- According to Opta data, Kyle Walker has faced 21 1v1’s in the Premier League this season, losing 18 of them, a 14% success rate, one of the worst in the entire league.Is there a winger in the world that can get the better of Kyle Walker 👀💨
- It’s crazy, Thomas Müller had 10 goals, 6 assists and a winners medal across two world cups at the age of just 24. Aged 33, two world cups later, two group stage exists, not a single goal contribution more. He could’ve obliterated all the World-cup records.
- Jamal Musiala successfully completed 13 dribbles tonight. That’s the second most ever recorded in a World Cup game. He’s 19. 💫
- Had to do it...
TRENT PUTTING THE IMAGINARY CROWN ON SALAH FUCKING COLD SOMEONE GET ME A PICTURE! - Lionel Messi becomes the only player in history to assist a goal at 5 different World Cups. 🎯
- A captain with great understanding of the game, tactically intelligent, technically brilliant and leading by example >>>> A loud, shouty, shite , tough man act footballer 👍WTF IS THIS 😭😭😭😭
00:00 - Based on nearly a thousand of your votes, here is the voters all-time Premier League XI. 🗳 How does it compare to yours?
- I completely understand when people would say ‘that’s not how it works’ etc, but with Klopp and that 2018-2022 Liverpool side, the amount of trophies won honestly doesn’t do justice to how astonishingly good they were.Absolutely incredible what Jurgen Klopp did for Liverpool. So underrated.
- Most goal contributions in the major international tournaments over the last 35 years.
- In Ronaldo’s phenomenal Balon D’or winning 2007/08 season, he had 20 G/A by the time the new year came around. In Henry’s best season in 02/03, he was on 27 G/A at this stage. Haaland’s record breaking 22/23 season, he was on 30 G/A. Mohamed Salah is on 37 G/A. Yikes!
- As always, I like to add Lionel Messi’s 12/13 season. Completely to scale.
Erling Haaland is on course to score the most non-penalty goals ever seen from a Premier League player in a single season. Here’s how he compares to the 100+ times a Premier League player has scored >20 non-penalty goals in all comps. 📊⚽️ - For obvious reasons, but I don’t think a lot of todays young football fans quite grasp the insanity of the Figo to Madrid transfer saga. Literally the best player in the world directly joining his clubs biggest rivals, after promising he wouldn’t.One of the coldest moments in football history.
- Futbol ‘eritage 😭😭Klopp pulling his hammy after screaming in the fourth officials face 😭😭😭😭😭
