He is the reason why I support Liverpool. Here in Malta, there traditionally always was a choice of club to support. Either an English club or an Italian club. It is very much the same to this day, though nowadays you'll find a few Real, Barca, Bayern fans etc. As a kid, I came from a family of Arsenal supporters, but I remember that in the late 70s and early 80s Kevin Keegan was the idol of all the kids who liked English football here in Malta. I remember asking my Dad who Keegan played for and he told me it was Hamburg, but that he previously played for Liverpool. I became a Red that day. I never saw him play for Liverpool. I remember him in the 1982 WC coming off the bench against Spain, some of his games at Southampton and then the excitement of the Newcastle fans when he signed for them. In 1982, as a 6yr old, I had my First Holy Communion. My sister's boyfriend's family, owned a jewellery shop. They walked in one evening, holding a box and told me that they have a gift for me. I opened it up and it was a silver-plated money box in the shape of a football. Etched in on the bottom there was written "To Eric, from Kevin Keegan". My sister told me that he had walked into the shop and that she had told him that I was one of his biggest fans. He had insisted on buying me a gift. Of course, it was all b******s to make her younger brother happy........but it took me a few months to realise that it was not really a gift from KK. I still have that money box somewhere. A reminder of my first football idol as a kid and also a memory of my sister who sadly passed away a few years ago. YNWA Kev

An absolute standout player. I for one admit that I never expected him to be that good for us. I thought we were buying a decent squad player back in 2017. Was I wrong....... My youngest son's idol. The shirt he bought on his first trip to Anfield. We were both holding back tears watching his video earlier, even though we will both not admit it to each other. In today's age of limited loyalty, I doubt we'll ever see someone with Salah's numbers and consistency ever again at the club...........and again I hope I am wrong. YNWA Mo. Thanks for all the brilliant memories.

Beglin was very good. That nasty injury when he was just 23yrs old basically ended him.
-
I'd have Nicol over Robbo for the reason that he was more versatile as a player. Not dissing Robbo. By miles the best LB we've had since Nicol and one who helped revolutionise our game under Klopp. Gutted were he to leave.

If Guehi is getting 300k a week at City compared to 160k we had apparently agreed with him, that is 36.5m over the course of a 5-year contract. I stand to be corrected about the figures of course, but if true I can see why the club didn't pursue him. We should of course have an alternative lined up.
-
To be fair it is the first time this player has been in this situation at the club i.e. not starting. When he was in the closest he was to this situation at the end of Klopp's reign he did make it evident that he was not happy after the West Ham game.
-
Very disappointing from Mo. With players like him it rarely ends well when they start losing their place in the team.
-
They were both goals, correct. The only consistency is that both decisions went against Liverpool.

Wait a few years. My 14yr old son (taller than me already) jumped on me and flattened me on the sofa when Rio scored. -
Bloody hell. That video the club released this evening has made me very sad once again.

Watching the funeral on You Tube. Filmed discreetly from outside the church but you could hear the service on a speaker. Don't understand Portuguese but it came across as a very sombre and simple celebration. I think they are being buried in the churchyard as all the congregation moved to the adjacent plot following the caskets. Loads of players, ex-team mates etc. there. YNWA Diogo

I've been unwell the last couple of days. I was in a daze yesterday morning when my 14yr old son came into my room to ask whether I've heard the news. I was shocked. At that point only MARCA were reporting it, so I was hoping it might not be confirmed. Sadly it was true. My boy is in bits. At that age the players are your idols and one of them passing away is unthinkable. I've been crying like a baby too. You just cannot help think of his family and the life they had ahead of them with him and his brother. Loved Jota as a player. One of those great team players. No nonsense, tough, gave 100% every time and didn't moan or sulk. Off the pitch he seemed to have been an even greater character. What a sad loss. I agree that the no.20 should be retired. I don't agree with such moves when a player retires or a former player dies.....but the no.20 shirt was still Diogo's. It should remain his.

Is Kerkez going to announce himself during the Dua Lipa encore maybe?

He was quite good when they knocked us out of the league cup in the semis in 2017. I forgot which of the two games it was in, but he picked the ball up in their half and ran at our team without anyone being able to take the ball off him until he was fouled.
-
80m for a striker is cheap.
-
A few months ago my FB memory from when I shared the news of his signing came up. It was quite funny reading all the posts by the Man U fans thinking we paid 45-50m over his realistic price and that he was nothing special.
-
All's well that ends well. Thanks for the memories Trent. You were exceptional at times. We move on.
-
I can understand what Klopp did. He was defending one of his best players, who won all there is to win with him. I am very pissed off at Trent. We all know he ran his contract down in agreement with Real, just to go there on a free. I do however also think that throughout this, he has still played an important part in the team. In hindsight, he should have maybe announced his departure next week. I am against the booing. It is different to booing a player turning up against us whilst playing for another club. I'd have personally preferred a mute reception when he came on the other day and I still think he deserves a polite applause during the presentation and celebrations. More importantly, as many have said........let us not make it about Trent. The club is bigger than anyone. Liverpool FC are champions and let's celebrate that .

The main issue with most wide players nowadays is that the play inverted and few take on the full back. They often slow down to cut inside and whilst that can be devastating as Salah has proven on many times, it often slows down attacks that could be more incisive. -
I personally do not agreeing with the booing. Maybe he shouldn't have been played these two games and just given a start/cameo against Palace.
