Re: West Ham Red Card and VAR
Bluesince62Average? ????
The only players in that starting line up that have any real top world class quality are Trent, Robertson and Salah. Possibly Thiago as well but I'm more judging that on his time at Bayern. I don't think he has shown that enough at Liverpool yet.
The rest (Matip, Konate, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Henderson, Mane, Jota) are no better footballers than the players at teams such as Arsenal, Leicester, Spurs etc.
Are Matip or Konate better defenders than the likes of Gabriel, White, Soyuncu, Evans or Sanchez?
Are Oxlade-Chamberlain or Henderson better midfielders than the likes of Partey, Odegaard, Ndidi, Tielemans, Hojbjerg?
Are Mane or Jota better forwards than the likes of Saka, Smith-Rowe, Maddison, Son, Moura?
Maybe average is the wrong word to use as they are clearly very good premier league quality players but they are nowhere near that top level quality. They can perform close to it due to the great togetherness that the team has. Under a lesser manager, that team would struggle to finish in the top 4 let alone compete for the title.
