Sturridge is the type that really wants to have an effect on the game, and he's been fairly quiet so far, hasn't seen much of the ball, and its in situations like these that he goes to ground under little to no contact. I hope its just a phase for him.

 

[tri_willy]

someone ward off the ghost of ashley young outta sturry!

 

[Arnie]

Can't believe we lost to spurs twice.

I want to finish the season with a 10 goal aggregate over them.

I can't stand em.

 

[everthustodeadbeats]

Am I wrong? Why is Sherwood sitting around Liverpool scarves?

 

[FootballFan]

Didn't Ramos escape a red card yesterday?

nah bro, perfectly legal. Happened early the match too, but wouldn't have made a difference according to Suen. lolol

pathetic.

 

[Hixx]

Am I wrong? Why is Sherwood sitting around Liverpool scarves?

He'll be in the executive area. They'll probably be kids of the money mens.

 

[LegoArmo]

Eriksen getting so much space.

 

[KidA Seven]

The sad thing is that Sherwood beat Moyes.

 

[Yen]

Coutinho is often guilty of over-doing it.

 

[Ashes]

decent move.

 

[Arnie]

I reckon Brendan could turn Bentaleb into Vidal 2.0.

Buy him pls

 

[Fergie]

The sad thing is that Sherwood beat Moyes.

Even Les Reed would.

 

[Dutch Gronk]

nah bro, perfectly legal. Happened early the match too, but wouldn't have made a difference according to Suen. lolol

pathetic.

Ramos is a fantastic player, can be a really dominant defender, but dude is fucking clownshoes at times. It's like the oxygen doesn't reach his brain for a minute and he goes batshit insane.

 

[LegoArmo]

Thought that was over the line.

 

[Coldnoodle]

LLORIS DA GOD

 

[Fergie]

Could have been 3-0 there...



Soldado - flop of the season?

 

[FootballFan]

Wtf? I was sure that was a goal. Haha

 

[Wes]

Lloris save that? French octopus.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

What the...

I counted it

 

[KidA Seven]

Good shit to deny Sterling that assist son.

 

[K1LLER7]

Liverpool's high pressing is doing Tottenham.

Suarez should've scored.

 

[GorillaJu]

Damn I was sure that just about it made it over.

 

[Yen]

Even Les Reed would.

Even Les Dawson would.

 

[Zabojnik]

Liverpool GAF are understandably in shock, after years of Roy Hodgsons and abuse, they know better

But we know Zabo

We've seen this movie before

Coutinho is often guilty of over-doing it.

After two season of under-doing it at Inter. He needs this. Please understand.

 

[Fry]

Score Stevie

 

[FootballFan]

Messi - Truly the GOAT

Is this the video you were talking about on whatsapp? Hngg. Will watch after Liverpool.

 

[Coldnoodle]

Suarez pls...

 

[Jimrpg]

Huh? Under AVB we scored less than a goal a game and lost 6 and 5 nil in big games. Sherwood is simply not the man to fix the problems, all these same issues were there under AVB.

AVB almost got them in the champions league last season and they look further away at this point in time. Yep he lost those games by big margins but so have Man U arsenal.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Every time Suarez misses a FK Gerrard dies a little.

 

[Baconsaurus Rex]

Suarez is a dirty player

 

[GQman2121]

I'd love to know what Sherwood is thinking right now in the stands watching this.

 

[OriginalThinking]

Spurs suck. sack sherwood



Fwiw the question was not whos the best of all time. the question was who's the most entertaining. any professional footballer can do tricks during warmups like Messi. there are dozens of futsal players that can do more tricks on the beach than messi. the challenge is pulling it off in a real game, against tight defenders, like zidane/maradona/ronaldinho. and zidane was brutally efficient with his tricks too

Yeah, but that's a ridiculously subjective discussion. I'd argue that Barthez was ridiculously entertaining because he was a clown in goal.

And there's a reason that futsal players don't play professional football, it's because they can do it on a beach, but it's useless in the top levels of the professional game. Hence why Messi doesn't bother. Neither does Ronaldo any more, not because he can't do those tricks but because they are entirely unnecessary.

I'll tell you what's entertaining. When your team wins games, titles and scores goals. By that margin Messi is the best that's ever lived.

Want more entertaining? When a man beats his defender. Messi is probably the best dribbler of all time.

Want more entertaining? When a player scores a goal? Messi is probably in the top 10 finishers of all time. Chips, controlled pass into the net, lobs, rounding the keeper, rockets from outside the box, headers, volleys, chesting it in... right foot, left foot.

Want more entertaining? When a player makes an outrageous pass. Just watch that pass for Neymar in the Clasico. The perfect angle, pace and power. And he's chipped passes, lobbed passes, 1-2's, headed passes, outside of the foot. Sure he's never bothered with a rabona because Messi has a right foot so it would be totally unnecessary.

I loved watching Zidane, Dinho et all play, but I've never been as excited to watch a player as I have Messi. If your definition of entertainment is watching the equivalent of football seal tricks so be it. For the vast majority of us it's not.

Bale almost got them in the champions league last season and they look further away at this point in time. Yep he lost those games by big margins but so have Man U arsenal.

[Messi]

Was Zidane really that good?...Really?

 

[faridmon]

United lol

Already played Chelsea twice

Man City we have to hope for a draw.

haha forgot that we have played them already. I feel a bit better actually!

 

[Clegg]

Was Zidane really that good?...Really?

Is this an actual question?

If so, then yes he was that good. He was the player of his generation imo.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Was Zidane really that good?...Really?

What? Yes.

 

[Willkiller]

Was Zidane really that good?...Really?

I'll be honest, I'm always a little confused when he's mentioned in the GOAT discussion

 

[Sane_Man]

Suarez is a dirty player

Are you living in the 2012/13 season?

 

[caramac]

 

[Broder Salsa]

Was Zidane really that good?...Really?

Mohamed Zidane was.

 

[Zabojnik]

Was Zidane really that good?...Really?

He was certainly a much more interesting footballer to watch than the current C. Ronaldo and Messi. All Messi has going for himself is the insane ball control while running. All he does is run. Everybody knows this.

 

[Coldnoodle]

Suarez's reaction :lol

From celebration to shock and then despair.

 

[Messi]

I'll be honest, I'm always a little confused when he's mentioned in the GOAT discussion

Indeed

 

[subtles]

Oh, slept for a few hours.

It looks like I missed most of the nervy parts. :lol

 

[Salvadora]

He was certainly a much more interesting footballer to watch than the current C. Ronaldo and Messi. All Messi has going for himself is the insane ball control while running. All he does is run. Everybody knows this.

And he only scores tap-ins.

"Best player of all time," yeah right.

 

[GQman2121]

Was Zidane really that good?...Really?

He's the player in 98', when I started following the sport, that stood out to me as clearly being better on the ball than just about anyone playing around him.

 

[faridmon]

Was Zidane really that good?...Really?

The fuck?

He arguably best payer I have ever seen.

 

[Messi]

Oh, slept for a few hours.

It looks like I missed most of the nervy parts. :lol

There were no nervy parts...

 

[Yurt]

Was Zidane really that good?...Really?

Loool Irish Messi you can't be serious. He's the best player I have ever seen live.

But yeah, inconsistent at club level.

how can anyone watch Messi and say he's not entertaining? It's almost as good as watching Adnan really. Madrid's CR7 is the most boring superstar I have ever seen in my life.
