De Ketelaere has only played an average of 40 minutes in each game he's played, to be fair. It's really hard to get into a rhythm when you're being played so sporadically.
Met Richarlison when he played for Everton..... Nice guy, hope he catches a break. Bumped into the Everton squad whilst preparing to play Man City...... shout outs to DCL, Big Dunc, Seamus Coleman too.....great fellas. Ancellotti was too cool for school 😁 Mon the Celts 🍀💚⭐

Then back to square one, out AGAIN injured, only a couple minutes into the following match. Smh...Still, he's likely to be "The Man" at Spurs once Kane is gone, either this season or next on a free.
I remember on Football Manager 2020 I found Charles de Ket... not gonna spell the rest... Signed him up as a left back into the Championship, and even before the end of that transfer window I was getting Prem bids for him, which was annoying, and half less than I paid for him (which wasn't much since I was managing Middlesbrough...).

Cause he went from Everton bench player to being ostracised from Istanbul bashekshahir. It’s not that he didn’t drop off earlier, it’s that he he keeps finding new lows…
As someone who watches Liverpool each week, Trent isn't that bad a defender. He switches off (particularly on crosses to the back post) but the reason he looks bad is because he's overloaded every time. Salah doesn't track back and Elliott often doesn't so he is almost always having to cover two or even three players. The whole team has been misfiring this season and it's pretty unfair to target probably the second best playmaker in the league
While I don’t disagree with what y’all are saying, there’s plenty of times you can see Trent not paying attention, half assing or missing his assignment tho
If he's getting double and triple teamed by some of the best players in the world like the first Champions League final against Real I'd say fair enough but he's getting absolutely rinsed 1 on 1 by the likes of Mitoma. Also that switching off at the back post just so happened to cost them the second final against Real.
They got a new manager and got smashed 7-0 against Liverpool like they got bashed early in the season. Ronaldo wasn't playing then. City have dropped off, Chelsea have capitulated this season, Liverpool fell off a cliff. Nobody would've expected Liverpool and Chelsea to be fighting with Fulham and Brighton in the table. If they were still as they were last season, United arguably be 7th again this season.

I would love to see a 7 worst debuts video from you. We were having a discussion at work and could think of a few funny ones but I bet you could find loads.
And the midfield has been struggling because the attack isn't pressing effectively. I know the midfield is in need of new recruits, but the whole system is faulty. It starts from the front.
tbh I think if Richarlison goes back and plays for the brazil national team he's gonna be good again. He seems to turn up just for his country, maybe a motivation or comfortability thing
Raul de Tomas story is even worse because after his career high season he pushed for a move from Espanyol and they only gave him at the end of the transfer market as payback, he wanted to go free for bigger clubs, but instead they sold him to Rayo
Perhaps Tottenham Hotspur should switch to a 3-5-2 and rotate between a Kane-Son or Kula-Richarleson Front 2. That would at the very least increase competition for places at Tottenham Hotspur.
For the number 1, this is obvious because it was originally perceived to be a result of the so-called number 9 curse, which was happened for Fernando Torres, Gonzalo Higuain, Romelu Lukaku, and Alvaro Morata. All of those players were having a flop season with number 9 shirt.
Alfie, What on Earth is going on with Football in East Africa? It's the most underperforming part of the continent relative to North, South, West and Central Africa.
Thing with Trent is that he went from academy kid to first team star so quickly , Liverpool as a whole and especially Trent himself lifted a bar so high that it was impossible to repeat those figures every single season. But yeah he has a few holes in his defending abilities , marking and reading the game. That's why Klopp is trying to implement him into midfield right now , to take most out of his insane passing and vision but also to move him from the defence but i would rather play him on his real position cuz when he is in form you might concede few goals because of him but you will gain so much more on assists.
With the attackers falling gegenpressing on the defence of the other team, Trent was exposed as the poor defensive player he really is but he still a very technical player, he have a really good pass e long balls. He is not a fullback, he is a winger.
