so the lads and JK were away in Marbella.
... pre wham at Anfield
... its that time,,,when due to an absence of first team games fans & "pundits" get into BS mode... difficult to find anoything other than nostalgia ...
TEAMTALK
.....
This....
is what I would like to hear pre wham at Anfield... " ok lads we had a good break and training session in Marbella, but its back to biz saturday... wham at home.... and lets NOT foget why we were able to have a few "away days" ...because we got beaten badly by WBA on our own patch in the FA Cup, especially painful for our loyal support after knocking out the blues previously... if you didnt feel it before , you owe them, BIG time, to see out this season in our best form,,, you been rested and rotated ...you are all YOUNG athletes with the best training and backroom facilities possible... but... now show the same application as In Porto...
Apart from a couple of half chances either side of our first 2 goals in the first half at Porto , you were on top and I cant fault any one of you, it was a fantastic , and we know , a"record -breaking" game .. for all of you , individually and more importantly as a LIVERPOOL team, to show we are there in champions league on merit, and NO team will want to play us in europe... and the same should apply at Anfield or anywhere in the english league,
WBA was our last game here... let us learn from mistakes, for the last time, win well, and destroy bad memories with 100 per cent effort and team play from the first seconds to the last ... remember .... WE are LIVERPOOL... make our supporters proud and make them dream again... "

Kev Evans> Brilliant improvements to Anfield!
New training facilities on way!
Best Manager!
Best squad for years!
I think they are doing ok!
Out of serious dept!
People should be careful what they wish for, The next ones could be a lot worse!
Chris> thats a great way to look at it... BUT my reply , point by point ; a) more expensive seats for for the rich, corporate or middle class b) not yet he isnt , cant be best before he wins a major trophy (i like JK, but bundesliga isnt major!) c) samme as a) until they win something its all :potential" great to watch... but... qualification shd never be :good enough" for lfc ..... d) "ok" yes Lfc is "OK" ..but no Liverpool SUPPORTER shd be happy with being "also rans"... .e) ..dont care about debt, would rather be in debt and winning trphies than be one of the richest in the world with just one 2nd class trphy in 11 seasons! ... f) be careful when you allow your expectations to be maged by BS! Kev!
11 years ago...
a classic event at a time when Lfc & Rafas REds were top of UEFA rankings... now the fans are conditioned to be happy to qualify for europe... I was there , great european away days .. before , during and after the game,,, really shut up the arrogance of the locals . and our supporters were great, despite some police provocation.. one of many great memories of that period when we had reasons to be proud ...! thanks Rafa and the team! https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/day-liverpool-stormed-nou-camp-14315945
27 years ...Kenny and...
,,.the 2 faces... both deep in my memory...Difficult to know what to add, because i didnt react at the time, it took too much time for it to sink in, I recall being shocked when Shanks left.. by now I was older and had more life experience... then after some time , i started thinking about what he had handled...and wondering who could carry on, I didnt realise until much later that Lfc would never recover, and the spiritual flame of the club had dimmed that day, and apart from flickers in the years since, has never burned as bright as those years from 64...to ' 89...IMO in the eighties so much of the "beautiful game" died... and money took over, but Kenny will always be in my heart for what he did for Liverpool people and what was OUR once proud club! thank you Kenny!! be happy!

Liverpool 3 Newcastle 0
I still have my match programme and the ONE pound match ticket stub,
It will stay firmly fixed in my heart and mind for so many reasons,
It was my first ever final, first & last with my brother.
The singing of YNWA before , after and during.. Alecs "goal"
(it took a while before my brother could catch me and shout in my ear "disallowed"..
25,000+ true Red supporters transferred from the old Kop to wembley, and I was in the middle of it all..
and the old wembley , its concrete terraces shaking to our sound...
Shanks ... his farewell was to give us a team , and a way of playing ..
was the basis of the dynasty for decades to come, ...a mix of Brit & "continental"
Route one, or pass & move, this game had it all..
Never even bothered with "supermac" his one effort alloed by Em & Phil was a balloon high into the crowd, classy Cormack, Cally Smithy & RB.. laying on the pass at the end of an arrogant move for Kevins 2nd... and Shanks and his gestures, as if a pupeteer....please dont tell me anyone has come close to what he gave us... a socialist band of brothers (& some sisters) ;
We were truly a Red army and in sinc with the players... a magical connection that may never
come again because now they are celebreties beyond the loyalty that we felt..
thanks Shanks

