jan summarised it perfectly
Steve Nichol running down the stairs and not feeling he really stepped on the stairs. That is what football can do to you?
ESPN has the worst pundits in the sport. Just yelling over each other non stop with nonsense. Anfield is electric though
Steve delusional nonsense
Liverpool is football demolition team.,….
I think teams are more scared when Liverpool keeps a clean sheet because they never do that
I'll have a salty Craig and a Cuppicino, Please.
Craig hates Liverpool. Ever been there Craig. Clearly not to try to dissolve the Anfield atmosphere. Wake up son.
Burley played for the what club what achievement he did in football?
Craig burley is salty hahahah
Anfield under the right coach with ALL the fans behind him 100% is a devastating stadium.
United had it with Ferguson.
Unfortunately Jurgen will leave 2025 & FSG will get a dose of the real football world reality. They hit GOLD with Klopp.
Schmeichel is a Jackass for deliberately making the Liverpool players to walk close to him to pick up the ball before taking penalty, so he could taunt them.!!!…What a disgrace he is
Schmeichel should have received a yellow card after the first taunting, and a red card if he did his dumb act again.
Craig burley needs firing, he's the most anti Liverpool and most miserable panelist out there, at best he was a average player and a terrible pundit.
There's a reason why ANFIELD is considered as the Fortress! And not any other ground in the world. That's probably the answer to all the questions! YNWA❤️
To be fair Frank, Chelsea was not a big club when you played there.
As someone who chose to be a Liverpool fan, there were times in the last 21 years I've regretted my choice. The Klopp era has been a nonstop euphoric ride and I wouldn't trade it for the world. I broke my foot celebrating Alissons winner v West Brom and I have 0 regrets
Klopp for Kops! Yeah!! Sending ? far down frm ???.
This game softened Stevie Nicol’s cold heart
Useless Craig – brainless without any silver
Craig soooooo salty
Tottenham didn’t look very scared when Liverpool attacked them, in fact they were loving it and cutting the reds open on every counter
I loved watching football without VAR again, the players dropping to the floor and the ref just waving play on, so funny to watch them realize , NO VAR !
You appreciate Anfield's atmosphere more when you're a neutral
I actually said the same thing , the way this team played all game specially the second half even if we didn't won they gave everything out..
ESPN desperately needs to get rid of Craig Burley. He's truly insufferable. Worse still, he loves the sound of his own voice way too much
Talk to Madrid teams ?
No one is scared of liverfool
Craig is jealous of Steve Nicol's success with Liverpool. I remember watching Steve tirelessly bombing up and down the right (and left) wing in the 80s. What a player!!! What a natural goal scorer. One of the all time Liverpool legends. Could listen to him all day. YNWA
YNWA ?????????? ..
Liverpool
Brentford hold my beer
Jan on fire ? absolutely ?% on point.
Why does Craig hate Liverpool????
Frank was absolutely spot on..
Delighted Steve Nicol came out with this. As someone who went to Anfield from the early 1990s to early 2000s and saw some historic matches, Liverpool lost their identity under both Houllier and Benitez. They both won trophies but I never liked the style of play, and more or less stopped going. When I started going, Barnes, Rush, Beardsley, Houghton, Whelan, Hansen, McMahon, Nicol, Grobeellaar was in the team.
Now, what makes the situation so interesting is Klopp's way of playing in philosophy is almost identical to the philosophy to the teams of the 1970s and 1980s. From the crazy high line, squeezing the play, quick turnover of possession, pressing from the front (closing down), the goal keeper having to sweep up. There are a few modern differences, I feel the full backs have become too important from an attacking sense and Liverpool need more creativity in midfield. But post Wjnaldum I think Klopp is trying to address this issue this season.
So, indeed great to see genuine attacking foorball at Anfield week in week out again like up until the late 1990s when Roy Evans was in charge. Roy Evans had a very talented group of players but unfortunately not a winning mentality.
Klopp is a god at Liverpool. You will not find a manager in the world that is loved as much as he is by the fans. I hope he gets a parade when he decides to leave us, the man deserves nothing less.
Say what you want but in the end it was Diogo Jota that won it for Liverpool!
Anfield's atmosphere is the equivalent to Luke Skywalker appearing on screen, pure anticipation knowing someone is about to be FFF'd up.
There are very few teams where the manager puts in kids in a domestic cup quarter-final, against a decent, fellow PL team and top four contender, and all of a sudden they are 3-1 down before half time and the fans still in the stadium, praising and singing their a55 off, not a single soul leaving. This club is special. Their fans are special. I don't think many Liverpool fans would've complained either if they were dumped by Leicester that day. It's like they know what the manager wants and they go along with him and the manager knows what the fans want the most. Match made in Heaven these two sets, if you ask me.
Liverpool 4 – 0 Barcelona.
There is no other ground, no other fans that can produce an atmosphere like that. Fact.
There is a reason legend's of the game from all over Europe rave about Anfield after experiencing it.
Nothing compares, especially on the big European nights
Allez Allez Allez
Liverpool making cup ties look like European classic, drama kings
