LFC v AC Milan (away) CL

Shankly

Reported to have said "I don't talk to players when they are injured. Good players don't get injured"

And there were these two gems from "the Little Red Book"

Sounds like a cunt.

To think in those days, most ligament and muscle strains, and some bone breaks, were dealt with on the pitch by putting an ice cold sponge down the front of the shorts and on the back of the neck.

Listening to Klopp’s press conference - I suspect a heavily rotated side

We have to rest the main guys. It's utter madness to play them in this one. The midfield 3 have just played 3 in a row, the front 3 never get a rest, TAA rarely gets a rest and we have a hectic schedule coming up. This is a dead rubber for us. **** what any other sides in the group need, we did our job and now have the pleasure of being able to rest players. If Mo, Jota, Mane, TAA, Matip, Fab, Hendo, Thiago and VVD play and get injured I'll be ****ing livid and be writing Klopp a stern letter.

So you're injured and someone accuses you of being lazy. **** off.

I agree. I wouldn’t appreciate hearing something like that from anyone, especially someone I respect.

Surely there was a fair element of tongue in cheek with Shanks. Many of his quotes are actually pretty funny.

[Scratch]

But, if they were said by the likes of Moyes or Guardiola, would we view them as tongue-in-cheek or would we be thinking 'lord, that man's a complete buffoon*'

All teams get players injured though, it's the nature of elite sport.

Of course but not all young players have such severe injuries in their career like Joe and imo it would be a bit naive of us to think that doesn't have a physical and mental effect on a kid. He has been incredibly unlucky and imo I just could never say he is the future judging by past history. If he could get fit and flying for a sustained period of time fantastic because we will need every available body to chip in this season! But I'll believe it when I see it.

Every time I see Elijah Dixon-Bonner's name I have to go check to see if he is from Donegal what with having both Dixon and Bonner in his surname.

I just cannot accept he is English with that name.

I very much doubt Shankly was driving his players to breaking point, but he liked to slip in the odd motivational quote on his way to creating a bastion of invincibility.
