Griffon:
This Sébastien Haller na better finisher, what actually went wrong at West Ham?

Jodera:
Potter's team deals with wastefulness from their front men instead of actually the risky tactics that left them exposed. That team and Leeds are the 2 midteams I followed and Brighton no dey Leeds and Norwich whatsapp group that leaves back exposed. I think I read a stats report somewhere that if teams actually took their scoring chances As of last season, Brighton would have finished 5th.

Of all the mid table managers, after bielsa I doff hat for Potter. Tho I'll try and see how this season is sha

iamoyindamola:

Potter is looking like hard nut to crack, he can lose to big teams but not by cricket scores I hope he won't fade off like Eddie howe

timbros:




Dreaming is allowed.

So Anayo Iwuala don japa enter Tunisia. 45k per week no be here.

I hope Rhor will start to value him now.

Jodera:
air.mark insisting van dijk absence is the cause of Liverpool loss of form last season is understandable due to the agenda he wants to win to shove the L down people's throat.

But pure Liverpool fans buying that crap??.... Haba!!

BlueMann:


Damn you're right, I just remembered their 3-2 loss against Man U last season when they hit the woodwork like five times or so

They're in the same group chat with Norwich and Leeds in the sense that they can play attractive football, but it doesn't really mirror their position on the table. But you're right, Potter's case is different.

No wonder he's always placed high on polls when fans are asked to vote for top English managers.

Philip4564:
I don't even understand the guy balled well at Frankfurt before joining west ham

Amoto94:

I don't really know maybe his teammates didn't understand his game and preferred Antonio to him.

iamoyindamola:

West ham get CF issues from time, them no they use 9 as CF

Roland17:


West Ham's system does not fit his style.

CAPdan21:

Van dijk was not the only reason Liverpool faltered but he was the major one...without Can dijk and the rest defenders they'll probably have finished second comfortably but not enough to win the league...His absence was huge not only due to his importance in the buildup but also the fact that you could pair him with any defender with negligible difference...in summary Liverpool could have done without Van dijk but his absence coupled with Gomez and matip crippled liverpool

Griffon:


The turbo man deserves the move. He is one of the few bright stars in a league that has an alarming dearth of talents. I'm not just surprised Esperance came calling. And yes, 45k per week is just massive, that's an upgrade on the change he was pocketing home in Enyimba.

Is the second paragraph fabricated? I didn't see it on the official Chelsea website article.

BlueAngel444:


Yet why didn't Klopp buy any CBs in January. He had the opportunity to save Liverpool's season and get in a CB of quality.

timbros:


Herd mentality is real bro.

That's the narrative and majority just flow with the narrative.

Amoto94:

Also our passes need to the attackers need to be quicker and more accurate our players seem to dwell on the ball for far too long and sometimes choose the wrong decision when they decide to pass the ball this often leads to wasted opportunities.

OJURONGBE1:


Now, you sounded like an amateur, yourself.
So, just because Neymar withdrew because he ruptured an ankle ligament & had rape allegation levelled at him gives credence to the gibberish you posted. Do you know how many copa American games he has featured?
I have been watching Copa America since Brazil had the likes of Ronaldinho, Kaka, Lucio & Adriano, Argentina had the likes of Tevez, Zanetti and Peru had the once inform Jefferson Farfarn.
It is a competition they put their best players out for.

afrodoc2:


But you are only cementing the point that Copa has never really been highly valued.

Brazil repeatedly sent inferior teams to Copa. Pele’s time that he went to 4 World Cups he went to only 1 Copa.

As recently as the 2000s Brazil sent an inferior team that I believe was captained by Fenerbahce Alex, a man that was struggling to make the 1st choice Brazil team.

There was a time Brazil sent a team from a Brazilian state to represent them. It is like Nigeria sending a team from Taraba state to AFCON.

airmark:


So you want to stick to UCL but when we talk about Fraudiola you will run to his league wins.

Psg with Silva - UCL final

Psg without Silva - No UCL final.

Shameless Apari.

airmark:


Where did i tell you they didn't win any match?

In that December 2020 that they topped the table, Liverpool won just 3 out of 6 matches while they drew against Newcastle and relegated teams - Fulham and West brom. That was a sharp contrast to what happened in December 2019 with VVD, they won all their matches in that month.

So the idea of Liverpool topping in December was not down to their impressive performances in that month. Swallow your L and rest.

Jodera:
He loaned in kabak who paired with Philips. After 1 or 2 shaky starts, the back was very Okay once more and we could see how Liverpool moved from a certain 6th to finish the season strongly

popizaino:



Mechionu dia!

PSG with Thiago Silva - league title and UCL finals
PSG without Thiago Silva - ??

Chelsea without Thiago Silva - R16 UCL exit
Chelsea with Thiago Silva - UCL winners

Hype without substance or luck can only get you one or two nominations like jorginho but not numerous accolades like that of Thiago Silva. Maldini and Nesta were all part of the back line that conceded four goals to deportivo la coruna,and they were also guilty of not been able to defend a 3goals lead in the biggest game of their careers but you don't see any correct football analyst using those outliers to numb on their glorious football careers,so stop clutching on the 6goals conceded to a MSN Barcelona as any reason to talk down on Thiago Silva fantastic career. The Terry you love to talk ill about, i doubt has ever conceded 6goals in a single game before and was also part of the back four that only conceded 15goals in an entire season but yet also in your book of not so good defenders so dont use any 6goals here to disparage Thiago Silva.

raumdeuter:


Did Liverpool win all their matches between Sep 2020 and Oct 2020 when VVD was playing? Abi no be that time dem chop 7 from Aston Villa

airmark:


Why did you tamper with my moniker so that i wouldn't get the mention, if you don't have 'skeleton' in your post?

Jodera:
This is exactly my point and Tim.bros point. While Van dijk is very very essential to their system, but last season faltering was not solely due to van dijk injury

airmark:


They only lost a match they brought an Ekuke keeper to man the post. You don't expect VVD to defend centrally and also wear gloves at the same time.

Your whoscored rated him and Gomez the poorest in the defence and VVD, the best performer. So, die that useless move and rest.

ShadowWalker00:
Adama Traore is so good damn.
If only he could add finishing man would be a world beater.

Everytime he goes one v one against Taganga he skins him.

airmark:


You can only lie to yourself as we all saw how Leicester cracked to allow them in.

Vvd is the only regular player that never lost a league match at Anfield. Even Alisson confirmed that he was the best defender in the team after winning the league. Rest.
