I am talking of Fred and McTominay. I ave you some stats weeks back. McTominay had better attacking stats than Liverpool CMs

If we pull out stats, Iniesta will look like a normal player compared to other less fancied midfielders of his time. Creativity goes well beyond supplying the final pass.

elampiro:
I still stand by my words that our midfield is more creative. I did not say their midfield was subpar. I still also stand that Henderson absence is not the reason they lost. Their attack is the most creative. Even Rooney, Ronaldo and Tevez always lost to one small team every season

With Pogba and Fernandez starting, yes...When we had that argument, Fernandez wasn't our player and Pogba as everything indicates is on his way out bar a last minute change of mind.

Henderson covers for Arnold who doesn't have the pace to track back in record time like Robertson does when he bombs forward.

When Liverpool played Watford at Anfield, only poor finishing stopped Watford from at least getting a point. Norwich too should have at least gotten a point if not for poor finishing...

I think Liverpool players are tired. Ghen ghen pressing takes its toll on the players in the long run. I hope Liverpool don't suffer burnout at this stage because I really want them to eliminate Atletico and win the league. I hope their resurgence will pressure our board to get serious with the football side of things.

Him sabi, but him no too sabi

eph12:
No goal or assist from the full backs, see the way elampiro best front three are struggling against the bottom team.

Him no sabi ball...

elampiro:
I knew since yesterday that the bolded part will be the next excuse even though you guys claimed last week that it is the full backs that are the most important.

For your information, Henderson did not play in their last win over West Ham. He has missed starting 6 league matches this season. Only Dijk has played all 28 matches from start to finish. Anold and Robertson are next with 27 matches.

Was it not you who claimed their midfield was subpar and that their attackers were their main creative force? Do you even remember the things you say to start with?

elampiro:
Media hyped Arnold or you guys here. I have not seen media praise him even 20% as much as the praise he gets here which are championed by Patrickmuf and eph.

You're just impossible...I have always maintained that TAA is poor defensively, Henderson does a lot of work to cover him. It's no surprise that Liverpool suffered in the absence of Henderson. In attack, TAA is just about the best RB, he is young though and will definitely improve the defensive aspect of his game.

Since you're good at digging old post, please go back in time to confirm what I wrote up there.

afrodoc2:
Hustle o! hustle o!
Hustle make 20k no be like gold for your eyes. Lol

Guys should quit entering into bets that are way beyond their means.

larride:
During the half time break of Chelsea v Bayern, our guy boldly says he’s ready to stake $200 on Chelsea to win/draw.

Postdigger came forward with 20k Naira on the bet and they both agreed terms. Chelsea win/draw and weedtaker gets 20k and if Bayern wins postdigger gets 20k Naira.

Weedtaker disappeared when Bayern started scoring. It’s a shameful act.

Na wa o! Let's give him time sha maybe he is out hustling...

larride:
weedtaker fûvked up sha.

Wait, what exactly happened?

Larride, I told you we can clinch that 3rd spot. Leicester City peaked way too early, now they're on a downward spiral. If we get good result against Everton and Manchester City, we stand a very good chance.

NextD18:
Simple! Na Robertson you dey watch pass, so it'll be difficult to know how good and consistent Alaba, Sandro and Alba are.

See talk, when last did Alaba play LB? Sandro? He is good but can't match Robertson contributions in attack and defense.

Alba is the worst of the lot, he is not in too form.

Skimpledawg:
Hahahaha.

Its his signature na

Lol...

Spillo1, please stop using that acronym, LMFAO in your response to people. Be respectful.

spillo1:
LMFAO....We have not watched enough of Bruno to make a definite statement about his true ability. Let's give him time in the team then we can say for sure he is white or he is black.
Does pogba want to leave? Probably - but the closest he’s come to “disrespecting” the club was in the summer when he said he might want a new challenge.That is a very small thing in the grand scheme. Mino is his problem, I agree. But Mino isn't Pogba. We as fans need to separate the two.

Just say you have not seen enough of him. I followed him throughout last season as his stats attracted my attention. He is a risk taker that's why I was not surprised that one idiotic scout said he losses the ball often.

Now back to your point, Mino isn't Pogba but he represents Pogba and his position can be easily interpreted as that of Paul, it's not rocket science...

Pogba is one of my favorite players, I remain a big fan of his but he needs to let his football do the talking...

If developed nations like USA, Britain and the likes couldn't stop the Covid-19 virus from entering their country, is it Nigeria that'll be successful in curbing the spread?

Our politicians are so dumb, they don't know when to politic.

spillo1:
LMFAO....Some jokes really write themselves. Someone. said Bruno that we just signed is better than Pogba and you are co signing it. That's very dumb bro.

