Backline and GK is fine.
Rice, or maybe Mount in for Bernardo, Rodri in for Thiago, KDB is fine.
Salah is fine, I'd like Kane in for Ronaldo, but I'll allow it. Son over Mane every day of the week.
I just don't get why he's getting snubbed everywhere for these things as joint top-scorer with no penalties?

It was a really bad year for strikers in general to be honest. A lot were either injured or off form for periods.
Silva and Thiago would be in my team, Rice and Mount wouldn’t be close to it….
Probably have Foden in for Chrisy and him or KDB as false 9 with the other in midfield. Son would be off the left too.
Id also swap Robertson for Trent and have Cancelo on the right.

yeah not one player was a standout CF other than Kane/Ronaldo. There's a lot of just "fowards" out there nowadays. I was shocked to see Kane had 17 goals and 9 assists even after such a terrible first half of the year. If he had been playing that well all year long he's without a doubt in the team.

I was so confused because I thought you were talking about the City CB at first lol

Even Kane and Ronaldo weren’t standout. Kane took half the season to get going and Ronaldo started and ended well but had a big barren spell in the middle. City won the league without a forward and Liverpool had mostly Jota and Mane, who prefer off the left in there. Even lower down the leagues the likes of DCL and Vardy struggled with form and injury. There needs to be an real injection of new blood, in centre forward terms, next year.

Well yeah I mean if he regains his form then obviously will be too because he’s an exceptional centre half.
But I was talking about the winger from Columbia lol. I really like him, a proper street footballer with talent and attitude and he is hard. With a half year acclimatisation and a proper pre season he could be seriously world class there.
One of the most galling things about this Liverpool team is that they are everything I like in a football team, in terms of attitude and style and aggression. Far more so than city. The fact I have to respect them so much makes me hate them even more damnit!

I think they were standouts at CF. But I agree that’s in a weaker field. 17 goals 9 assists is a very good season. If that was DCL bringing Everton 7th place he’d definitely be in that team. Kane’s standards/expectations are so high so 17/9 is considered an off season from him

Yeah I suppose I can’t use the word “standout” when he spent the first half of the season acting like a spoilt child and didn’t look like he could hit a barn door. A standout season needs to be consistently good.

Wait until next year with Rudiger off to Madrid and City having signed T-800 as their new centre forward…

Finally manage to snag one of these from WorldSoccerShop.com last week in my size too! I’ve only ever seen Small remaining but luckily checked and saw a Large in stock.
These were so popular they sold out in most sizes only a couple of months after first releasing. I could probably turnaround and flog it on eBay for like $250 easily if I wanted to, it’s that popular and sought after.

Took his goal well. Obafemi was the best player on the pitch before he went off.
