And? They won 6 straight 2 years ago and finished 3rd but you and I both know you'd be bragging how you'll walk to the league title if they won every game so far

[@itstypicalz8344]

Mo Salah was the best player in the league

[@Tom-eq7eh]

Modric should win the balon d'or, 2nd in the world cup, won the champions league. The key link player in both teams.

[@DutchBuddhist]

Let me remind you of Sneijder in 2010: Won the Champions league with Inter Milan, won the Serie A, came 2nd in the World Cup with the Netherlands and didn't win Balon D'Or

[@Tom-eq7eh]

Reason sneijder didn't get the balon d'or though is because he was a tough player who was often very outspoken about his peers and managers, so the press would of been bad giving it to him over fifa's golden boys in spain.

[@Tom-eq7eh]

Inestia should of been the winner in 2010 though.

[@moey2929]

Van Dijk is a great leader and has transformed this defense , with Alisson also coming in we have more confidence in retaining leads

[@SuperMuneera]

The defence wasn't that bad to begin with. Just had a few missing pieces of the jigsaw. A top keeper and 2 Cb's. Now there's Alisson and Van Dijk with Gomez playing in his natural position.

[@ZoomerReal]

Abdi Ahmed it was the mistakes that cost them the lack the leadership that Van Dijk provides. Man Utd lack leadership in their defence that Toby Alderwield would've provided had of Jose got his man, united would be have 9 points

[@bsfootball2182]

Comments below is one of my Monday traditions!

[@heisenberg8917]

....VVD brings defensive system to Liverpool. He moves, he shouts and he commands. It's hard to play as a CB in JK team. His tactic can easily kill his CB most of the time cos there 's space between midfield and defend backline from high pressing football. That's why we saw errors of defending from Lovren, Klavan or Gomez on previous season. ....VVD is different from a normal CB. He has the ability of back-line control and he moves forward and backward all the time to tighten space to cover lose balls, passing etc. ....Gomez will learn a lot paring with him day-in day-out on training and on matchday. He will know how to move for the best position for marking ,covering and timing for tackling. He did good so far and will play a big part in this season for sure cos Gomez himself has good pace tho. ....To me VVD is one of the best CB in the world. He's strong but smart as well. His career is the evidence of how much impact of him to the team. Celtic conceded 16 and 17 goals in each of VVD's 2 years service. The lowest in last 15 years, perhaps. Southampton first year with VVD signing finished at 6th. And remember he lead the newbie Saints backline after the crisis of Cylne, Lovren ,Shaw and Alderweireld (loan) all move out. He was the best signing of Koeman back then. ....VVD has proved a lot much more than his price-tag. As i always believe, cheers.

The ballon d’or is coming up and we all know that Ronaldo is going to win it despite the fact that Messi’s statistics are much better. Unfortunately it doesn’t matter what you do it’s whatever club wins the champions league.

[@eldio2124]

Glucero1215 neither Messi or ronaldo deserve the ballon dor it should go to Modric or mbappe

[@madmoxxi7397]

tf has mbappe done? he wasn't even the best player in his team modric could get it and i wouldn't be mad but i still believe messi deserves it

[@rahul0315]

Glucero1215 ikr messi won more trophies and scored more goals and got more assist than ronaldo yet ronaldo will win it still. If anything I think Modric should win it. World Cup finalist and won champions league and has been the best mid in the world

[@slowedworks5237]

He is literally the perfect Center Back. Think about it if I was making the perfect specimen for a football defender it would be Virgil Van Dijk. He is extremely tall (6’4) He is one of the strongest footballers out there. He can literally hold anybody off. He has the pace to keep up with some of the world’s best attackers. He has the coolest head of any defender I’ve seen put on a Liverpool shirt while also being very good aerially. Not to mention his passing, long or short is top quality and probably the best in world football. On top of all of this he is an amazing leader like this video shows He is a defender of the highest quality.

[@IvIrDefy]

[@taylormarcos3138]

that conversation about identifying humour, my bruddas are mad conscious 😂😂😂

[@regan_sg]

After Monday's result it's fair to say that Spurs are genuine title contenders. Over the past few seasons with Pochettino, we're no longer a conventional Spurs side, and with Lucas Moura we finally have the flair that we need to win trophies.

