Fuck the owners for that timing. Announce it last week and give him the final game and give him a nice send off.
Instead a league winning manager for Liverpool sat on the bench alone staring into the void feeling isolated.
Absolute joke.
Deep down, you can tell he's a genuinely good fella. The way he handled everything that happened off the pitch during the summer was excellent, and that first season was unbelievable. It's sad how it all ended, but he'll always be remembered for delivering that league title.
Is it just me who thinks today felt a bit off? Especially a feeling I felt we didn’t put enough justice for Robertson and Salah, who’s been here for 9 years to not say a few words to the crowd?
A lot of disconnect from the club this season, it’s quite sad tbh.