Brother you forgot to add that Aubameyang was dropped from the CL squad after helping them rise to the top and hasn’t had a sniff in 2023 meanwhile players like Gallagher Pulisic that have added nothing game after game still get played…can’t blame the man if he wanna travel to see his friends tbf Barca valued him
TAA would still be considered world class, if he was played as either a right midfielder or winger. He is creative, fast, a good dribbler and great passer of the ball. Gareth Bale started as a left back, but was moved further forward as it suited him better. Why trent's coaches aren't prepared to take the same chance on him and instead keep him struggling in defence, is beyond me.
It seems like TAA just doesn't have the gift of being able to defend. Like there is only so much you can learn without it just being a natural instinct. While his form has been terrible this season his weaknesses have been exposed many times before.
Loan TAA to Atletico Madrid for a season. Simeone coached up Trippier to one of the best defenders and he's even gotten Joao Felix to look average in defense!
Love your video always have... What about the best and worst interim managers of the Premier League think that will be a great video... Following the events at Crystal Palace and Tottenham
Best German players in the premier league of all time. (Day 476) I will not give up until the video is made or Alfie himself tells me to stop. Everyone else telling me that will be ignored. If you don't believe my number, just go back to the previous videos. I'm at the bottom most of the time, but I'm there.
Wait, woah woah Alfie hang on. Can we just do a check on Martin Hinteregger? Was playing as a centre half for Eintract Frankfurt last season, had his contract terminated by them in Summer 2022, now plays for SGA Sirnitz as a striker (17 goals in 16 games) who play in the FIFTH tier of Austrian football. Over 140 appearances for RB Salzburg and more than 100 appearances for Frankfurt, not to mention 67 caps for Austria. He won the Europa League with Eintracht, then subsequently retired at the age of 29 and signed for his home town club. If there's a quicker turnaround than that, I'd like to see it! That being said, Matty Longstaff scoring against Man U on his debut and then trotting out for Colchester United is a bit of a drop off.
Tbf it wasnt really de tomas' fault, he fell out with the manager after not letting him leave to rayo so they just froze him out of the club just to sell him to rayo 6 months later. Imagine having joselu and de tomas in the same team and not playing them together.
Still hoping for that Austrian Wunderteam video 😇✌. btw, Leverkusen have struggled immensely this season in the Bundesliga and were placed near the bottom when they sacked their manager and appointed Alonso as new coach (Leverkusen is now in the upper half of the Bundesliga again). I don't think Schick not scoring is the reason for them having a tough season, I think them having a tough season is the reason Schick hasn't scored a lot. Regarding Aubameyang: he did great for Arsenal, he did great for Barcelona, but they had to sell him again to get money and wage budget and Auba was happy to play under Tuchel at Chelsea. However, Boehly sacked Tuchel and started randomly buying players for 100m GBP and there was no place for Auba anymore. I don't think it's Auba's fault at all for that.
The real problem wasn't that there was no place for Auba, but rather the fact that Potter has an unhealthy obsession with playing Havertz as a Striker. Despite the fact that Havertz hasn't got the finishing ability to work in such a role, hence why Chelsea have struggled to score these days. The best solution would be to switch to a 3-5-2 (which works to Potters & Aubas benefit) and play Auba on a regular basis.
Aubameyang is kinda weird, but as an arsenal fan, is expected, the guy is absolutely world-class on his day, however, his attitude is awful, and he clearly was the guy Tuchel wanted, and since he was sacked in really dumb fashion, Auba probably doesn't want to play lol
As someone who watches Leverkusen , Shick has been iffy and clearly lacking on confidence, however, saying they are 8th is ignoring that they were 17th after 12 games until Xabi Alonso joined, and the whole team looked better
As a Liverpool fan i can state that his flaws have been the same since he burst on the scene. He's always been an ordinary defender who's awareness goes awol quite frequently. Even at his best he has been exposed, Napoli has done it at least twice in the CL. When he was operating at a world class level, his defensive short comings were covered up by our midfield and the high press of our forwards. I think he is probably best suited as a midfielder. Personally i don't blame him as he's doing what Klopp is asking him to do. The direct comparison is Robertson who defends much better and still delivers assists. Klopp needs to rebuild the midfield.
