    Dalglish for me, but Souness was manager during my formative years.
    Ahh that might explain why you don’t get my being so upset at the needless changes

    Shanks in promotion year with Leyton Orient. I was about 10.
    The best friendships are built on a solid foundation of alcohol, cake, sarcasm and a dislike of the same people.

    Suppose it would have been late Souness/early Dalglish, though I don't think being fascinated by our Badge and kit as a very young child "counts" so I guess we'll say Evans

    I’ll admit I was acting in part to gauge why ppl had the attitudes to certain things they did, for instance I’m aware a lot of the Souness Evans Houllier guys won’t likely know how Souness changing what he did caused us to fall from grace for over 2 decades and why seeing Slot repeating that combined with selling our best player to a rival as Souness did would freak me the fuck out as much as it has

    A lot of people don’t seem to have the understanding of automation, positioning and movement off each other, muscle memory of a team built up over years over 3 or 4 different teams as we saw from Bob to Kenny and how disastrous messing with the blueprint can be as we saw with Souness and Evans compounding that

    You can’t just take serial winners from a 433 with all that good stuff built up over 10 years and each position improved on until last year all knowing exactly what each other would do in any given situation or position and thrn put those players in a different formation and style and think it will work - This is why CCTV and his obsession with stats make him a football illiterate , he just doesn’t understand it most don’t, they think you can’t take these players and put them in any formation and it’s fine

    Real too top level football, serial winning football just doesn’t understand not and will not ever work like that

    No offence how you post and what you post

    The other 2 seem older lifelong reds and Justme Kenny era but Shanks doesn’t seem to fit with you 😂
    Not sure how to take that?
    But was 12 when shankly left,i thought it was the end of liverpool at the time.
    if we are using managers to judge ages jockstrap must have been early klopp era.
