That's great, but I still prefer the tackle.
That sounds like something that happens to the first years in Eton.
I'm sure he'd be up for that too.
He'd probably end up winning the wall game on his own.

Absolutely spot on. People go on about his hard, but fair, tackling but the quality of his passing is oft over-looked.
Christ. Between you and Hmmmm every Silver Cloud has a black lining.
Ha ha ha !
Ah but adding a hyphen means Predictive Text won't see you ... a bit like an invisible cape.

Jurgen Klopp admits he regrets the decision not to include Jon Flanagan in Liverpool’s Europa League squad. The popular full-back isn’t eligible to face Manchester United in the last 16 next Thursday because he was overlooked when the Reds re-submitted their list prior to the knockout stages getting underway last month.
Liverpool were permitted to make three changes and Klopp opted to bring in Steven Caulker, Joao Carlos Teixeira and Danny Ward for Joe Gomez, Danny Ings and Adam Bogdan.
The inclusion of Caulker rather than Flanagan, who had just returned to action after a long-term knee injury, was questioned at the time. Klopp insisted at the time that with Martin Skrtel having suffered a setback, he needed on-loan Caulker as defensive cover. However, with Skrtel having since proved his fitness and Dejan Lovren back from a hamstring problem, Liverpool find themselves with five fit centre-backs but with Flanagan, who shone in this week’s 3-0 rout of Manchester City, unavailable.
“Now we have too many centre-halves,” admitted Klopp. “The day before we put the squad list in we didn’t have any. Now we have too many and you think: ‘My God what have we done?’

He did what he had to do, what he always does, turn defeat into a fighting chance to win.
Watching those videos you just can't help but love how brave he is. They're not risky tackles as in possible free kicks- he's clearly first to the ball. But what he does is stand up and play the ball as though there's no one coming up on him. Other players slide tackle and the attacker jumps but he just wallops straight in. He's fucking priceless and i hope we sort his contract out.
