You know who I was convinced would captain Liverpool one day based on an interview? Steven Irwin.
Brendan Rodgers had us transfixed during his first interview as he made us all stand up, placed us all round the room to make a tactical point. He’ll win the lot, I probably tweeted

[Jimmy Rice @JimmyRiceWriter]

@dfitzgeralds For sure 😊

[Jimmy Rice @JimmyRiceWriter]

@HeavySeepage See my two in a tweet. There were prominent journos who were convinced Martinez was the messiah cos he talked tactics with them

[Jimmy Rice @JimmyRiceWriter]

Let me tell you there’s no less reliable indicator of a manager’s ability than a journalist being impressed by them during an interview

[Jimmy Rice @JimmyRiceWriter]

@pierre_rud53846 I’m fully Slot out. Salah acted ridiculously for a grown man - petulant and selfish

[Jimmy Rice @JimmyRiceWriter]

Liverpool’s statement in a nutshell: we were right about Slot, and you’re all wrong, but we will sack him to keep you all happy

[Jimmy Rice @JimmyRiceWriter]

@Simon_Hughes__ Spot on with this, Si

[Steven Kelly @SteKelly198586]

Re Konate, see Trent. Blaming the club for a selfish, greedy individual not signing a contract he had no intention of ever signing is futile beyond words.

Few of them better themselves. McManaman was at least understandable, he was treated like fodder in 1997.

[Jimmy Rice @JimmyRiceWriter]

@majora_somba Terrible - I want him gone just like everyone else

[Jimmy Rice @JimmyRiceWriter]

Salah and Robertson are legends, I love them both, but Salah hasn’t put in a consecutive good performance for nearly 18 months and Robertson two years. Jones has made a lot of goal-costing mistakes this season…

[Dougie @SnoogieDougie]

@JimmyRiceWriter I remember seeing he was criticised in Hungary for being lazy and it’s mad because he runs loads but he’s lazy in every facet of the game that matters. Doesn’t apply himself in challenges, doesn’t win headers, doesn’t run with the ball often. Just literally runs

[James @arghappy]

Correct. It’s the biggest identifier of old school reds and post Klopp success reds depending on if you idolise him or not

[Kevin Law @kevinlaw81]

@JimmyRiceWriter I’ve never hated a squad of Liverpool players more than this one

Full up jumped up,big headed, cocky twats more interested in look, image & social media

Manager not strong enough to slap it out of them & not enough Henderson / Milner type characters who policed & called it out

[Jimmy Rice @JimmyRiceWriter]

This proves my point entirely about this dressing room. If Szoboszlai is your best player in a given season, you know it’s been a bad one

[Stu @CerealKillerStu]

What a load of shite. He's comfortably been our best player this season. 🤡

[Anthony Page @AEP220676]

@JimmyRiceWriter Moment in the Villa game, he breaks at pace with the ball and his touch is awful. He’s a good runner with a hell of a shot on him.

[𝔻ëë𝕡 @anLFCfan]

@JimmyRiceWriter @Alan_Hoey Goes into tackles like I do at 8-a-side at the age of 56 - half terrified I'm gonna hurt myself.

[Jimmy Rice @JimmyRiceWriter]

I remember when Dani Pacheco was banging in free-kicks for the U21s and in friendlies and there was a clamour to give him game time. I can’t remember who all these years later but one of the coaching staff at the time told me to look at his game minus that party trick

[Jimmy Rice @JimmyRiceWriter]

As for Szoboszlai…other than his party trick free kick, and work rate, he has little to merit him as a top footballer and is the midfielder most guilty of slowing us down. He also seems like a bit of a bell. One of the reasons it’s very hard to love this Liverpool side

[Jimmy Rice @JimmyRiceWriter]

Wanting Slot to go shouldn’t cloud that what we’ve seen here from the players is toxic and, in some cases, directly contradicts what they were saying 12 months ago. A mutiny by way of Instagram likes is pathetic and doesn’t reflect well on the personality of this dressing room
