I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: however many trophies Jürgen Klopp brings to Liverpool, it will pale in comparison to what he’s done for the club and the community ideologically. His era will always be one of transcending sport.

Your project is over half a decade and half a billion £ deep. Slot's been at Liverpool 4 months, spent nothing, and it took him exactly 45 minutes to figure out how to share the points in your back yard.
Liverpool started the season on fire but that first half (before the Gabriel injury) we reduced them to an average team. We’re the hardest team to play against in the league. Not even a quarter of the season has been played yet. We’ll play our best when it matters. Calma.

Liverpool attempted 68 long passes. They’ve only attempted fewer 6 times this season. Arsenal attempted 73 long passes. It was their highest long ball rate of the season by a comfortable margin. Galaxy brain sh*t.
A big reason for the handball slip and the Saka slip and the Tsimikas injury is that Liverpool over watered the pitch so they could stop our passing game and play their long ball.