The worst part is he was sold to avoid FFP sanctions! The Everton board are beyond incompetent at this point, couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery.
It's not gonna be Nagelsmann any time soon, so quickly after his sacking. If Levy doesn't penny-pinch, and let Conte see out the season, to avoid extra fees, I see Ryan Mason at the helm at Goodison.
The name of this account always makes me double think that this isn’t a Rugby Sevens tournament sponsored by a made up bank called HITC 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 great video as always Alfie
Trent is not as bad at defending as people say. You ignore the 25 good defensive things he does in a game and focus on the 2 mistakes he makes. They didn’t win everything and run away with the league by 20 points in 19/20 if he was as bad of a defender as people say he is. Yes, it is the weakest part of his game but that’s because he is world class going forward. I’ve seen trippier make the same amount of bad mistakes and terrible defending, sometimes more, as he has in games and it’s never mentioned. Him and the liverpool team are currently in a dip in form but of course he gets video after video bashing him, one must wonder why he is feeling so rubbish about himself. Knows no matter what he does, he’s going to be called crap. he’ll be back to his best. Klopp’s system is designed around him getting forward and creating from the back, he is being asked to do 3 jobs at once. He doesn’t have the midfield to cover him so he’s having to track back and get as forward as he is being told to all the time. It’s the way Klopp wants to play and if he was told to only defend for a game, he would be completely fine at defending. But he’s not and Klopp wants him to play freer, a sacrifice in his game that worked when there was a stronger midfield. Next season, when they are back and have a midfield and he is back to his best, I expect to see a video here talking about how it was a one season dip.
The first game i saw son out of form, was crazy. Hé looked like hé lost all confidence hé ever had , in 1 game. Something bad happened to him is what i thought. Hé hasnt recovered from it yet. Like i mean, hé couldnt do anything right that game and ever since..he is struggeling
I would say he focused on only younger players, until the last pick, Benz has had a drop, but he is not in terrible form, 11 goals in 16 is not bad considering he had a lot of injuries, Carvajal has been ok-ish for years, Kroos is considering retirement and Mendy has not been as terrible as the guys in this list
Can you do a video on Napoli’s loan army. They have a collection of players who aren’t good enough for the first team who are in their mid 20s out on loan to many seria a and seria b teams. All within the Italian system. Can you do a video on this
How are Belotti's underlying numbers this season? It's fine to have playmaking tendencies rather than poaching tendencies if you have a scorer like Tammy Abraham playing beside you.
33 is NOT young for a player of Aubameyangs size. To not see the pitch is a helpless, foreign feeling that will destroy a player’s ability. The commitment to training is absurd at this level…only to sit and watch. Don’t forget, we saw Bale go from fastest player in 2017 to retired at 32. Griezman was written off, now back. These guys have played since they were 5. It’s one hell of a journey.
Are you a fan? If so, what do you think about Gerrard? It's typical for fans in England, and of the Prem in general, to look down on SPL, but I've followed Rangers as a 2nd team, since Gazza went, and thought Gerrard could've built a real legacy for himself there. Shoulda stayed IMO.
@@wolfmauler Beale was the man who took the training under Gerard and came up with tactics that Stevie ignored, when he went to Villa,i warned he plays 1 way and 1 way only but then again so did all Liverpool's greatest managers.I suspect he will now go into media full time
@@dotQuadcore I meant debut match but debut season would work well also. Was thinking it would be cool to do worst debuts followed by how they faired at the club and whether it had a detrimental effect on their careers
Yo Alfie. If you see this comment, please do the AFC Wimbledon-doc that Balham6969 keep asking for. I know he hasn't counted days in his postings, but you know just as well as me, that he's been asking continuously for at least half a year. I also want to see this doc btw. Probably a lot of people will. Fuck it "Day 1"
You missed the biggest fall from Grace this year: Jurgen Klopp. He has shown himself to be a one-trick pony, wedded to tactics ill-suited to his players, wedded to players who are no longer playing at high standards, and insistent on proving that TAA is a fullback while TAA is proving that he isn't. And Klopp acts as if he no longer cares. I know that your video is focused on players, but Klopp's drop has affected all of the players at Liverpool.
