I love you, you play my Trent: Liverpool 21/22

[Numbers]

In my biased personal opinion he is the best player in Europe right now, probably the world.

Has been for a few years to be fair.

Yup but Messy and Penaldo have stolen the spotlight beyond their time.

Klopp on Mohamed Salah:

"His performance was massive today. The pass for the first goal was great and the second goal was special. He is top. We all see it. Who is better than him? We don't have to talk about what Messi and Ronaldo have done for world football and their dominance. But right now, he is the best."

 

[Badgers]

Claudio Ranieri suffered his biggest ever Premier League defeat, while no manager whose first game with a club in the competition came at home has suffered a bigger margin of defeat (also Alan Smith with Crystal Palace v Liverpool in August 1994, 1-6)

 

[Badgers]

 

[T & P]

Over their entire career lifespans might be a different argument, but right now he’s the best forward in the world by a country mile in my book.

 

[Dandred]

It's not that he is just the best forward player, he gets back when needed and does just as a good job.

 

[Numbers]

Having watched him at the Bees recently and watching Kante y/day, it feels like such a privilege/dream/treat to see proper world class players up close. I keep having to pinch myself.

 

[Badgers]

Bobby is the first Brazilian to score multiple hatricks in the PL

 

[Badgers]

With that goal from Salah and the Bobby hatrick the 100th goal for Mané.

3rd player in premier league history to score 100 PL goals without scoring any penalties.

The third African player to reach that milestone after Didier Drogba and Mo Salah.

 

[Badgers]

Mané, Salah and Firmino have scored 12 goals in their last three games.

All three are in our top 20 goal scorers of all time.

Firmino is 20th, ahead of Stubbins, Suarez and Torres.

Mane is 17th ahead of Keegan and Toshack.

Salah is 10th ahead of St John.

 

[Steel Icarus]

I think I preferred Sadio's goal to Mo's, the distance the ball travelled at speed, the perfection of both the through ball and the finish, breathtaking quality.

 

[Badgers]

 

[two sheds]

Love the crowd reactions to that

 

[Zapp Brannigan]

I thought Firmino's first was the pick of the goals. Absolute precision team goal, 4 or 5 sharp passes and perfect runs to walk the ball in.

 

[Badgers]

Kit????

 

[Badgers]

 

[cybershot]

Good game this.

 

[Numbers]

Kit????

Copying Bees away??? (except the Axa tops)

 

[Lord Camomile]

So, uh, yeah... probably a penalty

<edit: NB: this was about the Liverpool penalty, not the Atletico one >

 

[steveo87]

Well that was intense.

 

[Maggot]

What an eventful game.

 

[Badgers]

Fell asleep

Need to dig out the highlights this morning.

Salah the first player in LFC history to score in 9 games straight

 

[Badgers]

Apparently a big game this weekend

Questions...

1. Score predictions?

2. If you had to swap 3 players from the Liverpool strongest starting 11 for 3 ManUre players from their strongest starting 11 who are they?

Fred would have to be in there surely?

Maybe Pogba but that's it.

Maybe Pogba but that's it.

I would have gone for Greenwood, Shaw and Fernandes

 

[Steel Icarus]

None
