Bruh Theo had a good list for once💀💀

[@StephenCarrIsBald]

Alvarez has started every single prem game bar 2 this season

[@DavidWilliamss]

A 'Fully Fit' City XI wouldn't have Alvarez starting

[@StephenCarrIsBald]

@@DavidWilliamsshe’s literally started every game BAR 2

[@tsjawesome6289]

@@StephenCarrIsBaldthat’s because KDB has only started 4 games this season and Bernardo had a knock in a couple of those games.

[@scuttlerjohn3240]

Think people can’t get over the fact they said IF fully fit… of course Alvarez is on the bench, not rocket science, it doesn’t matter how many games his started this season, if the teams fully fit, his a bench warmer, fact

[@Raaazzle]

@@scuttlerjohn3240he’s literally not that’s where your just wrong & clueless 😂 KDB will just play deeper 😂 watch & see, I’ll come back to this. It’s already happened btw but watch long term that’s what will happen.

[@ConnorTaylor93LFC]

I think Tsimikas is an under rated left back, fairly solid when he’s relied upon.

[@_lemez]

Julian Alvarez started 26/26 games this season...got benched the last two

[@snookerstones]

I think he’d be Citys 12th player if everyone was fit but you have a good point

[@pranavbutaney1898]

If everyone was fit and they had a game against a team like Liverpool he's not starting

[@AllenJeyson]

I wouldn’t have him, but gakpo has absolutely played multiple games in midfield for us this season😂

[@petermarckmann9046]

Would much rather have Elliott

[@aidentaylor6072]

It feels like he’s played midfield as much as st/lw

[@futureman6798]

The fact that Reev´s XI had no Liverpool players despite the fact that their whole first team squad has been out injured for the past month and they still beat the teams they are facing and won a cup is beyond me

[@JRClips4]

I mean If there Injured They Wouldn’t be on the Bench tho 😂

[@futureman6798]

@@JRClips4 no the players that are usually benched are playing rn, and are playing well. You didn't read my comment

Kelleher is without a doubt the best number 2 gk in the league.

[@lewiss7711]

@@garymaidman625😂😂😂

[@garymaidman625]

@@lewiss7711 what's so funny? He is. So much better than Ramsdale and Ortega. He is putting in world class performances since Alisson has been injured, so much so that Liverpool have not really missed Alisson, the best gk in world football.

[@lucasorritt]

As an Everton fan, saying Michael Keane is criminal

[@garymaidman625]

Best number 2 gk in the league is not Ramsdale, it's Kelleher. The las is absolutely class. He is the reason why Liverpool are still top of the table and in the running for the quadruple.

[@joemakepeace6652]

also absolutely vital in the two league cups we've won

[@callumstephens2879]

Joe Gomez is the best squad player in the league. Right back, centre back, left back, central midfield. And excelling in all of them

[@DrLithium203]

Shit in midfield

[@ACBandit]

"Excelling" is a bit of a stretch. He can do a solid job in defence, but he's shit in midfield

[@user-ik8ns3hg6t]

As a Fulham fan, Harry Wilson is our best impact sub. He's been so so good off the bench for us. Always changes the game and has 5 G/A off the bench this season.

[@thefootballniche4694]

Formation 3-Box-3 ( Rico Lewis Inverts into midfield ) GK: Kelleher RB: R. Lewis CB: Tomiyasu CB: Lascelles LB: Gvardiol DM: Partey CM: Elliott CM: Ramsey RW: Diaby ST: Jota LW: Trossard

[@Harry-dn6rr]

Theo actually had the best team

[@petermarckmann9046]

would change Gakpo for Elliott though

[@YFOC_Beast]

Gakpo has played in the Midfield a few times whether it be starting there or a midfielder coming off for another attacker and he goes there

[@Praket-qp7ft]

theos teams the best

[@lgallivan85]

Reese James the best right back 😂😂😂

[@lucag3523]

Kalvin Phillips is a shocker 😂😂

[@liambxxr]

No issue with them having Ramsdale but think Caoimhin Kelleher deserves a shout here. Been absolutely outstanding since Alisson’s injury.

[@sebastianselst2171]

😂😂😂

[@sebastianselst2171]

A couple of good games doesnt make him better than ortega or ramsdale

[@balders1538]

Gakpo has played plenty of games in the high 8 position

[@liambarr6783]

Gakpo has played for us in midfield multiple time tbf

[@matthewhorn6024]

Reev, Gakpo has played multiple games for liverpool in midfield this season

[@liamdodd6629]

Tielemans 😂 literally in Villas First XI

[@EggTwig]

Akanji? He starts most of the time

[@jishafish5691]

Not over walker dias stones and ake

[@stocktonorr4698]

Liverpool are the kings of substitutes, they’ve scored the most goals from of the bench I believe. I could be wrong but we are hilariously good off the bench

[@hyperrat12]

So no Brennan Johnson at all?? He's got 10 goal contributions and 24 matches and has been absolutely saving Spurs lately😅

[@eleazarbeltran6463]

Ben Davies is a great shout

[@jacksaxby7225]

So underrated

[@joemakepeace6652]

the confidence with which he says gakpo hasnt played in midfield when he players there fairly regularly should let everyone know a lot about everything else these guys say

[@Kevin-zi4bq]

Alvarez has started almost every game

[@Hosh2705]

Theo’s been looking slim recently

[@RyanzYT]

why on earth do they have Livingston merch hahahahaha last thing I would've thought to see

Akanji played city’s most minutes last season

[@nvgirl1807]

Tom is such good value for talking shit - at no point has James ever been the best right back in the world, except at holding the record year on year for the most back passes

Ramsdale Gusto Badiashile Akanji Gvardiol Jorginho Tielemans Elliott Diaby Jota Trossard

[@NickWaley]

Badiashile is a shocking pick and I’m a Chelsea fan

[@chazos4456]

so according to arsenal fans they have the best cb cdm and rw in the league and also best players on the bench and are still 3rd in the league

Say the same for Liverpool the last 5 years

[@salehr8770]

As Chelsea fan, badiashile was class last year and has been dead this year

[@joshdawson5850]

Jorginiho isn’t a bench warmer really. If we got to the UCL final, he’ll start. He’ll also start Vs City.

[@DrLithium203]

Hes an important benchwarmer

[@DrLithium203]

Also partey would start ngl

[@pranavbutaney1898]

Honestly it's been the tactical change at Arsenal. Beginning of the season they ran Havertz at the 8 and Rice at the 6, now it's more like Jorginho at the 6 Rice at the 8 and Havertz up top for hold up play and runs in behind. Right now Jorginho is a starter but over the course of the szn he's been more rotation.
