You'll Never Walk Alone #teamfred

Premier League disciples will have you believe that the only reason we can’t play this level of football is because our schedule is too intense and the players are too tired. That might be a contributing factor, but I’m afraid we also have to acknowledge that, as much as I love players like Rice, Caicedo, Saka, Palmer, James, Semenyo etc… the list goes on… they just aren’t quite at the same level. Which is fine, we’re talking about THE BEST players in the world. But we as Premier League fans do have a tendency to overrate players playing in England, particularly if they’re English!


This Is Anfield. Not A penny In The Ground. Scabs. Scouse Scabs.




Florian Wirtz adding disguise to almost every final 3rd action is one of the things I enjoy most about him. This is a simple pass into Salah before he gets the return and scores, but watch the detail. He opens his body and lifts his arms as if he’s about to do something else. Put yourself in Burns' shoes: is it a shot? A reverse pass into Gakpo? Or a clipped ball into Ekitike? That tiny layer of disguise creates doubt. And that doubt buys Wirtz and his teammate an extra second, a yard of space, and ultimately the advantage.

#MCIARS – 83' The referee’s call of no red card was checked and confirmed by VAR – with the action from Gabriel deemed not to be excessively aggressive or violent.
