I like Neville Southall. Used to follow him on Twitter.

His politics is better than his analysis of goalies mind.
Well Prickford exempted he is garbage.

I remember Southall, and he was an absolutely ridiculous keeper. Probably the best one of the eighties.
But it was a time when keepers were expected to stand on their line and save stuff. They did have an expectation to build play, pass accurately or play as a sweeper.

It’s worth remembering that the change in the back-pass rule radically changed what was expected of a keeper. At the time, he was probably as accomplished as you could hope for. Also a really brilliant guy as well.

And I’ve seen some of his fine saves but towards the end I doubt he’d be able to have made it off his line.
Imagine Prickford with the back pass rule not in place

Would’ve loved him to takeover back in 2015.
It was also a great choice to pick from: Ancelotti and Klopp. Much better from the lazy days of Curbishley, O’Neill, Hodgson, etc.
Some of my friends pointed out that Klopp could be a better fit for the task at hand and looking back, I agree. Still, if it turned out to be Ancelotti, would’ve loved that also.
Great career from Ancelotti, full respect. We met many times.
20 games against his sides: 6 wins, 3 draws, 11 defeats.

I think Ancelotti would have been a disaster. We needed someone to oversee a rebuild, and carry the club. Ancelotti has always been more of a finisher.

He raises both if you touch his G-spot.
I remember a report saying that he had asked FSG for a budget of over £200m for rebuilding the squad straight off. He probably wasnt wrong but Klopp got us going for far less and allowing that level of investment to be spread over a few years and aided through some cunning player sales.

I do think that FSG had their first choice nearly nailed on before they decided to interview Ancelotti.
A lot of times , these interviews are conducted just to reinforce the view that the first candidate ticked all the boxes. It’s happened to me before and I’ve done it too before.

It’s rather like Edwards/Hughes deciding to have a interview with Amorim etc. It was pretty sure that Arne ticked all the boxes and was available.
Amorim , while available, had a lot of factors going against him.
