The Premier League Obnoxious XI
« on: December 19, 2023, 11:44:21 pm »
what player(s) from other PL teams would you HATE to see join Liverpool.

this is ignoring their skills / talents - just based on the personality you see.

here's my stab at my starting 11 .... not being too precise re positioning but anyhow:

Goalie:  Martinez
Defenders: Young  Martinez  Rodri  Trippier
Midfielders: Fernandez Guimares Fred
Forwards: Silva Gordon Antony

They both went in high, that's factually correct, both tried to play the ball at height.  Doku with his foot, Mac Allister with his chest.

                               Martinez

                  Young - Romero - Martinez

Guimarães - Joelinton - Bernardo Silva - Fernandes

             Gordon - Richarlison - Antony


This is purely based on what I've seen from them on the pitch, completely discounting their private lives, which is why someone like Maguire isn't in there.  Antony was a bit of a stretch too, but couldn't think of anyone else.  He doesn't really annoy me, he's just shit.

Nice balance of thuggery and whingeing in midfield for me.

This is probably closest to what I'd pick, although Trippier gets an honourable mention.

Do we need a manager as well?

How is Mr Sunbed getting a pass here? Even the England squad don't like Ben White.

Pickford
Walker
James
Trippier
Fernandes
Joelinton
Maddison
Antony
Silva
Gordon
Jesus


Struggled to come up with 4 defenders I dislike enough to add to this, so just went with 3.
It's just a collection of 11 players with no thought given to positioning or shape.

God, how did I forget Maddison? :butt

Jesus is also a good shout just for his weird emoji face.

Forgot about Jesus, swap Antony out for him on mine.  Maddison doesn't annoy me at all, he's just a bit of a hammy panto villain, not a nasty piece of work like Silva or Fernandes.

Guimares is showing how much of a bellend he is recently. 3 or 4 times in the past few weeks he has been overly violent in a challenge or off the ball for absolutely no reason.

Last nights booking for him was just strange, he made no attempt to get the ball and just wanted to wipe Maatsen out, who had barely been on the pitch. Like he can't control his emotions after the team fucked it up.
We already have shit in the country, and the game of Liverpool fills life with joy. Thanks

He got a touch of the Pickford's after he scored in the shootout too.

No Richarlison?

It's been Guardiola for ages for me.  Even when his Barca team were stopping Utd picking up CLs I thought he was a twat and I felt like one of the only people saying it on RAWK at the time.  Brilliant manager, arguably the best ever, but I've never liked him.

Has he ever been restricted with finances for transfers, etc?
Would he have done the same job that Jurgen has done for us?

We'll never know.  But he's changed the way football is played, I remember Phase of Play arguing that a lot on RAWK before he was run off.  People did NOT like him saying that, but I agree with him, even though I've never liked Guardiola.
