"I wouldn't pick me either"....Stevie is legendary🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@risizirevlon4338]

@Liverpool FC I know...I've seen his videos,he was brilliant...I'm sure they don't mean at their prime,they mean like now for maybe a practice match....because I think I've heard them once answering a question about the best player among the crew in their prime n they chose Stevie,but I think Del Peiro hadn't joined

[@greyman6353]

Steve Nicol was probably one of the most versatile players in Europe in his prime, capable of delivering man of the match performances in several positions.

[@markokungulovski6710]

I agree that Hazards injuries ruined his career, but on the other hand while he was injured he gained a lot of weight which means he wasnt doing his rehabilitation right which is VERY important when you are injured.

[@historianofmanythings4294]

Bruh he lost the weight before all those injuries. He was playing great before meunier broke the ankle. The ankle (which he broke before as well) was the downfall, not the weight.

[@omairsh8]

Pogba is straight up not motivated enough to play week in week out ❗️ I remember Pogba was out with an injury for months and Andre Gomes broke his ankle n he came back before Pogba 💀

[@rtads11]

You can't tell me De Bruyne would be as good as he is if he had Mctominay and Fred playing alongside him week in and week out so the people you play with does have an impact on your performances. Pogba's best period at Juve was when he had the likes of prime Vidal and Pirlo next to him. Imagine the drop off to having Mctominay, Fred, Herrera, Matic, and Fernandes (who's only been there recently) instead. He does play a part in his own performances but Pogba was never the type of player to build your team around. He's the cherry on the top of an already built cake and United haven't even preheated the oven yet...

[@paulanders4339]

Pretty decent. Paul is not the cherry, that’s Ronaldo. But paul is the frosting that covers everything. But the substance of maguire, bissaka, rashy, lingaard, Fred, mctominay… it’s weak. You’re right. Look at United’s starting lineup since 2016. Any year. Can anyone of them beat juventus 2015 lineup? Or france 18? No. No.

[@prateekchauhan4280]

[@4thGenna.]

Exactly. It's wired and I think people contradict themselves without realizing it because they want to criticise 2P. Meaning, I see lots of talk that MU is a talent killer, but at the same time, chastise Pogba when he's been brilliant at Juve, and for France. So why is he being heavily slandered because of the supposedly "talent killer"? It makes no sense people need to stop because they're making a nuisance of themselves without seeing it. I don't even want to defend 2P, but just the whole situation.

[@KB-lt8xd]

Of course a big contract can make a player lose ambition. Hence why almost every foreign player who goes to a prem club that isn’t City or Liverpool flops, because they solely go to that PL club for money and don’t try hard because they’ll get paid regardless of their performances. If you watch the other top four leagues, the intensity of the lesser clubs is far higher than that of the PL because players tend to have a link to the club they play for rather than being a foreign moneygrabber like the players at Newcastle Norwich Watford etc

[@rohithraman6488]

"That isn't City or Liverpool" So no one goes to them for money? Not being biased against those two but why do you tend to leave out them? What about at Chelsea - Mendy, Azpi, Silva, Rudiger, Kante, Kovacic

[@Never_Wr0ng]

Hazards the worst transfer in football history. 100 mil for a player who had 1 year left. He'd be lucky to get anywhere near kaka's 29 goals .
