  1. Miles. Not even close. The last one was more of a surprise, for example - we were "Spurs" in that scenario. This one was a team that has beaten down the door for a trophy, unluckily lossed all three finals (Pens vs City, no hand balls given vs Sevilla, and injury/Karius gaffes last year). This squad needed it and deserved it to get over the mental hump and these fans needed and deserved it as well.
  2. Not sure that final didn't set English football back to the 80s, but who really cares. Tactically I think Potch got it right with the 5 man midfield, that was always going to disrupt the flow our our midfield 3, but no one really looked arse to do anything but let Mo and Mane run onto long balls after the early pen. We wanted it more. Klopp got everything right with his subs. Would've liked to have seen Ox get on, but I thought Gomez was the right sub and you have to leave the Scouser on the pitch til the end. What a night. Didn't sleep much, just made a great dinner and hung out with the fam with a big smile on my face. Love this club and all of the reds in this thread. We've had a hell of a journey, and loyalty when rewarded is second to nothing. Standing by with bail money if we have to grab our brother out of a Spanish prison. YNWA
  3. I really don't think there is that much to it. If you look at the players that Klopp wants, it's essentially a player with three things: 1) Ball handling skills 2) Pace 3) Heart/Work Ethic The rest can be coached. Another reason why I was shocked we never went for Ben Afra, lol.
  4. Why are we talking letting Harry Wilson go to Wolves? Kids a player and if you want a domestic cup run that's the type of kid you give the arm band to to lead the youngins out there. I trust the process and all and there are certainly worse places he could go to sharpen his skills than Wolves, but if for no other reason than to show the kids that get sent on loan that you will be rewarded if you have a good spell, he needs to stay.
  5. Still not really over that so I'll opine. Sometimes chances go and sometimes they don't. I had an intra game right after 3-0 to Barca and when I got there one of my teammates asked me what happened. I said "I don't know, we dominated them and they just finished - we didn't." The Suarez goal was excellent football. The free kick was obviously world class but out of nothing, the first Messi goal fell right to him. 3-1 was harsh. 2-1 was more like it. 3-0 was beyond flattering to Barca. Second leg we dominated and finished. There's no place like Anfield. There's no place like home. I'm not sure there's a place for De Ligt to be totally honest. Not that he isn't top class, but he doesn't bench Matip in his current form. He doesn't bench Gomez at his top form. He could have Lovren's spot certainly but for that price he better be starting.
  6. Man, I thought Brendan was going to do it. Games like yesterday have me convinced that God hates Liverpool. It's going to feel so good when we win the title, but it's going to be hard as ****. I'm enjoying this journey and I'm proud of this team.
  7. I ****ing love this team. I do. My wife and kids usually leave me alone when watching a game... they saw the score and they all came and sat down next to me, or at least in my game room, and watch for about two minutes before the free kick that Shaq put in. As soon as that happened and big Div knodded that ****er in, I scream and jumped so loud and hard that the house shook. Then they watched the 45 minutes of stoppage time with me and it was great.
  8. I haven't laughed this hard in a loooong time. https://twitter.com/_Chris_Hurst_/status/1114642421701402624 I'll tweet the pic to Carra see if he'll rock it just to spite Martin Tyler. We'll go from there.
  9. Pretty much. It's also become insufferable the commentary against the club. Like does it really mean that much to you to not see us win it? Well have some of that. Nothing left to say but "Mo Salah you little dancer!" (Wife is literally making me this t-shirt as we speak)
  10. At least that would force an identity on us. The Nats are a bit of a rudderless ship at the moment. Used to be strong pitching and defense. Now we look like a Danny Smith special teams unit.
  11. That was the kind of effort you get from Champions. What a game. Always felt like we were scoring a second, even after the Cissoko miss and the almost corner in the 70s... But can I just pick a little more from this bone I've had for years. Spurs haven't scored a legal goal against us in about four years and today was another example. Even that couldn't stop the roll. ****ing made up for this week.
  12. That would get you in the team most of the time. We should all be so lucky.
  13. Wanted to talk about the left back Bryan for Fulham. Two weeks in a row now I've watched the kid and he's put in two really good shifts. Might be worth grabbing him if he's affordable to spot Andy in cup ties unless Klopp's ready to let Camacho roll both spots. Better than Moreno by far and his link up with Babel both weeks was excellent and his defending is obviously pretty good.
  14. Looks like 9 April for the first leg. Honestly was shocked. I screamed in my car while driving to work, lol. Taking nothing for granted, of course. Well it looks like I've scored more goals in Asia than him so let me know when he gets on my level.
