going to Chelsea or Lpool? The probability is Lpool will likely get better as the season progresses, while we don't know what U will get with Chelsea? During the weekend, ruffled Ars and a few days later beaten by Leeds?
Van Dijk is overrated he is no Sergio Ramos who can do risky tackles for his team to win games and trophies plus van dijk is not even top 50 defenders in football history and richarlison rooney were right about van dijk
Steve and Craig have this genetic hatred against Chelsea FC. Caicedo chose Chelsea over Liverpool, Lavia chose Chelsea over Liverpool, Torres left Liverpool for Chelsea.
You’ve never seen a 34 year old defender get criticized like this in your life. Never ever. 😂 man is catching strays like he’s in the prime of his career.
I saw one person here say “Rooney was right about VVD”…yea was he? Rooney was scoring at the buffet at age 34 let alone a top premier league player lmao
YEEEEEAAAA STEVEEEEE! It's a fooooookin mess! The players are there in abundance, the system is nowhere to be seen, where are you system Slot 👀 hello system Slot… Come in system Slot 👀
Bless Stevie, he thinks because Liverpool have won the league twice in 35yrs, they are somehow the club every players dreams of playing for 😂 Reality is, they got super fortunate with Klopp and now they will return to being an average cup club again.
These old dinosaurs need to get off the panel. They offer nothing in terms of intelligent opinion. It's just rose tinted rubbish, with absolutely no knowledge of the modern game. The fact they think any player should choose an old ageing Liverpool over a young, talented Chelsea team is absolutely hilarious. I'm an Arsenal fan, by the way, and I can't stand Chelsea. Liverpool is absolutely washed as a club, and it's only going to get worse. At the end of last season, I said Slot would get the sack the following season because I knew he was a fraud, and would be exposed once he had to rebuild Klopps team. People rightly thought I was crazy. Liverpool havent been a domestic powerhouse house since the 80s, and they haven't defended a league title in over 40 years. Their fans are absolutely deluded, and it's because of the constant rubbish analysis by pundits like Stevie and Craig. 😂😂😂😂
Im fckn done with Liverpool. I hope Arsenal win it even thought Arsenal fans are so annoying for people who havent won ANYTHING AT ALL…but city fans are worse! LIverpool I'm not watching your games for my sanity and the people depend on me. I'm no masochist. As long as that bobble head is still in charge I'm expecting losses and call me whatever you like…yes I'm not a "real fan" like you. I'm just done

Just drop VVD…he is a liability now
VVD is finished at Lpool…list his legs, slow in recovery, doesn't tackle… he's a liability now
4 their Liverpool ALL excuses‼️🙄
4 City ALL jealousy and just hate huh 🤔⁉️🙄
They won’t even admit that Sunderland deserved an away win‼️
Did Craig just wake up from a nap? All the product in the world ain't getting that cowlick down, lol.
Isak never gets any pass from his team mate unlike Haland who always get the ball from his team mates.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I love seeing Stevie this Karma don’t play
We weaker with Salah should have never brought him on
Stevie saying Liverpool have recently won the champions league in a comparison to Chelsea is crazy 😂😂😂😅

🗣"But Chelsea are world champions": The awkward mocking laughter really got me. 🤣🤣🤣
Chelsea or Lpool to win UCL in 2025/26? Both: low chance…. PSG, Bayern Munich, Ars et al are ahead of both
Ekitike is the better option upfront. He offers more. But Slot is pushing him out of the team.
Van Dijk is overrated he is no Sergio Ramos who can do risky tackles for his team to win games and trophies plus van dijk is not even top 50 defenders in football history and richarlison rooney were right about van dijk
Consistency is a big thing for defender, that’s why someone like Nesta is unreachable for someone like Virgil

Good to see Dan back 🙂
No discussion how well Sunderland played

Once again no credit from the ESPN panel on an outstanding SAFC performance, that brims with organisation and discipline. Shocking!
My morning bread
The data said release VVD and Salah. We kept them then signed incompatible players to play alongside them.
Guehi knows his place will be secured in Liverpool, either replacing Konate or succeeding VVD eventually
What is Stevie saying? Chelsea won the champions league in 2021. More recently than Liverpool 😂😂
VVD can't event defend, just shield his body … go n tackle the ball !
isak is not the player that Liverpool need, for how they set up to play their game… sadly.
Still blaming Salah Nicol?
VVD is good at waving his arms about and blaming others whenever something goes wrong. Terrible captain.
Give Stevie the Liverpool Manager role 😂. I'm sure they will be relegated
YEEEEEAAAA STEVEEEEE! It's a fooooookin mess! The players are there in abundance, the system is nowhere to be seen, where are you system Slot 👀 hello system Slot… Come in system Slot 👀
Everyone dissapointed watching Isak, except newcastle supporters:) HTL 5:00
Psv killed this Liverpool team, and this Muppets are saying Chelsea has no chance 😅
Why is the goals Cardi V defending identical him twerking never close down the ball lazy don’t want to get hurt.
Isak & Wirst is the worst signing ever! 250million down the drain 😂
This the Liverpool week in week out that i dearly missed. Please stay Arnieee Slot 😂. Please give him lifetime contract 🙏🏻

Phew.. at least nowadays it's not Trent's fault 😊
Virgil Van Pipe
The Defense is shameful 25 goals received. WOW, and the coach is not great.

He is the reason they almost lost.

This manager is a 🤡
Nicol should be beaming after rescuing a point, Sunderland ROBBED
SALTY boys
Pundits wont mention VVD is 34yo. Most legend CBs are already retired or playing in Saudi or MLS by that age. These guys are human.