Pogba is more technically gifted than Bruno but Bruno is the more effective player. Bruno uses his technical abilities to good effect whilst Pogba doesn't make the most of his.

I reckon Pogba is the better passers but rather than pass, he'll choose to dribble past the opponent. If Pogba simplifies his game, I don't think there's any midfielder out there that will match him but then, that's a big ask.

Talking about disrespect, it's obvious, his agent goes about trashing Ole, who does that? If Pogba was committed to our course, he'd have fired his agent since.

olabode89:
Bruno is all about quick plays... no time for Zanku and Shakushaku.

If we can get Van De Beek and Grealish to replace Pogba and also provide more competition and option it will set our midfield up for at least 5 years.

Van De Beek is another no nonsense midfielder, he is very similar to De Bruyne though KDB is a better passer of the ball.

I don't want Grealish here. He drifts too wide left for a supposed CAM.

How are we playing?

We are sitting on a keg of gunpowder...This is just shocking.

Leyqute:
Or, if you approach it at another perspective, they both get an L. And L no fit cancel L.

Hehehe

raumdeuter:
Can we start counting from Hazards disaster class

If City had lost, you'd have been the first person to remind us that all 3 EPL teams lost just as Airmark would have tried to rub it in your face that Pep lost another knockout game without Messi. Nobody get L for this one.

patrickmuf:
If we do a player for player comparison, you'd notice that Mourinho has the better team compared to LVG and yet the players at his disposal have so far underperformed prior to when they met Mou.
Mourinho has left the likes of Pogba, Sanchez, Martial, Rashford etc worse than they were before him, he has only managed to improve Lingard and Lukaku (his overall game), I deliberately refused to add Young cos under LVG, he was flourishing as a LW.
Now, compared to LVG who I think improved our players in his brief spell as manager, he has his lapses but he certainly isn't as bad ascyou might think...
In all, LVG and Mourinho have seriously underperformed, our style of player is drab, we play like a collection of total strangers hurriedly assembled.

Elamps how is this an endorsement of Lingard? I only noted that he had improved thanks to Mou.

Tell us the 3 seasons wherein Lingard was the most consistent forward for Manchester United.

patrickmuf:
That Lingard is one of the best players in the team tells a lot about how bad we have become...

Elampiro, stop being disingenuous, I made this post in reference to the position held by ChristineC that Lingard was one of the best player in our team at that point. Those who can clearly comprehend what I meant will tell you that it's not an endorsement of Lingard rather, a honest assessment of how low we have sunk to have the name an average player like Lingard pop up in a discussion for the best player in the team.

Read to understand.

LaMujer:
..........


it's not easy at all

No player gets as much attention as Messi, if it was any other player, he'd struggle to score 15 goals a season. This is why I think Messi is the best...

You that I exposed your lies and hypocrisy. You are here looking for an escape route.

Ok

elampiro:
You are shameless. I stand by my words. But I only used your won words to confirm one of those years I mentioned. That is enough for the argument

Lol See amalanomics...Next time, before you confidently tell a lie, make sure to check.

rationalmind:
On the basis of what I watched yesterday, I don't see any team stopping Bayern from winning the Champions league.

The movement and coordination of those forward players is something I've never seen all season, not even from Liverpool. It will be difficult stopping them.

We should concentrate our efforts on the league to ensure champions league qualification.

It will gladen my heart to scummies troll us in the Champions league while they travel long distances to play in the Europa

Because they were up against a useless Chelsea team. Liverpool are still in the UCL, relax...

elampiro:
You used your fingers to type he was the best in our best season since Ferguson.

Case close.

You are shameless, you said he was our most consistent forward player for 3 years, I asked you a simple question to list the period in question but no, you rather jump from pillar to post.

elampiro:

3 seasons, mention or forever remain silent...

elampiro:
Like we have forgotten Lingard was a key player for us.

You're just running around circles, Lingard has been good only in patches, pray tell, what season was he our most consistent player, let alone three? You want to dig? I'll give you an assignment...

elampiro:
Lingard and Herrera were our most consistent players. I have no time to argue or go into needless details. At some point, Lingard was benching Martial.

You said Lingard was out most consistent forward for 3 years, when abeg?

Leave Herrera out of the discussion.

elampiro:
Lingard was our most consistent forward player until December 2018. He was the first to be listed by us here while drawing our line up. The fact the he lost form doesn't mean he was not good before. This guy was in a first team player for a world cup semi final team and he was not just a passenger in the team.

You said he was our most consistent forward for 3 years, kindly mention the years you are referring to so I can check it up because I am sure Lingard has only shoned in patches.
