what i think of some of the liverpool squad
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain -
Extremely underrated. Hasn’t been the same since his injury. He seems to be plagued with injuries. Wouldn’t be surprised if he left at the end of this season, feel very bad for him sitting on the bench all the time. At this point I’ve been thinking he’s done something to make Kloppo absolutely hate him because he never plays. Would also just like to thank him for making Perrie Edwards a MILF and a Liverpool fan x
Joe Gomez-
Funny guy, wish he played more often but unfortunately he is simply not up to the standard at this current time. Was absolutely devastated that he came off injured against Southampton, he’s always been so unlucky with injuries. I’d give him my knee but that would probably be worse for him. I think I have joint issues. Love him in the media day videos. Solid dude.
Virgil Van Dijk -
What a beast. Absolutely love the guy. Don’t understand how you couldn’t like him. Arguably one of the best defenders in the world. I admire his love for Joel - that’s what you call commitment. Also a really funny guy in the media day videos.
Kostas Tsimikas -
Kostas. Where do I start? I could write a whole letter for him. I have never loved a player in the way I love him. The way he's so dedicated to the team makes me so emotional sometimes. I would want nothing more than to give him a hug. he deserve the world and more. So underappreciated yet so bloody good. he's our Greek Scouser.. Sorry I mean Scouser Greek. I never want him to leave. Ever.
Ibrahima Konate -
I don’t know all that much about him, but I do know he’s incredible. I would be terrified if I had to come up against him on the pitch. I think I’d surrender then and there. He seems like a really nice guy and I’d love to be mates with him but I’m scared I’d annoy him too much.
Naby Keita -
I can’t lie, I actually stress way too much when he plays. I don’t know why, he’s a good player. Seems like a really sweet guy. I can tell his smile really brightens up the room. Seems like a ray of sunshine. What a guy.
Caoimhin Kelleher -
Literally my favourite number 2 goalkeeper in the business. That pen against Chelsea in the Carabao Cup final? Beautiful if you ask me. Seems like a really chilled, quiet guy. I can already tell I’d wind him up if I spent too long with him but he’d never outright tell me to go away.
Thiago Alcantara -
Absolute midfield maestro. Incredible at what he does. Living legend. His friendship with Kostas is something I would only ever be able to dream about having with someone. Love the guy. One of our best signings if you ask me. He’s absolutely transformed the midfield and I wouldn’t change a single thing about him.
Luis Diaz -
Again, what a player. Something about our recent signings honestly. I don’t know what else I can say except that he’s absolutely incredible. The footwork. The pace. The skill. Never leave us. I love you my guy.
Andy Robertson -
What a little shitstirrer. Absolutely loved by the Liverpool fans, hated by everyone else. But you know it wouldn’t work any other way. My favourite scotsman. To this day I’m still kept up in the middle of the night wondering if pigeons have thoughts. I would no doubt be best friends with him. I wonder if he likes haggis.
Takumi Minamino -
Played less games than Jack Grealish has at City yet still has more goals than him. Our best finisher and our saviour on more than one occasion. Seems like the most humble guy and I really hope he doesn’t leave us anytime soon. I want to give him a box of chocolates and thank him for the service he’s done for our club.
Joel Matip -
His giraffe runs are nothing short of iconic. The way that he so gracefully floats down the pitch with the ball is incredible. He is the moment. I understand why Virgil is infatuated with him. How can you not? Absolutely mesmerising.
Diogo Jota -
Literally just nominate him for the Ballon D’or. The goals he scores are incredible. Also an absolute warrior at FIFA. I’d ask to play against him and the score would be 52-1 to him (the 1 goal he’d let me score out of pity) I’d leave the room crying. Hendo would ban us from playing FIFA against each other for the rest of eternity.
Sadio Mane -
Sadio Mane. The best football player in the world. The guy is a superhero. What a season he’s had. So proud. If he goes to Bayern I’ll delete football. The game is nothing without him. We need him. He’s wonderful.
Alisson Becker -
The best goalkeeper in the world. I don’t know how you can tell me Ederson is better. Alisson is the reason we are where we are. His iconic, once-in-a-lifetime header against West Brom was the pebble in the pond. It’s the reason we are the team we are. There will be statues built for him, murals painted, and sections in museums dedicated to him and I will be the first one there for it all. He also looks like he could be Chris Hemsworth’s brother.
Roberto Firmino -
I sing his song while I go about my daily life. He is captivating. His teeth scare me a bit but his football skills are amazing. People will talk about him for generations. He is ingrained in history.
