Being someone who loves all things Japan, he is such a good player (and criminally underrated on FM!). He has played this like almost every game I have seen him. Cracking player imo

And only cost <£2 million. Brighton are such a well run club. I thought losing Potter, their entire staff and parts of their recruitment team was going to rattled them but they pretty much picked off where Potter left off…almost like Potter was a beneficiary of how well run they were
 
Crisis? Now THAT was a ******* crisis!!!!!

Only one way out of this rut and thats doing it TOGETHER with them! Anfield needs to be a wild atmosphere Sat’day dinner. As does the away following tomorrow.

We have a Cup to defend!
 
Very sad our season is getting worse and worse. I don't usually watch the full match only highlights, happen to watch the opening day against Fulham, i was shocked when we showed a lack of fight. Only thing now is to finish respectably, aim as high as possible for the season.
 
What an absolutely superb night out with Jurgens Reds once again. From the absolute surreally experience of walking round Wolverhampton, which is proper grim to start with, in the pitch black due to a power cut that had pre-game bevvies in doubt down to no tills working. To dancing with a female bizzie the gangway when H scores that beauty haha. To coming home through a snow storm and now penning this goosed before work. All proper memorable things you only get to laugh and look back on if you actually support your team and all the sacrifices you make there in. All wrapped ip on a proper PRIDE night. Together as one again with our shared passion on a baltic cold night.

How do you react when your teams struggling and EVERYONE is against you? When even your own ‘fans’ (interesting definition of the word) on-line/ across SM, are writing off a season and your team as loud as any mocking opposition fan or mediot? You do what we’ve always done in this City. When your team needs now more than at most any other time under Klopp. Sing your F hearts out and give them that unconditional belief and backing that makes us what we are. With the unique bond we have with our team. Togetherness and fighting for your own. It’s what this City’s all about. It’s what supporting this football club is ALL about.

And boy did they respond in another proper pride night in the defence of our cup. Superb display from back to front. The ageless Milner setting the standard rattling into tattles. Not sure how he stayed on the pitch but that professionalism from a wiley arl pro money just can not buy. Proper leadership display. The two CH’s were solid as. Bajetic and Naby Lad absolutely running the game from midfield. Freeing up Thiago to do his thing. The young bucks up top showing just why they will be a massive part of Jurgens next evolution. That goal from Harvey man …… We was bang in line when he hit it and he saw the goalie off his line and what he was going to do as soon as he picked it up. Which just set an already lit away end off!

I mention being in line with that as the only bad part of last night was Tsimikas boneheadedness that could have cost us. The scream of pain was auditable when he got done from behind. But to then play on the last half hour when he could barely move ….. Klopp was going nuts with him when he went down again after we’d made all the subs. I love a warrior mentality but use your bleeping head for the team aye mate?

The less said about the Wolves support the better. Although 26 mins before the first Hillsborough abuse was quite restrained for those bleeps.

Superb PRIDE night at the match which hopefully will be the spark we need to kick on with still ALL to play for with over half a season to go.

Roll on Brighton and a ridiculously early start the end of the month as our Cup defence continues.

But first, time to play our part in this again Sat’day dinner by turning Anfield into a cauldron to help our boys as they set forth ending the league rot against Chelsea.

Up for the Cup Reds! FTT!!!!!
 
I’m getting too old for freezing my bollocks off being bored shitless for 90 mins. 😡

That was by no means Brighton bad yesterday. Jurgens absolutely bang on with his ’positive little steps forward’ assertion.’ The past 2 games have been night and day from that humongous shitshow Sadly, reading comments across SM this AM, CONTEXT is a word few want to use anymore.

But that still doesn’t absolve them from another horrid game of football yesterday. No movement or real urgency before Darwin came on. Sloppy passing. Just all round slow, sloppy play. Which transcended off the park in just how quiet we were. The baltic cold (so much for things warming up. It was more freezing than Wolves yesterday with the biting wind which was impressive), and little on the pitch to inspire you didn’t help. But we have to hold our hands up. This is a two-way street. And, unlike Tuesday night, we didn’t play our part and let the players down every bit as much as they let us down.

On the subject of the support to round off the many negatives yesterday-

The irony of the club now ‘officially’ making the rightful point over homophobic chanting at Chelsea (which, for the record, there hasn’t been bar the odd bleep ever since Jurgen and that community spoke out about how insulting and hurtful it is to them), whilst Chelsea fans continue to belt out songs about disasters, death and calling me and everyone else in the ground a murderer for most of the game, isn’t lost on anyone. And I’m by no means using one to justify the other here. They both need stamping out. But how the FA can only threaten clubs with sanctions over one and not the other is beyond jaw dropping. As a survivor, I can’t begin to tell you how psychologically damaging it can be to have to listen to that. It never leaves you anyway as hard as you try. But having to put up with that abuse on what is becoming an every match basis now doesn’t help anyone at all. It’s LONG before time that the authorities started banning the perps to stop this disgrace continuing.

And the other supporter issue of note brought home again the inherent difference between actually supporting your side at the match. And just spouting hot air the loudest on-line ….. There was a voice behind us somewhere round 106, Southerner for what its worth, who tried to get an ’FSG OUT!’ shout going ….. to only be told in NO uncertain terms to shut the **** up and get behind the side! Or there’d be, shall we say, ‘words’ with him outside for his wool behaviour that wasn’t representative of our standards at the game at all. And I’ll leave that at that.

As to those ‘lil positives on the park-

Much, much better defending the past two games giving us only our second run of back-to-back clean sheets this season. JMG and Konate have to stay as the CB pairing and continue building on this new found solidity which has been sorely lacking all year. Still by no means water tight defensively. But markedly improved over the past 5 days and a real foundation stone to build from.

The midfield 3 has to be set now with Bajetic, Naby Lad and Thiago. More invaluable experience for Stefan in another very good outing. And as much as you hoped fresh legs late would see us nick the win, Fabinho and Henderson were static and tattle less the last 10. Something Keita and Thiago most certainly weren’t.

So we’re finding the building blocks of a solid spine again the past 2 weeks from the CH’s on through the middle. Little steps forward.

And the other big plus to that end was the return of Darwin causing havoc up front. It really can’t be understated how having 4 of your top 5 attackers out has hit us. As it would decimate and derail ANY clubs season. So with the positive signs of tightening up again defensively, allied to Darwin being back. And Bobby and Jota not too far off. There really is some positive building blocks, in CONTEXT, to take forward in to the second half of the season.

Little steps forward among a season long sea of mediocrity.

The healing had to start somewhere. The past 5 days may just be that platform to better things through ‘till June. Onto Brighton and the next stop in the defence of our Cup to continue to that end.

Just be thankful you weren’t born a blue! 🤣🤣🤣

Up the ‘Pool. Mighty Reds. FTT!!!!!
