It's so sad that our fans belittle our players and dismiss their achievements. A quick search throws up
Manninger
Lovren
Matip
Klaven
Milner
Moreno
Can
Lucas
Henderson
Gini
Lallana
Sturridge
Coutinho
Mane
Have all won trophies, including European ones and League Titles but no, our kids have nobody to learn off
Oh and just to add Clyne and Gomez have also won International trophies playing for England.
There's probably more but 16 players with winners medals is more than enough I'd have thought.
A cursory check reveals:
Moreno won
one cup with Seville. If you want him as a role model for our youth Academy you're daft in the head.
Henderson won
one cup with Liverpool.
Lallana won the Football League Trophy. A competition for lower division clubs.
Mane had one successful season in the Austrian Bundesliga.
Klavan won two league titles and a Supercup. One in the Netherlands, the others in Estonia.
Lucas, at senior level, won the league cup with us in 2012, and two league titles in Brazil where he made 38 appearances in 3 years.
Matip won the German equivalent to the FA Cup and Super Cup. He has no league titles to his name.
Manninger is not a first team player. He's not even a squad player. He's made a grand total of no appearances for Liverpool.
Sturridge won honours by association, not action. He was not a first team player.
Coutinho won honours by association, not action. He was not a first team player.
Emre Can honours are by association, not act, all coming with Bayern Munich with whom he made four appearances.
Of our most successful players:
Gini is by far our most experienced player when it comes to winning, but has hasn't won anything in England. It could be argued that Milner is our most experienced player when it comes to winning things in England but he was a squad player at City where the honours were achieved, so it's debatable how much influence he had on their success.
Let's compare this to Rush who won five league titles, two European Cups, three FA Cups, five League Cups and two Charity Shields. Or Mølby who won three league titles, three FA Cups and a league cup with us, or of the trio mentioned, Barnes who won a paltry two League Titles, two FA Cups and a League cup. The differences in the level of experience between the 1993-94 Squad and the 2016-17 season can not be compared. Perhaps next time you should be the one doing your research. Until we get experience throughout the squad, until we start winning things, the pressure to instantly perform will continue.
