Game changing footballers should be on the pitch as much as possible

MacAllister’s rep as a “technical” midfielder is so misplaced. Must be because he won a World Cup and is diminutive. Lacks calmness. Lacks consistent execution in passing. He is also poor off-the-ball so he doesn’t actually do anything to a Champions League calibre. Giveaway for Brentford goal is typical of him making a brain frazzled pass despite this rep as “technical”. He is a big root cause issue for Liverpool in terms of both keeping out goals and scoring them.

Congratulations to Karun ChandCock for winning the worst and most arse licking commentary of all time.

Jamie Carragher on transfers: “Liverpool have money to spend, they haven’t spent for a couple of years. They need a new left back, centre forward and an attacking midfielder.”

It is.

Dave is not right and neither are you. I could point out atleast 10 league games in the second half of the campaign where he was the best midfielder on the pitch.

Szobozlai acting a bit too cocky, that wasn't the winner, what are those gestures. We are lucky to get a point here??

Neeraj Chopra is who he is for his consistency. 6 straight years if not more. Yet the hunger is the same and he is determined to make this comeback count. Could have come back to India post Glasgow and made a few crores from felicitations. Did not and started training from the very next day. Agreed Rumesh Pathirage is having the best year of his life. But it is one year. Let us see what he does in the next two before we call him nemesis etc. Passing a judgment is premature. More when it’s Neeraj. Having spoken to him in Glasgow, know what it means to him to make a success of this comeback. @RevSportzGlobal

If Indian cricket team loses final of an ICC Championship, how do we feel? Do we celebrate on being runner-ups or are sad about failing to win the cup?

People crying about no left footer can shut up now. Barcola, Isak and Minteh is an Iraola front line

🤔 #LFC have 31 senior over-21s players after Ronald Araujo took up their 17th and final non-HG spot. But with both Jeremy Jacquet and Giovanni Leoni not eligible for List B, they need to create another two spaces. And that's before they sign anyone else. liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/fo…

I'm sorry, but Endo should not be going into his fourth season at a club like Liverpool.

I'd keep Gakpo this season even if we sign 2 more forwards in addition to Munoz, particularly with no guarantees over Ekitike's return. Shouldn't be relying on Ngumoha no matter how good a prospect he is. It's a long season. Gakpo has proved in the right team he can deliver.

People are gonna' get on Matt for putting Cruise at #6 but honestly I'm starting to get wobbly on 'Digger' myself

🇦🇷 Liverpool Must Make a Ruthless Mac Allister Decision Yesterday I wrote about Liverpool's attack and plenty of people asked why I was overlooking the defence and midfield. I wasn't. I simply believe every part of this squad deserves the same ruthless examination, and midfield begins with Alexis Mac Allister. This isn't about disrespecting a wonderful footballer. Mac Allister has been outstanding for Liverpool. He helped deliver the Premier League title, brought intelligence, composure and grit to the midfield, and for long spells he elevated those around him. He's earned every ovation. Football, though, has little time for sentiment. What matters now is whether Alexis Mac Allister fits the football Andoni Iraola wants Liverpool to play over the next four or five years. With no new contract discussions taking place, it seems Liverpool have already decided. And for me, the answer is increasingly no. The demands are changing, the intensity is rising, and Liverpool need midfielders capable of sustaining relentless pressure for 90 minutes. Mac Allister looked a yard short too often last season, whether through fatigue, circumstance or simple wear and tear. Explanations exist, but they don't alter the reality. With 2 years remaining on his contract, Liverpool still hold a valuable asset. This feels like the right moment to cash in if the right offer arrives. La Liga appears the obvious destination, with Atletico Madrid frequently mentioned, where his technical quality could flourish in a slightly slower paced environment. Liverpool cannot stand still. Curtis Jones also looks destined to depart, and that opens the door for genuine renewal. Adam Wharton has the authority and intelligence to anchor this midfield for years, while Lamine Camara brings the energy and athleticism this side increasingly requires. Keep an eye on Chema Andrés too. The interest feels genuine and a buy now, loan back arrangement could be exactly the sort of forward planning that successful clubs make. Great teams evolve before decline forces their hand. Liverpool have reached that crossroads in midfield. If difficult decisions are made now, they won't ever diminish what Alexis Mac Allister achieved. They will simply acknowledge that football never stops moving, and neither should Liverpool.

India has hugely underachieved in Boxing over last three Olympics (luck with draws being a major reason!). Current squad is the strongest we’ve ever had, especially on the women’s side. These CWGs, at best, are the right stepping stone for us to enter the LA cycle, but just that!
