MARK WOOD ANNOUNCES HIS RETIREMENT FROM INTERNATIONAL CRICKET.

[Dale @ncakos316]

That's actually disgusting and very telling from India. Umpire gives a wide, correctly, for a ball that was hitting the 17th leg stump. Iyer complains because his shit India side may lose to Japan and for some reason the umpires change the decision. Japan have been robbed. Gross.

🚨 Jeremy Jacquet on winning his first Liverpool MOTM against Bournemouth:

🎙️ “Getting my first Man of the Match award feels amazing, especially because it came in a game where we had to suffer. I’m still learning, but when you have Virgil next to you, you have the perfect teacher. I’m watching everything he does.”

“Virgil talks to me constantly where to stand, when to step, when to stay calm. Sometimes I think, ‘Okay, I’ve understood now!’ and then he gives me another lesson. I’m just trying to take everything from him.”

“I’m happy with the award, but I want more clean sheets and more wins. If Liverpool fans are already enjoying watching me, then I’m going to make sure they have even more reasons to sing my name. And yes… I’ll keep stealing Virgil’s secrets.

🚨 Zinédine Zidane on Jeremy Jacquet and why he called him up for France:

“People might think I called Jeremy Jacquet because of the hype around Liverpool, but that’s not the reason. I’ve followed him for a long time. He played with my son Elyaz at youth level, so I’ve seen him before the Premier League knew his name. What he is doing at Liverpool now is simply confirming what I already believed.”

“What impressed me is how quickly he has adapted. He doesn’t play like a 21-year-old who is waiting for permission to belong at this level. He defends with personality, he wants the ball, he accepts responsibility and he looks comfortable next to experienced players. That is exactly the type of mentality I want to see in France.”

“I didn’t call Jacquet up to make up the numbers. I called him because I want to see how far he can go against the best players in the world. And if he keeps playing for Liverpool the way he has started, people will soon stop asking why Zidane selected him and start asking why Jacquet wasn’t selected earlier.”

🚨 Mohamed Salah on whether he would have loved to play under Andoni Iraola:

🎙️ “Of course I would have loved to work with Iraola. You can see the way his teams play aggressive, brave, intense. I think my style would have fitted that football very well. When you have a coach who wants you attacking, pressing and making things happen, you feel that immediately.”

“My final season at Liverpool was difficult. There were moments where I felt things had changed, and eventually I knew I had to make a decision about my future. I still had a year left on my contract, so leaving wasn’t something I decided overnight. Liverpool meant too much to me for it to be an easy goodbye.”

“Maybe if Iraola had been there, things could have been different. I can’t change what happened with Arne, and I don’t want to rewrite my Liverpool story. But when I look at this Liverpool team now, the way they play and the freedom their attackers have, I sometimes think: that would have been fun.”

🚨 Florian Wirtz responds to Jamie Carragher’s criticism:

🎙️ “I’ve heard what Jamie said, and I respect his opinion. But football isn’t decided by one pundit’s microphone. I know my performance against Bournemouth wasn’t my best, but I was involved in the move that led to the winning goal, we got the three points and that is what matters most to me.”

“I didn’t come to Liverpool to prove myself in five games. I came here to play football, win trophies and build something with this team. Sometimes you have to understand that a player can influence a game without scoring or assisting every week. If the only way people judge me is by numbers, then they’re going to miss a lot of what I’m trying to do.”

“And if Jamie thinks I shouldn’t play against Manchester City, that’s okay. He can have his opinion, and I’ll have mine. I’d rather answer on the pitch because when you play for Liverpool, the best response is not talking back. It’s making people change what they were saying about you.”

[Tarzan🧌 @Tarzanjr554]

🚨 Paul Scholes sends a message to Liverpool’s title rivals:

🎙️ “Liverpool are absolutely in the title conversation. I know people will look at Manchester City, Arsenal and the usual names, but I’ve watched Liverpool closely and there’s something different about them. They have goals throughout the team, they have experience at the back and, most importantly, they have players who know how to win difficult games.”

“What stands out to me is the mentality. You don’t need to dominate every minute of a title race — sometimes you need to win when you’re not at your best. Liverpool have already shown they can do that, and with Isak, Wirtz, Gakpo, Barcola and the quality around them, I wouldn’t want to face them over 38 games.”

“And I’ll say this now because people will laugh at it later don’t wait until April to start calling Liverpool contenders. If they stay healthy and keep collecting points, they will be right there when the title is decided. Liverpool aren’t watching the title race anymore. They’re part of it.”

I see a lot of fans trying to put Fabian Ruiz in the Ballon d'Or winner conversation, and honestly, it amuses me.

We're talking about an individual award. An award for the best player in the world, not the player who won the most trophies or was part of the team that achieved the most.

We're talking about individual excellence.

The players who impacted games for their teams, influenced tournaments, stood out and performed at a world-class level throughout the season.

Fabian Ruiz had an incredible season.

He won Ligue 1 with PSG, won the Champions League with PSG and won the World Cup with Spain.

All of that deserves massive praise.

But here's the problem:

He was never the best player for any of those teams in any of those competitions.

He wasn't close to being the most important player for PSG, and he wasn't among the standout players of Spain's World Cup campaign either.

For PSG, his season was inconsistent and injuries limited his involvement. He missed important games in both the Champions League and Ligue 1.

At the World Cup, he didn't even start the tournament as a regular starter. He became more involved from the quarter-finals onwards, but that doesn't suddenly make him one of the tournament's best individual performers.

Trophies matter, but they aren't the entire argument.

Fabian deserves recognition for what he achieved. He deserves to be nominated and can absolutely have a place among the top 30.

But putting him in the winner conversation?

No.

There were plenty of players who individually stood out far more than Fabian Ruiz throughout the season.

The Ballon d'Or is about team success, individual excellence and fair play.

Fabian Ruiz ticks the team-success box brilliantly.

But individually, he simply didn't have the season required to be considered the Ballon d'Or winner.

Being part of a historic team doesn't automatically make you the best player in the world.

[AnfieldDirect @AnfieldDirect1]

@Tarzanjr554 Defensive positioning, off-the-ball runs, press triggering, and tactical discipline often go unnoticed by casual viewers. A pundit of Carragher's caliber is uniquely positioned to educate fans on these subtle contributions.

@AnfieldWatch It's a time to build a new backline.
Although they deserve such a huge respect.
