I spend a lot of my time wondering where I’d be in life if it wasn’t for this bloke next to me, and I tell you now I wouldn’t be where I am today if it wasn’t for him. My best mate❤️
IMO Gerrard knows more than he's letting on. Pretty close to Mo, helped him at a time of crisis.
Didn't criticise him and kind of helped him get the point across here.
For Salah to post something like that, he must have the dressing room behind him. They are desperate for change if they get their biggest profile go out publicly like that on Instagram.
They want change. They need change. #LFC
🚨🎙️ Steven Gerrard on Arne Slot’s words to the press after losing 4-2 to Aston Villa
“I’ve really tried not to believe that what Arne Slot is telling the press is how he actually feels deep down… but comments like that make it impossible to ignore now.
As Liverpool manager, how can you lose the game at Villa Park and then come out and say scoring two goals is ‘not bad’? That’s nowhere near good enough. That’s not us. That’s not the standard we set at this club for years. We go to places like Villa expecting to dominate, create overloads, score goals and win the match — not settle for a pat on the back after a defeat.
Yeah, we might still scrape into the Champions League, fair enough. But is this the type of football the club is planning to play again next season? Because if it is, then the standards have dropped too far. The hunger, the intensity, the winning mentality… it’s missing. And if this is the level we’re accepting now, then something has to change. Big time.”
I have witnessed this club go from doubters to believers, and from believers to champions. It took hard work and I always did everything I could to help the club get there. Nothing makes me prouder than that.
Us crumbling to yet another defeat this season was very painful and not what our fans deserve. I want to see Liverpool go back to being the heavy metal attacking team that opponents fear and back to being a team that wins trophies. That is the football I know how to play and that is the identity that needs to be recovered and kept for good. It cannot be negotiable and everyone that joins this club should adapt to it.
Winning some games here and there is not what Liverpool should be about. All teams win games.
Liverpool will always be a club that means a great deal to me and to my family. I want to see it succeed for long after I have moved on.
As I’ve always said, qualifying to next season’s Champions League is the bare minimum and I will do everything I can to make that happen.
