@ClassyBruyne For a so called "football expert", the fact that you think Stones and Laporte come even close the the talent of Maldini and Nesta, let alone are better than them shows that you are nothing more than a City fan with a biased agenda
@JanAageFjortoft@JARiiseOfficial Add the physical requirements to make it as a professional footballer today as well, Messi and Ronaldo are faster, stronger and better conditioned. You put peak Maradona in today's football, with his smoking, drugs and lack of conditioning, players would run rings around him
@JanAageFjortoft@JARiiseOfficial You compare those stats and trophies to Messi and Ronaldo is ridiculous. They have hundreds more goals and have more trophies combined than most football clubs. Plus they have had the joint monopoly on the Ballon d'or for the past decade, something that Maradona didn't win once
@JanAageFjortoft@JARiiseOfficial Maradona scored 259 goals in 491 apps. And 240 of those apps were in Argentina. He played only 2 years at Barcelona, with only 36 appearance. And at Napoli (during his WC win) he only won 2 league titles and a UEFA Cup
@JanAageFjortoft@JARiiseOfficial You're absolutely wrong. There is this incorrect aura around Pele and even more so Maradona being the greatest ever just because of their World Cup performances and yet at club level they don't even come close to either Messi or Ronaldo.
@ilyushakot@LivEchoLFC Yes I have. He's young, of course he is going to make mistakes, de Gea did for his first two seasons at United. And to suggest that he is a major reason they don't compete for the CL is insanely harsh. The reason is down to more than a 19 year old goalkeeper
@jordanbpeterson Did you see that a high school in Minnesota dropped To Kill a Mockingbird from its curriculum as it was deemed 'hurtful' and 'racist'? A bit ironic considering it's an extremely powerful anti-racist novel, possibly the greatest ever

@DistanceCovered I was just implying that if you wanted a player who could execute all the abilities Coutinho can with the same level of quality, if not better in some parts, Dybala is the perfect replacement
@DistanceCovered I agree he doesn't play as deep as Coutinho can, but Lemar isn't exactly an 8 either. If we use the 4-2-2-2 we could use Dybala in either his best positions in 10 or 9 quite effectively. That being said, I rate the hell out of Lemar and wouldn't turn my nose to him.
@DistanceCovered While I rate Lemar extremely high, I think Liverpool should get the exact amount of money and get Dybala as a replacement. Only 22/23 and is at a higher level than Lemar or Mahrez for that matter. While he is already on par with Coutinho
@oleole717@DistanceCovered Too many variables to assume all that will happen. But if we were to recruit well in the positions needed, we have every chance to compete for the title
@DistanceCovered That is a very valid point. Pep teams are tactically superior to anything, ever. But Klopp's are explosive and highly intensive and if we're on, we can beat anyone. Just need to fill our tactical and defensive gaps. And then I feel we can compete on a similar level
@DistanceCovered While I do understand the worry that Pep is only going to make City stronger each season, I believe that we are on an upward trajectory and the only reason we've fallen behind so much is our own undoing. If we continue to recruit well and find a fluid consistency we'll get there
