    Yep, but regardless, the point is Benitez was hailed as a genius and the second coming by the Toon faithful, and the much maligned wonky nosed Bruce did at least as good. 

    Yeah agreed.

    The much maligned Steve 'Stevie' big nose Bruce did better!

    Besides Rafa getting them promoted to the top tier I think the difference is negligible. That said Bruce came in to a much tougher gig considering his own Manc & Mackem history and having to follow Rafa .

    Some nasty rumours being spread on #twatter about Sigurdsson..........still, he is innocent until proven Gylfi! ????......sorry!

    If these rumours turn out to be false, that is some next level horrendous mongering

    Comes down to results. If he starts winning games he will bring the fanbase around. 

    He did well at Newcastle with no investment. He knows how to work with what he has. He knows how to get a team organised and tight. He has some decent fire power at The Ev, Brazil's striker up front.

    So Rafa takes over the Trickies. Next season could be interesting. They have an easy start but that could be a double-edged sword. If things don't go well early doors, their 'fans' will soon turn on him!

    I'm not offended by this appointment, and I think he will do well for them.

    So why can't I say he turned into a junkie/alkie after being a good footballer.

    Ned Kelly was very good to and loved his mother. That doesn't mean he was a hero. Always two sides to everything.

    I as often as I can watch UK football on tv but I don't hero worship. It's just entertainment.

    Ned Kelly was and still is a hero to many..????????‍♂️.

    I don’t think heroin or cocaine improved anyone’s performance, quite the opposite. 

     

     

    I'm sure any heroin or cocaine user would argue that point....????

    cheating  IS a  moral relatively

    In the 70/80's I saw PLENTY. Of players fired up by..  amphetamine?   seemed to be pretty acceptable att.. lynford Christie... Gained ?? X amount of seconds on his best. Almost  Overnight.. in the 80's /90's the Brazilian ronaldo bulked up so much that he was musculariy  unrecognisable..

    Wenger introduced sugar soaked in liquid caffeine as half time topups

    And today in the prem t I see trainers give  players pills and sniffy things  during the game in years I'm sure that'll be banned 

      . My point is it's easy to make moral judgements in retrospect.. not so clear or easy at the time. Irrespective of his issues  .. he was one of THE all times great.. and should be remembered  as such..NOT for his problems..

    Can we throw in Alan Wells for the Scottish lads ????

    Wow there boy, I was actually supporting you against 3minus2s usual biased unsupported rants. 

     

    Why does everyone think I'm angry ????. I was just stating why I didn't reference The Athletic originally and now I'm off for a spliff. ????????‍♂️

    That article takes its lead from an article in Feb 2020 by The Athletic

     

     

     

    Correct, but not everyone has access to The Athletic, hence my posting of an accessible article with Opta stats for reference.

    I made it QUITE clear that it was an observation..and yet  AGAIN your just reinforcing the absolute RIDICULOUS preciousness you and other Liverpool fans place on the team... As I pointed out to w... GET A GRIP..

    3 minus 2, you made a statement that was incorrect. I don't know why you keep saying we need to "get a grip" or that we are blindly defending our team in the face of your incorrect observation. 

     

    Opta stats show that the top 2 teams for tactical fouling are City and Arsenal, interestingly Arteta being the prodigy of Pep. Liverpool are way down the list, with less than half that of City. 

     

    Here is an article which references FACTS.

    Yeah. Have to admit it's a bit embarrassing... But your mob are full on with the   the niggly little shirt pulls and sly 'touch fouls'.. on and off the ball... THAT'S gettin a bit  beyond a joke. Kloppy and pep have coached that into their 'team play' and honestly they're NEVER pulled up on it.. they should be..

    That's City you are talking about...
