    Vertonghen been our best player by a mile, Eriksen in second though.

    Dembele played well in Jan and Feb, got loads of praise in the away game at Juve but asides from that he’s been pretty ****, mate, nowhere near as good as previous seasons. Massively struggled with form and fitness, if we have two games a week he can barely play in both. Brilliant to watch when he’s on form but I think his best days are long gone. We need a new CM in the summer or we should look at dropping Alli deeper and bringing in Lucas/ Lamela to go alongside Eriksen and Son.

    Salah gets all our headlines but Firmino is the key cog in that front line. He's a defensive striker, weird one I know, but what he offers is totally different to any other number 9.

    With Mane and Salah either side I wouldn't swap him for Aguero - it just wouldn't work as a threesome as well.

    Hope they've already saved Naby Keita his spot for next season team of the year.

    Ah a Liverpool fan who is not a Sterling fan. Let's note Luis Suarez in one season at Liverpool

    Goals - Left foot 1 Right foot 3 Headers 2 Teeth 7 Left Hand 1 Racist Hand 2 Shoulder stained with blood of latest victim 2

    But a goal is a goal

    The 2 should not be compared Suarez is one of the best footbal players ever and Sterling is a stumpy no mark with an attitude problem.

    He's a proper box to box man - looks like a perfect Klopp fit too.

    I know YouTube is full of hype but here's a little taster for you to hate me a little bit more..

    He'll be fine, we need a bit of steel in the midfield. Yeah he might get a few yellows but we've missed that since Masherano tbh.

    Mate I've seen him, he'll improve your side. I think you're expecting the kid to be better than Roy Keane but you're gonna end up disappointed, he's more like Roy Cropper.

    Wrong mate. Since we signed him I've watched about 6 or 7 Leizpeg games. Guy runs tings.

    I'd take Timo Werner off them too tbh.

    He won't be better than Roy Keane, but you never know.

    Look at our midfield though, he'll instantly give it a pair of bollox.
