@AnfieldPapers @pauljoyce_ But Ekiteke goes despite being taken off injured

[🟢] NEW: Ibrahima Konate has withdrawn from the France squad due to fitness issues. (@pauljoyce_)

@WinsLFC Harry Kane

Who actually deserves the Ballon d’Or this year… no bias, just football 👀

I just realised! Ekiteke came off the pitch at Brighton with a knock but has joined up with the French National team yesterday. As suspected clearly it wasn’t that bad. Don’t want to accuse but maybe it wasn’t as bad as he made out. Maybe he could’ve played on

@noahburnsgreen @empireofthekop Simply making the point that as midfielders from a defensive point of view none of them have been good enough, no need to leap to the defence of Szobo. It’s from a defensive standpoint which everyone has a responsibility for.

@RedRivelino @empireofthekop Szoboszlai has done as much as he possibly can. He can’t carry the whole midfield on his back every single week. Gravenberch and Mac Allister have to take responsibility. They’ve had terrible campaigns.

Graeme Souness on Liverpool midfield: "He's the most wonderful striker of the ball. [But] does he do the other side of it?" "When you're talking about pushing up to the halfway line and holding a high line, you can only do that when the rest of the players in front of you are pressing the ball all the time and keeping the head down of the man in possession. "Liverpool have not been very good at that this year." [via @talkSPORT]

For the record, City’s Khusanov. I rate that guy. Very good defender and only 22

@AnythingLFC_ If it was all about running then Milner should’ve been bossing the game but he wasn’t

This is a very WORRYING stat… Our midfield 3 getting outrun by 40 year old James Milner is ridiculous. Embarrassing in fact🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

@UsmanAl93547378 @FabrizioRomano Another thing Arsenal have been cheating on this season. Same thing happens with Saka. Plays all games then after playing the last game has an ‘issue’ stopping him from meeting up with the national team. Obvious cheating. As obvious as Saliba fouling keepers everyweek

@FabrizioRomano Like I said earlier, these guys are not injured, Arteta is keeping his best and reliable legs for the end of season run of the league. You’ll hear more Arsenal players withdrawing from their national duties. Saliba out! Gabriel out! Soon Saka & Zubimendi

🚨⛔️ Gabriel Magalhães has withdrawn from the Brazil squad due to right knee pain, statement confirms. Gabriel and Saliba (as announced yesterday) will both stay in London to recover.

@TaintlessRed Szobo like the rest of the midfielders aren’t shite without the ball. Szobo can run & harry but does he recover a lot of ball? turnovers? Tackles? Track runners in the defensive third? Win a lot of duels? He’s been our best player but doesn’t say much with this team this season

If you're going to criticise Szoboszlai you can't do it for pressing. Souness is right about the team not pressing well but wrong about targeting Szobo. Like when Keane went on a rant about Bruno when he was the Utd player always giving his all.

I can almost confidently say Danny Drinkwater in Leicester City’s title winning season was better than Declan Rice this season. He is so average it’s painful. He can’t impose himself on any quality team.

@empireofthekop He’s shite. What’s there to decipher

Not fit enough for Italy, but constantly brought on late in a game when Liverpool are chasing a win... Something's not adding up.

@EvansEdet @FabrizioRomano Whoever bought him. He wasn’t fit when he joined, took him a year to even be ready to play, he’d also lost his pace and explosiveness. So thanks to him really. He was finished before he started

@RedRivelino @FabrizioRomano All thanks to who ?

🚨❌ Federico Chiesa has withdrawn from Italy squad after medical checks confirmed he isn’t fit to play. In agreement with his club, the Liverpool forward has left the camp and Bologna striker Cambiaghi replaces Federico.

@Lfcbami3 Fans think he’s the same player as the YouTube highlights. That player is long gone. We have the shot version

I really thought Chiesa was not going to make us miss Diaz and going to do better than him Now I see why Juventus sold him to us 😭

A player who’s our current attacking option off the bench is deemed not fit enough for the national team after they already picked him wtf. We’re cooked

@EvansEdet @FabrizioRomano That player doesn’t exist anymore

@FabrizioRomano That’s sad he’s a clutch player i really wanted to see him ball for Italy in the qualifiers.

@adriandelmonte What happened to football man

World Cup 2006: 🇮🇹🏆 Buffon, Cannavaro, De Rossi, Del Piero, Gattuso, Inzaghi, Nesta, Pirlo, Totti, Zambrotta. 🇫🇷🥈 Abidal, Gallas, Henry, Makelele, Ribery, Thuram, Trezeguet, Vieira, Zidane. 🇧🇷 Adriano, Cafu, Emerson, Juninho, Kaka, Roberto Carlos, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho.

They clearly haven’t watched MacAllister this season. 4/10 for the season so far

@iam_commando He’s a Corneregista

DECLAN RICE: He is not a Regista (controls the tempo from deep) e.g Andre Pirlo and Jorginho. He is not a Deep-lying play maker (start attack from deep) e.g Xabi Alonso and Sergio Busquets. He is not a Box to Box (covers both defensive and attacking areas) e.g Steven Gerrard and Yaya Toure. He is not a Defensive Midfielder (destroyer/Ball winner who protects the defence and break up attacks) e.g Ngolo Kante and Casemiro. He’s not an Advanced play maker (creative midfielder) e.g Bruno Fernandes and Kevin De Bruyne. He’s not a Mezzala (an attacking central midfielder who drifts into half spaces to support attack) e.g Paul Pogba and Claudio Marchisio. He’s not a Carrilero (a midfielder who covers wide spaces and supports both full backs and midfield) e.g Arturo Vidal. He’s not a Trequartista (Operates between midfield and attack with freedom) e.g Francesco Totti. He runs the whole field busy doing nothing. Just burning calories. Hiding Midfielder.

😂😂 how this guy wins POTY is pure English PR
