McGoldrick

As my son pointed out yesterday, it was the first time we saw Didsy score a PL goal! How many in yesterday's crowd thought of that?

Great fact. I've seen him score against Inter Milan but not in the PL!

He's our best "footballer" - it's as simple as that. As long as he steers clear of injury, I don't see why he can't continue for another couple of seasons. It's not like his game is about his pace. He makes up for it in touch, control, intelligence, he can still go past a player with that lovely drop of the shoulder and the body swerve. Because of his work rate and ability to win the ball, he can play just off the striker or in behind a front two.

From The Athletic:

During the 2005-06 season, Liverpool scouts went to watch a youth team game between Bolton Wanderers and Southampton at the Lancashire FA headquarters at Leyland.

They were there to run the rule over David McGoldrick but it was one of his Southampton team-mates who caught their eye.

“The left-back was outstanding that day,” a member of Liverpool’s scouting delegation tells The Athletic. “We went back and said, ‘McGoldrick isn’t for us but there’s this 16-year-old kid called Gareth Bale we should sign.’

Clearly Liverpool should have signed them both. Oops.