Trent been exposed mainly because he's not getting the midfield cover he used to get. Fabinho and Henderson not in form after injuries. Elliot lacks the physicality and can't cover for Trent. In my opinion, Liverpool should play a 5-2-3 or 3-4-3 for the time being until their midfield recovers their form... 3 central defenders Van Dijk, Konate and Gomez should allow Trent to attack freely and defend leisurely.
I have forgotten, multiple times this season, that Aubameyang is at Chelsea.
"Arsenal nothing personal...."
As someone who doesn't regularly watch Liverpool I don't think Trent has fallen of so much as he's been exposed more because of the team around him.
I watch Liverpool every week and he's been frequently very poor going forward and in defense. It's more than others exposing his weaknesses but that's a factor

tbh I think if Richarlison goes back and plays for the brazil national team he's gonna be good again. He seems to turn up just for his country, maybe a motivation or comfortability thing
I think it’s more a symptom of Tottenhams poor form and teamwork than Richarlison himself
Raul de Tomas story is even worse because after his career high season he pushed for a move from Espanyol and they only gave him at the end of the transfer market as payback, he wanted to go free for bigger clubs, but instead they sold him to Rayo
One thing you can always bet your money on here in HITC Seven channels is Freddie Ado will always be mentioned in 50% of the video.
Perhaps Tottenham Hotspur should switch to a 3-5-2 and rotate between a Kane-Son or Kula-Richarleson Front 2. That would at the very least increase competition for places at Tottenham Hotspur.
For the number 1, this is obvious because it was originally perceived to be a result of the so-called number 9 curse, which was happened for Fernando Torres, Gonzalo Higuain, Romelu Lukaku, and Alvaro Morata. All of those players were having a flop season with number 9 shirt.
Alfie, What on Earth is going on with Football in East Africa? It's the most underperforming part of the continent relative to North, South, West and Central Africa.
Thing with Trent is that he went from academy kid to first team star so quickly , Liverpool as a whole and especially Trent himself lifted a bar so high that it was impossible to repeat those figures every single season. But yeah he has a few holes in his defending abilities , marking and reading the game.
That's why Klopp is trying to implement him into midfield right now , to take most out of his insane passing and vision but also to move him from the defence but i would rather play him on his real position cuz when he is in form you might concede few goals because of him but you will gain so much more on assists.
With the attackers falling gegenpressing on the defence of the other team, Trent was exposed as the poor defensive player he really is but he still a very technical player, he have a really good pass e long balls.
He is not a fullback, he is a winger.
Brother you forgot to add that Aubameyang was dropped from the CL squad after helping them rise to the top and hasn’t had a sniff in 2023 meanwhile players like Gallagher Pulisic that have added nothing game after game still get played…can’t blame the man if he wanna travel to see his friends tbf Barca valued him
There's a couple Liverpool players that could be on this list. Klopp's got a big job to do this summer!
Like pinning the FSG boss against the wall until he coughs up the necessary small change for Jude Bellingham.
@@1258-Eckhart Hahaha yeah that's probably about right mate
TAA would still be considered world class, if he was played as either a right midfielder or winger. He is creative, fast, a good dribbler and great passer of the ball. Gareth Bale started as a left back, but was moved further forward as it suited him better. Why trent's coaches aren't prepared to take the same chance on him and instead keep him struggling in defence, is beyond me.
This season has been horrendous for alot of players. Im pretty sure less than 3 players have 10+goals and 10+ assists lol
Wild to watch this after watching Trent’s position change and mini revival!
Marcos Rashford’s form this year is a beautiful thing. Very inspirational and he deserves all the plaudits that’s coming his way💪🏾🫡💯
It seems like TAA just doesn't have the gift of being able to defend. Like there is only so much you can learn without it just being a natural instinct. While his form has been terrible this season his weaknesses have been exposed many times before.
