    Just give over and accept that you are a hack. Don't try and belittle the manager that brought us back to the top table and maybe, just maybe - you'll be ok.
    No mention of the 4-1 reverse to Napoli Elliott started? You know the loss that that meant we ended up playing Real?

    No of course not selective as ever

    It was a game we lost, like every game we have away in Naples - As we did in Paris and in Belgrade.. in the seasons you cite as when we were at our invincible best..

    Napoli 1 Liverpool 0

    Oh and before you get onto one. Hendo came on for the injured Keita on 19 minutes..
    They had 14 shots with 5 on target - we had 4 shots and not a single one on target.
    Described as one of the most one sided European games in our history with a scoreline that was a freak - totally flattering us.. Short memory

    I blame Elliott



    Watch and weep 19.. watch and weep.

    A closer game but a game we lost by 2 goals to nil.

    One thing we've missed this season is the intensity of Mane's pressing, who was better at it still even after losing a little pace and strength than any of the current lot

    Well at least this we can agree on. I doubt anyone on this entire forum would.

    Ah cmon you are rewriting history. You were one of his harshest critics in our failed title defence,

    He certainly does, he's kind of the ideal Bobby replacement, quite sure we could use him as a second striker deeper when trying to play Nunez as a No9 but a lot of work to do with Nunez being stronger in front of CBs and getting hold of the ball and keeping it to bring other into play before that happens, could see Gakpo creating for Nunez, scoring himself and releasing our left and right forwards to score or assist aswell, he's a very talented lad

    Granted he's improved a lot but let's not hide the fact he needs to be much much better next season. I like a lot about him but I wouldn't say I'm massively confident he becomes a top class player. His finishing is woeful.
