      Players who bettered themselves post Liverpool?
      Feb 24, 2012 11:49:42 pm
      Just had a quick glance at the Torres thread and got wondering how many players left Liverpool and went on to better things?

      Short list!

      McManaman won champions leagues and la ligas with Real.

      Keegan won European player of the year awars at Hamburg with a European cup (but had won that with us already) Wouldnt say this is being better then what he got here

      After that is it fair to say leaving here is the first step on a downward spiral?

      I would say so. Most players that leave here a) either return and win things with us again or b) stay at the club they go to as a flop.
      In order to do a, you nearly always have to be a flop.

      Any others ?

      No.?

      Xabi Alonso could go on to eclipse what he won at Liverpool. Time will tell.

      McManaman is one of them.

      Owen has won a Premier League title but hardly contributing to it.

      Mascherano won 5 trophies last season but also hardly contributed to it.

      Alonso so far has won a Copa Del Rey but that's not better at the moment as he won a European Cup and FA Cup with us. Could easily achieve more, though.

      Dossena has been a part of an impressive Napoli side this season; was behind Insua here.

      Mascherano was pretty important in the last stretch, when he played centreback.

      If you're going by trophies then you have to stick Mascherano there.

      And if Madrid win the league this season then Alonso too.

      Although I don't think either are playing much better than they did when they were here.

      Was coming in here to say just that one. I doubt there's a better example than that.

      Unfortunately for us both Alonso and Masch will probably be fairly happy with the moves they made a coupld of seasons back. Masch has won it all. Xabi has had to wait longer but I suspect he'll gt himself a La Liga title this season.

      No player I mean no player has/will achieve greater things after LFC bar Keegan. Masch has been warming his ass on the bench. Contributing F**k all to the Barca's success and Alonso had the best season of his life with us ie 08/09.Owen lost the plot after his exit from Liverpool.

      I'm sure Konchesky has had a few 90 minutes under his belt since we got shut.

      Masch started 34 games last year. Not bad for someone contributing F**k all.

      Mascherano did play an important role towards the end of the season last season. I think he played CB or something ..

      but, thinking about it, he will probably be always remembered as the midfield destroyer for Liverpool.
