Shane Duffy seemed to go through some mental issues after his dad died but he's generally a pretty solid defender Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
54 Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 (edited) I like Klopp as a manager, but fuck me does he like a moan: Klopp told BT Sport: "If you like that sort of thing, watch wrestling." Referee Mike Dean did not issue any yellow cards at a sold-out Anfield on Saturday, despite Burnley conceding 12 free-kicks. Klopp was frustrated with challenges from Ashley Barnes and Chris Wood and left questioning if the rule changes are having a negative impact on the game. "We always had to be ready for a proper fight and we were today," said Klopp. "You saw these challenges with [Ashley] Barnes and [Chris] Wood and Virgil [van Dijk] and Joel [Matip]. I'm not 100% if officials are going in the right direction with these decisions. "It's like we're going 10 to 15 years backwards. The rules are like they are, but you cannot defend these situations. "The message now is let the game flow, but nobody exactly knows what that means. 'This is the football we want to see but it's just too dangerous."

If Maupay steps up and becomes that then fair play. Potter is quality, isn't he. He is going to be the next Rodgers or even a better version of Rodgers. Brighton play like a top 4 team and barring injuries or loss of form to key players, should be in the top 10. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toon25 Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Think he's a top manager. Best English manager at the moment for sure. Thoughtful, articulate, and has a real plan as to how he wants his teams to play. How fucking depressing to be jealous of fucking Brighton. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NUFCDoog Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Sol always looks so fucking miserable man, don’t know why they have him on, aside from ticking a box, looks like he wants to he anywhere else and is ready for an argument at any minute. They didn’t cut to him after speaking to Keane and Souness at one point and you saw him look to the side and get pissed off.
