@LateChallenge When I properly introduced my wife to LFC, Jota was a new signing at the time, so he was one of the players she always remembered. Before each game, we’d try to guess the first scorer for a coffee bet, and she’d often pick Jota. He shall always be remembered by us all.
@LateChallenge That late goal & celebration against Spurs - could watch that on repeat. That was the player he was and shall be remembered by - a clinical finisher, always worked hard for the team. Forever our number 20. RIP Diogo and André
I think we’ve all been taken aback by how profound an effect this is having on us.
I certainly have.
The fact this is uncharted territory is why it feels unprecedented- we’ve never lost a player like that in the prime of their career, one we’ve watched and celebrated for years.
But it only stands to reason that someone who brought us so much happiness and joy, someone who made our lives better and gave us moments we will remember forever, would have an impact of this magnitude on us all.
And whilst we didn’t have to know him personally, in the end it felt like we did.
And for that reason Diogo Jota will always be symbolic of the love and unity of Liverpool, and that’s a beautiful thing.
Know I’m not alone with this particular ‘hot-take’ but moving to a country where it’s illegal to be in a same-sex relationship after being the most vocal champion of LGBTQ rights is an almost dictionary definition of hypocrisy. This has all been handled so poorly from Henderson.
Mo Salah becomes the first #LFC player to score in nine successive home matches as he nets his 100th goal at Anfield.
That's now 30 for him in all comps this season and he's moved level with Steven Gerrard's tally of 186 goals, joint fifth on the club’s all-time scorers list.
Richarlison scoring his first league goal of the season and going wild to watch us get the winner moments later is perhaps the most Everton thing I have ever seen.
