I would, because his delivery on the flank alone would ensure an extra 5-10 goals a season.I wouldn’t take him over Shaw or Williams.

I guess one could come to such conclusion by deliberately not watching the games, but only to the points column at the end of the week.Has it? They checked out after clinching the title, but until then they were arguably the most dominating side in a single season.
They probably won't but I don't think it means much. Same as how the Invincible Arsenal are not the best team ever in EPL (or close by).
Until Liverpool clinched the title, they were easily the most dominant force I have ever seen in EPL, and if they had a half-decent challenger they would have easily reached 100+ points. The only silver lining is that they fecked up hard in Europe (despite being quite better than Atletico), so I think that United 99 and United 08 are the best teams in the history of EPL.
Yeah I like him. He’s doing pretty well IMO.
Looked a bit shaky after the Brighton game but he’s steadied the ship pretty well since then with good wins against Sheffield Utd, Wolves and also tonight.
You can only play what’s in front of you and Arsenal away from home have been shocking for a good while. They were two important wins.Wolves and Sheffield were in shocking form when Arsenal played them. As were Spurs. Who beat them.
And Liverpool are already on the beach, hence they drew with Burnley in their last match and gifted Arsenal two goals tonight.

Liverpool have won already granted but don’t try and tell me they didn’t try and beat Arsenal. They’re just not quite as good as they have been. They’re still amongst a few teams to take points off them this year.
Arteta’s switch to the 3-4-3 has been very good for them.
Arsenal were rubbish tonight. I wouldn’t read anything into that result.
They'd won all 3 of their league games since the restart without conceding a single goal.Wolves and Sheffield were in shocking form when Arsenal played them. As were Spurs. Who beat them.

Both haven't lost at home aside from against Arsenal too.They'd won all 3 of their league games since the restart without conceding a single goal.
You can say we were shit tonight without resorting to ridiculous hyperbole.
Even disregarding the tonight, Arteta has done fairly well since the restart. Before lockdown they had a decent chance of missing out on Europe altogether and have turned it around. Fair play to him.
Nah, I disagree. They’ve won games they should expect to win. Then lost the lowest quality north London derby I’ve seen in years, as well as losing against a piss poor Brighton team.
Tonight was a freak result. 30% possession and 3 shots to 23. Not exactly laying down a marker.
Overall their results since the restart have been about par for where they are going to finish in the league, until tonight’s aberration. They’ve not been very impressive at all.
Yep.Both haven't lost at home aside from against Arsenal too.

Not really. Liverpool have been on the beach since the restart, and City even longer than that. Their league form this season has been a combination of weirdness and lack of motivation once it became clear they weren't catching liverpool
Meanwhile they won the league cup, and are favourites to both FA cup and CL
They regressed from last season, sure, but it's like they want from 10/10 to 9/10. They're still one of the best sides ever
This is Wolves we're talking about though, not City or Liverpool. Winning 3 games on the bounce, regardless of the opposition, without conceding a single goal is not "shocking form". Even if two of those wins were only by one goal.Wolves beat the mighty Aston Villa and Bournemouth by a single goal in their last two games before playing Arsenal. Since playing Arsenal they’ve won one in three. Wolves have not been in good form since the restart.
They beat two sides fighting for their lives to stay in the league.Wolves beat the mighty Aston Villa and Bournemouth by a single goal in their last two games before playing Arsenal. Since playing Arsenal they’ve won one in three. Wolves have not been in good form since the restart.
Yep.
It's laughable to suggest this Arsenal team was expected to win those games. I can guarantee if we check the gameweek threads on here before each game, the vast majority of posters would have had us down as second favourites.
You're arguing against something I never said. I'm not pretending our results since the restart have been amazing, or even good.Up until tonight you had 10 points from 7 games after the restart. That’s a 54 point season. I was probably being generous calling the results “par”.

I wouldn't disagree with that. The media has over hyped us as much as our own fans have.
Our fans should simply enjoy it instead of wanting to be held in some higher regard.
Agreed, we could have played another 90 minutes and not scored. The tempo and intensity is just completely lacking.Yet you were absolutely hopeless in your attempts to break them down..
Think it was Depay.edit: sorry was thinking about the year prior. yes Martial I believe.
Title winning teams this Liverpool side are better than IMO
Blackburn. Leicester. Chelsea 2010 and 2017, United 2011 and 2013
The idea they are the greatest PL side of all time is hilarious.
Good questionAre Maddison and Chilwell on the bench? Maddison especially, is a massive miss for them
Subs: Gray, Ward, Iheanacho, Choudhury, James, Mendy, Praet, Johnson, HirstAre Maddison and Chilwell on the bench? Maddison especially, is a massive miss for them
We’re already looking elsewhere apparentlyCome on you red and white wizards, you can have Henderson another season if you do us another favour.
I think he's pretty useful coming off the bench, but I do find it amusing when Rodgers takes him off to defend a one goal lead.Not helped by the fact that Rodgers seems to hate our most inform player (Nacho).
