Harsh on Endo tbh.

When asked what his initial team was, before he realised it was only 1 player per club, he said it was basically Liverpool.

I take it you donā€™t remember Roy Keanesā€™ tackle on Alfie Haaland?

You are so wrong. PL team of the season is

Kelleher
Bradley Gomez VVD Tsimikas
Elliott Endo Jones
Salah Nunes Diaz

I do.
Is he playing on Sunday?

No, but when you end someones career the way Keane did and end up being made club captain, that tells me everything I need to know about the club and itā€™s values.

I wouldnā€™t trust any of those cunts as far as I could kick them

The most recent one. Pogba with a cynical tackle on Naby.

It was a dreadful tackle, but it did more damage to Keane than it did to Alfe. He was already scheduled for an end of season surgery to address long standing issues with his knee, but after that tackle he still finished the game and played in the next few including an international.

Yes.
And Ronaldo on Curtis Jonesā€¦

Lets be honest though.
The Everton level of thuggery isnā€™t there.

Those tackles or incidents are more individual cuntism, as in Roy Keane or absolute frustration by Pogba or Ronaldo.

Sure.

But Lisandro and Casemiro are dangerous serial foul commiters. Especially Lisandro, always feel heā€™s got the small man syndrome and hence he goes in flying into shit challenges.

The likes of Rodri , Rice , Casemiroā€¦

If the referee punishes them the first time they do that tactical foul bullshit. Preferably within the first 4 minutes, then that takes them down quite a bit.

The Pogba one seemed more like self-preservation. He was embarrassed at not starting the game, and was then brought on at half time in a game they were already losing 4-0 in what was a hopeless task. He quickly saw a 5th go in and just thought he didnt want to be out there anymore. Not malicious, just pathetic cowardice. The problem is there is a lot of potential for that sort of thing to happen on the weekend even if there arent that many players there with reputations for thuggery.

Very odd pick of Trent though.

I donā€™t think heā€™s had the best of seasons and Bradley played a month or so of it.

Youā€™ve got Grav and Salah ahead of him for starters and Iā€™d probably say Maca, VVD and Gakpo as well.

If Amorim sets out a team remotely like that disastrous no-hope midfield, it is something that will occur to quite a few players. Better to ā€˜show passionā€™ and take a week off than stand around and be humiliated.

It shows that performance from McFred in the 5-0 in a different light. They were required to press but never got near the ball the entire game and were mocked incessantly for their ineptitude even by their own fans. But they were a midfield that was already outnumbered by a man due to the respective formations, but then also having a forward line including Ronaldo, Bruno, and Rashford that did absolutely nothing. Yet at no point did either of them stop running. They were set up to fail, but they both did their jobs as best the could regardless and were let down by the manager and team mates.

Iā€™m not a huge fan of Mac when he does his tacklesā€¦

Sure thereā€™s no intent there he gets punished for it too ā€¦ and thatā€™s something that is required for the hatchet man. Quite a lot of corrupt AF referees looking to screw over Liverpool every chance they get.

The point is that you never saw Rodri , Rice getting punished the way he does.
