The masses won’t mention that Virgil van Dijk performance because they have become desensitised to his greatness.
100% ground and aerial duel success rate whist also having SEVENTEEN passes into the final third. Rolls Royce…
Were Liverpool unlucky not to have had a penalty awarded late in the first half?
Cody Gakpo charged towards the Ipswich Town box and released the ball before going down after a tackle from Abdul Fatawu Issahaku.
@RPA00_ Think we both have the same issues at the moment; decent players in attack but leaking goals at the back.
An injury or two in defense and could be a LONG season for both of us!!
@RPA00_ 5th wasn't good enough (UCL football still, same as utd) and manager got sacked... Standards are high ⬆️
See how well Carrick does this year not having 1 game a week to focus on. You've already lost to the team tipped to finish bottom and the midweekers haven't started yet 🫣
@AJ151O Standards must be low as thats quite a simple pass at most levels. Look how much pitch he has to play it into with only 1 defender nowhere near it 😅
@LSeffz And for United...
Poor last season (other than new manager bounce)
Poor recruitment
Thin squad
New manager who's never managed under this pressure
+
You're not playing once a week now
😂😂😂
Players are happy to sign contracts with clubs and get paid very well.
If they don't play well, or sustain a bad injury, then the club continues to pay their wages - that's the risk you take 🤷♂️
Also, not sure why he's mentioned African players as it relates to all players #CPFC
🚨🌍 Ismaila Sarr’s agent Diomansy Kamara statement.
“Statement from Ismaila Sarr’s agent Diomansy Kamara: “The cases of Ismaila Sarr and Lamine Camara must all interrogate us.
“We have to get out of this logic where the African player can sometimes give the feeling that he is just a commodity: you buy it, you set its price, you negotiate its future and, too often, your will seems to go to the background.
“Our African players deserve respect. The respect of their work. The respect of their career. Respecting their ambitions. The respect of their voices.
“A transfer shouldn't just be a matter of two clubs and numbers. Behind every contract, there's a man, a career, dreams and life choices.
“The fact that clubs can sometimes have the final word is a reality of professional football. But one question remains: what about the career and the will of the player?
“The player must be able to be heard and respected in the decisions that determine his future.
“Let's never forget what's important: behind every success, it's the players who write history first.”
@_DIGB I expect Man City have received more in the last 5 years than Man United did in the entire Fergie Era from broadcast deals.
The working man's game is far from what it used to be now.
He was one of the first ones I wanted out the door after last season, but I’m not one of them stubborn knobheads who can’t change opinion. Think he’s been our best player so far under Iraola, £85m based on last season was huge. But doesn’t match the current market, considering the cost of the players we’ve tried for. Quite liked him on the right the other day too. Good news this. Time to get behind him and the rest of the lads now 💪🏼
