that goal was beautiful
True
Trent isnt as defensively sound as, say, Cancelo or Walker etc
but its extremely stupid and reactionary to keep parroting the same bullshit over and over again when he performs that well at that position
(imo) he is the best RB overall
i've watched every game the team has played since diaz signed
Carvajal and marcelo used to get a lot for not being "good at defence"
Ok then let's see how it turns out
i mean we don't have to because hes not going into midfield
lmao
like i dont get what you don't understand
Carvajal was definitely good
carvajal is an amazing defender and marcelo was able to run back if he was out of position
everyone just wants to hurl shit at trent because he gets the label of being the worlds best/most talented RB
so his game gets dissected more than anyone elses
we're out of form like hell right now and Trent isn't an exception

sweep and pass
Ousmane Dembele with absolutely insane football to assist Lewandowski for his second goal
315
diving header is good too
Wow so you're saying your logic is as flawed as saying Messi is poor? or
whats the point in saying that
i dont get it
I am saying
Tbh if you're regarded as one of the best in the world in your position it's obvious people will also look at your weaknesses
Yes
if you are the best at something
I mean I agree that objectively his defense is his weakness but that doesn't mean hes bad at defense lol
I'm not suprised Porto and Atleti is 0-0
Atleti
At what I said

I said
he's not as bad as people say he is but i still don't thrust him at the back
most predictable result
"I don't think there's one person in the world who thinks he's GOOD at defence"
yeah
Ok
if we get 4 before 60'
"nobody thinks hes a good defender" "nobody thinks hes good at defence"
as you should know
dembouz or ansu goal for the cherry ontop
dembouz shot before the assist to lewa
i hope you know that
when he inverted in
Defending
was also a good shot
Playmaking
in previous years (or even last week)
oh wow theres another factor
he flies it to the moon
must've missed that in your original statement
I mean if you take that into account then would like
A guy who's
Average at defence
But amazing at everything else
Be a good DEFENDER?
contextually dependent but possibly yes
Gomez off matip in
I mean sure if you want to say that
Like
It's obviously opinion based
Trent doesn't have to be as good of a defender when he has VVD in his backline
he's a good player but he's not a good defender. a good defender stops goals
Is opinion based
now
if trent was lining up with Maguire, like in England
then i'd be more critical of him
pique playing lol
so then maybe it makes sense that a player who's most natural talent is pushing forward from the back and playmaking
gets to be more forward
4-0
and not worry about his defensive game as much, when he has that backline
vvd is there to make up for all trent's problems
whoa
no vvd is there because hes a good player
pique playing

4-0 damn
kounde rb
yuh got the assist
most likely tbh
this is the game he should get 90
ansu ah
did i say he's bad?
i didnt say you did
but saying that hes there "to make up for trents issues" is false
hes there because hes good
simple
well
matip already did more than gomez
oh 4-0
4-1
my stream is behind
Watching on TV
This game will end 6-3 lol
at least it was Lucho
i meant that vvd needs to be there to make up for his mistakes
yeah i read that as "his purpose in the team is to make up for trent being average defensively" rather than "when trent makes a mistake, virgil is there"
so thats on me, mb
don't worry
i dont wanna go to class smh my head
who scored for pool
🇨🇴
viva colombia
Diaz almost scored another one
Tbf to ali not much he could've done about any of the goals today
and he saved a pen
god matip
is so much better than fucking gomez
rvtbynui
one more thing
evidently
Ljinders, the AC to Klopp, has had Salah play wider and more of a "playmaker"
for whatever reason
to answer your query about him
why, idk, but its been that way ever since Mane played CF after AFCON
which is why so many goals came from him post AFCON
is that the guy that looks like klopp's twin?
