Obvious bias, but the storyline this year I’m most excited about is the emergence of Trent Alexander Arnold in the midfield. He’s been crushing it with England lately
I am also looking forward to this storyline
Definitely. I've got no skin in the game with regard to Liverpool and England, but I hope Trent's going to kill it this season.
I think Deli Alli's storyline has perhaps now become THE storyline in the league for next season, in terms of individual players at least, for entirely different reasons of course. I hope to see him on the pitch more and more, putting in good performances, as the season progresses. Ideally with Everton, but maybe a bit more breathing space in a foreign league would make more sense for all involved (if the opportunity is there).
Rooting for Dele to get back to his former glory.
Honestly it’d be amazing to see him back, even if it’s just putting in a shift at Everton or on loan in the championship tbh. However I’m still weary about how much time he’s really going to need, in the interview he said he’d only left that rehab 3 weeks ago so the hardest is still to come, fingers crossed though! Fuck the press for pressuring him into bringing this to light so soon too, absolute rats
Did they? I thought he wanted to put this out there to help others…but either way, incredibly brave of him to be so open and honest about his past, especially in a sport where that can be easily weaponized against you from opposing fans.
What I gathered from the interview was he would’ve rather done an interview on his terms however the British press were hounding Everton and his people claiming they knew where he’d been the past few months (rehab) and were going to break the news regardless whether he wanted to or not and in their words.
Which is pretty fucked up but classic british press. I can’t imagine what it’s like to be a public figure and out of life changing rehab for less than a month. Then before even fully processing life now he’s cornered into telling his story so no-one else does. It’s obviously amazing to tell it to help other people but it must still be so fresh and unstable for him.
British press will happily not report the name of a nonce BBC news reader for 5 days so they can get their story straight. Yet when it comes to a footballer dealing with his own trauma they’ll do whatever they want. Sorry for the rant but the media over here when it comes to football is just sickly.