[@irfanzainal4496]

Hey guys. Fulham win last weekend was deservedly and emphatic as well. Sure Mitrovic, Seri and Schurlle performed well but you guys need to give credits to Vietto as well. Had 2 assist in that game and was literally EVERYWHERE! Hope he can maintain his form. If he can maintain and gives performances like this, no doubt signing of the season! Much love guys and Allez Allez Allez!

[@rhgaming8460]

I need that intro as my ringtone

[@willpreece6502]

Lucas Moura doing bits in place of Son right now. I feel like there has been too much focus on Man United falling apart and not enough credit where it is due. It took a while for Tottenham to get into the game but once they got into their rythm they were unstoppable.

yo what's the COPA PO Box . Mans need to send the boyz some merchhh

Saw poet at carni, he didn't see me cus this man sprint walks so damn fast

[@m-ear]

I'm not a Palace fan but Poet was wrong when he asked "why do Palace need to go 2 down to get started". I watched the game and Palace passed it around well. Should have been up 2-0 in the first half and they should have equalised right at the end. Freak goal from Holebas it has to be said.

[@zacharycaswell8583]

Comments below is still the only thing i look forward too on Mondays, even though City v Wolves was bs

[@DrFIFA]

14:26 Vuj definitely held one in

[@cowboycatss]

Ederson and Alisson have been the best keepers in the league so far. They can both play with their feet and can pull saves out of their asses when they need too. I just prefer Ederson at the moment because he doesn’t need to show off to look good. If any other keeper pulled that Alisson flick they’d be getting so much hate.

[@dragontruong-le8579]

Did nobody notice vuj go for the fist bump and post go for the high five

[@Sproles11]

Talking about how great wolves are as if they didn’t get a point from slapping the ball into the net and fouling Silva in the box. That Patricio save was nice though. Nobody expected a shot from there. Especially from Sterling.

[@adinikale]

Mourinho lost his shit in the post-match conference. As a Liverpool fan, can't be happier. Please allow him to do more of this #allowit

[@Jojokuker019375]

Despite the the defeat, the only person that gets any blame is Jose. They say he’s lost the dressing room or he parks the bus. He set the team up perfectly but individual errors killed that game plan. De gea has been shocking since the World Cup. We have center backs that have no situational awareness. Lukaku has missed two open goals, and I don’t know who we signed from Arsenal but it isn’t Sanchez.

[@j7543]

I just noticed vuj and poet switched couches

[@ewansutherland6130]

I’m a Man United fan and I think the appointment of Jose Mou a couple years ago was a panic. So I believe we shldve bought in someone like Dyche who has a long term plan at Burnley and have players who want to play for him and try so hard every week. We shldve gone for an interesting new fresh young manager like Sarri or like what Jose was when he went to Chelsea but we chose the big name. The poor managerial appointments and the boards decisions are going to turn us into post 70s/80s Liverpool who had so much dominance for so long and then went down hill. I can see that happening to us. In my opinion we have quality players like De Gea, Bailly, Fred, Lukaku and others yet we can’t get it to click and I think that is down to the manager. And in that list of players you will notice I didn’t use Pogba. The repurchasing of Pogba after he blew United off when they offered him a professional contract after his youth career was wrong. When u deny United you shldnt get another chance we shldnt b forking out £90million on a player that didn’t want to b there and didn’t take his chance. You shldnt get a second chance. Similarly Jose sent Lukaku out on loan at Chelsea and then sold him after mistreating him so why has he bought him? You disregarded him and now u want him surely that’s not right. Anyway rant over.

[@peytondagenais479]

[@niklas2288]

Meiner Meinung nach gewinnt entweder Tottenham oder Liverpool, die Liga. Mourinho sollte gefeuert werden und die Wolves beenden die Saison auf Platz 7. Arsenal hat unterdurchschnittlich schlecht gespielt für ein "Top4 Team". Aber Bellerin und Henrikh waren fantastisch. Leeds ist der Premier League wäre absolut genial. Sprecht mehr über deutschen Fussball.