Being deeply involved in the resistance movement , pre G & H and during their removal , had campaigned, and still do ,against the odds, for a supporters owned club, as henry-werner and their billionaire backers are just as evil although smarter form of sharks as G & H! …the foolish way so many took in NESV despite warning of the policies of USAcorp, for me administration and fund s from 08 and celebrity fans and the local cultural benefit has been over-shadowed by mis-guded opinions & media claiming Lfc was “saved” Shanks TRUE spirit has been eroded by almost everything the current boardroom does… now as Lfc challenge for european glory, 4th is an “accepted target” by the same fans who wanted Rafa out…
Lfc as I knew it from a kid on the Kop, surfed across it, losing shoes and sometimes with wet socks… pressed together in a socialist army of Red,,, away days and european trips with my brothers & sisters … campaigning for J4t96 against the enemy in London… all this now lost in a commercially sterilized Anfield and the only remnant i see (or hear) is in the away support, still inventive, but no longer working class , none of my mates could afford todays ticket prices…
When I think back I do NOT regret that I was alienated by Lfc for my internet actions at the time, and since , I could have bought 2 houses with the money I spent on supporting Liverpool, wherever I have lived, abroad , I have waived the LIVERPOOL banner, Tuesdays result in Porto taken into account, I am no longer as proud as I once was… I was reminded about an article I wrote this time 4 years ago , when a title challenge was in our sights… 10 years and one 2nd class trophy should bring the fickle fans down to earth…
… sadly these days the sheeple are impressed more by image, as talk of JK being “best in the world” before he has won a major trophy for Lfc is ridiculous… (no I dont count the bundesliga) …
Telling the truth is unpopular, and Shanks lives forever, but not in Lfc today, in my heart..because he made the club… and the “holy trinity” tarnished by low morals , on and off the field, where “cheating” is admired by ex players and fans…but who cares>?
… the inFest ors are acclaimed because Lfc is rich! …

I would rather be top of the footballing league! quarter of a million annual income from commercial/tv !! ? that seems impressive..and certainly looks good to an accountant, or an investor, but please , how can a REd supporters, with one 2nd class trophy in the time of US A "ownership" be happy? sure JK is a positive influence.. but , if we had held on to Rafa & world class players, and perhaps acquired one or two more , IMO, we would have won the league and been european champs in this time ! fans have bought into the Lfc propaganda whilst our core "socialist" supporters are priced out.... Ltc board is well into May/Bush/Trump policies...
___________________
yeah sure… manage expectations… however, one 2nd class trophy since the USA corp infested Lfc… 10 seasons and always “its gonna be NEXT season” … meanwhile the “management” changed staff coaching & playing staff FIVE times in that period ,,, in the same period Lfc have spent almost as much as man utd, with ONE trophy …. whilst the bitter rivals rub fans nose in it constantly that they won 16! … net spend ; is another story.. around half a billion pounds income from player sales… ” you can fool some of the people ..all of the time…but…”

Fair comment ; Robbo looks sound, all round game, especially what you need from a Lb;
his defensive game is so much better than More NO! keep it up..please!

Torres was bound to leave after they forced out Rafa, Lfc boardroom was a mes and back-stabbing.. ( now replaced by USA corp sharks) woy played ale-house footy... and Nando had said before he left Atleti, that he wanted trophies and didnt want to be sole match -winner again , which is what ("ale house footy") hodgson expected ... https://www.theanfieldwrap.com/2018/01/philippe-coutinhos-departure-and-how-liverpool-have-fared-in-the-past-after-big-sales/
