oh you doubled down ;D

So let's get this straight, you think he was destined to be a world class player under a great manager. But that he's also an example of someone who didn't achieve their potential because he was crushed by the expectations (of people who thought he looked a decent talent in his debut seasons).

Seems like not dealing with that pressure would be a pretty big hindrance to becoming one of the best players in the world..........what would I know though, I'm just a thick lowly liverpool supporter

Anyway I'm gonna leave you to your 'logical fallacy+casual xenophobia=success' posts and call it a night.

Well, if you think that Klopp and Mourinho have the same approach for developing talented young players, I won't argue with that ...

How old was Mbappe before he became a mainstay and main attacking threat for the French team - I think I may have dreamt his involvement as a teenager in the senior team that won the WC, where he basically carried their attack...   

Not sure if the 2018 WC was available in Macadonia...? :D

When we signed Karius in 2016, it was reported that Germany wanted to take him to the Olympics, but he turned them down at Klopp's request to join our pre-season instead.

I think we do if they are under 23, if they are over 23 then we can withdraw them.

That doesn’t answer my question. That’s just you observing a correlation between two sets of data, and implying a causal relationship between them. So let me ask again: is there anything to support your view that France has a policy of protecting its young players in the way you suggest?

There isn't one. It's fantasy bollocks in his mind that he's presenting as a fact like he does a large amount of the time on here. For someone who's been banned under previous accounts so many times I'm absolutely amazed this one has lasted this long when he's shown absolutely zero change in behaviour.

Yes I'd expect he goes. Most people will see it as an honor to represent your country at the Olympics and we seem to have a good relationship with the Egyptian FA so in exchange I'm sure they'll agree to leave him out of any friendlies over the next few months. Egypt have been grouped with Spain and Argentina so I suspect he'll be back with us pretty soon anyway. Wouldn't surprise me if Minamino gets called up by Japan.

Question about the soccer in the Olympics. Do two of the players still have to ride on bicycles or has that now been scrapped? Oh, and do the goalies still have to catch the ball with a butterfly net?

I hope all our players go. It'd be great if they got a bronze medal.

Was wondering this myself when pondering whether he could cover the left with VVD in the middle and Joe Gomez or Matip on the right when we go to a back 3 and push Trent and Robbo up to wing-back.  8)

So for the uninitiated, what's this got to do with Konate and why is it Samies daily choice for posting the same thing in about eight different threads? :D

Is Konate the name of some japanese anime character?
If he's being asked to head the ball too frequently - which isn't exactly his specialty - it could affect his ear and cause an infection. Especially if the ball hits him on the ear directly.
