They aren't that stupid, the guy meant their current team is better than their own in 08/09. I wouldn't be too sure about that. Wasn't their midfield Alonso, Mascherano, Gerrard?
RAWK Goes Into Meltdown 20-18/19 Edition
- Thread starter Pexbo
- Start date
Debatable.
I think most on RAWK and elsewhere would pick our current side because it's got more spark and is stronger defensively than the 08/09 side.
Reina; Arbeloa, Carragher, Hyypia, Aurelio; Alonso, Mascherano; Kuyt, Gerrard, Benayoun; Torres
vs
Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson; Fabinho, Wijnaldum, Milner; Salah, Firmino, Mane
The 08/09 team is superior.
Alisson > Reina
Arbeloa > TAA
Carragher > Gomez
Van Dijk > Hyypia
Aurelio > Robertson
Alonso > Fabinho
Mascherano > Wijnaldum
Gerrard > Milner
Salah > Kuyt
Firmino > Benayoun
Torres > Mane
No way are the 08/09 fullbacks better than what they have now.
If they could combine this defence plus Salah and Mane with the 08/09 midfield plus Torres it would definitely make one hell of a side.
It would be quite monstrous tbf. I'd have the entire back 4 and front 3 of today over their 08/09 one though. But Jesus put Mascherano, Alonso and Gerrard behind them..
I don't think you'd find many people who agree that Arbeloa & Aurelio are better full backs than TAA & Robertson.
@marukomu look at those wankers and what they do to your thread.
Sorry, sorry! RAWK, what a bunch of nutters.
Aurelio is definitely a better fullback than Robertson but his issue was that he was rarely fit. Arbeloa is better than TAA but not by much and TAA has the potential to be better.
No way in hell are Matip or Lovren better than Carragher or Hyypia.
Firmino or Mane ahead of Torres? No chance.
It's just concussion.
This thread needs more original poetry from RAWK.
I'd say this season's Gomez is better than them and I'd also say that Salah is a #9 now and Torres wouldn't work well with him, incredible as Torres was, and therefore you're better off keeping the fluid front 3 they have right now who complement each other so well.
for the bulging crap analogy files
I usually like some of their poetry and apologies (putting aside the delusion), but this is terrible
RAWK said:
More spark, less control. Mercurial vs consistent. I favour the latter. Of course, combine them and it's one hell of a side.
So a crap February to go before getting our form back. Hope not
cool
if they like it... must be great read
If I was to go with a combined XI with the current players in bold I'd go the following : -
Reina
Arbeloa
Carragher
VVD
Robertson
Alonso
Mascherano
Gerrard
Mane
Salah
Torres
Off course some close one's like the right-back spot, a different formation etc; but I think the 2008/2009 was a better team overall.
Interesting article.if they like it... must be great read
TL : DR for anyone;
Stop laughing at Liverpool. Laughing at Liverpool is mean and childish. And wrong, because Liverpool are actually awesome, everyone else is just too stupid to appreciate this.
I actually forgot how good their 08/09 midfield was. They only lost 2 that season, right?
Yeah against Spurs and Boro away.
I don't like that poem very much.
It certainly had a balance to it.
I love the "they didn't want to win it" attitude. I bet some cnut at that club has been tasked with putting Gerrard in to full kit if they win it this season. Mark my words, if they do win the league Stevie Me will be on that parade bus.

The media - if they weren't full of former Scouser scum and bias - should be grilling Klopp more.
The man has broken the world record for a GK and for a CB in the space of few months to solve 'their big problem' as well as spending around £80-90m on two midfielders to 'upgrade' their midfield...….yet the latter two can't fully break into the team and they aren't pulling away the way they should be. When exactly is Klopp going to held to the same standards as say, Mourinho?

I agree with you but the media seem to have decided that they want Liverpool to win the league.
08/09 definitely was IMO. They only finished four points of us in the end.
We were in danger of losing to them when the momentum was with them and we were fecking it up for a bit defensively after we finally conceded to Blackburn and broke the clean sheet run. They should by rights have had a massive lead on us when we came back from Japan but they screwed that up and then Macheda plus Arshavin ruined them.
For a brief while though, they were favourites for that title.
agree.
That Macheda goal was immense.
