Who are the two starters for you in midfield ?

Thanks Dave, it must be hard for you to write at the moment, it’s all so depressing, isn’t it ? We’ll bounce back, we always have, but it may take a while though.

We were good without him (Afcon, injuries). He’s been a great player but his attitude and football have been a disgrace for a while, Klopp played it down because there’s lots of money at stake.

Exactly, the subs did not make sense at all, I can’t believe what He did at the end.

He’s a terrible player. He had good moments but he’s not good enough for us.

Gomez and Tsimikas in ? Is this a joke ?

Not sure they are all fond of Mourinho, surely not at Madrid, Manchester and Roma. And the players could not stand him at the end. Zidane has never managed outside Real because he does not fancy it and he knows it would not work out. He’s very emotional, he has no connections with Liverpool and England, and he would not be able to stand the weather, neither would Madame Zidane who has a huge influence on him. Tuchel failed at Paris and Munich , and was very fortunate to win with Chelsea. He can’t cope with pressure without falling out with half of his dressing room. Conte might be a winner and a good manager but his football sucks, every body would hate him soon enough. That’s depressing really.

I like it, it may be weird but it sounds a little bit like Ukrainian because of the nasal, lots of « Che ». Great people though.

Doing well in CL is a great challenge, isn’t it ?

The bonuses are like taxes. Once it’s set up , you can’t remove them even when they say it’s just on temporary basis.

Not a chance Salah won’t start that game …

That second half was abysmal. Even the subs could not a thing right, hard to understand. Why didn’t we play some kids if the starters are fucked ?

Come on, shoulder to shoulder, no foul.

Food, wine, love … ?

This Palmer is the real thing, very good player. How come City let him go ?

Dave, I’ve been reading you for more than 20 years, and that is probably the first time I disagree with you (except for your weirdo point of view about Zidane obviously but I have been to med school so I put it away). The worse miss has to be Darwin’s. He’s five meters away from the goal line, the goal wide open and he shot straight to the keeper. Horrible miss. You can’t miss that, it’s all about instinct, flair, ability I don’t know. I like the lad, but the pattern is way too obvious.

I wish I had your winning mentality mate but it’s not about maths it’s about momentum, we were dreadful today as we were Thursday and last Sunday (second half).

Exactly how I feel, can’t rep sorry, We’ve been so lucky to live the Jurgen era : trophies, exciting football, passion, emotions. Danke, Boss !

Great diary as usual Dave, but Aurier is a prick, he has no right to tell anything to Zinchenko. The Ukrainian has probably relatives and friends in Ukraine, his parents certainly. For more than 2 years, he’s been waking up every morning, wandering whether some bombs have killed the people he loves, the people he knows. What’s going on in Ukraine is horrible, it’s like WW2, many have ran away and live abroad. It’s still hard for them though.

Thanks for writing that, it must have been painful.

At least try to win the game ?

Didn’t Paisley win anything in his first season ?

Klopp will send a team to win and go through. That’s who He is. The league has to be the main target obviously but we can’t overlook the EL, even though we know it looks like an impossible task.

Feels a bit like Gerrard’s last game home and away, right ?

I know, never give up but don’t ever trust me …
