Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - The Slotification of Liverpool is nearly complete

[ThrobbingHood]

They've been playing good breh. Young team showing hunger.. Pressing.. Better play in the final third. Also good momentum right now. I don't think they've lost for a while

Not a good time to go to the Emirates

yea...I'm worried about that match

Stop. You know you guys are coming into this game as the favorites.

I may be a Gooner through and through but I’m not deluded. On paper, Liverpool should be the underdogs: playing away from home, playing in Europe and the FA Cup.

But, I’ve seen us crumble when it comes to the big tests. We’re a de facto top 4 team that struggles against teams above us. That’s apparently progress when it’s been like that since Van Persie left the club.

I can’t remember game since his departure where I’ve felt confident beating a top 4/6 club. I’m hoping for a good game but with City drawing, there’s an added incentive for Liverpool to go all out.

Homie thinks he can play tiki taka in timbs

Big up to Benz on another record. Seeing him break Henry’s record and Ronaldo breaking the all time FIFA recognized goal tally really got me thinking about how far sports science has come in prolonging the careers of players. Before at 28/29 players would be on their last big contract.

Wrong. 28/29 was considered prime/peak not last contract. Players were getting good contracts in their 30's back in the day. Either for preference of experience or branding.

Now you have guys like Lewa, Benz, Modric, CR7 and even Zlatan performing at high levels well into their mid-30s.

It's called being a professional and living the life of an athlete. Sports science can only do so much. Can take the horse to water cannot make it drink tho.

Playing in Spain helps. Not playing internationals for 5 years helps. Playing in a 1 team league and less fixtures helps.


Or they are all cheating b*stards juiced to the gills.

I can see why Barca signed him tho. His ability to drop back and cover for the FB is exactly what you need for Xaviball.

But your first thought is about him playing in Timbs

Kessie been OK this season. He was way better last season.

 

[Trajan]

Seeing Pep rattled >>>>

And this was when City won in the last minute. He was mad they sat back and didn’t attack more.

How can you be both a sore winner and loser? He’s insufferable.

Next he’ll say: “They didn’t offer me a drink when I walked in. Where were the rose petals outside the locker rooms? The away seats were too uncomfortable.” This clown.
