The Liverpool/Rodgers love-in on The Football Ramble has made me all warm and fuzzy inside <3

The article in the Times didn't help much either.

 

[Messi]

classic Iniesta

Jurt Pls stop hating

 

[Draconian]

You'd rather Mou? I'd prefer neither personally but if I had to choose between them I would go with Moyes. Mou breeds success but he's so unlikeable, the success would be bittersweet because of my detestment towards the guy.

Is this a joke post? I guess when Wenger's been your manager for 18 seasons, you lose all perspective, eh?

 

[subtles]

I can't believe that. You've even got current Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho as your avatar.

You seem to be suffering so much that everyone must look like Mou. You miss him at inter that much?

Mourinho can only hope the manager in my avatar stays where he is.

I pray all the time United never find him.

This one?

EDIT:

lol @ comments

Yes. Despite the elevation on the ball and the pressure from the two players, he still controlled that ball and moved into space. It's sensational. This was also Bielsa's Bilbao that pressed and controlled space relentlessly.

 

[Salazar]

she asked if I had any plans on Friday, I said no.

I'm retreating into bachelordom. You would facepalm very hard at the reason.

Mourinho brings the glory as I'm sure you're aware.

Red or Blue. I can't decide. What do u think, guys?

 

[Yurt]

the Academy graduate buckled down in training, to such an extent that before the Goodison derby he [Brendan] stopped a session and told his players to give Flanagan an ovation,

Brendan pls

I'm retreating into bachelordom. You would facepalm very hard at the reason.

LOOOL why? Do tell!

Red or Blue. I can't decide. What do u think, guys?

Never go nerazzurro.

Red. It's more BAAAAAAAAYYYYYYEEEEERRRRRNNNNN-like. Suits you.

An&#64257;eld No.10 Coutinho said:

&#8220;Playing with a ball made out of old socks, or even a bottle top, made you learn to love a proper football."

&#8220;It was the same for Luis and playing street football has definitely helped our understanding together at Liverpool."

&#8220;There is not much space to play in the Premier League and teams try to stop us, especially at An&#64257;eld."

&#8220;It helps if you can see the little bits of space we learned to exploit on the streets.&#8221;

Coutinho wants to help the Kop side claim a Champions League spot, adding: &#8220;The first aim is for us to reach the Champions League."

&#8220;And if I do well here, the chances of me being invited to play for Brazil at the World Cup increase.&#8221;

I don't like either tbh

Black, white, or in rare cases, silver.

It's like the 3DS all over again! I really wanted any of the aforementioned color options instead.

Its weird that we have two very distinct attacking partnerships, who seem to have a telepathic understanding

Coutinho works remarkably well with Sturridge, and Sterling & Suarez seem like they've spent years together on the traning pitch

Sturridge/Coutinho has really surprised me. Coutinho's slump of form also coincided with Sturridge's injury. If we can get all three to combine we'll be going places.

The absolutely love the joy you can see on Suarez's face when Sterling scores. You can tell they have a good relationship.

I also very much enjoyed the bit on Saturday where Wilshere was having a bit of pop at Sterling, and then Cissokho came and squared up to him and Jack looked petrified.

 

[dc89]

Three GOAT's back in training!

 

[LTWheels]

I think Suarez's goals have dried up a bit recently because Henderson is playing deeper so they link up less.

Coutinho links up much better with Sturridge than Suarez. Think that's because Suarez's positioning is so erratic that Courinho can't pick out the right pass for him.

Suarez plays better off little flicks and short balls than through balls. That's something that Henderson is better than Coutinho at.

BCutz and LCatz are being unleashed in the same team tomorrow

tell your midfield to prepare their ankles

 

[Ushojax]

Spurs have been rocked by the news that defender Vlad Chiriches is out for six weeks.

The setback is a blow for boss Tim Sherwood with his team battling for a place in next season's Champions League.

Scans have shown that a back injury that has kept the £8.5million Chriches on the sidelines since the end of last month are more serious than first thought.

*sigh*

At least Kaboul is back.

 

[FootballFan]

Imagine they would have gotten Pep and Thiago.

btw FootballFan. What kind of standing did Thiago had in Barca? Here in Bayern he became one of the best important players in a shorttime. Directing the game, scoring goals and having a shitton of ball contacts. When I watched Barca in the past he never really caught my attention to be honest.

How didn't he catch your attention in that preseason game where he kicked your ass.