personally
i dont see it
and ill be honest, i rate Ljinders
but having Mo play as a creator, ehhh
oh not him
i kinda get it from the stance of like
"we don't have any creativity forward/in mid"
but using your best offensive asset as a playmaker is kinda dumb
icl i have no idea lmao
he would get marked more if he was a midfielder tbh
yeah the team relies on defenders to do the creation so they use mo to do the playmaking
him being an rb Let's him play more outwide, more time and space to cross
^
not to mention that hes not all that physical and being in the mid requires more physicality even if you're a bit wider
playing salah in a more central role could allow him to play higher on the wing
Salah doesn't belong central
Nunez on
o what a header, too bad it was going to the keeper
^
Mane tried to play in that position
And diaz on the left wing
mane was good playing in the middle and alternating with diaz
Fun fact
yeah not his style but trent would thrive higher on the wing
Mane is the only LFC forward who's played across all 3 forward positions during his career
Trent already pushes pretty high bro
That's half the reason he's "poor defensively"
BC he goes out of position
Kvaradona assist
i was going to say it looked like maradona 😂
Can't even blame Milner bruh mans like 56 certain people don't get to that age
I blame klopp for starting Milner but at the same time
We have two mids who haven't trained in a bit so
From that angle I get it
he doesn't play much
he doesn't start
LEWA HATTY
the finish is too good
He's started half the games lol wym
as u should have
nice setup by torres too
This Napoli team looks promising
I'd give memphis some mins
I had some doubts when Koulibaly,Mertens and Insigne left
Eh
Kouli was the only player imo
The other ones were well past their prime and Napoli strengthened well w their signings
And uh, that's going awful for Chelsea
Oh my god
Who scored
DEMBOUZ BALLER
What a strike by Dembouz
ferran actually scored
I guess I'll take
WHAT A GOALLLLLLL
He is motm
yeah
ik lewa has 3 goals but the best player this game bar NONE is dembele
between lewa and dembouz
he has been sooooo good
I hope Dembele can stay healthy man
Is gonna fix this
Last time it took them
Like 8 hours
To add an assist
To Cancelo
who scored the 2nd for bayern
Own goal
Kounde is so good man
Yeah Liverpool just look tired
how did robbo get 4 points on dream team, he conceded 4
Arthur coming in
melo?
carmelo?
must be hell being an atleti fan
yes
Our time in the sun was nice
I think Liverpool's time as elite is, at least for this season, over
Definitely a restructuring season at least
I love Nunez but not sure how he really fits this team
Unless next year you decide to build around him and his strengths
Which you should do after paying that much for him
Yeah Ajay that's my thought rn
Which is why this is a total retooling season
Not only did we lose our most senior forward in terms of tenure at the club (maybe bobby?) But we're playing w a real 9 for the first time since
Wait for it
Mario Balotelli
Is losing Michael Edwards gonna finally start to hurt you
Wasn’t he the reason you got Salah instead of Brandt who Klopp wanted
i like their style, nowadays it's all about possession and high press, good to have teams that have different styles of play
who is that?
NFL regular season kicks off tomorrow 🥳
Made all our best signings
washington playoff chances? good or nah
oh i thought he was a player, sad that he left
To answer you @burnt cedar yes and no
Do I need to worry about Kroenke investing time and effort into the Rams
I need more funds here
He made the best of what little we had from FSGs coinpurse. Julian ward so far hasn't been awful...Carvalho looks amazing and I think Nunez WILL be good but he needs time
Extremely easy division to win, but considering who they have at QB? Gonna say not likely
That said he has massive boots to fill
gonna bag 2 against bayern
2, Ravens and Commanders
Next summer will be a big one
Need I’d say around 5 signings
Yep
No way
isn't their facility in VA tho I think
kroenke doesn't care much about the team
Yeah
Lmfao
who?
lots of cowboys fans in VA
Didn’t he build a stadium just recently for them
Backup rb,backup lb,backup lcb, new dm ,new lcm,new right winger
i meant arsenal
And didn’t they win the SuperBowl?
yeah
we play bayern next week fate
Yeah since then he’s been happy spending here
3 of them being midfield signings
Us and the Nuggets are the only teams of his who haven’t won something major in a while iirc
That's only for NFL though, Baltimore also has the Orioles so that's 3 pro sports teams in Maryland
nuggets winning the chip next season
probably won't tho
would be funny nonetheless
Murray is cool
you don't like richarlison?
Need my man Scottie Barnes to go crazy next year
you a raptors fan ajay?
Deserved loss for us. Napoli look very good
Yeah I have a few jerseys and watched them during the championship run while staying up late at night for uni
the leicester player?
Also liked demar derozan too
That’s Harvey
I c
Nah, he's an NBA player
oh more raptors fans
my bad
gpj better stop chucking so hard
oh i don't know a thing about basketball
Have a friend who lives in Toronto who I might visit later this year so might be able to go to my first game
Wtf
ah nice
Atleti scored
of course
griezzy?
Hermoso
i went to a game for the 2018-2019 season
lol they always do
Lmao
What was the Leno interview about anway 
last minute merchants
it works
regular season tickets aren't that cheap, but maybe higher ones aren't that bad
balk they gave atleti 9 mins et
or against mediocre teams
😂
I really like him but with his contract not sure if he’ll stay or get traded
he's good
he might. raptors going full jumbo sized
I think his work place provides him with tickets so that’s how he usually goes
Yeah not much of a fan of Flynn
I know a decent amount of people that despise him lol
banton hasn't done much either
Yeah he can’t shoot 
yea
kinda sucks not having firsts/late firsts for a bit
Most people don't
Absolutely dickhead of a player
hard to get talent and then whiffing by getting flynn
Decent shithouse I'll give him that
he reminds me of a colombian comedian so i can't hate him, he makes me laugh each time i see him on the pitch
Lol
Richarlison looks like someone melted his face
like a melted ice cream statue
ugly mf
why are ATM games always such dramas after the 90th min?
