Xabi Alonso-The Liverpool Maestro

[A_S]

Players don't have to move. Pep says this always to Mario Gotze (jumps up and starts pointing). 'You! Don't run! Stay there! The ball will come to you. Don't move!' He shows clips to the team of Gotze standing still for 10 seconds. Pep works so much about the positional game. It is not about running everywhere. It is about you staying there and the others have to work to get it to you.

Bring him back Jurgen.

Weird. Some people want Alonso back yet some people dont want probably the greatest player who ever played for the club back.

[James Dean]

Because Alonso is pulling the strings at one of the best teams in Europe, while Stevie, brilliant as he has been, has been less than impressive in a championship standard league. Pretty simple isn't it?

I see your head is connected to your neck, JD.

He's 65, I don't think he'd cut it these days.

[Jairzinho]

He's actually only 28.

he's the universal footballer

[AngryOfTuebrook]

he's the universal footballer

Me, Stringy and 2 or 3 other owlarses just laughed at that

[Paul]

But, but, but... he only had two good seasons at Liverpool.

[billypilgrimnz]

Two more than most of the players we buy.

[Hand Shandy]

Meh. Hit and hope...

[mouse1989]

He just signed a new contract that keeps him at Bayern until 2017

[Russ Atmosphere]

No doubt introducing the 'if Klopp contacts me' clause, clever.

[Strontium]

He just signed a new contract that keeps him at Bayern until 2017

 

The day after Guardiola makes it known he's leaving at the end of the season.

 

Maybe he's being lined up as the next boss...

[Grinch]

Id still take a midfield of xabi, maschero and geriatric gerrard over anything Klopp was left with

 

[Jairzinho]

Mascherano would do more than enough running for the other two.

[cloggypop]

He's the only footballer I follow on Twitter who posts Velvet Underground songs.

[VladimirIlyich]

Cool as fuck...

 

Look at his bird!

 

*Drools like Homer Simpson staring at a Doughnut.

[Mark M]

I miss being able to sing about having the best midfield in the world. 

[Dr Nowt]

I miss being able to sing about having the best midfield in Liverpool.

Likewise.
