In the summer people were supportive. All ready to understand if they struggled, was prepared for this season to end up being tough one to take
That’s end up happening and now people calling for his head?
My opinion is be careful what you wish for. Wanting him sacked with no idea who you want to replace him with is dangerous. Managers who can win league titles are hard to come by. You could lose a top manager, could lose good players and it go from a bad season to a bad team. All because we didn’t stick together
He’s making mistakes, the players are making mistakes. We know they’re struggling. Get behind them and get them through it
Up The Reds
I think we sometimes forget what these lads have been through. Today they walked into the dressing room and saw that empty number 20 shirt. They saw the family of their mate who will never get to see her husband and father again. They heard Anfield singing his name, and they went out there, gave absolutely everything, burned with the desire to win for him and Mo, desperate to score one for him too.
Yeah, Slot’s subs weren’t great. Yeah, it’s obvious we’re not fully in sync yet, how could we be? We’ve been out of competitive rhythm, not having played a proper game since April 27. But honestly, I’d put all that aside. Those things will get better with time. The three points were all that mattered tonight.
We’ll get better, no doubt about it. Everything will fall into place.
But what we too often forget, when we’re busy with criticism, analysis, and all the talk about football, is what’s beyond football, losing Diogo Jota, and how hard that’s hit everyone.
I’m unbelievably proud of these lads, of Anfield, of our supporters. I’m certain Diogo’s spirit will guide us towards silverware this season. The way Salah wanted that goal, just to dedicate it to Jota, says it all. And Anfield telling Jota’s family they’ll always be welcome here, that this is their home too that’s massive.
For you, Diogo. What an emotional night. A proper Liverpool performance. A Jota-style finish from Ekitike, Salah’s tears, the goal tributes from Gakpo, Ekitike, Salah, Van Dijk - all of it for him. 💔
The referee in the game between Liverpool and Manchester City, Michael Oliver, has previously received payment for ‘freelancing’ as a referee in the United Arab Emirates. Since then, he has been involved in multiple head-scratching decisions favoring Manchester City, a club owned by Sheikh Mansour, Vice President of the UAE.
Additionally, in the game between Tottenham and Liverpool, VAR referee Darren England — whose decision led to Luis Díaz’s wrongfully disallowed goal for offside — had been in the UAE less than 24 hours prior to the match. Dan Cook, the assistant VAR referee in the same game, was also present in the UAE with Mr. England.
The referees receiving payment from the United Arab Emirates, the owners of Manchester City, and consistently making the wrong calls in their favor, leave a sour taste in supporters’ mouths. The controversy continues to pile up for the team already facing 115 charges, excluding inflating attendance numbers to gain an unfair economic advantage.
