Ludo*1 Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Juventus are up there as a top team as well. There's not many better defensive combos than Bonucci and Chiellini. (Barzagli as well, but he's looked done this season). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ftk Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 He’s also spent a helluva lot of money without any actual success. Depends what you are looking for tbf.He has raised Liverpool to top 5 in Europe which is no mean feat even with a bucketful of money. Man Utd would love to have him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMMjag Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Some effort from the English media to try and spin a hard luck story out of that. Liverpool believed their own hype and played right into Barca's hands, getting absolutely creamed in the process and lucky to escape without a six goal deficit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 There's a good case to.be made he's Liverpool's best player these days, and certainly most consistent. The biggest compliment I could pay him is if he was slightly better technically he could almost play for Barcelona.Keith Jackson will be using that to write a ‘Robertson To Barcelona’ puff piece within hours. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gianfranco Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 To not play well and win 3-0 is the sign of a good team. Liverpool are going to regret those missed chances. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PSG are a great team if you disregard the requirement to be mentally strong to compete at the very highest level. They are a fine team but have yet to prove they are better than that IMHO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordi Alba is the best LB in the world and will be at Barca for a while yet. But I have no.doubt were Barca looking for a LB (they actually are but only as back-up) Robertson would be one of.the handful they would be considering. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onwards . Well the fans and players seem to love him so maybe trophies aren’t as important to Liverpool as they were in the 80’s and 90’s. I still think IF this season you end up with nothing it will be a failure give you were 9 points clear in league in December and the standard in CL has not been great.

In fact, rope a dope is not a thing at all in football. Yes it is, you just watched it. Barca have done that a dozen times this season.

Ludo*1 Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 7 minutes ago, Mr. Brightside said: Bonucci is mince, has been since he went to Milan. I reckon that's more to do with the fact that he's a much better CH in a 3 where he can just dominate strikers whilst relying on Chiellini and Barzagli to cover for him positionally. Since Barzagli has been dropped/age caught up with him he could be more exposed and Chiellini can't do 2 jobs (Even if he is the best in the world IMO). Still wouldn't say he's mince though, hard to find many better defensive units than Juventus. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do the bookies still pay out on a win when the other team dominated for 15 mins at the start of the second half? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
