Pretty sure it's satirical but you wouldn't be able to tell the difference to some on here.

That's incredible. I've heard of LARS surgery for a quick recovery but that's not recommended any more.

He was 36 at the time too so you’d say the chances without surgery were against him but I’d say mentally, he and VVD would be similar, that old school mentality so I can see VVD recovering quicker than most.

 

[hawkman]

He did also apologise privately as stated in the article.

Talking about Pickford. You used Richarlison's public apology to have a crack at Pickford

 

[bok_party]

Ah ok, so surgery for full tear and rehab/strengthening for a partial tear. Did you do the other knee? I hear that's quite common if you don't work on strengthening it enough.

Each situation is different too. I remember at 18 tearing my lateral
Meniscus and it had folded over too. The surgeon hadn’t ever seen it so they had to go in and shift in as well as surgery. Back then they said I could have replaced it with pig cartilage but it was very progressive at the time.

Pickford said to Henderson after the game to let Van Dijk know he was sorry, pretty poor IMO.

Who was Mourinho talking about with Moyes new Fellaini?

Didn't see any of the match and just caught the post match comment.

Geese you are boring Zidane98

Have to agree with you there. Guilty as charged.

Interesting. Was Mou suggesting one of West Ham's players are the new Fellaini? If that's the case pretty bizarre because Mou loved Fellaini at Utd.

 

[Cruyff14]

You might want to read the actual comments of this guy's twitter page before posting it on here to associate it with Liverpool fans in general.. Admits it is a parody account.

You would have also noticed an Everton fan who claims the Van Dijk injury is a conspiracy because "he walked off" - I assume you would have been quick to post this on here.



This is some of your poorest work yet mate (and that's saying something).



Willing to be $1m that you won't admit you got this one wrong.

Loonerty, inciting betting, again. After you specifically told him not to.

Oh I was just saying that I personally discourage it and that we as mods obviously wouldn't have any part in enforcing it.

It is getting very primary school though.

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Interesting games overnight. I would have thought at 3-0 up you’d bring on a defensive player rather than Bale.
Hammers looked so much better when they took the game up to Spurs, maybe 5-4-1 defensive plan needs to be given the boot.

Brighton very unlucky with that penalty, that was utter garbage and if anything a yellow to Palace player. Really need another striker.

Wish I knew Vardy was out for my tips.

Why bizarre? Maybe he was praising said player?

 

[Lebbo73]

Just because we managed to find a way to stop VVD

You found a way alright you dirty side of Liverpool scum.

 

[Zidane98]

Why bizarre? Maybe he was praising said player?

The implication I got was that it wasn't a friendly discussion. Still yet to hear the full story.

 

[HolyRioli]

Can we talk about the Sheffield - Fulham game?

Far more interesting than the dribble that’s been posted the last 10 pages

 

[Zidane98]

I wouldn't go that far lol. Plenty of Blues are good people.

 

[hawkman]

We brought Winks on as more of a defensive shield at the same time. Bale should have sealed the win away.

The goals were from a free kick, own goal and a goal from not clearing a free kick

Bringing Bale on was a very un-Mou like move, usually he shuts games down.

Tomas Soucek.

Gone under the radar a bit, but he's had quite the impact. Probably more of a DM than Fellaini was but would be in the top few for distance covered.

Yarmolenko did well to put him off just enough, also a nice ball for Coufal for the 2nd goal.

 

[Zidane98]

Hammers, it’s time.

This aged well.

Suffered his first ACL tear early in 1995 and returned inside three months only to re-injure the knee in his second game back. The following season he suffered yet another tear. The Melbourne forward's struggles are the main reason clubs adopted a conservative approach.

The Brownlow medallist holds the AFL record for the fastest successful return from a knee reconstruction, returning from his second operation in just four-and-a-half months. His surgeon, David Young, operated on son Tom this year after the young Bulldog tore his ACL.

The 'bionic man' was the first player to undergo a LARS reconstruction in 2008, opting for a synthetic ligament in his second reconstruction. He opted for the same operation in 2011 when he re-injured his right knee, returning even quicker to the NEAFL in just 73 days.

A quick return by conservative modern standards, Mohr was back with Greater Western Sydney's reserves in the NEAFL early this season after tearing the ACL in his left knee in July last year. He has said the knee is feeling stronger than before he suffered the injury.

Another example of a modern player pushing the boundaries following a traditional reconstruction, Scharenberg could play his first match this weekend in the VFL. The Magpies have still been conservative with the 19-year-old, who was physically ready to play three weeks ago.

IIRC most if not all of those were never the same afterwards. Often the case with ACL ruptures for athletes

 

[Zidane98]

Brighton bit unlucky with the Batshuayi pen, he was tugged but did go down a bit too easily.



Another horror scissor tackle by Lewis Dunk at the end, he really should know better after all the media hype over Pickford's similar challenge.

LARS is terrible for the body, is it even used anymore?
