Media coverage 2018/19

Absolutely spot on. Get their mistakes out of the way playing for the perennial losers surrounded by jokers like Henderson and Lingaard.

Do you think that Pep and the staff who focus on player analysis will have that? Will they fuck. Stones was trusted for one game in the run in and dropped an absolute stinker of a performance.

He's got an absolutely enormous season ahead of him. At the moment he's a huge concern.

From the BBC,

Liverpool’s Virgil van Dijk, mercilessly and totally inexplicably jeered by England's fans all night,

Was Sterling being booed ever described in such a way, *****!

maybe the penny will finally drop with BBC that nobody outside of their deluded fan base, and their over-represented friends in the media, actually likes Liverpool; so maybe they could temper their sicken!y biased coverage of them.

I doubt it though

Martin Tyler still peddling the myth that Delph injured Kane

Great poll on sky sports Twitter. Im not making this up.

Who is the best player in the world

Lionel Messi
Cristiano Ronaldo
Eden hazard
Virgil van dyke

Haha worse, VVD has 13 percent of the votes!!

How delusional are these cünts????
Virgil VanDickhead shouldn’t even be in the same same sentence as those players.
Last night proved his ‘hoofball’ tactics. Some of his clearances where pure Sunday league.

It's for another thread that debate. I predict he will be in the September squad after a good euros u21.

Agree with this

He doesn't concern me. A top quality player. He'll make a few mistakes during the season, as will the rest of our squad.

Redknapp actually name dropped Foden as an example of players who can come in and be comfortable receiving the ball in tight spots. Surprisingly insightful take from him.

If Pep trusts him, surely he’s good enough instead of Barclay.

There's no defending John Stones after that display tonight, the kid just doesn't learn, whatever shit the media throw at him tonight well he deserves it!

He will bounce back like he has done every time he’s made a mistake for us.

Clearly doesn’t trust Pickford like he does Ederson to take the pass and needs to adjust his game for England accordingly.

Still will be the best centre half in the world while he’s at City

Lets put all this into perspective before people slag of Stones. We are talking about England here, managed by Gareth Southgate

Anyone thinking Southgate is training this lot to pass it out from the back, training the players in where they need to position themselves so that the pass can be made to by-pass the press !!!Sorry but that aint happening.

There are players in that team who dont have a clue how to play it out from the back, and when you have someone like stones who does, but no-one takes up the correct position to receive the ball then it will make him look ordinary as he either gets closed down or as last night the receiver loses the ball and they score

A positive article yet again from Martin Samuel:

Stop. This is a very good article by the best sports journalist by far. However it is not positive it is neutral. Positive articles are reserved for those in red and talk about how great a club or player is. You think its positive because he is not trying to piss all over us.

Sorry for some reason this made me a touch ranty.
