Lawros got us to lose. Good news lad

Wow. Gotta say.. I'm not as confident as Aqib seems to be and certainly not Shaun lol

Garth Crooks is hilarious, one of the highlights of the week is reading his nonsensical team of the weeks and his excuses for certain players who don't deserve to be init, ie United and Spurs players.

Yeah. And them and those other Super League bells.

Godfrey and Mina are not dislodging VVD and Matip in a combined 11, a CB pair that got 97 and 99 points consecutively and won a CL and they have the best defensive record in the league after 4 games.

Combined 11's are just stupid anyway i always find, just cause unnecessary arguments, doing them after 4 games in is even more laughably stupid, it should be at end of the season when they should be done, and with them not having any CBs last year then that is the only way Mina and Godfrey make a 20-21 Merseyside combined 11 as the starting CB pair.

Do this seasons combined 11 when the season ends.

Liverpool’s defensive stats would be nowhere near as good if teams would just finish blatant chances against them. It’s actually a fairly easy defence to get behind but as we saw against Leeds when premier league strikers are free as a bird inside the middle of the penalty area a yard from goal and hit it straight at Allison, or when City miss every pen they get against Liverpool, then the defensive record starts to look a lot better than their defence actually plays.

Chelsea United and City player for player have far better defences. Liverpool benefit from opposition profligacy and for being able to roughhouse opposition players without punishment (e.g Fabinho can’t seem to get a booking no matter the number of fouls per game whereas Allan just gets booked for his first tackle every match regardless of how harsh it is)

The fact that people actually consider anyone other than vvd as being better than mina makes me laugh....
If he wasn't made of glass we'd struggle to keep mina end of

To be fair mate, they don't. Thats the problem.

Had a peep at their pre match thread on Rawk (soz) for tomorrow. Head patting is fighting ignorance for supremacy. Difficult to tall which is in front.

And the one legged vandit - how does hopalong keep getting in on Crook's sympathy card?

To be fair mate, they don't. Thats the problem.

The only player I’d have in the United defence for Liverpool is Alexander Arnold, and even then Wan Bissaka is very good defensively.

Chelsea play a back 3 so is slightly different but even then they will probably end up with the best defensive record in the league this season and have been great since Tuchel arrived.

Walker Stones/Laporte Dias Zinchenko. The only player getting in there from Liverpool is Robertson.

Id throw a blanket over all the keepers as similar standard, De Gea has had poor form recently but Allison was teeing up goals for City only last season.

Alexander Arnold and Van Dijk are poor positionally, they just have a lot of pace to bail them out and in Van Dijk’s case rely on being overly physical. Matip is in my view their best defender positionally but he’s not often fit. Robertson is annoyingly good when the PEDs are flowing. He looked bang average last season though when they weren’t.

Watch them in nearly any game and they’ll cough up two or three absolutely gilt edged changes for the opposition. They just don’t concede them though, it’s not good defending, just terrible finishing time after time after time. Even just consider our games against them, we’ve had Gomes Mina and Coleman all put headers from a yard out straight at the keeper, Tosun and DCL have missed open nets from inside the box, and Davies scuffed his onto the post. That’s just us. Like I said City have missed multiple penalties against them and Mount missed a sitter at 1-0 up for Chelsea. Teams just miss easy chances against them, always have done. The goals we conceded against Burnley last season, all three from Raphinha, the headers from Callum Wilson, even the one from Armstrong this season for Southampton, you just don’t see finishing like that agaisnt Liverpool hardly ever.

it’s the 9/11 anniversary and yes, they have claimed it

This is so horrifically tasteless that I'm surprised they haven't claimed the Boston Marathon yet especially considering their ownership.
In 10 years or so we'll see articles about where the players were during the Taliban Offensive!

They did if I remember correctly.

They can't keep getting away with it! Holy [Poor language removed]!

Just like Van Dijk getting into Crooks team of the week, not for playing really well, oh no, just for actually being back from injury and on the field, now there is an excuse and a half for a player getting in.

 

[Saint Domingo]

Also how come there’s barely been a question from the media on where their new signing Konate is? Ole was getting it every week about Van der Beek. Benitez is now getting it all the time about James. If Pep left Grealish out I’m sure we wouldn’t hear the end of it. But Klopp leaves out a 36 mill point centreback signing? Not a word.
