ESPN FC should be headquartered in America.
The bias on this show would never be accepted abroad. You’d be ridiculed Steve and Craig for denigrating Man Utd deliberately and predictably. It’s not journalism but coddling executives bollocks in your mouths for money. Sad.
Nichol holds inner hate 4 liverpool , it seeps out every season
Always bringing a United player in your Liverpool conversation shows your obsession with Man United.
Nunez should only be used with 20 minutes to go when LFC are chasing a game . Please dont let him to.start any PL or UCL matches
why is the topic always negative?
Click bait headline , it hooked me !
Finally this fraud Nunez is being exposed. He has been freeloading at Liverpool for 2 years.
From jota is fit Nunez will be on the bench
Jota’s goal was the type of opportunity Nunez has missed and ended up dropping points
ESPN Liverpool propaganda mouth..
😂😂 it's just the first match to every player knows the season is long everyone get a chance nd in case of Darwin I don't think he is worried about position jota Diaz all r injury prone gapko and Nunez will get a chance
Liverpool become counter attacking team but no mentioned that
These 3 are a joke, one match and Nunez just joined the team from holiday and has barely trained, what does the British media do? they do what they do best and create a drama.
Also the analysis: Nothing changed
Mo Sala: It’s tactically very different.
You have no substance, all you have is creating drama to attract views
Wow such insight from ESPN. A player isn’t happy not playing! Who would have thought 😂
Slot said after the game he told the players to go more direct to beat the Ipswich man to man press in the 2nd half….come on Stevie you should have heard this 🙂 YNWA
What nonsense is that, which football player would be happy on the bench? Liverpool has just played one match and you already know that players are unhappy?
Why must you guys call rashford in a Liverpool analysis,
ESPN is so LAME
Jota is miles better than nunez. Anyone who cant see that is clueless
Darwin Nunez just isn't that good…he has all the looks of a footballer but can't find the 🥅
Normally, when you delete any sign you play for a club on instagram the bench is the best you can hope for.
Lets be really honest and clear. Its obvious what Darwin is good at, hes fast and wants to run in behind. Also is pretty good in the air.
These are all attributes that clearly aren't what Arne Slot wants upfront. He wants someone who gets involved in the build up more, someone with better technical abilities with the ball at his feet, someone who links up the play but can also be clinical when the chances fall. Jota is the closest thing to Bobby we have so that's why he plays.
I watched the las palmas game and it seemed everytime the ball went to Darwins feet it was miscontrolled or a heavy touch and it seems pretty clear that Arne either needs Darwin to improve these apsects of his game or he will be sold
It ‘feels’ like he’s unhappy on the bench…what a ridiculous statement
What's up with this bloke? So annoying now
First game of the season, cmon what do you expect?!!..
The Reds didn't get out of 3rd gear and didn't have to,.. 3 points All that matters and a clean sheet.
Take that every game… they'll improve… LONGGGGGG Season
Nunez's time will come
It wasnt a kick up the backside, it was tactical changes and obviously a discussion about what to do differently. These dinosaurs are forever stuck in their era
It’s been one game.
Would like to see nunez on the left instead of diaz
I love Nunez and I hope he gets minutes against teams that we put aside in the first half cus he needs confidence back and at some point we will need to rly on him, the season is long and filled with games every few days, hope he can find his mojo, we need the Nunez from the few games after his Newcastle heroics when he would just run rampant. He has it in him, look at his Uruguay performance.
Nunez has had no pre season- it’s called player management
Nicol was renowned for not being the brightest even in his glorious playing days, so some things never change…
ESPN is a gossip fan club….
ESPN doesn't report news they fabricate them…
It's the first game you can't expect everyone should be up to speed and sharpness
This is how media stsrt trouble at vlibs.who told you nunez was not happy. We didn't see that.focus on how well liverpool played in the second half that should be the conversation
Those goals were scored second half when we went bk to high press style that players are used too
Jota is a better striker than Nunez, so I'm happy Nunez is being benched atm.
his chance will come
Ipswich will get relegated for long period in the first half they were the better team make of that what you will but Liverpool will not be winning any title
It's the freaking 12:30 kick-off!! We always struggle in the 1st half of these early kick-offs! The fixtures' office is having a laugh already!
Click bait headline, it was explained already Darwin was late back to the Liverpool camp and not fully up to speed yet
So I know Klopp is more direct and vertical than Pep but they still had high possession numbers during his time at Liverpool
To answer Stevie's question, yes, Slot is possession based but has a lot of quick transition attacks at Feyenoord
Darwin does more for the team then Luis Diaz who is a waste of space. Darwin misses the chances that Luis Diaz has and he made a ridiculous meme out of and Luis Diaz really gets away with being below par a lot.
ESPN 🤡🤡🤡🤡 with click baited headlines, and Steve Nicol 💩 stirring! It's only 1 game played!
How it works with sponsorship deals is that you need to mention the sponsors even if only a word refers to the sponsor. It smells like manutd sponsors, espn fc. Why mention Rashford. During the season, it was all manutd and haven't stopped
At least he’s used to winning trophies unlike a certain Englishmen 😂😂😂😂😂
Wow a player on the bench isn't happy being on the bench? Wow, that's just unheard of man. Thank you Stevie Nicol for your uncharted wisdom.
