LFC fucked up the contract decisions

But have handled this well

Played it slow (slower than I would have liked) & let the snake in the grass show true colours

David Johnson got the goals in the late 70s sides, but he was not the key.

Without Trent, he is the player that Mourinho was mocked for selling.

Liverpool fans will hate to see Jose proved right, but there you go…

His success was entirely dependant on having Trent behind him, creating. His departure, unfortunately, has shown the true colours.

Godfather 3 ruined his business model

Conservative, with a small c, English football massively underrated Trent, as it always does with passing talent (see Hoddle) who was Liverpool’s MVP for the last decade

History won’t recall this as the Klopp era. This was the Trent era

United, early 50s, Arsenal late 80s, United early 90s became dominant due to their youth system.

Same for Liverpool last decade, but it was one player thru that system

Pales into insignificance, compared to the grifting on the other, more important, side of the Atlantic, but there are people still employed in the U.K. media who claimed Trent couldn't defend

Trent was always the key to Liverpool's success over last decade.

His creativity enabled the midfield to be packed with hard workers & teams couldn't give him space so had to allow it for Salah. Now they can concentrate on Mo & he is good, but not great.

The last time United won at Anfield was January 2016.

Trent made his debut in October 2016.

Liverpool went 10 matches unbeaten against United.

Trent left.

They lost
