Oh, I forgot to add how super proud I was of both teams and sets of supporters today that we continued to take the knee and send a sadly STILL much needed message. 😍😍

Reading the amount of L'pool fans on-line who somehow continue to completely miss the point about the reasons behind the players simple symbol of solidarity for anyone oppressed or abused in any way, shape or form (or in many cases, just wilfully ignore it to push their own F up agenda), hammered home the need for the players to continue to use their unique platform for good.

You can't applaud them enough for their continued stance. 👏🏻👏🏻

The last few words there mate are exactly why it is still so important for them to do it.

It also points to a need to not over do it. Limiting the amount of times they take the knee will have a much bigger impact than doing it every game. Fans get bored of having to put up with the gesture every game so are growing less interested, when fans get bored you get the reactions which have become all to common over the last few months.

Completely and utterly disagree mate.

A small, symbolic gesture over a matter of seconds impacts nothing on games/ the fan experience, and, in the main outside of certain fanbases, it's continually well received by the match-going support.

The typically lame reactions this week on SM highlight exactly why it's so important to continue with IMHO. Ignorance is one thing.
Continued wilful ignorance is a whole other. Many have patently learned nothing over the last few seasons.

The more the players use the unique platform they have been afforded, the more future generations will be influenced to not go down the same intolerance path of those that have been so against this simple, symbolic gesture right through to their own continued, seriously F up ends.

I feared a worse tear and him being out longer Sat'day so that's a bonus. I wondered whether they'd bring a midfield move forward a summer but probably not now.

Still not good but that's football. Next man up and Harvey looks primed to step up just like the start of last season.

Speaking of Harvey nice to see the club show faith in him as a first teamer and extend his 5 year contract.
 
I hope Joe gets to partner Virgil at the centre again and show everybody how good he actually is. Matip being injured can be a blessing in disguise for us.

I know Darwin needs to play against Utd a week tomorrow mate.

They’ll be petrified of him!
 
Not many more exciting mornings to wake up to than waking on the dawn of a new season of Anfield football.

And that doesn’t get much better when the sacrificial ‘victims’ are Southerners. Pray for poor Palace tonight. Not only are they our home opener, under the lights, at what should be a rocking Anfield. But they are facing an angry gang of Reds who’ve had 9 days to stew and prepare after the shitshow at Fulham.

Roll on 5 PM to end the work day and get suitably bevvied to bounce into the ground.

Fancying we’ll lick these 4 or 5.

Up the Reds. FTT!!!!!
