I have witnessed this club go from doubters to believers, and from believers to champions. It took hard work and I always did everything I could to help the club get there. Nothing makes me prouder than that.
Us crumbling to yet another defeat this season was very painful and not what our fans deserve. I want to see Liverpool go back to being the heavy metal attacking team that opponents fear and back to being a team that wins trophies. That is the football I know how to play and that is the identity that needs to be recovered and kept for good. It cannot be negotiable and everyone that joins this club should adapt to it.
Winning some games here and there is not what Liverpool should be about. All teams win games.
Liverpool will always be a club that means a great deal to me and to my family. I want to see it succeed for long after I have moved on.
As I’ve always said, qualifying to next season’s Champions League is the bare minimum and I will do everything I can to make that happen.
Fielding an unqualified player gives an unmerited advantage to a team. It also bothers on deception. The Senegal case is different. No deception no advantage
South Africa beat Lesotho 2-0 in the World Cup qualifiers. Mokoena was said to be ineligible to play that game because he had accumulated cards.
Ref did his job, SA won by 2-0 but FIFA ruled against SA and overturned the score. Called it a forfeiture and SA lost 3-0, lost three points and Lesotho gained what SA lost.
FIFA didn't say because the match commissioner and ref allowed Mokoena to play the result of the game was final.
So to suggest that because the ref allowed final to continue, Morocco couldn't have appealed and won is SOMEWAY.

Morocco, Referees, Match Commissioner etc all consented to an illegality and even participated in it, go on to lose and seek to be declared winners in court. This is bad faith.
Although AFCON rules state walking off or refusing to play for a prolonged period is grounds for elimination, the decision to strip Senegal of the AFCON title two months after their trophy lift is a bad look for CAF.
It should be within the power of the officials in real time to disqualify a team, but it's a hollow victory for Morocco to appeal and win in this manner, weeks after the trophy lift.
Morocco accepted Senegal's return from their 10-minute walk off, gladly resumed play and took their penalty.
Missing it, losing the game, then appealing to gain the trophy doesn't sit right, even if by the letter of the law there are grounds to do so.
The team used to have ball winners in every department, even among strikers. Now even midfielders are ball players not winners. Mane, Firmino, Milner, Henderson, Wijnaldum, etc won the ball back ferociously

Semenyo isn't the winger who runs to the byline to deliver a cross. He is more dangerous when he receives the pass on the edge of the penalty box. He moved to either side and shoots.
