Well, I'm probably going to fricking cry today.

No, but seriously.

He's the reason why I love and follow the club. I play my game based on the way he's always played and I will for sure miss seeing him in red but it's been a great ride. Wish we could have gotten him a title last year but Istanbul still gives me chills everytime I watch it. All this being said

I'm balling like a baby

I'm not ready for this

That was a classic BR match sadly.

Dominated possession. Little to show for it. A few costly mistakes leading to goals.

Ugh, Stevie G tribute online has no sound at the moment, thanks for screwing this up NBC

ETA: NVM, just fixed itself

Gerrard

frick off, Brendan

stevie

can't believe its been 10 years since istanbul

for some reason the other night i had a dream about that game neil mellor won with that huge strike against arsenal

Sad to see Gerrard leave, although as others have said, it is probably time. I've only been following the team for a year, so I don't have as strong an emotional connection to him as a lot of you do, but I'm extremely glad that I was able to make it to Charlotte last summer and see him play live in a Liverpool jersey. Watching him lead the entire team around the field after the match applauding the fans while everyone sang YNWA is what really cemented my love for the club.

That said, we haven't seen the last of him. He'll be back in a few years as manager. Hopefully then he can get the league title that always escaped him as a player.

Soooooooo Rodgers can go

To be fair, I think most are on the Rodgers out if there is a great replacement. For Klopp - sure.

For Redknapp or some other recycled has been, hell no. I think Rodgers has shown that he's capable of being a really good manager. I think we have seen this year that there are still a lot of flaws, and we can't spend the next few years waiting around for him to stop looking at his portrait and start growing from his mistakes. He makes way too many of them time and time again. Balo playing as a lone striker this year, without much of a look at him in a two striker system, is baffling. The transfer committee needs a real close look and critical eye as we can't keep wasting money for guys that don't fit our model.

I fear Klopp will head somewhere like Arsenal though where he can more easily recruit players for his system and still continue to pretend that he's not one of the big boys since he's got no oil money.
