🏟️ When Liverpool opened the new Main Stand in 2016, a new player tunnel came with it.
🖼️ The 'This Is Anfield' sign still takes pride of place above the doors, but it just doesn't create the same sense of anticipation that the original did.
🔴 The drama of the teams being so tightly packed into the tunnel, going down before emerging back up into the cauldron of noise.
It's just not the same.
Don’t care what anyone says about #Chiesa, he was never given a chance to play regularly at #LFC, never mind in his best position. The way he was treated by Slot was nothing short of bullying. There’s a player in there, I hope he stays and shows how good he can be.
🆕 Federico Chiesa is determined to stay at Liverpool and fight for his place under Andoni Iraola.
Chiesa has NO plans to return to Serie A despite interest from Juventus and Como.
Chiesa sees Iraola's arrival as a fresh start and believes the new Liverpool manager's style of play suits his strengths - @_Morik92_
🥉 | @GraemeBailey: Liverpool are weighing up a sensational opportunity to bring Darwin Nunez back to Anfield on a free transfer.
Nothing has been decided yet, but the Reds are one of eight sides to have been offered the Al-Hilal forward. The Reds are “very much in the mix”.
@BrianFisherLORW I see this a lot in soccer. Players wants to leave, the club refuses to sell and when the season starts they are, as professionals, still committed to the team. I refuse to believe this is the end of the road with Larkin, there has to be a scenario where he wants to stay.
@BrianFisherLORW That’s a fair point. But it just can’t end like this. I just hope the Wings stand their ground a bit. Convince him to give it one more season, maybe he changes his mind if they actually acquire one or two top-6 additions and shakes up the bottom six…
@LFCZA No way. Iraola might be inexperienced but he’s not a puppy that needs babysitting. That’s what Gerrard as assistant would feel like to me. Iraola needs to gain the respect of the players and they need to know he’s in charge. Gerrard’s presence would undermine his authority imo.
I’m way more excited by #Iraola than I would’ve been with Alonso. While Iraola has never won anything as a manager or even coached in European competitions, I’m extremely excited by his style of play and will have a lot of patience with him, as he takes this huge step to #LFC.
🚨💣 Andoni Iraola, set to become the next Liverpool manager as revealed earlier today!
The negotiations will move forward quickly to get it done with formal steps but #LFC decision made…
…Iraola will be the next manager. 🛑🔜
I’m crying out of joy, can’t believe it’s finally over! Just like that, my passion and interest is back and I can actually look forward to next season! 😍
With that said… thank you, Arne, for your contribution to the league title last season and good luck in the future. #LFC
Liverpool FC can confirm Arne Slot is to depart his role as head coach with immediate effect and that the process to appoint a successor is under way.
He leaves with a Premier League title to his name and our deepest gratitude and appreciation.
Michael Owen: “I think [Jarrod] Bowen is the absolute perfect replacement for Mo Salah at Liverpool.
“Instead of playing in the Championship, go to one of the best teams in the world and fill Mo Salah’s boots, it’s really exciting for him.”
No ordinary send off this afternoon. Two of the best we've ever had. Incredible output and consistency. Almost impossible to replace. It's been a privilege and an honour to witness it all. #Salah#Robertson
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.
