Ellexy:
You guys have been dodging this question.... What does this Gakpo bring to the table which we don't have in abundance? What exactly?

Karleb:
You don't need Gakpo?

Rashford and Martial have been in this club for how many years? How many goals do they guarantee per year. How many points have they won? How many important games have they shown their brilliancies and won compared to their age mates in other leagues?

The Martial + Rashford ship has sailed. Man Utd no be their papa house.

Ellexy:
Yes we don't need Gakpo. Have you actually watched him? He's worse than Rashford not even better than Elanga , there's nothing he has in skillset that we don't already have in abundance, he plays on the left, a position we have players in excess.

I'm struggling to see where he'll even play on the first team or improve the team. Maybe for depth purposes but I'll rather give those minutes to Garnacho or if Ronaldo leaves he can be deputising for Martial as a striker it in that scenario I even prefer Depay to him.

He'll be a waste of money simple.

BlueMann:
Essien's is my favorite. That outside of the boot technique...oh Lord

PL goal of the month nominees for December 2006

You won't see another month with so much stunners

https://twitter.com/iRSport_/status/1562515091056201728?s=20&t=2gqOTunT3_ib768-pGjkAQ[/quote]Paul Scholes's goal is the best.

Just checked, he won the award.

Illimitable:
Expert17, come outside.

Jodera:
What he did wasn't wrong in at all but like Patrick says, he should thank his lucky star that it was a calm Salah that approached him. If na rugged player and a fiasco ensue, he'll be carded for that fiasco he was involved in and who started it or who was right or wrong won't be considered. So it's a big risk he took seeing that he was on Yellow ard.

patrickmuf:
If Salah had been more forceful, maybe they'd have ended up pulling themselves which would have seen both get carded...This isn't about Bruno, I have seen teams who are chasing a goal rush a goal keeper for picking up the ball after pulling one back and the goalie is always punished if a fiasco results from his reluctance to release the ball...

patrickmuf:
That was a stupid move, he was lucky it was Salah and not another players who would have been more aggressive thus creating a scene that could have warranted the ref to act...

He was on a yellow so, it was not necessary...

JayromWrites:
I think United needed that breather

Liverpool were on the ascendancy even before the goal.

Yeah it was cynical and risky but not worth dragging really

timay1:
The guy just lost motivation after receiving that big contract at PSG.

afrodoc2:
He was already on a yellow card. A ref with brain touch could have given him a 2nd yellow card.

In every thing in life one must apply wisdom. Time that the ref can easily add back on the clock is not worth a 2nd yellow card.

raumdeuter:
For EPL records
This is Crouch

Any reason Michael Owen and Aguero didnt make it despite scoring more EPL goals overall than Crouch

main24:
Lol, go and re-watch the video, he was explaining to VVD (if at all we want to guess what they were talking about).
That scene is not a scene of someone being questioned BlaqFaze.

Illimitable:
So he’s at fault for doing nothing

If he did something and the goal was conceded then his effort would have made Michael Oliver disallow the goal?

Illimitable:
In other words, nothing VVD could have done in that situation to prevent a goal - you just made my point.

If he stood his ground - goal
If he charges at Sancho - goal
If he charges at Bruno - goal

But he’s at fault?

Ihebu4chelsea:
Dayo Relax... This Liverpool victory dhe decieve people. They will Later crawl back ..... Watch how the Midget will fare against Aribo on Saturday!!

raumdeuter:
The 3rd goal vs Brighton. The header scored how did Lisandro fare

Imagine na Firmino wey no sabi how to score we dey compare with

Illimitable:
We would have conceded at least 4 goals yesterday had Maguire started.

Illimitable:
Sancho would have probably dribbled VVD too plus Sancho had Bruno as another option.


BTW, Where’s Raumdeuter? I am hearing Lisandro the midget hasn’t lost an aerial battle in the box in the PL this season.

Illimitable:
Milner is an idiöt.

There was no reason to commit that much to a shot. Alisson would have saved from there.

He should have trusted his goalie. If Milner stood his ground, Sancho would have been in trouble but his slide gave Sancho all the space in the world to cause further damage.

Illimitable:
Sancho that had enough intelligence to do a chop in that situation? He’s a deceitful snake. That chop murdered Liverpool and VVD couldn’t have seen Alisson had been murdered behind him.

VVD was trusting his keeper to be at alert. All VVD could do was hold his ground and put himself between the ball and the goal. Bruno was ONside and if he had closed down Sancho, Sancho would pass to Bruno and the situation would have been turned to “why did VVD vacate his position?”

And as you can see, VVD wasn’t far off from blocking the shot. It was the right decision to hold his ground, Pundits just look for an individual to blame in situations like this when it was the entire defensive system at fault.

Illimitable:
Alisson had been murdered by the dummy. Look at Alisson still on the floor at the time Sancho had brought the ball back to his left foot.

Illimitable:
If he stayed at the blue mark, Sancho is good enough to put the shot between the space between VVD & Alisson.

Their entire defensive structure collapsed when Trent allowed Elanga to make that cross. Anything else is just passing the blame.

There’s nothing VVD could have done to prevent that goal unless Sancho skied the shot over the bar by being a useless player.

Illimitable:
Van Dijk is being unfairly criticized.

The entire Liverpool structure had fallen apart when Trent allowed Elanga to run behind and put the cross.

VVD was literally caught between standing his ground to block the shot or charging towards Sancho.

He didn’t know Alisson had dived behind him and if he had charged at Sancho, Sancho would have passed to Bruno to tap into the empty net.

BoomBucks:
It's called football for a reason; the reason is that it's played on the ground not in the air. Though this can be done in the air too when you meet teams who play negative football Iike Burnley and Stoke city.

Franco Baresi is considered by many as the greatest defender of all time. At just 5ft9, this man played in the era where teams played with tall traditional #9 and was excellent.

Height is great no doubt but it's not the hallmark for a defender. If it's by height then players like Hangeland, Matersacker, Dan Burn, Kris Ajer, Naldo, Jannik Vastergaard, Adam Casey, Yerry Mina, Metzelder would've been world beaters.

I mean the only defender to win world best was just 5ft9 (Canavaro). Even Mascherano at 5ft9 was on the pitch when Barca won their 4th and 5th UCL.

Puyol, Alaba, Canavaro, Baresi, Beckenbauer all under 5ft11 but top class.

Put the "tall" Maguire in Martinez position against Liverpool yesterday and watch chaos at its very best.

Like I said, height is always going to be an advantage but never the end, just a means to an end.

Jodera:
A tall attacker who doesn't know how to jump shey?

Like I said, let's see when you guys are expected to attack and he's been targeted. I won't use ystdy game to judge because you guys on his height issues
