#LFC #YNWA Self-proclaimed exponent of eye tests in football. Expect sarcasm, tongue-in-cheek takes & mood swings. Zero patience for lazy sweeping statements & petty bickering. Blocks xenophobia & abusive rudeness, no exception.

Sweden are unwatchable.

Yeah. I’ve said it frequently. Virgil has pampered us.

My impression of him was that of a very good but not elite defender. Might be wrong but remember him a lot more as a left back.

Cartel Noc @nocturnalibpool.bsky.social · 17h

He’s improved loads hasn’t he? His name was bandied about years ago but never clocked he’s this good.

Schlotterbeck’s passing is as good as anything I’ve ever seen from a CB.

Went under the radar that in their previous game, Khephren Thuram made 92 out of 103 passes for France, won 5/5 of aerial duels, made 14 passes into the final third & had a shot on target.

Slowly but surely coming into his own for club & country.

with Florentino (Perez), and I told him I wanted him to partner me in midfield for [Real] Madrid."

“I know the club tried twice, but he wouldn't leave Liverpool. Not many players turn down Real Madrid but I think that tells you a lot about the loyalty of the man.”

Frenkie de Jong is the kind of player Liverpool needs.

His name is Adam Wharton.

Football, like fashion, goes in circles. The long throws, the set pieces, the soak & attacks ..:. We might be heading back in time.

🚨 𝗜𝗡𝗙𝗢 - @jfelixdiaz: There is a belief at Liverpool that Ibrahima Konate's commitment to Real Madrid is 'more than just a rumour'. The Frenchman is Spanish side's No. 1 target.

It’s looked a mess so far. Midfield non existent.

All these years of watching football, I still find it difficult to judge the level teams like Sweden & Switzerland are at, at any given point in time.

Default stance is they’re pretty mediocre.

Ekitike, Isak & Wirtz all start for their respective teams.

Might be a long night for Wales.

What a silly soft goal to concede.
