He's got a whopping 1 out of 6 Utd players correct and even that's debatable

If you're not striving to improve, you'll end up going backwards.

The case could be made for either Maguire or Rashford. Though even then I would pick Mane over Rashford

I think Van Dijk makes Gomez and Matip look a lot better than they are, but even then I'd maybe still go with one of them over Maguire.

Pogba there's no way he gets in over Henderson or Wijnaldum. He's not shown any decent form in the last year or so. Fernandes has been there for a cup of coffee so not a really known entity yet.

Rest of them are laughable.

gently caress it I'm gonna seriouspost.

Wan Bisaka vs TAA is a tough one because one's a good defender and one is a good winger. I'd want a good right back at right back but how do you justify dropping TAA?

If we're to assume "at their best" then I think the only personnel in 2020 that get a spot in Liverpool's 11 (I'm excluding Fernandes because he's had 90 minutes of Premier League football) are Pogba, Rashford and MAYBE Fred? Before you laugh and take the piss about Fred, he's exactly the kind of box to box energy type of midfielder that Klopp seems to know exactly how to make work. Pogba on form is obvious and Rashford's numbers this season are frankly competing with Liverpool's front three.

For me, Firminho is the one you cannot take out of that Liverpool 3. I don't care about goals scored, he's like their Cantona (shut up and listen) that knits the rest of the talent together. Doesn't get all the goals and numbers but take Firminho out and that mid to attack transition isn't as fruitful. There's a case for Salah out and Rashford in. Mane's playing too well this year to take him out. Or gently caress it go 4-2-4, Pogba and Firminho behind Rashford and Liverpool's front three.

No current United player gets into our side. Especially Wan Bissaka who is dreadful going forward.

You'd think at this point that people would accept our midfielders are good at being midfielders, and that TAA is far from being some type of defensive liability, yet every player in their traits is judged as either being an archetype or just average.

At least the perception of Firmino is moving on from all the pundits going on about how we need to sign a "20 goal a season striker".

Both Firminho and Cantona have a man Kung Fu kick.

But yeah the problem with all these is that the systems are totally different. Even if he does fit I don't see how Fred makes a case over anyone in Liverpools midfield.

Rashford over Salah is the only case that's even plausible but then again Salah isn't exactly doing badly this year.

Personally I wouldn't choose Rashford over Salah. I think a combined Utd Liverpool XI doesn't have any Utd players.

Origi has proven himself to be able to come off the bench and win champions leagues knockouts against Barca, he's who Rashford should be compared to, not Salah ffs, Rashford wouldn't be fit to pick up Salah's Maccies, he would completely gently caress up the order. Signed, Right Thread

Before his injury (and while somewhat injured!) he'd scored more than either of them. I think he's younger too?

Football would benefit from a rule outlawing pass-backs to the Goalkeeper.

The constant resets (looking at you, VvD) make for frustrating & dull viewing.

Defenders under more pressure would create more chances, this is absolutely the case.

Torn on which thread as I found it entertaining, but since it's Merson I went with here

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7WPwyVUVlGg&t=570s

Who will have the better season if they win the rest of their matches, Liverpool or City (so Premier League vs Carabao/FA Cup/Champions League), with added which is the bigger competition to win, the Premier League or the Champions League. (link should take to the start of the bit, if not it's around 9 minutes 30)
