If you can move the ball quickly, can read the game & have good intensity off the ball then you don’t need “power”. Also Messi isn’t solid as a rock, he’s smart he’s always got his body in front of the player trying to intercept. Players can’t fully commit because it’s a straight yellow or even potential red, which makes him look like he’s bouncing off players. He’s fast, technically gifted & always has his body in front of his man. You almost never see the great man on the seat of his pants unlike some of our guys. When push comes to shove we do not shove hard enough. We are not Man. City yet you know and its going to be a while before we can reach that level. Liverpool realise that muscle is very useful at the top level hence Fabinho, Henderson and Chamberlain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best form of defending isn’t about grit it’s about intensity. Look at Man City, Liverpool, Tottenham (Under Poch), Barca, Ajax... all these amazing teams are brilliant at winning the ball back not because of power or grit but because of the intensity off the ball. We will have to agree to disagree on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the surface I thought this unnecessary right now but our forward planning is often our strongest asset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we already negotiated a price for the summer …. we have increased it to get him now because we need him as cover re mendy's injury … no guarantee that wilf wont suffer a reaction …... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody is sure as it’s proving tough to find the 3 minute video of his skills from 2 seasons ago which we normally base that decision on. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
