I'll watch the match later but I absolutely would never have guessed Jones in the Top 3 going by the match thread 😂

Pity votes heavily swayed by 1 pass, he was shite.

Mac came on and in 30 mins he played the pass of the match (to Jones) who fucked up the chance, had his point blank effort saved which Mo followed in with and had the effort of the match from about 25 yards which Fabianski sublimely tipped onto the post.

We went up about 50 levels when he and Mo came on. He ran the final third of the game.

This is all bullshit you guys deliberately downgrading Jones, I know your tricks.

I actually agree, it was between him and Endo for me. I honestly didn't think there were three standouts, there was one...Jota.
Gakpo scored twice against an already defeated side with 10 men on the pitch.

Gakpo and Jota were both pretty good, the rest were just meh.

Jota right place right time to get 2 poachers goal and Gakpo had a goal bound effort which deflected just wide and he was heavily involved in the first, so credit there.

If people want to give Jones a "yeah whatever" last vote to ease the grief he's been getting, that's fine.

 

[Hyena]

Didn't watch the match. How were Endo and Morton?

And is there hope for our 2nd team back four?

On P5 of the Pre& Match thread is a link from Squiggles for the highlights or full match.

Honestly Endo was one of our better players. Did what he usually does, won the ball a few times, played it simple, nothing extraordinary. Unfortunately we've been seeing what Gravenberch offers lately and if it wasn't for him you'd be seeing more positive comments about Endo here.
Yesterday was a confirmation that he's just too limited to play for us. Still a 6.5 performance.

Morton was meh...barely noticed him, but he only got like 15 mins.

Curtis much improved when he was less of a partner to endo. First half he seemed unwilling/unable to go too far forward.

He was fine. But as you say, gravy has spoiled us. There's a sizeable drop off, and this was against an atrocious west ham side

If Curtis is ever not part of your top 3, @moron, will you dislike your own post? 🙂

I am very fair on Curtis's performances - if he does bad - I will call it out first. The problem is that there are too many LFC fans on social media and on here that have an automatic anti-Curtis switch. People keep saying he doodles on the ball for too long - at least when he does that it don't lead to the opposition getting the ball off him and getting into dangerous areas or scoring - I can name at least 3 incidents last season where Mac10 cost us by not releasing the ball quick enough - but of course people like to forget those costly games don't they ? Its a disgrace really - I would not put Mac10 anywhere near the 6 position but some seem to think he will be OK.


I don't like that, and I also have noticed the false hate on Endo - I think there is a general believe that if people put down Endo - the club will suddenly go and buy a DM. I think Endo has a lot to offer in a formation where he is the main DM guarding the defence - the guy has this 6th sense which detects danger and has proven last season that he is outstanding against top sides. As I kept mentioning this is the guy who is captain of Japan - and has held Rodri in midfield playing for us, and for Japan knocking them out of the world cup. Then he fucked over Gundo's Germany in a friendly 4-0 (in Germany). All this bullshit about him passing sideways and backwards, if anything last season at times he was passing forward so much - I thought he really was not a DM.

 

[MomoWASright]

Easiest count of the season. Jota wins it with 13 first places (scoring 65 points), Gakpo scores 36 and Jones 14.

Only Salah, Mac and Bradley had mentions but nowhere enough to challenge the top 3.

Time to lock the thread.
