@cryptseptember@paris_wisdom Reina was anything but average, a fantastic shot-stopper, good with his feet when it was not much of a requirement for goalies. Was easily in the top 10 of goalies in Europe maybe even top 5 between 2005- 2012. 3 consecutive PL golden gloves as well.
@paris_wisdom Cech with the head-gear was still spectacular. Easily the best goalie in the league what happened was he struggled to keep up with the changing demands for modern keepers(sweeping and ball playing). But surely the greatest of the Prem era.
@KrrishFT What was the point of this transfer in the first place. Wouldn't even be getting a profit off him. Just wasted his and our time. Another baffling decision by the club
@israel_ajoje He's better than Savinho and Marmoush . 27 years and with a better body of work than 90% of forwards available in the market. Prem experienced as well. 85M is cheap.
@LFC_Markinho Awful or not, selling a player who's going to be your 2nd highest goal scorer and also you most experienced forward to a direct rival is just plain stupid. Especially in a market that is clearly lacking in quality forward options. Also everyone one of them was awful last season.
@Mix_Football1 Most likely, Mane did, Salah did. If they are able to generate a high number of quality chances like they do with Salah, his finishing is bound to improve.
@Mix_Football1 Finishing is a skill that can be taught. He has all the other ingredients. For all his greatness, Salah's conversion rate hardly ever touched 20% in any season, averaged 15% in his whole LFC career. But if you can fashion out enough high quality chances, then he will be alright.
@Martins__lfc He is 17, there, 6years younger than Barcola. Played an awful lot of minutes for his age last szb. Will get lots of games this szn due to iraola's style and huge number of matches to be played. Will be able to grow his game organically with undue pressure. He'll be alright
@BlazeRegent Brilliant post.
I also think that al lot of Nigerians are like this because they secretly wish to be the oppressors. They aspire to it even. Evidence by the way the average Nigerian behaves when he stumbles upon any small fortune. It tends to being out all their worst traits.
@whipsnade19 I agree about the structure and I think it will improve. I trust the Iraola to do that but we have seen these guys out-dueled too many times. Sometimes the structure/tactics might not work and all that is left is to dig in and fight and these guys chicken out too often.
@whipsnade19 Nice read but the guys just have to win their duels especially the first action after losing position. And commit some damn fouls. All the great teams do it. They had that with the Fabinhon, Henderson and Gini even Thiago was good at fouling when he was out-dueled.
