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

[bluenorthwarrior]

Mad innit

One season........

It fits the mould of the delusion that anything done at anfield counts more than elsewhere, and how increasingly across football anything done today is so much more impressive than previously (ironically due to the internet and explosion of sites like this that perpetuate 24/7 debate!).

Salah is having a superb season. But there are a litany of players who set the league alight in terms of goalscoring without becoming the next messi, ronaldo or whoever it was in their day.

Think Vardy, Cole, Kevin Phillips etc etc the list goes on. All rightly lauded for their superb seasons over the years without being elevated to comparisons with the best player in history of football. Even Kane only now after 4/5 seasons of consistency being universally accepted as world class.

Well done Salah, but come on. I saw a tweet comparing Messi's 5 La Ligas, 3 CLs, Ballon D'Ors etc achieved by 25 with Salah's record at that age. Celebrate the probable player of the year performance but let's keep things in perspective Jurgen!

Should be 50. His first tonight was probably one of a few with his right foot ( I sat on my arse coz it was on his right). Honestly he hasn't done that much in terms of outright world class skill but just seems to be there at the right time ( a skill in itself). Don't think we will beat Citeh but would rather face them than Real or Juve as they are arl arses in terms of getting a soft free kick and killing the game. If Citeh beat us thrir lack of experience ( cheating) will do for them. Don't see us winning the league for decades unless some angry second cousin of citeh's owner buys us to spite him. Yernited played us to a tee the other week to be fair but that is Mourinho all over and any FOOTBALL fan would want Pep over Josie.

I'd take Jose any day of the week.

Where's the cheating aspect coming from? I don't believe how a bitter can wave the cheating card at city, they've blown everyone away, whereas all your recent trophies have needed a dive or two to get a pen.

Suarez was apparently better than him when at Liverpool, until he went to Barca, improves his game a level, and still wasn’t as good as Messi.

Delusion is what kopites do best. I’m sure Messi regularly gets shut out by defenders of the quality of Ashley Young.

I am not saying Citeh are cheats. I am saying Real and Juve use their experience to gain advantages. Against Spurs, a Juve player was barely touched on the touchline by Trippier and collapsed and won the free kick. The pressure Spurs were putting on was halted by that experience. Ramos and co will use all their know how in a way Citeh don't. Aguero is one of my favourite strikers to watch as on the whole he plays the game in the right spirit and isn't a bellend. Not once in my post did I accuse Citeh of cheating. A fantastic team which will probably dominate for years in the Prem but European footy is a different animal.

Only at eating.

Salah has been unbelievable but will need to win trophies to be world class.

He'll win them at either Real or Barca.

My facebook feed from 5 years ago popped up today with this, still funny:

Laughing at the Stoke fans singing Suarez: "He cheats, he dives, he hates the Jackson 5!"

 

[The binman chronicles]

Apparently Ian Rush's record is under threat.

HAHAHAHAHAHA

He's going to have to score a shed load of goals between now and the end of next season when he signs for Real.

Whenever they turn into a live man team, why does that one man never actually get injured? Gerrard carried them for years, don't remember him ever getting a bad injury. Torres was usually quite injury prone, but fine for them. Suarez seemed to play every single game when he wasn't banned and now salah.

Their injury record was so bad that they had to name ben Woodburn as one of two players injured. The guy gets nowhere near their first team.

One man team that's supposed to be ha

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

Think he’s been spending too much time with Firmino.

 

[Kenshin]

Their scouts replace Torres with suarez and Suarez with saleh (a year apart?)

Our scouts pick up the paper and see who has a good write up that week and decide on them.

Be boss like if our scouts found at least one great buy from somewhere like. Or if we had a a manger willing to play them (vlasic lookman holgate)

He was better than Messi, though admittedly Messi hasn't been thrown out of Keeley Hazell's house.
