The Liverpool fans are split between the fickle and steadfast as Sadio Mane wasn't the exit that's hurt them. Here's the Mailbox.
He bought success we’d begun to believe was no longer possible but just as with Borussia Dortmund he plays a style that is physically taxing but refuses to rotate.
Our net spend isn’t bad but it’s nowhere near as magical as the mythology has it. FSG have, in fact, invested in us. Allison? Virgil? Nunez? None of them were exactly free. Look, clearly the midfield needs new legs. Jude is wonderful and would be a huge asset for us – but he’s on more radars than ours. If City or Madrid come in for him, I don’t fancy our chances. However there is quality and value out there and the club management are not unaware of the issues. You see them, I see them, *they* see them, ok?
I’m enjoying the inconsistent gubbles as much as the next fan, ie: not at all. But I’ve absolutely loved so much of what we’ve done, over so long a period a time. There’s credit in the bank there for me and a lot of it. Pep isn’t staying forever either. So let’s all us get some much needed perspective and calm the hell down.I find it hilariously amusing how fickle Liverpool fans are.
Well, their sporting director Michael Edwards left this summer. He built the club’s data analysis team, widely regarded as the best in football. It was his team that identified and recommended the purchases of Salah, Van Dijk, Alisson, Firmino and others – not to mention the hiring of Klopp himself – as well as developing countless insights into tactics and performance.
