Enrique is a football visionary because very few people in the sport would have constructed the attack like him after Mbappé’s departure. He recognised that he had attackers with elite technical quality who could produce unstoppable combination play (in connection with his technical midfield) so he did not want a proper 9. A) Kvara & Barcola provide good threat in-behind, B) their attackers are generally great at finishing from mid-distance C) their full-backs have direct attacking threat when they flood the final third so a 9 for box threat wasn’t needed. Recruitment is key but a visionary coach can be just as important to make the pieces of the puzzle fit together.
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.
10 years ago today, I lived every boy’s dream in a Red shirt.
Scoring against Borussia Dortmund in the Europa League at Anfield — the lights, the noise, the Kop roaring as we fought back in one of the greatest European nights this club has ever seen.
That goal, that moment, that Liverpool shirt… it’s etched in my soul forever.
Still gives me goosebumps. Thank you to every teammate, every fan, and everyone who made that night magic.
This one’s for the memories that never fade. ❤️ You’ll Never Walk Alone
Good luck tonight LFC. BELIEVE!
