Liverpool Thread - 2023/24

Who’s been comparing Darwin Carroll to Julián, apart from you?

Every comparison I’ve seen, up until now, has been with Erling, and there is no comparison.

I'm comparing him, because they have almost identical records, but one is described as amazing and the other as a pile of shit.

Not being as good as Haaland doesn't make you shit, and clearly even the most absurd Liverpool fan stopped with the Haaland comparisons last Autumn. (although most seem to have some kind of weird amnesia and will argue that those comparisons never happened!!!).

The bit about Foden is nonsense, if they mean this season, but Darwin Nunez is definitely not rubbish.

His stats in the 18 months before he joined Liverpool were almost identical to Alvarez, and their goals/assists and playing time were very close again this season. Given Alvarez was playing in a much better side, and everyone seems to think he's wonderful, it's crazy to suggest Nunez was awful. Alvarez was clearly a bargain in comparison, but Nunez has talent, and has already scored more goals than Andy Carroll did for Liverpool.

Fair enough mate
To me he’s bang average

Same here, he's not much more than rashford or veghorst. Under klopp it's a different thing though. I can see him doing well this season.

Alvarez is a young £20m (if that) signing hoping to make an impact in a big league. Juande carrol was £75m, ready made superstar money that

He will improve but by how much we will have to wait and see.
Henderson it is funny as fuck watching that Irish clown moaning about Henderson as if he is an avid dipper follower.
These you tube cunts should be the last to moan about doing it for the money.They put fuck all into the game.
They seem to think that they are a better run and more successful club than City.
The truth must hurt .

To be fair, they are more successful. Not in the last 10 years, but overall the are.

Have they ever won a treble?

They have won the 'no frills' treble.

One was an absolute bargain, and the other overpriced, but they're similar ages (7 months apart), and came from similar level leagues, with very similar scoring records. Alvarez was even South American player of the year.

That only makes a difference if you're prejudging them though - what you cost makes no difference to how good you are, just whether you were good value.

I think Alvarez is brilliant, but if you think he did well last year (which he did), then Nunez's record was pretty similar. I suspect that Nunez's price messed up his confidence once he started finding it a bit trickier, but he's got a talent (even if he's also got the ability to hit row z on a regular basis).
