- Obviously Liverpool fans boo the anthem, and for good reason. It's a democratic right to protest, and I believe we should all be protesting at this obscene peacock display of wealth when more than 20% of the nation are living below the poverty line, and kids are going hungry. 1/3
- For those who ever doubted Jordan Henderson: He could barely walk at half time v Barca, went into the dressing room and said this to the doc: "Just give me everything. A jab, tablets. Both. Everything." That is leadership #LFC
- Serious question: how the fuck can you be 19 points clear of a side as all time great as Manchester City? Asking for a Spanish friend. #LFC
- When Jurgen Klopp took over #LFC, the squad he inherited was valued by Forbes magazine at £360m. In 2019, they valued his squad at £1.83bn - a mind-blowing rise of 500% No wonder Carragher says Klopp "isn't buying superstars, he's creating superstars."
- Frank Lampard suggest something CLEARLY smells wrong about horrific decision of VAR not to ask the ref to look again at penalty decision. "It's incompetence at best. At worst...who knows?!" Big, big statement from the Everton manager, and confirming worst fears of supps. #EFC
- Thiago will undergo medical today, after #LFC agreed a deal worth around £26m with Bayern. He has accepted terms on a 4 year contract - fee is £20m down, with £5-6m depending on add-ons. Will wear no 6. Player could make his debut....in the EFL Cup at Lincoln next Thursday!!!!
- Been covering #LFC for more years than I care to remember, but seriously can't recall an 18 y o showing the sheer composure in a derby that Stefan Bajcetic did tonight...not even Gerrard. Kid reads the game so well too. Has huge future if he develops as he should under Klopp.
- All those disgusting attacks on Liverpool supporters from rival fans, all those 'private' briefings saying all football was called off because of them, and what happened? Nothing. A period of silence well observed, apart from a couple of voices in a crowd of 54,000. #LFC
- Jurgen Klopp has now beaten a Pep Guardiola team nine times in his career....which is more than any other manager. That’s why he’s renting space in Guardiola’s head... #LFC
- In my (coughs, looks down) 30-odd years as a journo covering football, can honestly say I've never seen a worse red card decision than that travesty for Mac Allister here It's almost shameful from the officials, and starts to call into question neutrality, given the history #LFC