Porto goal
LOL
1-1
good
because they wear out the opponents and then go forward
Atleti park the bus hms is crumbling
Wgo scored
Yeah wasn’t Desmond Bane the pick after him
its been crumbling for seasons now tbf art
Need more porto boys next summer
Portuguese league is heating up for transfers
Who else do they have
we've never beaten bayern at Allianz arena
i was getting mad that atleti conceded a penalty but then i saw it was a colombian who took it
my expectations are a draw
buy uribe
tbh I wouldn't be surprised if bayern beat us
Would foam from my mouth if we got both Vieira and Vitinha
vitinha from PSG?
good box to box and good in the air
no way they let him go
Yes
hes been insane for them
Before he joined PSG there were some rumours about him
i cant believe Everton made money on Gueye and got him back on a free lmao
speaking of psg
such a bizarre team
Best they’ve ever been right now
unironically, yes
Also got some pollution activist coming for them too
interesting
Yeah we will next year if we somehow miss out on Europe
Surprised this time we didn’t
Because they took a plane for a 15 minute journey
Arsenal did that once and Norwich beat us 2-1
GRIEZMANN SCORES
Jet lag 
LMAOO
????????
the game still going?

THEY CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH THIS
What the hell
yeah, it is what it is
Than the whole main game
thats ATM innit
teams would just start loosing time without worries
not really
because atletico wait before attacking
is it 2-0
2-1
So stupid lmao
yeah crazy ending
Yeah lol
liverpool and chelsea can swap managers
how's that on klopp
The one positive of how this season is going is a decent chunk of fans who are just here for the wins and success can fuck off
fsg should've invested in the summer
^
p certain liverpool make a lot of revenue too given they do well in the prem, should be spending way more
gonna watch the highlights soon
Edu needs to cook in January
If I spend the entire january f5'ing with no transfers I'm going to implode
don't worry we'll sign an 11 year old wonderkid in january and sell every player over 25
January will be big for us as well
11 is a bit old innit
bruh as a barca fan
i am sick and tired of the market
im glad its closed
our team has no needs for once
esp if bellerin/alonso play up to level
We literally have a boy named Leo Messo in our academy
He's in U10's
Do we also have a cristian rinaldi?
No idea
We should
Per is fucking huge
bro
Big fucking german
He’s on his knees in the photo
💀
Are the new centre backs tall?
yes
bro this team we were playing plezen
had a 6'7 striker
bro is playing the wrong sport
He could be Peter crouch’s regen
Do you have a name?
Lmao
tomas chory is his name
@hasty basin I apologise if I was being an asshole
Me too
It is weird though I always watch the games where Liverpool dont play well
Oh my god he’s massive
As little offense as I can possibly imply
That wasn't because we played well per se
Bournemouth were just that out of their depth
Which TBF I feel, buy and large, is the case for our draws and losses this season
The other team wasn't genius or fantastic per se, we're just that poor atm
Napoli is probably the only team we played where I feel it's a fully deserved dropping of points
I wonder how Arthur will play
Napoli is pretty strong rn heah
arthur played?
Yeah
did he do well?
Maybe Klopp has some plans for him
it might get better when thiago returns, but yeah idk about the attack. Salah in a slump atm?
No disrespect but I don’t like this, if they won the game they deserve it. Football isn’t about ifs, winning is what matters
I mean that's fine you're free not to like it
nah bruh
At the end of the day you're right, a team wins because they're better
Of course they do
insigne got easily replaced
Yessir
napoli sold kouli and insigne yet look better
Because the game has a lot more fouls than any other team in Europe
Mm
and a lot more rolling on the ground too
But a team being very poor can contribute to a win more than another team playing "well"
yea happens all the time
Like city against atletico last year?
