ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC" part 3


What makes me laugh is this constant narrative that Arnold, Robinson cancelo etc have reinvented the full back role by attacking, when this has been done for years, from Carlos and cafu for Brazil, cole for arsenal, even Baines and Coleman for us under moyes were practically wingers. It's pathetic how everything both the top 2 do is seen as revolutionary when it's not. They're just doing what's been done for years but better. I can admit that.

I think praise used to be more judiciously reserved for truly inspirational players like Thierry Henry. Now Thiago and Naby Keita are the best footballers you've ever seen, almost like they're playing an entirely different game. You the ordinary viewer just can't understand how next level they are.

To be fair that thiago has turned out to be half a player but Keita is turd. He doesn't look good in a team and system that makes jordan Henderson world class!!
 
1. Imagine seeking out athletes with suspicious and anachronistic performances to obtain their secret recipes

2. They must have tested the drinks before using them, meaning they are necessarily aware of where the boundary lies between legal illegal stimulants and are testing that boundary.

Nothing to see here though... Before he went to Liverpool Milner was bang average; his rebirth makes no sense whatsoever.
Is he not still bang average?
 



That Irish fella never had the makings of a varsity athlete.

Speaking of which... I was away with some mates and their mates this weekend and one of them was an Irish kopite desperate to talk to me at any opportunity about "the quadruple" and how I had to admit it was great.

He gave up after I answered every question with "So you've won the league cup?"
 
Modric must be on something, he has 50-55 starts a year at Real playing in CM and he's also 36 and still averaging 8-9 km per game, Milner has started only 6 games this season by comparison, Zlatan started (34) games for AC Milan at 41, Dzecko has started 42 games for Inter at 37.

Maybe it's because all 4 players above are famously teetotal.

Rooney started at 16, well known he liked the booze and fry ups, he was practically finished at the top level at 30 and he looks much older than 36, Wiltshire another known footballer started young who liked the cigarettes and booze again finished way to earlier at the top level of the game at 26, compare him to fabregas who was starting for Arsenal at 16 and is starting every game for Monaco at 35, Andy Carroll another player fondness for the booze, he's been stealing living since his mid 20's averaging 8 starts a season since 24. Best and Gascoigne 2 more famously boozy players,both done at the very top of football during their primes, one went to the USA at 27 the other went to Scotland at 26.
What's the excuse for the rest of the gobsh&$#@ playing staff ?
