That Carabao Cup final win was such a momentous victory for our club.
Millions watched as Liverpool youngsters beat Chelsea’s expensive imports in a FINAL.
And now academy players and their parents view Liverpool as a great club for youngsters to thrive
🚨🔴 EXCL: Liverpool are closing in on deal to sign Rio Ngumoha (2008) as he’s leaving Chelsea Academy.
#LFC
are set to break historical wage structure for Academy to sign Rio, who’s highly rated by the club.
Deal set to be completed soon. 🏴
I think we have to look at it deeper than that. Arsenal play so differently to Pep.
More creative and exciting wingers. Actual wingers, not ball retention mids.
Ben White isn’t really forming a back 3. It’s not rigid like that.
AFC just play more direct, fun football imo
In that France v England game, wasn’t an Mbappé v Walker 1v1. It was Mbappé vs 3 men.
Whenever Mbappé touched the ball on the wing, Walker, Henderson, and Saka covered all dribbling angles.
The one time Mbappé and Walker were truly 1v1, Mbappé burst past him and created chance
Didn’t wanna say anything at first but I don’t think Henry is taking Walker personally, especially if both in their primes, I think it ends like Mbappe v Walker at the WC did at worst, at best Walker locks him up
Look at Van Dijk clobbering Messi before he can turn. He was waiting to pounce. He read that perfectly.
Great example of how Liverpool attacks are made possible through Van Dijk. He’s not just any other great defender.
I think the tactico fatal flaw is being so enamored by potential threat and what should be great in theory, that they often push practicality to the wayside.
In no way is Nunez a top 4 or even a top 5 striker in the league if you seriously consider what happens on the field.
Arsenal has got away with it, again. Nunez - our most potent threat is out with a knock. And Szoboszlai is injured. And Salah is injured. We're set up to lose at the worst time
If I was Trent I’d stayed with Under Armor. Nostalgia and Gerrard is cool but imagine being the MAIN GUY of a brand, rather than just another star player.
The fanbase is being way too harsh on Szoboszlai. But it’s okay, they’ll be loving him up soon again.
Szobo, Eliott, and Jota are going to be the biggest decisive factors during the AFCON period without Salah
Ngl I really dislike Twitter Arsenal fans.
Obviously doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of life, but you guys are the most pretentious, pathetic, arrogant, and delusional bunch.
The tweets I’ve seen from “tacticos” and regular fans has been absolutely outrageous
Someone can have all the traits in the world but can’t put them together to consistently make his team win, then they are not better than a player who may not have all the describable traits, but who still performs

I wanted Italy to lose because of their very racist fans. I’m American-Nigerian but I’ve seen the abuse at Kean, Lukaku, Osihmen, etc.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: the basketballization of football discourse is a disease.
Football is far more complex than these blanket statements.
So no Salah, no Trent, no Szoboszlai, and potentially no Alisson.
It sucks that people are going to look at us inevitably drop off and say “told you it wasn’t sustainable”
Genuinely believe that we’d be in a much better situation if our players were healthy
So between Arsenal and Liverpool, I think it’s a case of which football crime is lesser.
Signing Havertz as LCM or willingly playing without a ball winner in midfield?
Playing an average 5’11 keeper who can’t claim crosses or relying on a striker with no composure to score?

@WaelTHFC
Salah often scuffs his shots. He’s one of the most technically inconsistent players in the league. He’s also probably the best player in the league. Two things can be true.
He gets himself into great positions like no one else and has that quick,smart finish in his locker.
Was gonna say what’s up and try my luck but then I saw you’re a City fan.
When we’re dating and I’m going thru a rough (broke) patch, you’re gonna bandwagon to the scammer nigga who rakes in a million a month ffs
@R24ceJames
The difference being that Chelsea’s players all had at least 2 pro seasons under their belt and were bought for big money.
They were not from your academy.
He already is “unreal” in that LCM spot. For Liverpool.
Arsenal fans should stop fantasizing on our guy. It’s not our fault Arteta wasted all that money on Havertz lol
@SeanDOlfc
@Bd_irB_ll
It’s a mix of both. Pogba was held to very high standards because he did have the facilities to be the best midfielder of this century.
HOWEVER, a lot of the criticism was caused by racism. Ppl criticizing his hair and dancing, making him the scapegoat for all of Utd’s problems
@gardenbabylons
@jhilikeye
I personally know several people who just studied hard, got perfect scores and GPA, and hoped that would carry them to into an Ivy …, it didn’t work they got rejected
@afczxr
You've had no Timber & Partey for the whole season. You want me to say no Thiago and Robertson wth?
We're not playing the best player in the league this season as well as our starting RCM and your answer is no Zinchenk0? Lmao
I hate De Zerbi suggestions with a passion.
He needs to learn to coach out of possession structure. He needs to learn to coach defense in general.
Brighton is the perfect club for him. Please let mid table talents be mid table talents.
Villareal lacked lol, they should of put a Balon d'or clause in.
Him and Jesus are the last heirs to 17/18 Firmino and if you can't see it you probably employ Hojlund/Haaland up front
@chiddyafc
@rajsinghchohan
Even those complaints are wrong.
A couple years ago we had a team finishing with 92 and 97 points and finish 2nd
The premier league in the 2020s has constantly been the best league in the world. That was absolutely not the case in 2010s that they are reminiscing
@ThePostsOffice
Respectfully, I want a woman who is exclusive to me. If you got an OF, everyone can see your body and enjoy ur body. And many men are not comfortable with that (including me). And I won’t have much respect for myself if I’m relying on my S.O to buy me a PS5. Could jus work more
What’s in the juice today? This is a good comp of a great player.
Because you didn’t see him grace past 3 defenders before losing the ball to the 4th,Saka isn’t a great player?
I hate how myopic ppl are.Too obsessed with aesthetic and “aura”
What about being good at the sport?
This lineup is similar to the one played vs West Ham last week, a resounding 5-1 victory.
But the result is irrelevant. It was probably our all-round best performance of the season. We played beautiful football & controlled the game.
Liverpool winning games through individual brilliance and sheer inevitability.
Feels like we inherited the powers off Real Madrid after they terrorized us
Feel like it will take Trent locking up Mbappé himself in a World Cup final for him to shake off the “bad defender” tah
He’s improved markedly at 1v1s and is decent at other aspects of defending, too
