I genuinely don't get why true fans and players are fussed about what anonymous strangers write online.
Out of the billions of people on this planet there are literally millions of stupid ones who will write things without meaning them or that have mental health issues that means they do things they don't even realise. Plus other teams fans who pretend to be what they aren't to stir up trouble (there is way more of this happening than people realise! )
Why would you read any of this and take it to heart?
If you react the idiots win. Footballers all have social agencies - let them sort it out. Practice harder. Get a proper hobby. Go walk the dog or help out at a local charity.
Life's too short to worry about what strangers and keyboard warriors think.
Ps I have personal experience of this so speak from the heart and know it works.

I don't buy into the nunez abuse I belive he has had some but what players haven't. Seems a bit suspect that he's swanned off to Barcelona to see friends. Rumour is he wants to join Barcelona any truth in him wanting out.
08 May 2024 18:47:27
Just because what players haven’t had abuse doesn’t mean Nunez should get it aswell. you can comment on his performance but as soon as you start going below the belt it’s just wrong and pathetic and using that as a comment is ridiculous. same as the stupid rumour of Barcelona just becuase he’s gone on holiday for a few days there it’s cropped up oh Barcelona are interested how convenient top tier journalism 😂😂.
08 May 2024 20:20:00
Have Liverpool players been given time off to go on holiday otherwise how is he in Barcelona?
08 May 2024 20:50:00
Yep, looks like they’ve all had a few days off.
09 May 2024 01:18:40
Well it seems strange to give them time off when the title race is still officially live.
They’ve only off 2 games left, can’t they just get on with it?

Nice to see Emre Can doing well as captain of Dortmund. Always thought he could be a great player for us but it never really worked out for him I'd say. Be nice if BD win the fnal.
08 May 2024 11:48:22
We massively upgraded on Emre Can with the signing of Fabinho.
However, agree it would be nice to see Dortmund win it.
08 May 2024 15:44:39
Funny how Fabinho dropped off so young though and Can is still going strong. Did we ever play Can as a pure DM? I can't remember 🤣.
08 May 2024 17:28:49
Can was lazy and didn’t really have the defensive nous, seemed like the kind of lad more keen on filling up at the buffet than working on his game. Peak Fabinho was light years better than peak Can.
08 May 2024 17:33:48
When Emre was fit, we tended to play him as a DM. I recall the opposition (the Swansea defeat comes to mind) sitting off and letting him have the ball. He was useless on it. Looked good because he has good hair and was able to use his physical recovery pace and make eye-catching slide tackles.
09 May 2024 00:44:43
I don't think Can was ever DM material personally. I always had him down as a box-to-box midfielder. I was hoping that he would be a Hendo replacement more than anything. I was disappointed at that time that he didn't want to sign a new contract with us but he is doing well now so good for him.

Good player, a bit slow for the PL though.

Yes, and GI Jane was also bald Leek.

Forget about whether Darwin can be more clinical or more consistent. The issue for me is the number of times he is offside. I don’t have any data but I would argue he has been offside more times this year than all of our forwards combined in the last 3 seasons. That for me is a lack of footballing intelligence. He must have been told over and over to time his runs.
07 May 2024 20:43:10
"I don't have any data"
Fortunately, or unfortunately for you, this data does exist and isn't actually that hard to find. In the Premier League this season, Nunez has been caught offside 32 times. That is a most in the league, which is a concern, but "offside more times this year than all of our (other) forwards combined over the last 3 seasons" is not surprisingly a massive exaggeration. In total, Diaz (16), Salah (14) and Gakpo (8) have been offside 38 times between them in the Prem this season. 38 is more than 32 last I checked, and I don't even have to add in Jota's offsides (surprisingly low at 3). And you can't argue something that's not even close to being factually correct.
I could go into the cups as well, but I think this is sufficient to illustrate the point.
Last season he was caught offside less than Salah (22 vs. 17) although adjusting for Salah's extra 300 minutes, that gap isn't really worth talking about.
07 May 2024 21:05:37
Watch his runs and watch how many times the ball went sideways or backwards instead of forward to him. Probably find them stats are responsible for half his offsides.
07 May 2024 22:05:40
Scouse John
Agree
They way we have played this season means forwards are making 3 or 4 turns no the same phase of play
At our pomp under Klopp it was ball into midfield and early pass through
Now we have to go backwards and sideways multiple times before playing forward
I think Darwin would do miles better if we got the ball forward earlier
His asset is his pace
We don’t play to that asset.
08 May 2024 07:49:39
Not kidding you, he was offside on Sunday from a harmless pass by Alisson.
People around were saying “What has the ref given there? ” Before someone said “Darwin was offside” incredulously.
Blame the speed of transition if you want but the lad needs to work on his game to be a forward for a top team. Composure and awareness are desperately lacking.
08 May 2024 10:24:34
Mo Salah was offside from a harmless pass from Becker in a game not that long ago too. becomes a bit of a red herring.
{Ed001's Note - yes but they don't get highlighted by the media as the agenda against him has given up.}
08 May 2024 12:52:11
Mo silences his critics on the pitch - simple as that.
