2020/21 Jordan Pickford

[Lanolin]

Don’t think the club have handled this very well to be honest. I think Pickford should have publicly ‘apologised’ or at least acknowledged it, and the club should have put some of their own PR out to spin whatever angle they want. Just sitting back while this circus rolls on isn’t great I don’t think.

Did anyone hear what that bellend Paul Merson said on Gillette soccer special. Jeff Stelling says to him something along the lines of "that looked nasty, what happened" Merson says "Kean stands on one of the Man U players, he's on loan at PSG from Everton so you know...."

Pity they never put so much effort into apologising for Heysel.


We ain't killed anybody.
Nothing to see here

I don't wish ill on anyone but cannot wait to see the reaction when one of the RS unintentionally take out an opponent, lets see the media run with it then, will their own players come out and throw their own player under the bus saying how unacceptable it is? Honestly cannot believe such a witch hunt for what any sane person can see was an unintentional injury. At no point has Pickford gone out to 'do' him.

It just baffles me that so many people can jump on a bandwagon. What happened to perspective and rationale. For all the ex players who know how these things happen in a game of football who are in the media, you should be ashamed of yourselves for the absolute ridiculousness of what you spout, you all should know better than to feed the frenzy of the 'Liverpool' supporters and their lust for vengeance.

Its been done to the death this now.

If we are honest as fans we dont want to see any player suffering injury .
Its an ACL injury and most if not all come back as good as ever , there are far worse injuries a player can get .

It was reckless , as that there is no doubt but nowhere near the intent we've seen other injuries in the past ie Gomes.
The media , ex players ,ex refs and pundits have been having a field day with this.

All parties seriously need to move on from this as i can see this as having a totally detrimental effect on our good start to the season.

I'd happily see every Liverpool player, past, present and future have their achilles tendons ripped out in freak gardening accidents mate.

I still think Pickford got the ball to be honest.

 

[TheVelourFog]

what a ridiculous line of thought

we get to a Cup final, you better believe i'm hoping their best players get injured beforehand

doesnt mean personally smacking their knees with a crowbar

He definitely did get the ball... and socket joint.

Pickford apparently offered his apology, Van Dijk never accepted it.

No way would I go public after that.

Genuinely though. The ball is lofted in, hits the ground and bounces nowhere. It hits Pickfords heel and goes out, he stops it bouncing back in the air.

Dont think the club have to say anything- if they do, it will only fan the flames and the circus will roll on even more. Best reaction is no reaction.

Is this not done with yet? Are Liverpool gonna wheel out the tea lady to talk about the tackle? Its over, the referees reviewed it, no disciplinary action can be taken. two players collided challenging for a loose ball, happens every game, occasionally someone gets injured. everyone else has to get on with it, why is this different?

This means more...
