FIFA have released their shortlist for the FIFPro Men’s World11 award and seven of Liverpool’s players have been nominated.
Alisson, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Andy Robertson, Virgil van Dijk, Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino have all had their names shortlisted and will be hoping to make it into the final XI.
The team will be revealed on 23rd September and the European champions are expected to feature heavily when it is announced.
However, these Liverpool fans can’t believe that only seven of their players are nominated…
@AyaanHafiz1: ‘The fact that Hendo or Fabinho didn’t make it is just disrespectful!’
@2ndTag: “Should have been 12.”
@CapFreddie: “Only 7?! I demand a recount.”
@TheodoortjeFR: “At least 1 of our midfielders should be nominated.”
@01Liverpool1: “No Fabinho / hendo / gini one deserved a place.”
@Moni_Creates: “My Henderson should be there, don’t disrespect him Though happy for Firmino.”
@alanc80: “Hendo? Fabinho? Gini? Milner?”
READ LIVERPOOL VERDICT
Liverpool had a remarkable campaign last season and the fans have every right to feel dejected at only having seven players nominated.
Fabinho, Jordan Henderson, Gini Wijnaldum and James Milner were all key members of the team as they went on to lift the UEFA Champions League trophy, so at least one of them should have been included.
All four are massively underrated and this only further proves that the crucial job they do for Jurgen Klopp’s side goes unnoticed.
That being said, the players who have been nominated should all feel confident of making the final team – having seven players nominated is a great achievement in itself.
