Danny Murphy still a bitter c*nt aint he?!
“Kevin De Bruyne is the best midfielder, probably, in the world, and he’s clapping his hands and giving a guard of honour to players who can’t even lace his boots,” the ex-Reds midfielder added.
I don't think there's a single LFC supporter who would claim that any of our midfielders are technically better footballers than De Bruyne, but those boys have worked their arses off for 18 months, they've out-fought, out-run and out-tackled every opponent. They have earned the respect of everybody in the game, Hendo particularly.
Trent and Robbo are recognised as 2 of the best, if not THE best fullbacks in the world, VVD has completely re-written the rules on playing centreback and the fact that he was even in the running for the Ballon D'or says it all. The front-3 especially Mane and Salah have hit goal numbers over the last 2 or 3 seasons that many centre forwards don't get.
So to say De Bruyne is clapping players who ''can't lace his boots'' is total bullshit and a stupid stupid comment to make, especially from an ex player and one who played for LFC. These are the same players who schooled the worlds best player Lionel Messi in a 4-0 thrashing.
Murphy must want some hits on his twitter page or something.