if i recall
What was that 1 game
city shithoused that game iirc
that happens a lot croco
0-1
Either way this is my message for Liverpool's season
Yeah
Foden was on the ground the whole game
and lost
Lmao
I don’t blame him, he did what he had to do. It’s part of the game
Decent UCL run, top 4, no trophies. Major restructuring/retooling season, well look BETTER when we're all healthy but we won't be the Liverpool of the past few years
ATM doing it at home
Thank you for your time
True
It works which is all I care about
I'm watching the highlights of Inter's game and Onana had a great game
i love so much of the ATM players and they have the talent
Last years ucl final was probably the nail in the coffin for the squad, could've ended in glory
3 ucl finals is impressive nonetheless
Yeah
They’re solid at the back, that’s their main strength appart from a few offensive players that are waiting to go all out when Diego tells them
im well aware
ive seen a lot of ATM matches
but thats the problem, they dont need to against every opponent
I love their games, it feels a lot rougher than most games of football. Being a defensive minded player myself I like what they do. I get that it’s not for everyone but I like it
but it shouldnt feel rougher
Yeah, he plays for inter now
they have insane amount of talent
not enjoyable to watch but people have different taste I guess
and are the better team 90% of the time
ik simeone wants to play a certain way and thats fine
godin scared my soul
They don’t take risks, they buy player that fit the manager’s style and it works. Not everything has to be hard press and tiki taka. The game is made for many styles and strategies
in 2014-2016
I remember when they cooked madrid 4-0
That’s what I like though
brazy ass game
i feel like the two seasons ATM won la liga
were the seasons they were more "attacking"
though the suarez one had its own ET shitthousery
and all they have to show for it in the UCL is 2 final defeats
which is impressive in of itself for this generation
but u ask urself if they could have done more
True!
He doesn’t have the mindset of the team so yeah for the benefit of both he should be sold, be happy elsewhere and bring a more suited player
Rodriguez
He’s not fit anymore
simeone would have james injured
He doesn't need to be
Hasn’t been for a while
first training session
Atleti don't run
losing the ucl in the final minutes and on penalties is rough gotta say.
Atletico run a lot
rodrigo paul was a perfect get for ATM
idk why he hasnt worked out as well as i thought he would
becuz he is an engine for argentina
You need to be built different to survive in atletico
Going from atletico to any other team must feel like a walk in the park
wait
no way
that WAS witsel??
palying CBB??
lmaoooooo no way
WHAT HAS SIMEONE DONE
i thought it was just another fro boy they picked up
Not non stop but they do need to be on constant effort
simeone is an actual terrorist
always has been 
He’s a genius
Hate him all you want
porto wouldnt have even scored if not for a stupid handball
but hes still a terrorist
someone needs to be the villain I guess
which small portion of fans dont want their manager out
When you do bad most people do
pep might be the only safe one
He still managed to stay
theres xavi disbelievers rn
people were calling for klopps head today
like are u insane?
simeone is the highest paid manager itw
People spent 5 years saying wenger out
To end up with arteta
For the moment
feel they had worse than arteta
emery was done a bit hard but he was rubbish too
who else did they have
hes good in spain
He didn’t adapt to English
its becuz they made fun of his english
He seems like a nice guy, he just had big boots to fill and people went out of their way to make him feel bad
hes still a good coach
He was lucky he got sacked so late
and proved it last year
I would have got rid of him 3 months into his job
He didn’t seem to enjoy
I would have kept him over arteta
dont think ur a big fan of arteta too
After Wenger we should have got Tuchel
viera?
Not at all
viera?
tbf someone experienced is better
He’s better than Emery and he’s doing okay but I’m not his biggest fan
Also Wenger wanted ancelotti to replace him who I’d have loved
would u take tuchel rn
Vieira would be the right move if we want to move forward
over arteta
But they chose emery instead
Nah right now you can’t really justify arteta coming out
For Tuchel too
Oh it would have been so much better
yea
Im a fan of Galtier but it’s too late
I was looking at the Brazilian league and they have a manager who is Wenger on steroids when it comes to giving players freedom
His names Fernando Diniz
I don’t like the way the team is going regardless of results
I’d like to see how he does in Europe first
Neymar also is a big fan of him too so that’s a good co-sign
I know it’s unpopular but I don’t like the signings or the way we play
Biggest club in France
For a reason
Vieira
Looks likely he’d be Brazil’s coach after the World Cup https://twitter.com/neymarjr/status/1547115877958651905?s=46&t=V3Vdn9iTryPB8_kBqBVxJQ
Gosto muito do Diniz como treinador, uma pena que no Br não dão tempo suficiente.

But if we could steal him I’d be over the moon
Is he flamengo’s manager?