Loan TAA to Atletico Madrid for a season. Simeone coached up Trippier to one of the best defenders and he's even gotten Joao Felix to look average in defense!
Love your video always have... What about the best and worst interim managers of the Premier League think that will be a great video... Following the events at Crystal Palace and Tottenham
Best German players in the premier league of all time. (Day 476)
I will not give up until the video is made or Alfie himself tells me to stop. Everyone else telling me that will be ignored.
If you don't believe my number, just go back to the previous videos. I'm at the bottom most of the time, but I'm there.
I would like to see this
You mean like a best 11? I would include the old 1st division too....
Don't give up!
Wait, woah woah Alfie hang on. Can we just do a check on Martin Hinteregger? Was playing as a centre half for Eintract Frankfurt last season, had his contract terminated by them in Summer 2022, now plays for SGA Sirnitz as a striker (17 goals in 16 games) who play in the FIFTH tier of Austrian football. Over 140 appearances for RB Salzburg and more than 100 appearances for Frankfurt, not to mention 67 caps for Austria. He won the Europa League with Eintracht, then subsequently retired at the age of 29 and signed for his home town club. If there's a quicker turnaround than that, I'd like to see it!
That being said, Matty Longstaff scoring against Man U on his debut and then trotting out for Colchester United is a bit of a drop off.
LFC's midfield is not able to cover for Trent when he attacks, it is not Trent who's form has dipped.
Oh!!!You have uploaded your video one hour earlier and this is a well informative video of this topic,good friend Alfie Potts Harmer!!!🏋♂️
Tbf it wasnt really de tomas' fault, he fell out with the manager after not letting him leave to rayo so they just froze him out of the club just to sell him to rayo 6 months later. Imagine having joselu and de tomas in the same team and not playing them together.
Bit soon to be suggesting a dip in Trent's dip in form a fall from Grace especially as seen as the whole team he's in have been off .or Richarlison .
Let's hope next season is better
Still hoping for that Austrian Wunderteam video 😇✌.
btw, Leverkusen have struggled immensely this season in the Bundesliga and were placed near the bottom when they sacked their manager and appointed Alonso as new coach (Leverkusen is now in the upper half of the Bundesliga again). I don't think Schick not scoring is the reason for them having a tough season, I think them having a tough season is the reason Schick hasn't scored a lot.
Regarding Aubameyang: he did great for Arsenal, he did great for Barcelona, but they had to sell him again to get money and wage budget and Auba was happy to play under Tuchel at Chelsea. However, Boehly sacked Tuchel and started randomly buying players for 100m GBP and there was no place for Auba anymore. I don't think it's Auba's fault at all for that.
The real problem wasn't that there was no place for Auba, but rather the fact that Potter has an unhealthy obsession with playing Havertz as a Striker. Despite the fact that Havertz hasn't got the finishing ability to work in such a role, hence why Chelsea have struggled to score these days.
The best solution would be to switch to a 3-5-2 (which works to Potters & Aubas benefit) and play Auba on a regular basis.
Aubameyang is kinda weird, but as an arsenal fan, is expected, the guy is absolutely world-class on his day, however, his attitude is awful, and he clearly was the guy Tuchel wanted, and since he was sacked in really dumb fashion, Auba probably doesn't want to play lol
I know he was a mention at the end, but I feel like Vardy should have been very high on this list
He is 36 tbf
@@johnmitchell2269 still the biggest drop off of the season
10:58 missed opportunity for a classic Ki-Jana Hoever shirt cameo
There was no fall from grace for TAA, He was overhyped by the media from the start
As someone who watches Leverkusen , Shick has been iffy and clearly lacking on confidence, however, saying they are 8th is ignoring that they were 17th after 12 games until Xabi Alonso joined, and the whole team looked better
Not sure how you’ve got Trent here and not Fabinho when Fabinhos dropped off way harder
As a Liverpool fan i can state that his flaws have been the same since he burst on the scene. He's always been an ordinary defender who's awareness goes awol quite frequently. Even at his best he has been exposed, Napoli has done it at least twice in the CL. When he was operating at a world class level, his defensive short comings were covered up by our midfield and the high press of our forwards. I think he is probably best suited as a midfielder.
