Yeah Jurgen, felt the same.

But but but grown men had their feelings hurt by Trent :pleading_face:

Told y’all that the hole situation would have been handled differently under Jürgen and there would have been zero boos but Trent chants and clapping whenever he touches the ball.

I don’t think so.

Klopp cannot prevent things happening.

The reaction from him would’ve possibly been different, but that’s all.

And Trent really doesn’t need to be clapped or cheered at every touch of the ball.

But the stuff he got even less so, in my opinion.

I think it was probably done with anyway. He made the announcement, fans made there feelings known at the next opportunity and I’m thinking(hoping) that tomorrow we be a celebration for all.

Liverpool fans might actually have murdered Mario Gotze if they were in Dortmund’s shoes and Klopp sticks up for him all the time, so his opinion on Trent is no surprise.
But it goes straight in the bin along with the opinions of all the other former football players and pundits who don’t have any perspective on what it is to be a football fan.

Love the man, but don’t know what he thinks he achieves by coming back to the city at the point of our biggest ever celebration and souring the tone with a load of old patronising shite.

No one is saying you have to agree, but not everyone picks a football team out a catalogue and watches dispassionately from a distance.

Talk about patronising…

Grown ass men with hurt feelings who can’t think outside of their little world.

Boo boys literally spat on everything 'You’ll never walk alone’ stands for.

Yeah I’m watching dispassionately from a distance. Still enough to feel embarrassed when I heard the boos.

Just for the record, I’m not particularly into the booing, and I don’t really get it.

However, I’m not a fan of trying to police other peoples reactions. It’s an emotional response in an extremely emotional game. If you want the kind of emotional response that winning generates, then there is obviously a flip side to that - you can’t switch emotion on or off. We’re an emotional fan base or we aren’t.

On ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’, I can’t help but feel that it speaks to togetherness and communality. There is a socialism to the sentiment of that song, and it goes both ways.

I understand that you feel that Trent has been left to ‘Walk Alone’. However, don’t you think there that’s a two way street? Trent has given twenty years and lots of memories to Liverpool FC, but at the same time Liverpool have invested 20 years in developing him, giving him chances, giving him a platform for personal success, indulging the less paletable aspects of his football, and a fuck tonne of money. In return Trent has colluded with a rival to run down his contract and move so LFC don’t get a fee. Is he expressing a YNWA sentiment to the club that made him?

Mac Allister had no links to Brighton but still acted with enough decency to get them a fee when he moved.

Clearly not :sleeping_face:

I am already over the booing or not. If there was ever something despicable that came out of this is some section of fans talking down by telling us again that we are not them who are ‘from around here’, so we should know better then to tell them not to boo.

For me it’s never a locals/non locals conversation. The crazy thing ive found with this thread is people choosing to support a club with famously passionate fan base then making fun of those same supporters for being emotionally invested.

In your opinion.

Not this old trope again.

Different people have different attitude to risk. “A player extending his contract to enable the club to get a fee” – one possible interpretation could be it is insurance for the player (if he gets a leg breaking challenge, goes off form, clubs that were interested get into financial difficulty so pull out, etc).

Not to mention that even if it was true about the club getting a fee, he probably also received a hefty wage increase with that.

Yeah, I’m sure he has been learning Spanish for 18 month just to broaden his mind.

But seriously, are we at the stage of believing every shit rumour now?

He’d have made better use of the time learning to defend

I mean, it’s not like he doesn’t know how to defend.

It’s quite clearly doing it regularly that’s the issue.
