Yeah that one was a stinker. Write it off and thank god Burnley done us a favour yesterday. Credit to West Ham they will be a tough place to go for many.

Arsenal and Preston will have sore heads this morning from West Ham winning the set-piece battle so there is that.
 
So it's finally 'official,' The single most important person at Liverpool Football Club (and you all know just how highly I regard Jürgen), is entering his last 7 months at Anfield.

And what an absolutely fantastic open letter this is that's a mark of the man and top culture at the club he represents-

Liverpool FC — Michael Edwards' open letter to Liverpool supporters

Michael Edwards has written an open letter to Liverpool supporters following the news he will step down as sporting director at the end of this season.
www.liverpoolfc.com www.liverpoolfc.com

It's been a heck of a ride and we owe this man a tremendous debt.

From the World envied, performance based, analytical recruitment system he's put in place, through being instrumental in designing the Axa training complex at Kirkby, bringing all levels of the club together under one World class facility, and all points in between, he has more than played his part in completely revolutionising Liverpool Football Club into one of the Worlds leaders. On and off the pitch.

But the great thing, as sad as having this announcement out in the open now is; is the system he's put in place doesn't rely on one man. It is the archetypal 'sum of its parts.' For all Michadl's brilliance, he's only as good as the top notch team under him compromising ex-Nasa scientists and other such luminary's. With his succession being set out for a good whiles now with his assistant Julian Ward.

This is the KEY position under the American sports model. The GM. Which, even if not titled that, Edwards effectively is. For he's the one man who oversee's pretty much everything on the sporting side. Coaches and players are expendable and the GM picks and brings in the right ones to fit the clubs philosophy. And in Ward, who's steadily worked his way up through the Anfield ranks, we seemingly have the perfect, in-house replacement, in the style of the arl Boot Room, who is fully onboard with our DNA and how we operate.

So as we enter the final stretch of an outstanding Edwards era, here's to the next 5 years and longer of the Julian Ward one. And who knows? With fresh ideas and subtle tweaks to our system to keep us ahead of the curve, he may even top his successor when it's all said and done.

I'll be saying this again before you finally leave Michael, but thank you, sincerely, for all you've done for L'pool FC. Without you and the outstanding acquisitions you and your team have identified and brought in, Jürgen wouldn't have had the outstanding success he's had. It's been the prefect marriage on and off the pitch and the debt we owe you for your part in returning our club to the very top of the football tree is immeasurable.

Interesting Si thinks what would be a maximum 2 league games (And at that Brentford home and Palace away) presents significant selection problems during the AFCON. 🤷‍♂️

Even more interesting, presuming we both progress, if we pull Chelsea in the LC semi January with them more than likely having to deal with the WCC which has been put back to the start of the year. How does Tommy Tucker play that?
 
BANG out of order from Sky. And the less said about the kid's father and his parental judgement the better.

There's a reason nothing under 18's level is really reported on and can't be shown on the screen.

You'd presume L'pool have no say as he can't even be signed to us until U9's level. So he's not 'formally' on the books yet. But I doubt they are impressed with this ridiculous exposure for a 7-year-old child.

LFC's biggest ever community Christmas support - Liverpool FC

Liverpool FC will be providing record-breaking support to local families this Christmas through the return of its ‘LFC Operation Christmas Magic’ campaign.
www.liverpoolfc.com www.liverpoolfc.com

Superb from the club once more. Strengthening the outstanding work both L'pool and Everton do in the local community and the bonds therein.

By the same token, it's to the Country's detriment that child/ food poverty is still an issue in 2021. Let alone to the abhorrent levels they both are. NO child should go hungry. EVER! Beyond a disgrace that football clubs and other superb organisations continue to do this P poor excuse for a Governments work for them.

Grim day to wake up buzzing for Arsenals annual walloping at r’s.

Wouldn’t be surprised at all to see them licked 4/5 this tea-time in front of a suitably bevvied and rocking Anfield.

Now all the International guff is put to bed for the year, time to start going up through the gears and see who’s left with us going into 2022?

UTR! FTT!
