Fred Oldfield

Dave and others, You may be right about us slipping back, but there is always 'worry' near the surface, particularly during close season. We had similar when Couthino left -'Why aren't we buying X, Y, or Z etc?' I can't see that the team are 'ageing'; we have a couple in the 'approaching 30' category and Milner is 34. The rest aren't 'ageing' are they? I don't think I am suffering from 'blind faith', but basically I trust the manager's judgement. He has gotten more or less everything right so far...let's wait and see..

Well, I calmed down today as the day went on, but the way we lost was a fucking sickener. I was confident if we’d gotten through this one we could go all the way again. As usual Dave, you cover all the bases and I’m taking heart from your point of view at the end - yep, we’ll be back - and we owe these scummers as well as Napoli...

Good perspective there Dave. I live in the Midlands and saw us get tanked several times at Coventry in the 70s - not to mention a 5-1 loss to Villa in December 1976. Can’t be helped. Agree, that Atletico looks like it will be a severe test. Last time we played them in 2010 it went to ET didn’t it....and they scored in the very last minute to go through on away goals..

ZonkoVille77 - you summed it up perfectly..!

Top report, as ever, Dave. I said for a while - this is the best LFC side of all time. I am amazed At what they do every time I watch them. Would love to retain Champions League as well this season - and who would bet against us? Glory days....

Brilliant performance, brilliant report...

Great report Dave - really enjoyed reading it...

Epic report Dave. I’ll say it again - best Reds team I’ve seen - and I had the privilege of seeing them all since we won promotion all those years ago...

Another top report Dave....

We know Tyler is a twat, but I wasn’t too impressed with Carragher’s commentary either to be honest..

Best Reds team I’ve ever seen - and I’ve been privileged to see them all since 1961. Just brilliant...

Love the report, as usual, Dave. Thanks for all your efforts during the season. Looking forward to the fanzine and some more trophies in the bag next season...

Yes - love that report mate......

Sensational game, sensational report. Brilliant again Dave.

Brilliant!
