He seems to be improving tremendously as the season goes (i think he is under the radar so far as our tremendous 3 are getting all the praises so far). If her continues his trajectory, he will be a monster at that central midfield position. Like juggernaut from the comics. When OX starts running forward with the ball....not many people can stop him.

Was clearly annoyed when he got subbed off. Can only imagine how demotivating it must be, when players who offer absolutely nothing to the team are kept in the starting XI every game, while the likes of Chamberlain who work their socks off and try to create something are rewarded with a spot on the bench or subbed off early.

crazy.. he was way off today, he has been brilliant lately but today he was sloppy with possession, way off with his passing and got caught out a few too many times. He tried hard but wasn't his day.

He isn’t Cans biggest fan.

In fact he posts pretty exclusively slagging him off

Quote

If only Grujic was half german so he would get picked, instead of that excuse of a footballer Emre Can.

Quote

Opening two minutes, two mistakes by Can leading to a goal. VVD won't make any difference if Klopp keeps insisting on playing Emre Can in midfield. He just stands by and lets the opposition pass.

Quote

A hattrick of fuck-ups by our captain for every single goal we conceded. I told you VVD won't make a difference when Klopp keeps playing Can in the middle.

Quote

Ironic that Klopp likes hard working players, gegenpress etc, yet drops Ox and Gini and keeps playing Can.

Quote

Even Suarez wouldn't do anything with this midfield. Can takes 10 touches just to turn and pass it square to Lucas who does the same thing until one of them decides to just go long. Pathetic!

Quote

Fantastic defending from Can for Benteke's second goal. Back to his best after putting a decent performance the last two games. Lallana and Henderson can't come back soon enough.

Like....he literally only posts to slate Can

Triad · « **Reply #1285 on:** March 10, 2018, 07:06:45 pm »

It might be an unpopular opinion here but I rate both Lallana and Milner's footballing brain over his.If only Adam was fully fit and Milner was five years younger.

Ball was in the back of the net before Ederson even knew what had happened. An unreal strike.

As good as that goal was, hoping to see a gif of that turn on the halfway line that dropped Kompany and opened up the entire City half for him. Deserved a goal for the sheer speed at which he pulled it off.

Should have released Firmino for a 1v1 but made a terrible decision. It's clear that there is so much more to come from Ox but decision-making and a bit of confidence is key. That and he needs to improve his passing, but I think that'll come with confidence.

As good as he was tonight, and has been for us in general, he's going to be on another level entirely next season.

The potential he has is scary. I'm made up he's ours and we'll get to see him fulfill that potential under Klopp, the sky is the limit for him.

Yes for sure. But he was in a similar situation against Newcastle a few weeks ago and played a perfect pass into Salah. So he can definitely pick a pass out while travelling at pace with the ball.

Circa1892 · « **Reply #1314 on:** April 4, 2018, 10:59:51 pm »

Great signing. I think everyone thought it was a meh one and overpriced at the time, but he fits this side perfectly and is a far better player than any of us thought. Works perfectly in a Klopp team.

That said - can you imagine how fucking shite he'd have been at Chelsea this year? Just goes to show how much being in the right team in the right system makes a difference to a player.

Mental that the obvious gap in our team is already sorted for next season and it's the best option available.

I think Oxlade-Chamberlain kicks on next season too. A full pre-season now Klopp's worked out how best to use him, as he comes into his prime years. Exciting stuff.

If we're targeting Jorginho, it's not to play ahead of Keita.