Yeah
Oh I love the way they play
Yeah I watched a few games and enjoyed it
Can we swap deal the two squads? Send arteta and his kids to Brazil
Fluminense sorry
Mixed them up
Was thinking of flamengo because of how stacked they are
Not sure which one is which
i miss auba now
kessie scoring on his european debut for barca was nice doe
was interesting to see him as the most attacking player in a midfield of fdj, kessie, pedri
Kvara is so good
Oh I was thinking of that one
Yess

Don’t worry you’ll bounce back, just need a #9 in January and you’ll be good to go
Judge hit #55, he's on fire lol
I haven't watched them at all so it's inappropriate for me to say but idek what to say
This reminds me of this
James Milner and Lee Clark came on as subs for Newcastle in a 2-0 PL defeat at Bolton on 24th August 2005.
Today, just three days over 17 years later, James Milner and Bobby Clark (Lee’s son) came on as subs for Liverpool in a 9-0 PL win against Bournemouth #NUFC #LFC
17878
1834
Kouli isn't good so far, Mendy is a shadow, there's no attacking presence, midfield is a mess
And your worst player
Has been mason mount
Mason Mount always gets glanced over for some reason
Please stop making excuses for him based on his utility. He cost us a penalty 5 minutes in and got a yellow card and hasn't been good in a single game hes played this season
I don't even hate Milner, I mean that, you can ask @robust grotto
But he is not good, his time as a player at the club needs to be drastically reduced he's just not up to snuff anymore
Because if he keeps going as he is he's absolutely going to tarnish his reputation as an LFC player because he's being detrimental to our performances
Which, in fairness to him, is due to a lack of fit senior midfielders
But it's so blatantly obvious
Does Milner want to play?
To be fair I think all players want to play
I don't even care about our squad's shite performance, happens honestly, I care about the constant BS accountability spiel that they've leveed out towards our last 15 coaches
Yeah dude
tuchel's firing was the final straw almost
if I had my way
Why the fuck did you guys sack Conte lmao
Yep
Oh
I thought
Milner wanted a rest lol
The biggest issue with this is that there's a lack of consistency in playstyle and what players roles are
it's tiring
we're basically waiting for the stars to align like our CL win
and if they don't we get pissy and fire everyone
hell, even if they do
might become a leeds fan
at least they stuck with bielsa for a while
Who also plays a 343
would be sad to see potter leave brighton
Yeah I get what you mean he’s not good enough to start anymore but I think he’s being disrespected by the fans by a few bad performances over his long spell at the club. And the club is doing so bad that I don’t think he’s the problem even if he messed up today
It would but it was always gonna happen
Yeah that's what I'm saying. At the end of the day it isn't his fault that he's being played, but it doesn't change the fact that hes playing. I don't want his reputation tarnished.
And yes, he's far from the only problem, but he contributes to it and that was particularly evident today
Don’t like the fact that teams can highjack a manager in the middle of the season
Managers should follow the transfer window as well
actually i half agree
straight up transfers yes, free agent managers signing out the window is fine though
Yankees commit a NOBLETIGER in the bottom of the 11th, incredible
lmao
Double play and then a forceout
if we get potter we'll just fire him in two years anyways
Just for my information would you say that signing a player who’s without contract in the middle of the season would also be ok?
free agents / manager can be signed any time
Yes just that as a generality
Just not taking someone else’s manager
chelsea buying out potter's clause right?
18m I heard I think
Free agent managers are typically a better crop than free agent players
Huh. I heard 16 but could be 18
maybe idk, he still has a contract for us
nah
no way he comes into our side
lets not start go digging that up
our attack is fine
If he plays less they can still sign him just not for the clause in the loan
never made sense
They’re trying to sign him for less
even when we first got him
bartomeu splashing money on superstars without a proper plan 🤑
the irony is they will get him for less last year
and play him more
so the ATM fans excuse 'we have better attackers than him rn'
'hes like 5th or 6th in our pecking order'
will hold no value
barca were dragged for their shady shiz with barto and rightly so but people turning a blind eye to ATM doing weird shiz
quite true
Nothing wrong there. Just working with the clause they were given
also true
it does seem scummy but it's a dumb contract really
the loan negotiations looked good at the time but always thought atleti was gonna do a loophole around not paying it.
u reckon he grand salamis?
I hope lol
Also this in case you didnt see it
Why did Barca accept it
sounds very post ASG yankees
desperate needs to get griezmann's high wages of the wage cap
sounds very post houston correa
we were in deep shit last season especially given he was our highest earner
And 3rd out, to the bottom of the 12th lol
we couldn't keep messi or griezmann
Don’t really blame atletico for taking advantage of a club that can’t manage itself
given an enormously large contract by barto
true
they kinda did help us out a bit tbh
they took the wages off of us last season (this season as well)
helped us register other players
I would've just sold him tho back then and not a loan
it is what it is tbh
yea
