The problem with most #LFC "fans" on twitter is they haven't lived through 30 years of hurt, not seeing their team win the league for so long after winning it almost every year. That pain gives you character. It makes you appreciate your team and fellow fans who know that #YNWA.
So many injuries at the moment and a second string against Villarreal but plenty of goals in the team and we look much better than last season. Lapse of concentration from VVD but after being legendary for us for years he’s allowed one or two mistakes I reckon.

@Corballyred There’s no way Cherki was £35m. Probably £135m but they just paid the rest off the books. Plus still time for Wirtz to come good. Whenever he starts getting into a bit of form we get unfortunate injuries which sets him back again. Give Iraola time to help him.
Football is hard to love right now.
You wait 3 weeks for it to return, only to watch your side succumb due to a combination of injuries sustained on international duty, an inept refereeing performance and ultimately lose against a team that shouldn’t even be allowed to play.
Might be a Kevin Keegan moment (God rest his soul) but I will love seeing these City players have the smug grins wiped off their faces when they’re kicked out of the league in disgrace and all of their “victories” deleted. Their fans are acting like they’re the victims. Fuck off.
This is what happens when you put a Manchester ref in charge of the game. One who’s been paid for going to the Middle East to referee. One whose brother is a Man City season ticket holder. The refs need to be kicked out along with City.
Pundits reactions to Ryan Gravenberch's red card against Man City #LFC
Peter Schmeichel : “He knows he's got a yellow card and to give him a second yellow for that? I think that's really wrong, and that's a refereeing mistake.”
Freddie Ljungberg : “I think it's very harsh. Definitely it's a free kick, but that does not have to be a second yellow in this fixture.”
Jamie Carragher: “It's barely a foul. It's a shocking decision.”
Gary Neville: “It was very soft.”
Micah Richards: “That is soft. How is that a yellow card? I don't understand.”
Roy Keane: “I don't see how he can get a yellow card for that.”
Daniel Sturridge: “It’s never been a yellow. The first one is a joke.”
How long is the stench of the “sham” going to corrode the meaning, worth, and very essence of the Premier League?
Listening to commentary about Manchester City’s players matching the defiance of their ownership and triumphing in adversity.
Listening to fans chorusing the names of the men running the club, wearing masks or displaying banners of their faces and jibing: “We’re Man City, we’ll cheat when we want.”
Victory being framed as “a lovely moment,” a show of togetherness as though some grave injustice has been imposed on City, rather than their hierarchy being found by an independent commission to have orchestrated financial doping on an industrial scale.
Their opponents and the rest of us wondering if any of this actually matters now and how much of it ever did?
There can be no business as usual pretence. We need a full stop to the absurdity.
With Szobo, Cody and Isak we would have won that game. A referee from Manchester giving City dodgy decisions? Who would have thought it. These refs who have been supporting these cheats for years need to be kicked out of the league along with them.
#LFC#YNWA
City shouldn’t be allowed to play in this league. How do you think they can bring so many world class players off the bench? Their results shouldn’t even count. Send them down. Strip them of everything. Owners, managers and players in the jail. They’re all in on it.

👏🔴 Ex-Liverpool goalkeeping coach John Achterberg pulled no punches on Man City's guilty verdict.
He told The Athletic: "We were sat there thinking: ‘How can City spend so much?'.
"I remember we played them at Wembley and there was a big banner covering thousands of seats as they couldn’t sell out their allocation.
"Their fanbase is nowhere near as big as Liverpool’s, but their commercial revenues were higher. It made no sense."

If Liverpool had turned around and refused to fulfill the fixture against these cheating fucks this weekend, I'd have been fully behind it. The league has lost all credibility whilst their owners are still there. They have to fuck off and never come back.
Maradona was the best player in the world between 1986 and 1990.
The second best player in the world, in my opinion, was the man below.
Barnes could dribble, pass, shoot & header.
He was ridiculously double-footed.
People nowadays simply don't understand how good he was!
Jacquet is already France best CB🇫🇷
Kean kept pulling onto Upamecano tells you everything.
Absolutely no way Saliba comes back in ahead of him.
He is so comfortable in possession as well it's like having a midfielder at centre back ✅
🚨 𝗡𝗘𝗪: Incredible details on how the Manchester City investigation began and what was eventually uncovered:
• In 2017, a senior City official received what appeared to be an email from UEFA containing a link to a financial compliance report.
• The official clicked the DOWNLOAD button, but the email was actually a phishing attempt by Rui Pinto.
• That single click gave Pinto access to City’s servers, where he obtained THOUSANDS of emails and documents.
• The documents eventually helped trigger the investigations into City’s finances.
• Around £830M was found to have been disguised as commercial income.
• City are said to have breached financial limits by almost £100M in 2017/18 alone, Pep Guardiola’s first Premier League title season.
• Sponsors were even asked to pay bonuses for the 2013 FA Cup final as if City had WON, despite losing to Wigan.
• The commission found some evidence given on City’s behalf was FALSE and that some witnesses gave evidence they knew was untrue.
Almost TEN YEARS after that one click, Manchester City were found guilty of all but one of the charges against them.
6pm 2 October. That’s the deadline for city’s appeal. Imagine if after all this he’s managed to hack their emails from 2018-2026 and has been waiting for the first case to be decided before dropping a nuke on them… 👀
