Diogo Jota hasn't retired. He hasn't been sold. He's a Liverpool player for eternity. Etched into our history. Forever red.

- In a way, Liverpool is rewarding and maximising the last few years of Alisson, Salah, and Van Dijk. These guys changed the game for Liverpool.
- Van Dijk. It's like walking through a forest of saplings and coming across the mighty oak. Best centre back I've ever seen. Deep block, high line, aerial game, passing long and short, leadership etc. A collosal Liverpool legend. Cherish his last few years.
- Joe Gomez. 10 years at the club. Never bitched or moaned about his place on the ladder. Great professional. Every unit needs utility players like Joe.
- See how good Van Dijk/Konate were in a deep block. They wouldn't concede in Arsenal's system. Unbelievable display.
- Liverpool need to be very careful. History is a good teacher. Dortmund CEO, Watzke, on when Klopp left Dortmund: "Maybe it would've been better if we'd changed the team and not the coach. It was obvious we'd never have such a coach again, but you can get such players again."
- Liverpool Twitter. The most schizo and reactionary fanbase on the globe. 15/18. A lot of new players being integrated. Isak/Macca with little pre season. Have a beer and watch the golf.
- Liverpool are going to run Fabinho into the ground. He'll be done by 32 at this rate. Has to cover at least 2 positions in that midfield. Can only put out so many fires. The lack of pace is an issue, too. Needed an overhaul. Starting in June 2022.
- Be amazed if Nunez is at the club in 12 months
- Slot bought two runners at full back. Give them the road. A coach has to adapt his system to the players at his disposal. Bit of a similar role to what Wirtz had at Bayer Caption courtesy of Dan Kennett
- The Anfield crowd man of the match. Got right behind the team and manager. Real fans don't demonise a coach who won us No.20. You give him every opportunity to come through the fog. Big respect to the Anfield public tonight.
- Liverpool are a poorly coached team. Two words. A mess.
- Liverpool went into the midfield market with a begging bowl. Signed an injury prone midfielder. He's now out for 3-4 months. Couldn't make it up.
- Liverpool will attain a manager who will win more than Jurgen. It may be someone 10-20 years down the line, but we'll never have a fella like this again. The communal spirit he fostered. The emotion & connection. An inspirational figure who took Liverpool out of the doldrums.
