Off recent topics, but how on earth has Gerrard, who spent years under the ever-optimistic Klopp, somehow morphed into a Mourinho type of managerial personality? Lol. Every other interview I see from him he's a moaning fart who throws players under the bus.
 
The Ev down 2-6. Howling here. They’re the best team in L’pool yanno!

Red Ron be dancing round his proper Christmas tree this year.

P I’m not in work tomorrow for the ‘Silva out!’ rants.

Could this weekend get ANY better? We want 10!

*Edit* Oh yeah, what r mate the big Pole said. Que?

Perfect end to a boss weekend.

Merry Christmas Reds! And Blues haha.
 
Take it you guys haven't seen any of Gerrard's post match interviews? He carries the miserable persona; has more than once chatted in a negative, Jose-esque manner. Slamming the players, etc.
 
The ‘que?’ was to the line on his ‘years under Klopp’ mate. Your time lines well off.

Never crossed over to play under him. Had a year and a half or so doing the early kids then the 18’s at the Academy. But Kirkby’s complately seperate to the first team until the works complete so his contact with Jurgen would have been minimal.

Wouldn’t know about his time at Rangers bud sorry save for they all idolise him up there. He did stand uo for Rossiter one of the Europa pressers to defelect a ridiculous question to his player FWIW. But above and beyond that I’ve seen nottin so can’t comment. Shrugs.

I thought Scouse was very harsh on Pickford, but after the last few weeks, he was right. WTF?! Howlers and the challenge on Dele seals the deal. He should of been off.

So, if you’ll indulge me on the length ....


I was out for a Chrimbo bevvy yesterday. 7 of us. 5 reds. 2 blues. Been bezzies and knocked around together since school. Anyway, the drinks are flowing and we’re chatting wham when one of the blues, mooching round twitter, said one of the most Evertonian things ever ..... he’s looking at a photie of Solksjaer celebrating with the players after beating Cardiff and he says ‘Yanno, he’s just like Klopp. All passion, hugs, feel good factor and nottin to show for it.’


Now rather than skit the living P out of him (he had enough of that last night), it does bring up this mad scenario where not only opposition fans but many, admitedly not match going, L’pool fans still undervalue both the the current, record setting side and just what an outstanding manager/ coach the mad German btard is.


I like to think of myself as a rational, honest poster. Yeah, I have mad passion for this club and can cheerlead with the best of them. That’s part of your DNA being from this great City. But I also don’t say things lightly for the sake of it and stand by what I honestly believe. Both good and bad. If L’pool are garbage, or the club needs justifiably criticising, I won’t hold back from that. I’ve been going the match for nearly 4 decades now. First game was in 1980. First got the season ticket I still hold in 1987. I’ve been exceptionaly fortunate to see 6 league titles picked up in the flesh and see L’pool in 5 European Cup finals live. Along with 2 UEFA and Super Cups, 20 some vists to Wembley and Cardiff seeing the Reds pick up countless Cups. Lost count of the number of grounds across Britain and the Continent I’ve seen L’pool play. The greatest of times along with the darkest my teenage years when there but for the grace of God I nearly lost my life on a day none of us there will ever truly get over.


I guess I’m basically saying, through all that time and experience, like most Scousers, I know football and I’m usually pretty fair in my assessment of it.


So trust me that I don’t say this lightly ..... This current L’pool side is arguably the most complete L’pool team I’ve ever had the privilage of watching.


And yes, I’m fully aware of the need for them to add silverware to completely quantify that assessment. But the facts alone speak for themselves. We beat Newcastle Boxing day, that’s not only a half season unbeaten. That’s 16 wins and 3 draws unbeaten. We’ve NEVER seen anything like this. For conparison, City’s record breakers last year, well arguably the finest side this Country’s ever seen, had a mere 1 more win at half-way. My favourite all time L’pool side, Kenny’s great ‘87/‘88 vintage, who at that time had a record equalling 29 game unbeaten run from the start of the season, had three points LESS at half-way.


What we’re witnessing is aomething we never have before. What these lads are doing is absolutely ridiculous. And has them down, from all facets, as one of our greatest ever sides to me which will become arguably the best in our storried history if they bring it home come May.


i just don’t see a weakness. Either in our play or personnel.


The manager, every bit as tactically brilliant as Rafa, who is rightly a L’pool legend, wver was; has this team that savvy that they can match and work out anything thats thrown at them. Invarably winning the game.


And the squad strength is just ridiculous ......


Anchored ar the back by one if the top 2/3 goalies in the World. A defence that’s the best by far in the PL. With the best CH the World over managing it without breaking sweat. No club out there is as solid/ dynamic with the depth to change as L’pool currently are defensively. By far and away the best defensive unit I’ve ever seen at Anfield. We go 1 up at Wolves and we could all have gone home as you just know we aren’t conceding.


The midfield as a collective is as good as anything out there. 6/ 7 real good players that are interchangable as to the situation without a dropoff. And yes, to all you barmpots with a Henderson/ Lallana agenda, that incldes them too. We don’t have a top midfield 3 as many would like. We have what you need today. 6/7 top lads all on a similar level that will do the exact job the manager reqires of them to make the TEAM work amd be so devastating. ****, when Nabby Keita has been your worst midfielder on the season to date, you know just what a top group you have.


All topped off with the beat front three in Europe and the little Egyptian wizard playing as well currently as any L’pool forward the last 30 years. The level his overall game has leaped up to this year from last is frightening. And people actualy wanted him dropped early .....


In my opinion, these Red record breakers are the moat solid, comtrolling, conplete team of ours I’ve ever seen. Lead by one of the most tactically astute, brilliant managers we’ve ever had leading us. And man have we had some all time top World teams/ managers.


The record setting pace they’re on and the absolutely ridiculous results they’re putting out just reinforce that belief.


And if they hit pay dirt come May, I personally think they’ll be up there as good as anything we’ve ever had. If not clear in their own right.


Totally asinine to look enviously at City when we have a L’pool side for the ages of our own who are collectively every bit City’s equal.


What a time to be alive. What a time to be a Red!


Is it 3 PM Boxing Day already?


Merry Christmas one and all.
