Just realised it's an all english super cup too. Let's win the double

In most of the games he never locks down the opposing winger and for a supposed speed merchant, he hardly ever takes on the opposing fullback in a foot race and even when he has space to cross he, more often than not, hits the first defender.
I would happily brush those weaknesses aside if he could do half of this

How can his crossing be just average or good lol. His passing and crossing is better than anyone in our entire squad. It's like having a faster and more mobile Sergi Roberto at RB and only 20.

I think some of our guys don’t watch Liverpool enough. Offensively, this guy has been a marvel.

Bold Tone

Guilty as charged.
I hardly watch them and poo pooed the below compilation when my pool mates tried to big him up to me last year.
The lad was just 19 years old.

As Xhaka should note, he makes difficult passes with both feet and now he is 20 he has shown progression.
The outside of the boot cross-field pass is mad impressive

Clrnc

Yeah I saw that before in real time. I like that he is good with passes with both feets. Lucky Liverpool to have him from the academy really.

Claudius

Our academy has been a disaster. To have only pushed through a broken Jack from an early age; and Ramsey, Fabregas and Bellerin in recent memory - is just not good enough.

While Ramsey was a huge talent when we bought him as well.

MuswellHillGooner

Cardiff City's youth coaches would be offended by us claiming him

I think if Liverpool beat Spurs, I will cease my hatred for them. I remember the pain in Paris '06. Any club that inflicts that kind of pain on the scum are friends to me.

Same.

Apart of me also thinks Liverpool deserve something from this season as well.

I think losing the title will only make them hungrier to win the CL but I’m really worried about Klopp’s finals record.

Liverpool will win. Their attack is the sort Spurs defence struggle to handle. Can see Sadio Mane tearing them apart

The biggest threat to Liverpool will be Eriksen.

Think VVD handles Kane

We completely revamped our academy, yet our best product was a player who joined before the change. He who must not be named.

Ramsey, Fabregas nor Bellerin can be considered ours. Jack of course was, but he was too busy sharing fags with Szczesny and breaking legs (his own).

A big part of it is that we are competing against Chelsea, West Ham, Tottenham, Fulham, Charlton amongst others all within the city for local talents.

Bellerin absolutely can be considered: A tremendous amount of work at the academy went into turning him into a good fullback.

Szczesny and Wilshere are credits to the academy too.

I wonder if one of them will make it a point to talk about what it takes to lead a team to a cup victory as manager.

Gazza M

i wonder if jose has the stones to make slick comments about wenger never having won the cl to his face

flobaba

Wouldn’t regard such behavior exactly as courageous. Just more of the same classlessness and rudeness.

And I wouldn’t put it past him. That’s just what he is.

Shady

If Spurs win on Saturday, then I am done with football. And I'll say good riddance to it all.

Ricky1985

I thought your happiness level was invulnerable to football results?

This will help me to achieve that goal.

I really can't be fucked with this final personally. Whatever happens will happen, and Arsenal will still suck. It's the latter that bothers me.
