Yes I was critical of him and I stand by my criticism too.

I think he is doing a very good job and is currently assembling a very strong squad.

I think he will win the league next year too .

The main job for Liverpool in the summer is to hold onto Salah and Firmino. Both excellent players who I’m sure will attract attention in Espana.

It was a shocking call not to give a free against Sterling for the shove on VVD. I don't think it was a foul.   That little skinny weasel Sterling pushing big VVD off the ball, would ya fcuk off. Ref was correct. And Id have slated VVD at half time for it.     This What weight and height would VVD be 6'4ish 14st?? Sterling is what 5'10- 6" 10-12st?

Happy read your post when I replied to Gary. So if roles were reversed, VVD likely gets a free against and a yellow imo. Can smaller players just go around fouling at will or something now, simply because they are smaller?

I would expect a far better challenge in the PL next season. Keep the top players, Keita coming in plus a couple more and there's a very strong team there. It took Liverpool way too long this season to hit really good form, a lot of rotatation early in the season. I think it will be far more settled next season and in the PL there will be a much more regular starting 11. That will be huge.

Once Real and Barca come calling it’s hard to say no. They will have to strengthen the squad with 4/5 players to challenge for the league IMO.

Pool fans should be. This was some win, 5-1 over 2 legs against a fantastic City side. If City had gone through, I think the only team I'd be wary of putting money on them against would have been Real. City are a top class side, so to win by that score over 2 legs is something else. As for the semis, I'd love to see Liverpool play Bayern. I think it would be a brilliant tie. I know nearly all Liverpool fans will want Roma, but I'd love to see them get Bayern. Have they ever played Bayern in knock out European Cup football, I can't recall offhand.
