Hugo Ekitiké MUST be Liverpool's number 1 ST target. Forget Alexander Isak. This is football's Victor Wembanyama. This is a generational striker. 🧵.

Speechless

The real question is what kind of conversations does Harry Kane belong in now he’s cemented his legacy with a Ballon D’Or. Is this a top 5 striker to ever play the game?

Lamine Yamal will win multiple Ballon D’Ors in his career but I think Harry Kane deserved this one.

Harry Kane, you are a Ballon D’Or winner. Honestly, he deserves it. This is the best footballer on the planet.

Real Madrid’s LW spot is now firmly Yan Diomande’s.

Obviously one of the finest technicians on the planet but it’s always the mental side that blows me away with Arda Guler. He has such a big pitch personality; comfortable absorbing so much pressure and seems to dissipate it for his teammates.

It’s for moments like this why I knew Ronald Araujo would be the perfect Liverpool defender; 2 intense but simple defensive actions. But it’s the level of effort and force exerted in each action that gets the Anfield crowd on its feet: this is what the Liverpool supporters want to see. Conversely, the Barcelona fans would not want to see Araujo smash the ball in close proximity, and gets a collective groan from the crowd.

He’s got a future at Liverpool.

Just 12 games into the season and Jeremy Jacquet is already becoming underrated. That performance that he put in vs Brighton was effortless yet it looks like a normal 7/10 display from him; this is the same thing that happens to Virgil van Dijk. Rolls Royce.

I don’t think people realise just how impressive these set of results are from Liverpool. The amount of top sides that are going to drop points to these 3 away (granted Liverpool still have to play Brighton away) is insane.

That’s 4 performances on the bounce from Florian Wirtz after the Man City game. If this is the floor level of influence that Wirtz can have on a Premier League game, then he’ll be a success. It’s all down to the mental; there seems to be a real confidence to every action now.

This is exactly what you want from your £100M+ signings; making the difference when it matters. Love the contribution from Barcola to chase down that ball but the movement from Isak is outrageous. xitter.cf/TGZ0050/status/2114361…

He’s moving with confidence.

I never sold my stocks in Mathys Tel: this is what he can do.

This is an upgrade on Emi Martinez.

England’s current period of dominance in Europe is greater than any other nations period. Name me another country who had 7/8 sides beating the rest of Europe’s elite comfortably.

This loan is doing Ifeanyi Ndukwe a world of good.

This has to be Florian Wirtz floor; the absolute minimum level of influence and personality imposed on the game.
