Attackers are measured with goals and assists
Actually, he was rubbish. 0 goals and 0 assists, and in our modern parlance, that means he did nothing, ghosted, flopped, vanished etc. That's how we judge performances nowadays, right?
Not in the Pl game
Liverpool fan?

Sure? You sure seemed happy in that post?
Did a little research into the Maradona v Platini in Serie A comparison that was previously discussed in another thread (where someone reported clearly incorrect Transfermarkt numbers for MP's assists).
I think we should check all his posts to be sure.
I'm onto him.
Erm, yes I'm sure. My post had little to do with him really, it was more an ironic take on how we judge performances in the modern era. And when you're being satirical, I've found that you have to overload on the emojis otherwise there will always be someone who thinks you're being serious, no matter how ridiculous the words are. Sarcasm doesn't translate very well in print it seems.
Haha, you might find my Klopp ones a little bit confusing then
Inside joke from 2005 mate, I was* a United fan before (*wasn't)Haha, you might find my Klopp ones a little bit confusing then
Exactly. It’s like a chessboard. One extra player moved to back line (jones) means free space somewhere for another. (Alcantara)
Ah, I see. I'll try not to weep at being an outsider
Right? First time I'd heard him speak yesterday. I don't know why I was so surprised but I expected him to sound like other Spanish players who first come to the league.
He had quite a mixed background, born in Italy, Brazilian parents, raised in Spain.
That's true, and I suppose living in Germany for a period forces one to rely on English on a daily basis. Maybe I was hearing things, but I thought I caught a hint of a British accent in there too.
You think it’s all about goals and assists?

He's lampooning the current trend of prioritizing goal/assist statistics over performance.You think it’s all about goals and assists?
Yeah it was ridiculous. A central midfielder couldn’t ask for an easier day out.
Well he still looked magnificent and by far the best player on the field. Not for the first time this season, either. So not really surprising he's getting plaudits.
Exactly, if it was so easy why did he look leagues ahead compared to the other Liverpool midfielders?
He was poor in your last proper tough match- vs City in the league.
He sounds like he’s been speaking the language for a long time, perhaps in his personal life (friends, maybe some family). No ummmsss ahhhs or broken sentences and a natural flow state where he’s not having to paw for words from an almost bereft selection.
I thought he was the only midfielder who didn't look poor.
Not really, just not outstanding. Also don't think I ever said he hasn't ever had a bad game this season.
Doesn't count apparently because City had some injuries and played their back-up GK.
When he just broke through at Barca I watched an interview of his and it was fluent English then aswell.
Yeah, doesn't surprise me. Must be something he uses in his personal life.
He had a really good finish to last season to be fair. When he was able to play in a midfield with Fabinho he was excellent in our final 10 games. This season he's excelled when fit. He really exposes how limited Henderson's ability on the ball is. We've moved on from just having an energetic and functional midfield.
