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.
FT: Manchester City 3–0 Liverpool
Liverpool had what looked like an equaliser that would’ve made it 1–1 and might have changed the course of the match, but it was ruled offside by the assistant referee and confirmed by VAR.
Assistants: Stuart Burt, Dan Cook
VAR: Michael Oliver
Some good, tidy process from the referees formerly employed in the UAE, that.
Michael Edwards on the decision to retire Diogo Jota’s number 20:
As a club, we were all acutely aware of the sentiment of our supporters – and we felt exactly the same way.
It was vitally important to us to involve Diogo’s wife, Rute, and his family in the decision and to ensure they were the first to know of our intention.
I believe this is the first time in Liverpool Football Club’s history that such an honour has been bestowed upon an individual. Therefore, we can say this is a unique tribute to a uniquely wonderful person.
By retiring this squad number, we are making it eternal – and therefore never to be forgotten.
Diogo joined us in 2020, he won us number 20, and he wore – with honour, distinction and affection – the number 20.
As far as Liverpool Football Club is concerned, he will be forever our number 20.

Neil and cirkin in the crowd…
Jobe brought to tears smashing the beach ball, bent style.