Personally i don't blame him as he's doing what Klopp is asking him to do. The direct comparison is Robertson who defends much better and still delivers assists. Klopp needs to rebuild the midfield.
Thanks soo much please do part two of players too good for championship but not for the epl
I feel Fabinho has had a bigger fall from grace than Tent has this season 🤔
Agreed, Trent's errors are easier to see but Fabinho has been terrible
Next video about Maltese football please?
Richy wants 90 mins. He should never have left us.
The worst part is he was sold to avoid FFP sanctions! The Everton board are beyond incompetent at this point, couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery.
He doesnt want to play in the championship lad
@@speedy840 no he'll just get splinters in his arse instead. I'm not saying it's not a big step up. Just wasn't the right one sadly.
Day 1: best Brazilians that played for other nations
It's not gonna be Nagelsmann any time soon, so quickly after his sacking. If Levy doesn't penny-pinch, and let Conte see out the season, to avoid extra fees, I see Ryan Mason at the helm at Goodison.
The name of this account always makes me double think that this isn’t a Rugby Sevens tournament sponsored by a made up bank called HITC 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 great video as always Alfie
“Still only 33 years old” literally has about four or five more years at top level.
Trent is not as bad at defending as people say. You ignore the 25 good defensive things he does in a game and focus on the 2 mistakes he makes. They didn’t win everything and run away with the league by 20 points in 19/20 if he was as bad of a defender as people say he is. Yes, it is the weakest part of his game but that’s because he is world class going forward. I’ve seen trippier make the same amount of bad mistakes and terrible defending, sometimes more, as he has in games and it’s never mentioned.
Him and the liverpool team are currently in a dip in form but of course he gets video after video bashing him, one must wonder why he is feeling so rubbish about himself. Knows no matter what he does, he’s going to be called crap. he’ll be back to his best. Klopp’s system is designed around him getting forward and creating from the back, he is being asked to do 3 jobs at once. He doesn’t have the midfield to cover him so he’s having to track back and get as forward as he is being told to all the time. It’s the way Klopp wants to play and if he was told to only defend for a game, he would be completely fine at defending. But he’s not and Klopp wants him to play freer, a sacrifice in his game that worked when there was a stronger midfield. Next season, when they are back and have a midfield and he is back to his best, I expect to see a video here talking about how it was a one season dip.
The first game i saw son out of form, was crazy.
Hé looked like hé lost all confidence hé ever had , in 1 game.
Something bad happened to him is what i thought.
Hé hasnt recovered from it yet.
Like i mean, hé couldnt do anything right that game and ever since..he is struggeling
Hé
I'm suprised you didn't mention Carvajal, Kroos, Mendy and Benzema
I would say he focused on only younger players, until the last pick, Benz has had a drop, but he is not in terrible form, 11 goals in 16 is not bad considering he had a lot of injuries, Carvajal has been ok-ish for years, Kroos is considering retirement and Mendy has not been as terrible as the guys in this list
Benzema hasn’t fallen that much. He certainly hasn’t been as great as he was last season but 19 goals in 29 games isn’t terrible by any standards.
Can you do a video on Napoli’s loan army. They have a collection of players who aren’t good enough for the first team who are in their mid 20s out on loan to many seria a and seria b teams. All within the Italian system. Can you do a video on this
Day 2: 7 great players who never made the big move.
How are Belotti's underlying numbers this season? It's fine to have playmaking tendencies rather than poaching tendencies if you have a scorer like Tammy Abraham playing beside you.
He used to be the main man now he is Roma's 3d choice striker, I'd call that a fall from grace
I wake up in the morning every day hoping to see HITC Sevens Mention Freddy Adu in a video
You'll trigger some Liverpool fans with that thumbnail 😂
Van Dijk should have been high on this list
hopefully number five focuses more on football than TH-cam I believe WillNE can get back on form
How can u leave out Son Heung Min! Golden boot winner last season to virtually invisible this season.
