey na me this guy who taught Vidic Baresi and Maldini dey run from?
Morata only grew confident when he saw VVD running away from him

kendrick93:
Yeah,
first game since a 7-8months lay off in a pre season friendly.
Great point

How many months injury was he acclamatizing from here?

timbros:


More like a more sharp forward line... Salah dipped form. Firmino is just being Firmino. Mane was anonymous for a large part of the season. We only started to see the lethal Mane we use to know at the tail end of the season. Jota came in firing on all cylinders then got injured.

Forget VVD. Liverpool's problem was attack.

pool were fielding a combination of Rhys Williams , Henderson, Fabinho, nat Philips at CB.
You would be dishonest if you're telling me Vandjjik won't improve that backline hence better results.
c'mon now

A fit VVD Liverpool was chopping 7-2 and in 4th position

Without VVD Liverpool was able to rally back to 3rd

Liverpool were challenging for the league before he got injured.
what happened next?

TheLequte:


Okay.

But how many golden boots has Henry got? And how much does Harry Kane have?

Not saying one is greater than the other. Just comparing notes.

Harry Kane would’ve been closer to Thierry H. if he’d moved to a top club 3-4 years ago.

Henry got 4 golden boots in 8 seasons, Harry has played 9 seasons now and he’s got just 3.

Let’s not forget Henry got 3 of those 4 on a stretch . Igwe was unplayable.... he racked up assists on his way and even got voted twice as EPL best player . Then again u are right , maybe if Kane has moved to a more ambitious club he would’ve posted more figures than Henry ever did

Check their goals conceded, it's similar to when VVD was around. They lost up to 5 matches by a single goal. They couldn't score Burnley, Brighton, Fulham, Chelsea etc.... All these matches were 1-0..... Are you telling me a fit inform Liverpool forward line can't score average of 2 goals in those matches?

With VVD, they concede one or 2 goals and still win the match. How come they concede one and still lost?

TheLequte:


Actually you’re right about that. VVD’s timing in that clip was wrong.

At the same time there are situations where your best bet is to keep the striker at arm’s length. You lunge, you get dribbled and you concede. You delay, other defenders mop the danger away.

And in this same situation, if VVD has kept Kane at arm’s length, he’d have prevented that goal because Kane, in trying to get rid of him or get a chance to shoot, would have to slow down and the other defenders would’ve dispossessed him.

The koko? Executing an idea the right way is very important.

I think VVD is still a very good defender, although I won’t say he’s the best ever.

PAOK have attempted to take Rahman on loan but Chelsea only want to sell the player because he is in the last year of his contract. Time to drum up interests and get rid of this guy once for all.

It appears Lyon are after Bakayoko. That's refreshing.

They weren't creating quality chances consistently during that run were they?
My previous post explains the balance between Liverpool having a fit VVD and how it influences their attacking structure

NinjaMetahuman:
Wrong.

Most games Liverpool lost last season after VVd left, they either got outplayed or have same goal attempt stat.
It's not like liverpool had 10 shot on goal and failed to score while opponent had just 1 and score.

Holding more possession doesn't mean they are attacking. It could just be defenders and midfielders passing at the back and middle.
Go and look at each game stats again.
Either they have same shot on goal as opponent or opponent had more.
Sometimes when you hold most of the ball, it looks like you are the one playing which is wrong. Sarriball should have thought a lot of people that.

Besides, liverpool didn't start playing teams that parked the bus last season.
They played teams and they cracked a lot of teams that parked the bus when the two back wingers were firing.

Ask yourself, why did Liverpool attack suddenly became toothless when then wing backs are not supplying the assists or dictate games?

Almost 3 seasons in a row that Liverpool had their back 3-4 intact, they won everything and attackers were churning out goals but one season the defenders had problem, suddenly the attack became toothless.

Is that coincidence or magic?

His goals and those raking long passes to Salah and Mane was also missed...

If Gomez and Matip were fit, they'd have fared better...

Lyon along with Napoli and Ac Milan, who would have thought, Bakayoko having suitors whereas Tolisso can't find one even at €10m

This absolutely does not shock me. The incident with the trio of Saka/ Rashy/ Sancho will further test the efforts of the UK in managing this situation as the season is about to start. The best part is that they are all in England now. I want to see how the narratives would go when one of those 3 players are involved with any incident. I will be watching closely!

Griffon:
It's matchday, so let's get rid of all these world-war and religious shalayes. We don't read the book of Revelation in here!

Here's my predicted line-up for tonight's game: Mendy; Azpilicueta, Christensen, Rudiger; Hudson-Odoi, Kante, Kovacic, Alonso; Werner, Havertz, Ziyech.

I deliberately omitted our EURO and Copa America finalists from that XI, albeit I hope to see them make the bench.

I think that he would start 1, jorginho or silva but I doubt that they all wouldn't start and if he is going to play havertz out of position again tonight, I wouldn't even bother to watch self, if tuchel is too foolish to realise that havertz is ineffective from the left then he deserves some dragging

NinjaMetahuman:
nope stat didn't prove otherwise.

Full season with VVd
Alex had more than 20 goals contributions
Robertson also pulled good numbers.

Season without VVd they both had 7-6 respectively
Big difference.

You refused to answer, why did attackers suddenly become blunt after VVd's departure? Why did it happen right after VVd had injury?

Anyone who didn't watch Liverpool games will keep on arguing...TAA was exposed last season because he was tasked with defending more than usual, he constantly found him 1 v 1 vs opposition wingers a stark contrast from what was obtainable 2 seasons ago where his constant forays forward meant opposition wingers had to do more defensively...

Having Philips, Kabak and all the other average or below average CBs meant TAA and Robertson had to check their forward forays as Liverpool became increasingly vulnerable at the back.

Correct. But Shearer also won it back to back to back (94-97).

Players with the highest goals for a single season are

Salah - 32 goals 2018/19
Shearer - 31 goals, 1995/96
Cristiano Ronaldo - 31 goals, 2007/08
Luis Suarez- 31 goals, 2013/14
Kevin Philips- 30 goals , 1999/00
Thierry Henry - 30 goals, 2003/04
Robin Van Persie - 30 goals, 2011/12

Harry Kane’s highest ever is 29 goals. 2016/17.

And can we say no one comes close to Kane in the last decade?
