Andy Robertson on Diogo Jota: We’ll probably never get over his death

Andy Robertson says the leaders in the Liverpool dressing room can help with the heartache of Diogo Jota's death, but thinks it is "something we'll probably never get over".
www.bbc.co.uk www.bbc.co.uk

Here we go... The noble 'leader' Robertson feels he has to stay around to help his devastated teammates try in vain to concentrate on football...

Just as an excerpt...

"I knew in that moment that the club needed me.

I know I am one of the leaders in the team and I have obviously been made vice-captain now.

It's going to take a lot this season. I know football was irrelevant but if you take the football out of it, even as lads in the changing room, we are all going to need help during the season.

We've already had difficult moments in terms of the first time in front of fans, having to go to your team-mate's funeral which is absolute madness to even say, and everything else that followed.

I know the leaders in that changing room have got a big job to do in terms of trying to help everyone as a club and even Diogo's family through this massively difficult moment.

It won't get easier but maybe we can numb the pain a little bit as time goes on. It's up to as leaders to try and guide us guide us through that."

I know it was a tragic event. But for God's sake... o_O

It’s honestly sickening how many of the pundits and ex players/managers now have completely sold out to them because they know it’s the only way to keep any kind of media profile is to have a constant hard on for them.

Seriously ex United and Chelsea players falling over themselves to big up what a great fan base they are how fantastic Anfield is, should have a word with themselves, it’s absolutely embarrassing.

I’d love an ex player to just call them out for being the narcissistic fannies they are but you know it’s the last time you’d ever see them on the media. It’s the closest thing we’ve got to state controlled tv now. You can openly criticise the government, the crown, the police, anyone you like but if you say something against Liverpool FC or their fans in the media that’s your career over with and a shrieking Carragher will have cut you off mid sentence before you could even say it anyway.

Most recent I have seen is Rio Ferdinand saying Isak should not be vilified for forcing a move. Shame non of the media seemed to have that same energy when Alexander Arnold wanted to leave. The player that fulfilled his contract.

Plain and simple for me. Don't down tools and refuse to train and play to force a move. Either don't sign the contract or get your agent to insert a release clause that clubs can activate.
 
Today I did some work in a house. The guy living there had all kinds of RS trash around his living room, a real state it was. Once he discovered that I was a clever chap who supported a real team, he tried to have a go. When did you last win the league etc . Of course, he mentioned 6 European cups and asked how many had we won. I informed him that we had never won it as we were denied the chance in the 80s when we had a great team. He started moaning about bitter blues and how it was not Liverpool's fault we got banned. However, he had no answer when I asked him who's fault was it then! This kind of talk went on and on, and he seemed a bit miffed that I was not bothered by his claims of greatness and was not being wound up by anything he said. Then, he said Everton will get a points deduction for spending so much in the summer? What!. I told him we have spent nowhere near the half a billion that his club had. He then went on some odd rant, making up figures, saying things like net spend, shirt income, gates? He lost me, I could make no sense of his ranting anymore. He kept claiming Everton are cheating. My laughing at this point made him rant even more. Then he stunned me! and claimed ..... that when you add in all the factors, then Liverpool have actually spent less than Everton this summer. I had to go outside, my laughing was too much. He was fuming and I realised he really believed what he was saying. unbelievable. I did add £20 to his bill though.

I would have charged him £60 more. Tenner for each of their CL trophy wins. Tit

You should have also stuck a dirty, rotting fish somewhere, like in an air vent as well…
Somewhere, where it would take him ages to find where the rotting smell is coming from! 😂

You should have pissed in his toilet and not flushed it then lift up the back bit and piss in there too, so when he sees it later and flushes it then more piss comes out and into the bowl...

No matter who they played for or managed they always seem to identify as RS even if it was just a short stint there.
Absolute traitors some of them
