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

I mean it's not that odd really. Wasn't that the season he re-joined Chelsea from Switzerland midway through? He was like 21

Most attacking players who go on to be as good as Salah has been are at that level at a very early age almost as teenagers in most cases.

Messi, Ronaldo, Rooney, Neymar, Hazard, Mbappe Haaland, Aguero Owen etc. they’re picked up when they’re teenagers identified early. Almost every single one is, even Endrick is moving to Real Madrid at 16, Vinicius Jr and Rodrigo before him.

Not many go completely undetected in their early 20s and then suddenly become the best players in the world in their mid to late 20s.

Coincidentally though that’s just exactly what happened to Salah Mane Firmino Van Dijk all at exactly the same time the world best right back was coming through the academy. What extraordinary good luck. Just absolutely amazing that the scouts at all these top clubs who snatch up every other prodigy when they’re teenagers just somehow missed the best players in the world all plying their trade right in front of them in the SPL, the bottom of the prem, and Serie A.
 
Anyone seen the video doing the rounds of some fella singing "A Jurgen Hug" of course he has an acoustic guitar.
Not sure if the link will work


"There's nothing that we haven't won..." Never won the cup winners cup. Never will either. On a wider note, I'd rather never win anything again than put up with titends like this following my club.
 
Classic BBC, somehow Manchester United are in the title, then the bloke who threw the bottle is ‘a man from Everton’. Couldn’t make it up. Can’t bring themselves to say a Liverpool fan has been arrested.
They truly are a vile organisation, this level of so called journalism is vile there's no interest in fair reporting, just activists promoting agendas. I thought we would never sink to fox news "experts" in Britain, I was wrong. Calling ethnic Russian fighters, pro Russian implies they ate Ukraninans who have some deluded loyalty to Putin, not just ethnic Russian nationalists. Also if we through a bottle at their coach, you'd have club officials and our ex players brought out to apologise for our yobbery. If it's Liverpool nothing to see, also miraculously, all of that racist abuse Evra, Richy and Sterling got, not 1 fan arrested. Evrrton fan abused Salah on Twitter arrested. Dagliesh is never called out for his endorsement of Suarezs racism. I'm sick and tired of what should be a skilled profession, that journalism should be, with journalists being locked up or executed in some countries. Then you have that moron Melissa Teddy from Sky Sports pointing out what's blatantly obvious and pretending to understand what's being talked about, treating Klopp leaving like 9 11, I mean it's not like there's a war in Ukraine or Palestine. No Klopp leaving is worthy of a 25 minute discussion.
 

Aye, I don't really like to believe in conspiracies here. He's just a top player.
Strange that Messi, Ronaldo, Ageuro, Mbappe, McManaman and nearly all quality attacking creative players were spotted at an early age as Saint Domingo pointed out, but Salah wasn't. Strange how it took Ronaldo 3 4 years to, get to what Salah did overnight. Deulofeu had a great touch and he was great at passing, he just didn't have the fitness. Barkley in terms of skill was great, just didn't have an end product. Where doping comes into it, is where Salah and other RS players are able to run around without getting tired. United's, Chelseas, Arsenal and City's great sides had strength in depth in their squads. They've managed to play in multiple competitions with a small team, with not a lot of quality.

Hope you're fully wrapped in tinfoil.
 

Klopp’s last CL tie was getting utterly shafted by Carlo (again)

Real Madrid really were the one team he couldn’t fluke his way past.
Carlo knew how to play against klopp sides men behind the ball then counter them,that’s why klopp moaned about Utd the other week and has moaned about conte doing it as well,I’m surprised more teams don’t do it

Believe what you want to believe, if you believe that Klopp is simply this amazing manager, who can ensure that they can compete with a small squad in multiple competitions, when other top clubs rest players or get injuries all season then fine. So United's side of 08/09. VDS or foster in goal. Evra, Vidic, Ferdinand, O Shea, Evans Neville in defence. Ronaldo, Giggs, Nani, Anderson, Fletcher, Carrick, Scholes in midfield. Rooney, Berbatov, Tevez and Welbeck up front. They were far better across the pitch, than any of Klopps sides. Take a look at Chelseas teams, Arsenals teams and City's team that won titles, packed to the brim with quality,chad strength in depth. Players who left went on to decent careers at other clubs. Yet not one of Klopps rejects has done anything elsewhere after leaving. Macherano, Alonso, Suarez, or Sterling didn't become bad players after leaving Anfield. Yes the fact that Rooney, Torres, Tevez, RVP, Eto, Owen, Fowler, Lukaku, Aguero Villa and Messi were all playing at a top level from an early age at big clubs. Yet as has been pointed out nobody noticed Salah. If something doesn't make sense it generally isn't true. Milner was an alright midfielder in his prime, he has somehow after an incredibly average City side got rid of him, played constantly in a Liverpool side that play higher intensity football all as he's coming the end of his career. Of course it makes perfect sense that it's just Ribena, that's helped him keep up.



It's not like people cover up the wrong doings of Liverpool FC and their fans. That would never happen, Heysel was caused by Chelsea fans. Despite the fact that Liverpool fans robbed their fans in Athens and tried to bunk in then. They did it it Madrid, their highly witty supporters have continually boasted about it, it was actually all local Arabs, who only tried to bunk in the Liverpool end. Rascals given Liberpool a bad reputation. When Suarez repeatedly called Evra the N word, while in a argument it was actually a term of endearment, shame on Evra for bringing Liberpool bad publicity. See Liberpool are an honest club they first denied he said it and made a big song and dance over Evra lying, then when Suarez admitted to it changed the script and said it was cultural. Yet all the RS players involved other than when Evra challenged spitty, have got away with it. Its not like Liverpool would cover up one of their players beating up a DJ, or miraculously fail to catch anyone attacking City's coach.

Look at the reaction to Neville simply pointing out the atmosphere was poor at Anfield v United. He was criticized in the Echo and his comments somehow were compared to people mocking Hillsborough. When has anyone on here or anywhere else made a huge deal about a pundit saying the atmosphere happened to be poor at GP at a particular game warranted such a response. Look at the reaction to Pickfords challenge, somehow on here said it was mentioned recently while they we watching a non league game with no relevance to Liverpool. The idea that anyone in the media or the authorities would investigate Liberpool for any wrong doing is ridiculous. Pointing out a blatant fact such as the atmosphere at Anfield is like a morgue for most games, is treated with a vitriolic response, suggesting they're doping could result in far worse things. But go on believing that Liverpool would never cheat or lie.
