So average they have more world class players than Liverpool...who have none.

It's not always about individual talents. It's about the team. We showed that last season.

It's a pretty shit argument, anyway. I'd rather have Sturridge (24) scoring 20+ open play goals than an ageing (31, ffs) RVP, who's injured half the season and only scoring around 12 goals, including penalties. If that means having 1 world class player less, so be it.

In fact:

I'd have Sturridge (24) over RVP (31), based on their respective forms over the last season and what I said above.

I'd have Balotelli (24) over Rooney (28), because I think Rooney is extremely overrated. Most United fans are saying he shouldn't even be starting.

I'd have Coutinho (22) over Mata (26), only due to the way we play, which is a bit too high-paced for Mata, and Mata doesn't suit our pressing game.

I'd have Sterling (19) over Di Maria (26), for this season at least, as we don't know how well Di Maria will take the the PL (See Ozil's underwhelming first season, even Keyser is pissed off with him), and we don't know just how good Sterling may become, plus he's settled here. 

Who else have they got that's "world class"? 

I'd take De Gea (23) over Mignolet (26). 

That's it.

(I have bracketed the ages, because I also really like how young our best players are, which means they're yet to even hit their peak).

I stand by everything I said there. I'd still take Sturridge over RVP, Balotelli over Rooney, Coutinho over Mata, Sterling over Di Maria and De Gea over Mignolet.

Weird or not, he's been picking football teams for 20 or 30 years and he though that Jones, a very bad centre back who is as intelligent as he looks, was a better option at right back than Clyne.  While I'd argue that Clyne is probably better the fact that Hodgson does that shows it's not clear cut.

Sturridge over RVP?  Maybe he can beat him at FIFA when they're both in the hospital.
Balotelli over Rooney - Christ.
Coutinho over Mata - Ridiculous
Sterling over Di Maria - Even more ridiculous.  Di Maria hardly started a match for much of last season and still created a lot more than this overhyped little scumbag
De Gea over Mignolet - But both behind Bodgan, right?

Amazing how we finished 8 points ahead of you and slapped you around home and away with such inferior players.

Not really.

I'd have Aguero over Sturridge

Costa over Balotelli

Sanchez over Coutinho

Hazard over Sterling

De Gea isn't a Liverpool player.

De Gea isn't a Liverpool player.

But you'd have Balotelli over Rooney on the basis that a few United fans wanted Rooney dropped.  

Ah you'd have De Gea over Mignolet, can't be biased at all then.

Can't always be right. You guys thought Giroud would score 20 in the League the season before the last. He didn't. (He failed to do so again last season, despite the service of a more accustomed Ozil and Sanchez). You also thought you'd finish ahead of us the season before last (you were so confident, that you put £1250 on it) and we wiped the floor with you.

Ah, just ignoring the list of players I'd take over the Liverpool players listed because it doesn't suit your narrative? Cool.

Wiped the floor with them?  You finished 5 points ahead of them.  That's less than two wins difference.  That's nothing.

It's fine he got like 22 overall, he scored goals in a competition Liverpool have only qualified for once in the last five years. Congratulations, you got lucky, variance happens. 

No, it was a moronic point. Your stupid logic (The Liverpool fan attitude I've referred to previously) suggests that if you concede a player is better than a Liverpool player (Such as Aguero>Sturridge) it means that you can't be biased at all which is why you always think you're making a good point when you bring up Ings as a reason to why you can't be biased regarding someone such as Clyne or Milner joining Liverpool for example.

Doesn't matter, it was clearly stated by several of you that you were talking about 20 goals in the League only.

Lmao, when I'm wrong it's moronic, when you're wrong it's down to variance How convenient. Doesn't work like that, I'm afraid.

I've never said I wasn't biased. Of course I am. You're biased too. I was merely making the point that just because I've gotten behind the signing of Clyne, that doesn't mean I'm "up his arse".

By your logic, I'd start bumming every single player who came here, but as I've already said, my disgust at Ings proves your logic to be flawed.

You then idiotically claimed that I was only taking Sturridge, Balotelli, Coutinho and Sterling over those United players because they're Liverpool players, yet the fact I picked De Gea over Mignolet shits on that simpleton claim too.

I then went a step further and listed other players I'd have over that Liverpool quadrant, you know, just to hammer it home to you, but your stunted brain clearly can't comprehend it.

If required, I could list many players I'd have ahead of that Liverpool quadrant.

But wait, they're Liverpool players.. Oh no, that must mean they're irreplaceable in my biased eyes.

As for the bit I've bolded, funny dig, but at least I've seen us win it You probably never will