Mo Salah was going to win the Ballon d'Or last season after he milk Ruben Diaz and took us to a UCL final, a major dropoff from our Egyptian King
33 is NOT young for a player of Aubameyangs size. To not see the pitch is a helpless, foreign feeling that will destroy a player’s ability. The commitment to training is absurd at this level…only to sit and watch.
Don’t forget, we saw Bale go from fastest player in 2017 to retired at 32. Griezman was written off, now back. These guys have played since they were 5. It’s one hell of a journey.
Chelsea and Tottenham have to be the worst managed clubs this season.
Right with the first club second is just that club and how it rolls
what do you make of glasgow rangers at the moment?
Are you a fan? If so, what do you think about Gerrard? It's typical for fans in England, and of the Prem in general, to look down on SPL, but I've followed Rangers as a 2nd team, since Gazza went, and thought Gerrard could've built a real legacy for himself there. Shoulda stayed IMO.
@@wolfmauler Beale was the man who took the training under Gerard and came up with tactics that Stevie ignored, when he went to Villa,i warned he plays 1 way and 1 way only but then again so did all Liverpool's greatest managers.I suspect he will now go into media full time
Italians who watched Schick in serie A before: totally not surprised by him being shit right after a good season
God, Son’s form is so bad he even missed this list
I find it shocking that Trent isn't played in midfield considering Liverpool's midfield issues
Klopp just isn't interested in playing him there
Because it's not that simple, it's not fifa
Yeah, if his strengths are more offensive than defensive just make him a winger.
@@jhaych where do you think he played before fullback lol
@@randommage1 different level
Hi Alfie, could you make a video about the worst debuts in history. Joao Félix at Chelsea had a shocker
Do you mean Richalison? Even Felix had 2 goals already. Come on.
@@dotQuadcore I meant debut match but debut season would work well also. Was thinking it would be cool to do worst debuts followed by how they faired at the club and whether it had a detrimental effect on their careers
Messi’s Argentina debut was pretty bad.
He was the best player on the pitch until the red card
Jonathan Woodgate at Real Madrid.
I am once again asking for a video about Algeria's unofficial FLN team (1958-1962)
Ok but Mount deserves a mention
He did at the beginning
Patrick Shick scores a hat-trick would be a great headline based on its rhyme.
How is delle alli not first?
Yo Alfie. If you see this comment, please do the AFC Wimbledon-doc that Balham6969 keep asking for. I know he hasn't counted days in his postings, but you know just as well as me, that he's been asking continuously for at least half a year.
I also want to see this doc btw. Probably a lot of people will.
Fuck it
"Day 1"
You’re taking a risk including the blessed St Trent of Alexander-Arnold, Alfie.
Have a bunch of Scousers flocking to the video calling Alfie a 'Tory' or a 'Manc'
Poor old Freddie Addu🤦
Am always looking forward to that line In every video 😅
Your Adu jokes have become more common 😂
would be cool to see a video like this but the other way round if that’s not been done already
You missed the biggest fall from Grace this year: Jurgen Klopp. He has shown himself to be a one-trick pony, wedded to tactics ill-suited to his players, wedded to players who are no longer playing at high standards, and insistent on proving that TAA is a fullback while TAA is proving that he isn't. And Klopp acts as if he no longer cares. I know that your video is focused on players, but Klopp's drop has affected all of the players at Liverpool.
Interesting how all these clubs seem to be struggling as well
1:38 intro done 😅 #thankmelater (literally, this will b more useful on other vids relatively light from the big man today)
Trent been exposed mainly because he's not getting the midfield cover he used to get. Fabinho and Henderson not in form after injuries. Elliot lacks the physicality and can't cover for Trent. In my opinion, Liverpool should play a 5-2-3 or 3-4-3 for the time being until their midfield recovers their form... 3 central defenders Van Dijk, Konate and Gomez should allow Trent to attack freely and defend leisurely.
