Makes for good reading, like the bit at the end from claridge
It was almost an underachievement not to win the league with a player like Suarez. I've never seen a player like him in the Premier League. Gareth Bale came close, but the impact he had on the season was just scary. Everything he did was just incredible.
"I didn't like Liverpool's system but they had two players [Suarez and Sturridge] who were unplayable. Together, their play beggared belief - I have never seen anything like it. But having a player like Suarez covered over a multitude of sins, and I think we are seeing that this season."

some wonderful twists of the knife from claridge there, nicely done
 
Has Rafael ever built a team though?

Hector Cuper built the Valencia team, Houllier built the rs team, Mourinho built the Inter team.

Look at the gash he has to work with if/when he gets the rs gig.

You think Brenda has spunked a load up the wall...wait until this guy gets the nod.

I hope he does... then makes a pigs ear out of it...small club my a**e

Thoughts at half time:

Brendan Rodgers: "Our objective was just to win the game - we said that at half-time, the message was clear… if it's 1-0, it's 1-0."

You lyin' get.
 
Martin Kelly on Crystanbul:

“When I walked in [Liverpool's dressing room] it was probably the worst I’d known it in all my time at the club,” Kelly told the ECHO. “To be in there that night was a real low. Everyone was devastated. There was just silence, no-one said anything. Luis was in tears and I felt so sorry him for him because he had given so much for the team. Everyone had worked so hard to put the club in a position to win the title. There had been so many highs during the season and there was a real sense of togetherness in the squad. But with that result everyone knew it was over. Palace burst the bubble and brought Liverpool crashing back down to earth.”

:dance:

So beautiful.
 
So beautiful.
A picture speaks a thousand words. The night after Crystanbul when they had to pose for their team awards night - AKA Bottlers Bash.

Claridge: "I wasn't surprised Liverpool didn't tighten up because it's the way they played all season. I was disappointed in some of the senior pros who should have told the rest of the team to kill the game. They kept playing the same way even though they weren't dominating the game.

"The game had changed so all that needed to happen was for the full-backs not to run forward and the midfielders to sit. Get men behind the ball and Liverpool would have won the game. But nothing changed. Ultimately it was the manager's fault, he's the man who had to tell his players just to sit back for 10 minutes."


Mr Clever and Stevie me coming in for stick. Don't think Claridge will be welcome at the bottom half finish end of season bash.
