LMFAO.....Some of you have pH.d in spreading negativity upon negativity and knee jerk reaction with no substance to others. Nothing you won't whine about like bitches. If you asked to pin point some faults about the glazers/Ed you won't come up with anything tangible.

footiemaniac:
Bruno Fernandes deal is done and dusted, he will be a Manchester player tomorrow or next. We should try and sign a proper #9(striker) before deadline day if we are to compete for top 4 or win Europa.

Ibime:
Good analysis Prof.

We will now highlight the key tenets that underpin both groups.

For example, if you score 70% and above in the following test, you qualify for membership of ApariSports. Readers should feel free to mark themselves.

If you agree that:

Pep is a God -20%
VVD is a fraud - 20%
Hazard is a shakushaku master - 20%
EPL is a weak league - 10%
Cuntay is a local fraud - 5%
Beasting finals is the criteria to differentiate players - 5%
Anything Airmark says is wrong - 5%
Net-spend is irrelevant, only total spend counts - 5%
Other interchangeabe criteria as Raumdeuter deems fit eg Belotti, Kychokewack, Boateng, KDB, David Luiz etc - 10%


Alternatively you can score yourself for membership of Citadel here. Anything above 70% qualifies you for membership:

Pep is a fraud - 20%
Hazard is a God - 20%
EPL is the best league - 10%
VVD is a God - 10%
Boateng is a calamity - 10%
Iniestas is a eunuch - 10%
KDB should not be mentioned with Hazard - 10%
Anything Raumdeuter says in wrong - 5%
Other interchangeabe criteria as Airmark deems fit - 5%

I score myself 20% on ApariSports criteria and 60% on Citadel. Which means that though I do not qualify for membership of Citadel, I lean more toward their views. How about you Prof?

Chrisus:
So, Barca are in talks for Bruno

Ravioli:
I am so paying attention. They're far from broke. They're just disorganized

raumdeuter:
Na to enter gofundme and raise money for transfers

Ravioli:
Broke ke??

Iffa hear

Oasis007:




Solskjær: "Alexis [Sánchez] will come back in the summer and will prove you all wrong."

Oasis007:



..... Even against Oluyole FC, OGS still starts his first XI. What happens to Gomez and Chong?! Well the latter makes the Bench.

Oasis007:
Solskjær: "In the time I have been here, we have spent a lot of resources on scouting, ­recruiting and researching players to make sure we are comfortable when we sign them."

Oasis007:
Solskjær: "The club won’t sign a player without me accepting it. It’s down to me to say yes or no when the club finds a target."

Oasis007:
Solskjær: "Some people do blame others. Some of us think we are better than others. For me it’s all about ­understanding the club — and I believe in the structure that’s been put in place here."

Jodera:
Can I ask you a question.
On paper, the team of Man u 2008/2009 vs the team of barca 2008/2009, at the start of the season, who would you have put your money on over and over again if they were to play that final 3 times?
Your sincere answer please

elampiro:
What about when a player disposed an opponent to score a goal? Or when a player recovers a ball to score a goal? Or when a player capitalized on deflection (off its initial target)to score a goal? Or when a player reads a poor back pass from a defender to the goalkeeper to score a goal?

Any in case, what I meant is that there chances created for tap in, there are chances created for a striker to do an extra labour before he can score. Mane and Salah will more liekly score from a chance that required an extra labour like beating a last man, running half of the field when through, shaking defence, etc

elampiro:
Salah and Mane have been closed to winning the Ballon D'or but where is any of our attackers?

Salah and Mane >>>> Rasfford and Martial. What I see these guys do, Mane, Salah, Sterling, is their ability to make the opposition defence get confused when they approach them zigzagly on the run. They know what to do where it matters most. Rashford is a very good dribbler on the run, but once in the tight box area he gets confused. Martial is weak far from the goal but a better dribbler near the opposition box with his close control. But none has what it takes to cause the big confusion with swift movement and close control in opposition box area

Missing big chances is not such an important stats compared to creating big chance. A player can miss a big chance he created for himself.

Jodera:
lol... Hope say I no blaspheme?

elampiro:
Look at when Messi, Neymar and Surez topping their chances created while together at Barca.

The three of them still came 1st, 2nd and 3rd in Assist that season.

Did they relax and waited for fullbacks and midfielders? Which one is attackers cannot be held liable for failure of fullbacks to create. Where did you learn your football?

elampiro:
I think you are confused. You believe more in your self judgement than what scientific proof shows you. Tell me which of our fullbacks take set piece?

First, in football full backs do not have a primary duty to create. In some teams, yes it works but some they are just full backs. Generally, the forward players are meant to be the primary creators. This was evident in the comprehensive list of top creators I posted here few days back which someone else analysed and it showed that a forward player is the top creator this season and far more forward players were in the list. The full back don not owe the forwards creativity. If they create, it is a bonus.Martial and Mata even lost Bissaka two chances the last match and Martial still lost golden chance created by Matic.

Jodera:
well, I won't say they are greater than united or Chelsea team I quoted. I said in terms of play, they might beat them, not because individually they're better than the squad of united or Chelsea, but because of the klopp factor.
Klopp have shown time and again that he's really a great coach. Even tho you'll say they've not won any domestic league, we all know this season is wrapped up already. Its just a matter of when not if.

Also like I said, I believe(my opinion tho) because of klopp and the style of play he employs, they'll marginally beat man u of 2007/2008. But you see those 2004/2005 of Chelsea, they'll drag it.

elampiro:
You might be right here. Our set pieces are weak. But last season we scored 12 from set pieces as against 4 so far this season. Our set piece takers-Mata and Young have all been around, but what has changed is the people attacking the set pieces.


But he has 3 goals



Dijk is the second highest EPL player with goals from heading -4

Again, we are talking about goals from set piece first where Arnold has created bulk of his Assists.



Liverpool has 12 goals from set pieces while we have 4. All these theory you are writing don't hold ground when it is already established that most of Arnold's creativity is from set piece.



Dilk has scored 4 headers
Mane has scored 2 headers
Ferminho has scored 2 headers
Salah has scored 1 header
Origi has scored 1 header

This is not to talk of some other converted with leg.

elampiro:
Anold has 6 Assists from set plays and 2 from crossing. If he played in United, who would head in those balls where there is no Smalling, Lukaku or Fellaini?

If he were in United he would not be said to be creative because no Firminho, Origi, Dijk and co to nod into the net

nitrogen:
Of course Wolves and Bunley have better players.

CAPdan21:
I'm not comparing ferguson and pep even if both are a tad overrated..I'm questioning the suggestion that klopp who has a better head to head against pep will need 100tries to beat ferguson who got out coached by pep twice

popizaino:
Klopp will need 100tries to beat Ferguson once.They will so beat this Liverpool squad like craze.

Leyqute:
It’s only a matter of time before the money stops flowing if things don’t change.
