    is that the theory behind Madrid winning it about 59 times in the 50s and 60s?

    or were they just a very good team?

    Good article here on players who had better careers after liverpool than at Liverpool.

    I was delighted for Aspas - always got the feeling that he did his very best to succeed but it just didn't work out for him. He was very emotional after his goal in the FA Cup

    bit of both, they had no-one to really beat but they were incredibly good. Di Stefano and Puskas alone would have got into any team ever, except maybe our current forward line :)

    Suso looked a prospect at Liverpool, I remember questioning his non involvement at the time https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=92328671&postcount=4536

    Aspas didn't show anything at Liverpool outside that initial preseason run. He was like a cat caught in headlights at Anfield.

    no surprise, the way we play we're not dominating in midfield - tiki taka we use full backs, counter and bring the forwards into it asap

    Fabinho was right up there with De Jong as one of the best midfielders from the UCL knockout stages onwards, but his adaption period in the first half of the season definitely cost him any chance of making that list.

    I'll be shocked if he isn't making these shortlists this time next year though, as long as he stays fit.

    Wijnaldum was solid too, but I don't think he deserved to make the cut either over any of those names.

    How did KDB make the list though when he barely played last season..

    Going take shot at this
    1. Allison
    2. TAA
    3. de Ligt
    4. VVD
    5. Robertson
    6. De Jong
    7. Eriksen
    8. Messi
    9. Mane
    10. Salah
    11. Ronaldo

    Henderson lifts the CL Trophy and can't even make the list of 55. That's a kick to his self worth. He's clearly not rated out side of Anfield
    Toxic Pogba makes the list, Mr Half Effort, yet Henderson who gives it all and lifts the CL is snubbed

    Matip was better than VVD in the second half of the season and no love for him either.

    Looking at the list its a bit of a joke position, De Bruyne is fantastic but missed what felt like 90% of the last year. Most of the players, especially ones from Real Madrid were so massively out of form to the point its a bit of a laugh their in it. Might as well throw Xavi & Pirlo in if Vidal & Kroos make it :pac::pac:



    Sergio Busquets (ESP) - FC Barcelona
    Casemiro (BRA) - Real Madrid
    Kevin de Bruyne (BEL) - Manchester City
    Frenkie de Jong (NED) - Ajax / FC Barcelona
    Christian Eriksen (DEN) - Tottenham Hotspur
    Eden Hazard (BEL) - Chelsea FC / Real Madrid
    N'Golo Kante (FRA) - Chelsea FC
    Toni Kroos (GER) - Real Madrid
    Arthur Melo (BRA) - FC Barcelona
    Luka Modric (CRO) - Real Madrid
    Paul Pogba (FRA) - Manchester United
    Ivan Rakitic (CRO) - FC Barcelona
    Bernardo Silva (POR) - Manchester City
    Dusan Tadic (SRB) - Ajax
    Arturo Vidal (CHI) - FC Barcelona


    I don't think Fabinho deserves to win it but that list is some laugh to look at, like its still 2016 or something.

    I wouldn't get too hung up on these individual awards, tbh. I mean, last week Eden Hazard won the Europa League Player of the Tournament award. He played one-third of Chelsea's game in the tournament and scored once, whereas Olivier Giroud (for example) scored 11 goals in 14 games in the cup alone.

    The awards are typically nonsense - the people voting don't care that much, or they vote for teammates (club and country), etc.

    On our midfielders - on a one-to-one basis, even a lot of our own fans don't rate Hendo or Gini (lord knows why - it's clear how good they are!) so is it really a surprise if other people don't either? It's the system that really allows our players to flourish but I do think Henderson, Wijnaldum and Fabinho have all excelled in the last 6-8 months.

    Of those on the list, surely Bernardo Silva and Frenkie de Jong should be top of the pile? Or Dusan Tadic? All superb this year.

    The cat made no critical errors, especially not from corners, so he gets into the team ahead of 2014 Aspas for me.

    In all seriousness, I'm glad to see him doing so well now. He arrived at Liverpool at the worst possible time with Suarez and Sturridge forming one of the deadliest strike partnerships in the history of the league. If he'd been kept for another season, he'd have played quite a lot with Sturridge plagued by injuries and Mario plagued by being Mario. I wont start on Borini and his world class movement.

    Borinis movement is so world class he's now moved his way from striker to full back for a milan

    Me too. Amazing passion in the commentary. Was surprised Shearer had so much energy albeit being an amazing night. Tyler on the other end of the spectrum.

    Would Hoever be eligible for a spot on List B? I know we named players for List B already but if he meets the criteria below, he can be added at a later point. Would seem unlikely, though, if the likes of Lewis and Larouci have already been added.
    List B submitted to UEFA includes players born on or after January 1, 1998 who have been eligible to play for the Reds for an uninterrupted period of two years since their 15th birthday.

    UEFA rules state the club can name an unlimited amount of players available for List B, although those players must be registered before midnight the day before a match.

    Matip was good, very good, but no he wasn't better than VVD no matter how many times you want to post it.

    Great to see the club is still looking in on Sean and he hasn't been forgotten about.
    After almost 18 months of treatment, Seán will now move to a specialist neurological facility in the north of England for an initial twelve-week rehabilitation programme.
