please log in to view this image When Jurgen Klopp went for him many people questioned his judgement just like buying Mane and Salah. It seems Klopp has proved many people wrong again..
I referred to him as the chunky gooner for a while but yes he has proved me wrong so far he has trimmed down and is putting a shift in.
It's proper treatment of the player, he didn't get that at Arsenal. He's getting coached properly now, expectations are high, and his fitness and all around game will obviously, have to, improve in this setting without the criminal neglect of players and lack of care obviously going on at that club. He also wants it which is a key thing. We'll just refine and polish him bringing out the best qualities
I do like Ox but I won’t jump on the bandwagon just yet. I think he’s been decent. Not poor, not amazing but decent. There’s a lot of positives in terms of his directness, speed, ability to beat players. But the concern is output - he’s got some assists and goals already which is encouraging but his decision making is still iffy as well as final execution. He’s a young player at a new club. I think he will get better under Klopp and I’m looming forward to watching him develop. Also, comes across really well off the pitch. Potential leader.
Salah was £34m Good job being associated with Chelsea and Mourinho reduced his apparent value massively
Could of signed a new contract with Arsenal and remained in comfortable surroundings in a good team in London but wanted to be the best player he could be and decided to take a chance and a reportedly lower contract to come and develop. Handles himself well on and off the pitch and seems like a really likeable guy, his attitude and character is made for a Klopp team and I think he'll be refined and developed in to a really good versatile player for us and for England both now and in the future.
He will seriously be relieved he made that move. Already looking much better and is still very early days. Love that we've finally got... 1) a player (AOC) that can take a freekick or corner; and 2) a player (VVD) that can get of the end of said freekicks and corners!
Jinxed Me and my mate had a running gag about glen Johnson who a commentator once said of glen Johnson that he was a great crosser if the ball. It was the last great cross he ever made for us lmao