Unfortunately those were his moments to shine for us. Cesc, Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets. Kinda hard to break into the team with those guys there.

Some Barca fans thought he was overhyped/not any good. But that is the ridiculous bar the barca-bros have. Do some amazing stuff in midfield while you are 18-20, but miss a few passes = meh player.

Thiago was still great for us imo. Probably can find in my post history that I would have rather lost Cesc during that window. He has the potential to literally be one of the best midfielders in the world.

Such an exciting player. Dribbles, controls play, passes, dat vision and skill. He was a mix of Dinho and Xavi. Our most talented youngster in a loooong time.

Too bad it didn't work out. Moyes could really have used him too

Spoiler

on the wing

. When Pep comes out to say "I want Thiago and only Thiago" then you know he's good

 

[Zabojnik]

Wolfsburg's Maximilian Arnold, any good?

Porto's Fernando, any good?

 

[Hixx]

Why is this so funny

 

[bjaelke]

I also very much enjoyed the bit on Saturday where Wilshere was having a bit of pop at Sterling, and then Cissokho came and squared up to him and Jack looked petrified.

 

[LegoArmo]

I honestly think I could do a better job at managing Manchester United. Am I crazy? Do we all think the same thing?

 

[Hixx]

Hendy is always telling people to shut the fuck up it's not very becoming of a northern gentleman.

 

[Yurt]

rly?

No.

 

[Kyoufu]

I'm just amazed that those average plebs like Cleverley and Young won the league last season.

Fergie is an incredible manager.

Iturbe "I do not know anything about my future. Certainly Juventus are a real team, the strongest in Italy, and who would not [want to play there]?"

Please shut up

That's cause he's all talk. Angling to rile someone up and get them sent off, but when things actually get heated, you won't see anyone backpedal quicker. Was the same against Dembele in the FA cup.

*sigh*

At least Kaboul is back.

You say that, but he'll dislodge his little toe tomorrow morning and we'll lost Vertonghen to a freak Vine accident. Capoue at CB again.

I've not seen us get injured this much in such a long time, must be a training issue right? Thank god we bought a billion players though.

 

[LegoArmo]

Football isn't too hard, you can have average players in probably 4 or 5 positions as long as they do the basics right. Give the ball to the more talented guys, and work hard.

 

[Mastadon]

Rodgers has said that Teixiera is in contention for the first team after impressing for the reserves.

Yes pls.

 

[Gareth Bale]

I honestly think I could do a better job at managing Manchester United. Am I crazy? Do we all think the same thing?

Yeah at the moment I reckon I could. I'd need the first team coach to take training but I think once I got it across how I wanted to play results would improve.

 

[subtles]

I remember that bar fight Wilshere started only to hide scared in the background. Haha

 

[LTWheels]

I've noticed that when Brendan wants to deviler instructions to the team he calls over Henderson. Against Arsenal Henderson was the one organising our defenders when Arsenal had a set piece. And he is our player that gets in the other players and ref's face.

However, when he heads the ball he does check if his hair has not been knocked out of place.

The look he gave Brendan when Suarez gave him the captain's armband. Felt sorry for him when he was made to run and give it to Skrtel.

 

[FootballFan]

Get a Bayern logo on the red one and you are ready to go.

I'm guessing he's in training to replace Gerrard as the main man in the middle. Hopefully, he'll be good enough, though Gerrard was a lot better at his age.

I hate the cunt, but that that is the exact same with Flamini. We have missed him so much. That stupid red card has cost us big. At least he will be back for the FA cup match. I don't think we would have been so poor against you had he been in there.

 

[Fry]

I still can't believe we beat Arsenal 5-1.

 

[Broder Salsa]

I'd much rather Moyes than Mourinho.

Red or Blue. I can't decide. What do u think, guys?

Both ugly as fuck. Can't you get a black one?

 

[LegoArmo]

I love Henderson, he's the little engine that could.

 

[FootballFan]

I don't know if you can find the clip, but there was this one moment where he cushioned a long ball (from the keeper iirc) with one of the most beautiful first touches I've ever seen and the Camp Nou purred, then went into applause.

The Nou Camp.

Where some of the most gifted players have and continue to play. That lad is special.

You mean this

or

this

Edit
In the first link, look at Muniain's reaction when it shows the replay lol. Even he is surprised.

 

[qindarka]

You wouldn't care a jot if he was at your club and winning things. But carry on, pretend to be so principled.

First time touches are for players that can't first time pass.

Not yet! You play them on the 19th!