Divock Origi -
Football without Origi really is nothing. Life is meaningless without him at Liverpool. I will take it upon myself to build a statue of him outside Anfield. He is nothing short of a legend. I already miss him. I don’t know what I’m going to do with myself next season. There is going to be a void in my life. A hole in my heart. I prayed this day would never come. I don’t want to say goodbye to our Divock.
Harvey Elliott -
Little bit of a prick I can’t lie, but he’s a great football player. Watching the replay of his injury traumatised me. I don’t know how he didn’t just die then and there. He’s really short as well. I can’t get over how he thought he was doing something when he tried to push Kai Havertz in the Carabao Cup final. Was hoping for a part two of that in the FA cup final but neither of them played. Disappointing to say the least. But yeah he’s decent.
Mo Salah -
Literally just give him the Ballon D’or. The best player in the world. Was robbed of PL player of the season. Will not go into that because I’ll get too angry. Really hope he doesn’t leave. Won’t be able to deal with that. Might have to end it all.
James Milner -
Brexit football at its finest. He looks a bit scary sometimes but I can’t be mean to him because we have to respect our elders. The veteran on the pitch. I’m fairly certain he’ll be playing football until he’s one foot in the grave. James Milner will never retire.

Martin Keown dismisses Jude Bellingham's 'world-class' label.
In a heated exchange, football icons Rio Ferdinand and Martin Keown have engaged in a lively debate over whether Jude Bellingham, the promising English talent, can be considered 'world-class'. Meanwhile, Ferdinand's recent remarks regarding Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka have drawn criticism from Arsenal supporters, prompting a broader discussion on the definition of a 'world-class' player.
Prior to Arsenal's recent 1-0 defeat to Porto, Ferdinand clarified his stance, asserting that, in his view, only 12 active footballers merit the 'world-class' label. This exclusive list features Ederson, Kyle Walker, Rodri, Jude Bellingham, Vinicius Jr, Harry Kane, Alisson, Virgil van Dijk, Kevin De Bruyne, Mohamed Salah, Kylian Mbappe, and Erling Haaland.

‘The only thing’: Ajax legend shares what 'extremely skilful' Timber is ‘lacking’ ahead of Arsenal move
‘The only thing’: Ajax legend shares what 'extremely skilful' Timber is ‘lacking’ ahead of Arsenal move
Ajax icon Marciano Vink has identified a weakness in Jurrien Timber's abilities as he prepares to join Arsenal.
Vink discussed the young defender on ESPN FC while confirming his imminent transfer to the Gunners.
Arsenal supporters have been eagerly anticipating new signings following the confirmation of Kai Havertz's arrival.
It seems that the club may soon unveil two promising talents, Jurrien Timber and Declan Rice, as Timber has reportedly completed his medical examination, suggesting an official announcement is imminent.
Jurrien Timber, a versatile Dutch international, is highly anticipated due to his ability to excel in multiple positions. Nevertheless, Vink has highlighted an area in which Timber may require improvement upon joining Arsenal.
Despite his young career, he has already left a positive impression on players like Virgil van Dijk. Now, he must gain the support and admiration of the Arsenal fans at the Emirates Stadium as the new season commences.
What new Arsenal man Timber is lacking in his game
Asked about the 22-year-old, Vink said: “Well, Timber is a very promising young player. He’s extremely skilful, he’s good in one-v-ones, he’s a guy who has ice-cold blood, he never gets nervous.
“Always in difficult situations, he knows the solution. He made his debut in the national team, he played like he was playing for several years already.
“This guy is a huge talent and multi-functional, you can put him in different roles, different positions.
“He can play as a full-back, centre-back, he can play in midfield. The only thing he’s lacking is his height and defending the headers.
“The difference between Jurrien Timber and Martinez is that Martinez has a lot of energy, a lot of willpower, that’s the only thing defending Timber is lacking.
“So, Martinez even with corners against, he can make it really hard. I think Jurrien Timber needs to grow in that kind of spirit, in that kind of aggressivity.”
Should Timber be deployed as a right-back, his potential deficiency in terms of height and aerial prowess may not pose a significant issue for Arsenal.
However, if he is filling in for Ben White, Mikel Arteta would lose an aerial threat in both defense and attack.
The expectation is that Timber's other qualities compensate for his limitations in the air.
This circumstance could potentially guide Arteta in determining Timber's position within his tactical setup for the upcoming season.
