  1. Why you didn't mention his third game in La Liga? He made a good pass on mbappe and also made a tackle. It seems like you're more fixated of him being put on the bench

  2. Being in the England squad has no relevance to anything. Plus trent has never been in favour with England. Henderson is in the squad, rashford is in. Means nothing.

  3. Because 9m pounds is not enough for english fans, they only care about money that's why they think they have the best league when la Liga eats them for 20 years in matches and trophies

  4. Kyle walker is not that man anymore I'm sorry. You can't use him to play at high line or allow him to push up. He used to be quick but that advantage has since faded with age

  5. 'Has Trent started well at Real Madrid?'
    "We don't know, it's too early to tell."
    Cheers lads for that outstanding insight I'm definitely gna subscribe so I don't miss out on more gems like that 🤦‍♂️

  6. TAA never reaches his finest ever since klopp departure imo. He rarely have good performance outside of Liverpool system during klopp era as well. Is not he's not good, his profile is too special for modern game. Good is rly good bad is rly bad

  7. As a Liverpool fan, I miss TAA. I bet he's getting homesick out there.. Although the exit could've been better, I won't pull a newcastle and start shunning him for spreading his wings and standing up for himself. Big up lad, I want to see you achieve big things.

  8. Well Arnold has started every single game he’s been available apart from one. The one game he didn’t start was against the worst team in la liga. Carvajal has had no pre season at all and came back from an injury and he is a club captain so Alonso is slowly getting him match fit so he can be ready whenever he is needed. Arnold has clearly been the starter and will continue to be

  9. To not have him in the squad is silly, he is the best passer in the team. Even if you prefer James, who I think picking seems pointless as he will get injured, at least put TAA on the bench to bring on as a game changer. How either Spence or Liveromento are ahead of him I just don't get, maybe one as they can both play right or left back but both is just pointless.
