Watching the Mourinho documentary makes you remember how much better football was 15–20 years ago. The characters, rivalries, managers, players, atmosphere, unpredictability. Barely recognisable from the snooze fest it's become
For all the complaining English pundits used to do about diving, there's no team in the world worse for it than them right now.
That was shocking from John Stones.
People seem to be clutching pearls about Paraguay’s dark arts, but let’s be honest, it was a masterclass in playing to the line. Not a single French player injured. Not a red card. In the VAR era, that level of aggression is extremely difficult to execute. It was a coherent game plan against a superior side (and it very nearly worked).
If Liverpool didn't have a single player at the World Cup then I'd agree but given we have the Dutch captain & three team-mates, the Brazil number one, an Argentine World Cup winner, French international, one of Germany's best players plus others I'd say this is nonsense.
"Martin O'Neill, what an achievement for him, he has rejuvenated this side!"

Liverpool may be desperate to stick with Arne Slot, but that stance won't withstand the Anfield crowd turning against him. Today felt like that - these fans are just sick of watching a passive, toothless brand of football they have seen for over a year now.
I’m inside the iconic Crucible Theatre. What a stage. John Higgins v Shaun Murphy to a finish.
It’s one of the great events in sport this. Always will be.

Why are we allowing Slot to be responsible for the culling of our squad ffs? And why is no connection being made to the fact that so many of our players are deciding now is the time they want to leave lol
Klopp was playing this against a team better than any team Slot has faced and going toe to toe with them game after game. Proper top manager. Not the negative slow football, influenced by fear of failure, dropping attackers, sitting deep and hoping like we see now.
