Absolutely fuming. We’ve been handed an all-timer on Sunday, and we’re going into it without our best attackers because of a fucking 3 week international break
Sir Alex Ferguson already had Paul Scholes… and still tried to sign Steven Gerrard.
José Mourinho already had Frank Lampard… and still tried to sign Steven Gerrard.
Liverpool had Steven Gerrard… and never tried to sign Scholes or Lampard. 👀
Make of that what you will. 🍿
Van Dijk on Jurgen Klopp Bronze statue unveil at Anfield.
🗣️“I think he deserve more than that, a bigger one for him next time, he made me who I’m today, giving me the best opportunity to play for Liverpool back then from Southampton and yet till today, he made the club wake up from sleep.”
“bringing together fighters, guys who really want to achieve something as a footballers, along the way there were struggles and challenges we have to embark on.”
“Klopp never want his players to over think, the moment he realizes that you have loads [Pressure] in you mind he speaks with you and get things going well along.”
“It’s an honor to be part of this great journey/ story with him, winning us the champions league in 2019 was the best feeling ever in my career.”
“And he [Klopp] use to say, Guys try let’s win some trophies here so when we meet again elsewhere after here we will have something to talk about.”
“I can’t forget it, it pushes us to work and fight harder for trophies, and I can see what really he was saying back then.”
“Actually the best manager I’ve ever worked with.”
🚨 Oliver Glasner: “I hope Manchester City case verdict will arrive quickly”.
“The most important thing is the integrity of the league because as soon as the fans can’t trust it, they won’t watch it anymore”, told The Times.
🤯🔴 Never forget, between February 2019 and February 2020, Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool took 110 points out of a possible 114 in the Premier League.
All without cheating.

The issue is that Man City have an army of lawyers that are crawling all over the PL rules looking for any flaws or coups. My opinion is that the PL bosses need to have the balls to impose punishment NOW and
implement it NOW . Let Man City use their lawyers to apeal after.
🚨🔵🛑Rio Ferdinand on Manchester City financial breaches allegations.💭👀
🗣️Ferdinand: "Listen, listen, listen... let’s stop acting like we’re all blind in this studio, bro. You’re talking about over a hundred charges! That ain’t a typo, that ain’t someone forgetting to file a receipt for a team dinner, man! That is a systematic cheat code."
🗣️"When we were winning Premier Leagues at United under Sir Alex, we were going to war against teams built on culture, sweat, and proper footballing heritage. But what City have done? Listen, if the Premier League proves even half of those allegations, every single trophy they’ve lifted in the last decade has a massive, glowing asterisk next to it."
🗣️"You’re playing FIFA on amateur mode with infinite money, turning off financial fair play in the settings, and then standing on the podium talking about 'trusting the process'? Give me a break, bro!
People are scared to say it, but I’ll say it live on air: if Manchester United or Arsenal had done 10% of what City are accused of, we’d have been stripped of titles, docked 50 points, and sent down to the National League five years ago."
🗣️"You can’t look me in the eye and tell me Pep’s treble holds the same weight as '99 if the engine under the bonnet was bought with ghost contracts and shadow accounts."
🗣️"The fans know it, the players know it behind closed doors, and deep down, even the guys inside Etihad know their golden era is sitting on top of a giant legal bomb."🔥👀
🚨 Florian Wirtz on what Jürgen Klopp told him after the 0–0 draw with Greece:
🎙️ “After the final whistle, Jürgen came straight to me. He put both hands on my shoulders and just looked at me for a few seconds. He didn’t need to shout or make a big speech. He said, ‘Flo, look at me. Don’t let one difficult game change the way you see yourself.’”
“I told him I was frustrated because I felt we had enough quality to win. He smiled and said, ‘Of course you’re frustrated that’s good. But don’t carry the frustration into the next game. You played, you tried things, you created. Sometimes football doesn’t give you the result you deserve.’”
“Then he said something that stayed with me: ‘I don’t need you to be perfect. I need you to be brave. Take the ball, turn, run at them, make something happen. If you lose it, we win it back.’ That’s the kind of conversation I appreciate from him because he knows exactly when you need encouragement and when you need a push.”
“Before we walked away, he squeezed my shoulders again and said, ‘Now forget the 0–0. When you go back to Liverpool, go and play your football.’ I honestly needed to hear that from him. Sometimes one conversation with the right person can change your whole mood.”
