Sonoftherock Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 van Bommel ace player back in the day That's one thing you've got correct... at his peak, he was dominating games at the very highest level. Probably an underrated player IMO. Link to comment
DelMonte Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 I had a 10er on Liverpool to win it which I put on in January. Bastards. Link to comment

boboisared Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Zidane walks in as manager, wins 3 European Cups, then fucks off. What a man.I wonder how long it will be before Rangers Media are posting saying they jumped the gun too quickly with Gerrard? Link to comment
boboisared Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 You listening to tS, bobo aye Hahahaha. Not today pal Link to comment
Sonoftherock Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Zidane will end-up at France after the world cup I reckon... On paper I reckon they're about the strongest team in competition... but I don't think they'll win it. Crazy situation with Adrien Rabiot. I'm not sure I've seen a better midfielder in European football, over the past few years. Yet big Stevie NZonzi gets called up ahead of him! Link to comment
Dynamo Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Good shout with ZZ for France if they have a poor world cup. On paper they're up there with the top 3 teams, better than Germany. Fancy Spain or Brazil to win it though. Link to comment
Bluto10 Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Just the defence with the Frogs for me Plus if they canna win at home they win a win in Russia Link to comment

Poodler Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 I see the Liverpool keeper was apparently concussed when he made a cunt of his work Link to comment
minijc Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 He definitely had issues with his vision after the elbow to the head which would tie in with a head injury which happened 130seconds before he threw it off of Benzema Link to comment

boboisared Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Salah: Not Ramos fault at all, over the top nonsense by Egyptian folk and Liverpool fans.Karius: Van Dijk pushed him, but Ramos did leave an arm out which sums Ramos up as a human, he's a cunt but a winner. Ramos can say what he wants, but you can't blame people for pointing the finger given his style of play, he's a dirty, DIRTY bastard - someone who played alongside Pepe, a player who has had 24 red cards in his career. I'm not sure you can have the audacity to come out and defend yourself (as funny as it is especially the Firmino sweat part) the way he has done. A born winner, but a fucking cheat at the same time, but with Salah, not a fucking chance - these things happen week in week out on a football pitch, and Salah definitely did grab Ramos first. I think the only thing he really did wrong was the Mane dive, which was pathetic. Liverpool fans can say what they want but would absolutely love a born winner like him in their team. Link to comment

boboisared Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 They had Suarez... who was a massive diving cheating bugger, but by fuck what a player he was. His movement is like something I'd never seen before when watching him live - footballing brain but a fucking mink - so no one could argue your second point. My point was the irony in him defending himself. The boy who cried wolf type really given his history.He is in no way at fault for Salah, but he did leave his arm in with Karius - but the latter and all this shite with going to US doctors is a complete fabrication to try and protect their goalkeeper. He's shite and has always been shite through this season, so the concussion, meh - pile of shite. If he hadn't made mistakes throughout the season I may have bought into the concussion nonsense, but na - he's just a crap keeper.Reminds me of the massive argument on here, South African World Cup when Suarez stopped a last minute header on the line with his arm. Decent posters want him to get an extended ban, South Africa should have just been given the game and wouldn't condone an Aberdeen player acting in that manner. Link to comment
minijc Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Karius improved quite a bit over the last few months of the season, I don't think coming out saying he had concussion is an attempt at making excuses for him it's just a fact and one that should be taken more seriously. 1 Link to comment

You said the same of de Gea when it was clear even through my beer googles he was just making the odd rookie mistake. At the end of the day the punditry is best left to the experts Link to comment
boboisared Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Aye that was against Ghana. It was World Cup Moment #9 yesterday (BBC website). I thought it was fucking hilarious when he did it. I'd have done exactly the same. If they'd have just given the game to South Africa then Ghana would have been in an even worse mood.Hahaha. Oops. Link to comment
minijc Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 What is Liverpool quality though? Comes across as the "Celtic minded" thing that was banded about certain players or managers. Link to comment
Bluto10 Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Just pullin yer leg min He wasn’t honking berty min btw He made plenty breathtaking saves where you could see he had vast potential Just made a few mistakes also Link to comment
Bluto10 Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 ^^^ good saves vastly outnumbered his mistakes in the early years Link to comment
boboisared Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 He isn't Liverpool quality that much is for sure. De Gea was absolutely honking at the beginning but became a class keeper. Hands up, got that wrong.I've read alot about Karius and his attitude (Didi Hamann wrote a piece about him) - he genuinely believes he's made it, and he makes basic mistakes in games time and time again (a mate is a season ticket holder at Anfield).He's a punching keeper but always to the feet of someone coming in on goal (see Roma away for reference to that).Karius is not Liverpool quality and will be back up next season (League Cup games is my prediction). I would say many fans make better pundits going by the pundits of the world these days... (see Craigan for reference and many more).I didn't think De Gea was honking. Just very suspect at crosses or when he was getting roughed up. Put on a bit of bulk and he's now incredible. Link to comment
minijc Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 @@minijc A team that is probably top 10 in European competitions. Most of which have top goalkeepers.Liverpool have had a poor goalkeeper for many years, probably not had one since Pepe Reina (who went well and truly off the boil because his back up was terrible). Many before Reina were also savage. I think if they get Allison from Roma, you'd see a completely different side and you'll get what I mean. Look at Aberdeen with Joe Lewis (remember our full time keeper before him and not Danny Ward). I rest my case in that regard. Lewis is Aberdeen quality.Langfield was not.What's the bench mark for being *team* quality though? Seems to me some teams and their fans think they have a divine right to have such quality when really they don't. Link to comment
boboisared Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Without a doubt as things stand, the best keeper in the world.Don't know if you saw the game against Arsenal at the Emirates but he was unreal. Never saw a performance like that. I don't think any Arsenal fan could be disappointed with the defeat when you are up against an opponent like that. Arsenal literally had to tee themselves up for a volley from a couple of yards out to score. Two save of the season contenders in one game. Link to comment
minijc Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Trick question or stupid question? Success is the only obvious answer.As fans you strive for more, and when there is a weakness - fans want better. See Langfield/Considine at Aberdeen for reference. League Cup 2014 drove Aberdeen fans on to EXPECT better, due to that success.It's not a stupid question or a trick question, I'm just keen to know as if every team kept to a certain rule where they only signed players of *team* quality they'd never unearth a star, they'd constantly be spending silly amounts of money trying to buy success and that's something Liverpool don't do according to their fans.

boboisared Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Were you? Joking aside, I never saw the game - but I do recall the saves you mention. They was absolutely outstanding. Link to comment
