I think that's a poor article to support your arrogant assertion as it gives a lot of credit to his coach at QPR for his development too - i.e. these things are multifarious.
Sterling had scored two goals for England in his whole career before October of last year. His international performance was abject in the extreme. This continued 2 and half seasons into Pep's reign. Only very recently has he started to perform.
it was only a matter of time, though. under pep he was getting better, better, and better under. you noticed it. now he's bangin' them in like what he does for city. now he plays the same way for england. world class managers improve players.
None of the Champions League final participants started.
Why didn't Kane start then?
Think he will be first choice from now. Excellent performance from him.
His only faults today were the set pieces in the first half. Otherwise he gives the team much more than Walker - including no cockups
MBappe is the Trent of strikers.
Amazing to think our 2 fullbacks cost a combined £8 million. Joel Matip who partnered VVD in the CL final came on a free, whilst Gomez cost us buttons when we signed him from Charlton.God this lad is good with his crossing and passing. Insanely jealous. Will just have to work on tucking in when necessary and not engaging too high from his back 4 and the scouse will easily have the best RB in the game!
Yeah, I said before VVD came Matip was a great free. The jury is still out on Gomez whether he can stay fit a full season, undoubtedly talented though. It’s fecking grim watching for us you lot at the moment.
TAA is the perfect example of what investing game time in talent does for you. Half of this forum & Mourinho would've had TAA relegated to the bench last season after he got a bit of a working by Rashford. Would've signed a 50m replacement and stuck him on the bench to 'learn'.
"No value in the market"
Ha, ha, true. Also, if you take into account we sold a lad from our U23's - Kevin Stewart - to Hull for a reported £8 million, then it makes Andy Robertson's transfer even cheaper.
Huh? He is now one of the brightest prospect in the world at this position. True, he might be moved to midfield but I'd rather he be one of the best at fullback then an average centre midfielder.
I disagree, in the modern game fullbacks as dynamic going forward as he is are golddust.
So true. Take Wan Bissaka. It’s all well and good when he’s given the breakthrough at Palace and performing. Let’s buy him for millions. But would he have been given those opportunities if he were here? Or forgotten about in favour of an expensive young player from a team like... Palace?
I don't think he needs to perform on the social media. He does his job on the pitch.
But that is management maturity for you. In terms of player development, Klopp is of a different order and on a different planet compared to most other managers and certainly compared to Jose. We have seen Klopp's approach with any one of a number of players that he has handled at Liverpool. Whilst I do not believe that Ole should flood the first team with youth players, I do believe that he should give one or two a run and back them. Failure to do so will stunt their development.
Beckham-esque for England yesterdayTweet

Not on a Jürgen Klopp team he isn't. Klopp puts as much importance in fullbacks as in any position in his teams. They supply the width and delivery, as he doesn't use wingers in the conventional sense. So Alexander-Arnold and Robertson are huge players for his team and as important as anyone.
Its crazy to say that he is wasted at fullback when both him and Robertson had ~15 assists this season. Crazy numbers
