League has relatively been the same. Its just Liverpool thats been too good.

[futballists @futballists]

@LilAlex59696 @SamueILFC @AnfieldSector Lineup doesn’t dictate the roles and setup of the players.

[futballists @futballists]

@Mobyhaque1 Liverpool need to start be more bold with the players. Offer extension when they have 2 years left. If they refuse then no matter how good or useful they are, need to sell and get the money in. Cant risk trying to nego during the final year of contract anymore.

[futballists @futballists]

@TheRealSouth25 @AnfieldSector @GuillemBalague Structure is not just for pressing and defensive shape. How the team rotates and moves the ball that dictates the build up and chance creation are also down to structure. Hopefully this will improve us both ends of the pitch.

[futballists @futballists]

@sockpuppet80 @PartedBeard I dont think that should matter. The ball came from far away (not in close proximity situation like opposition taking shot), hand/arm not near to body. The touch caused Saka to be total control of the ball so he gained advantage. Penalty all day.

[futballists @futballists]

@EbukaMeanzGreat Vitinha, Neves, Barcola, Doue and Kvara did not have an insane game but they were still the best players on the pitch. Having said that, it just shows how shit the Arsenal players are. Saka, Rice and them are nothing players.

[futballists @futballists]

@FabrizioRomano What about the handball by Saka? Have you watched that one for 72 hours too?

[futballists @futballists]

@CongestTheBoxx Jack of all trades player like this usually will thrive more with specialist partner in the team. Need a specialist DM or a specialist creator and he will raise the ceiling more imo.

[futballists @futballists]

@HarveyLaughton @drxzzy7i Fugazi big chances created. These data from set pieces are a bit weird if you look at it because some of them are very hard chance but gets labeled as big chances.

[futballists @futballists]

@yashtalksfooty …from top 4 challenger to title challenger, evolve again to title winner and evolve again to retain the title. Even though Pep is a chequebook manager, I still respect him so much to be able to continuously win titles after titles. Thats the hardest part of all.

[futballists @futballists]

@yashtalksfooty A team has to evolve. Because opposition will also adapt to how your team plays. Imo, for a good team to reach CL spot is the easiest challenge. Once you achieve that, opposition will start to respect you more and thats the real challenge starts. You have to evolve to progress…

[futballists @futballists]

@KayLFC05_ It has been the case all season. People will say its because the players are not good enough blablabla. But I truly believe training and drills impact this kind of things.

[futballists @futballists]

@Mobyhaque1 @LewisSteele_ I want him to succeed and understand your statement but the whole team being lost and no structure dont make him consistently overhit or underhit a pass and thats been happening all season.

[futballists @futballists]

@RobGutmann This revisionism about Diaz is crazy. You people forget that the fans were asking the cartel to kidnap his father again. Thats how bad he was in majority part of last season.

[futballists @futballists]

@SirAlexGodSon …collective trophies to be in the conversation of all time best and in terms of individual performance and longevity he wipes the floor everyone that have existed to play in this league. Thats all I’m saying and even you cant argue with that.

[futballists @futballists]

@SirAlexGodSon My point is you cant just use one way to judge it. If we want to use the trophies then CL should be included. If you want to use bdor then Owen should be included. It should be collective trophies, individual performance and longevity. Salah has more than enough collective…

[futballists @futballists]

@SirAlexGodSon I’m pointing out your logic is flawed. If you are using the 3 peat and cl as a sole judgement for rating the players then all those man utd players in those years will be the top 15 PL player of all time. In that case then Ronaldo and Owen are the top 2 PL players of all time.

[futballists @futballists]

@SirAlexGodSon See you had to mention Henry finishing 2nd. Salah finished 2nd a few times with more points than the highest points Henry ever had. UCL means a lot because it means you have elevated the level not just domestically but also in Europe!

[futballists @futballists]

@SirAlexGodSon @el_mansfield Best player ever in the prem also has to win the CL with a prem club. That puts Henry and Cantona out of the equation very fast!

[futballists @futballists]

@Oladunjoye78025 @ftballpodcast @nonewthing Not sure if you read the whole list but Robertson is there. An actual left back.
