his record when he took over wasn't bad either considering the team we had at the time Thompson's record in a 34-game spell reads as follows: Won 17, Drawn 12, Lost 5, Goals For 51, Goals Against 25. There have been 16 clean sheets in those 34 games, home and away wins against Manchester United, a 4:0 victory over Leeds at Elland Road, and a 6:0 mauling of Ipswich Town at Portman Road. An astonishingly good record for a rookie manager. Liverpool also became the first English team ever to win in Kiev in what was Thommo's first game in charge though that victory owed much to the players' resolve to 'win it for Gerard'.
