Liverpool Pundits by Galen
Whenever Liverpool pundits seem to talk about Arsenal I always feel as if they should be working on Liverpool TV rather than working at Sky or BT sport. Let me start with …
Phil Thompson.
This is what he had to say after Arsenal confirmed the signing of Alexis Sanchez . “He has chosen to go to Arsenal for whatever means and that will be down to him. He doesn’t realise what he has missed by not coming to Liverpool; the passion and the power that comes with playing for LFC, and the worldwide recognition that he would have.”
“He’s chosen to go to London and I think that will have been a big draw and I think that would have been the marquee signing. Arsenal have got that, but I like what Brendan Rodgers is doing.”
Really??? Sanchez choosing Arsenal just because of London??? Phone ringing…bring!bring!.. “Hello – this is Brendan Rodgers on the line. We are trying to build a fantastic team. You shall play with Ballotelli, Borini, Origi, Sterling, Skrtel and Henderson. Next season we have plans on bringing world-class players like James Milner and Danny Ings.
This is what he had to say after Liverpool signed James Milner on a free. “It looks as though we’ve beaten Arsenal to his signature and that’s a massive positive for the club,” I don’t understand why he had to mention Arsenal. I don’t just get it.
Michael Owen
From saying that Arsenal won’t make the Top 4 to saying that Sterling is better than Ozil. His bias against Arsenal has no end. I cancelled my BTsport subscription just because of him. You could feel that the commentator hated Arsenal.
Jamie Carragher
After Ozil’s injury early in the season, he was quick to praise Di Maria and said Ozil will never adapt. “If a player fails to adapt immediately to the Premier League, or at least in the first season, then he will not be able to fit ever.”
“Look how Di Maria is geared up in a very short time, while Mesut Ozil has failed. Following this injury he will be even more difficult,” he concluded.
To declare Ozil as a failure was a bad joke. Ozil came back from his injury and the rest is history. Di Maria on the other hand spent the rest of the season on the bench. Carragher is the same guy who said Suarez is too good for Arsenal. Why didn’t he say Silva or Aguero were too good for a club like City? Have you ever heard any pundit say a player is too good for Chelsea or United or Spurs or Liverpool? But whenever it concerns Arsenal, pundits become very biased!.
Do Liverpool pundits have a problem with Arsenal? Have Liverpool become our biggest Rival?
