His own assistant manager berated him when he left the field. Origi had made a fool of him and he couldn't keep his temper. He meant it all right.

Have I missed something?
My brothers didn't respond to the torrent of abuse that me and other Red directed at them, but one did say "I want us to keep getting beat, so that he's sacked. Bit like you when Rodgers was manager"
That's not really fair, as I never did that, because Liverpool winning is more important to me, but it does illustrate the depth of feeling about Martinez.
Dead man walking, as the media love to say. Last night was a career-ending, insipid display from Everton. It will be very interesting to see what kind of performance they deliver against United.
I know, but we saw a bit of it ourselves with the last three managers. Not as much or obvious as the current discontent with Martinez...apart from arguably the dark days of Hodgson.
But you can understand the logic to a point. See also: United fans and Moyes/ LVG
Nah, it's not something I ever see the logic behind. If they're gonna go, they're gonna go. If your board are stupid enough to let a managers future hinge on one game, when we're talking about a manager in a position with the responsibility of spending huge amounts of money and deciding the tactics that can decide future revenue, attraction, etc. Wishing for defeat is stupid. You just hope that you win and that your board are clever enough to be observing the bigger picture and to not be conned into reprieves everytime there's a good result.

The 6-1 debacle? That just made me furious.
I have to admit, I watched that Hodgson Wolves death sentence (just after Xmas) and while I wasn't happy, I just felt...numb
Is it possible the people wearing Napoli/ Lazio shirts were Napoli/ Lazio fans?
That's OK isn't it? In a weird footballing tourist type of way?

Peter or Jono?
Seriously shit Everton team preparing for Semi final in the cup. That weak United team was their best chance to reach the final in a long time but the current state of affairs at Everton make it a walk over for United.
Outside of the UK it's always the 'EPL'. Sometimes it slips out .. I'm sure that will be Roopy's excuse 😉
I reached a point where I wanted us to lose under Rodgers. It still annoyed me when we did but it carried a grim kind of satisfaction, too.
And clearly everything that's happened since has proven the wisdom of that position.

That's an obscenely good set of stats. If he didn't look like someone out of a builder's yard and his name was Milnez there would be a wankathon over him.
He is a great unfashionable player
They were right. No team should play the way Everton did. They were just not interested and a complete lack of effort and will. It is not even a game where you can actually say we played well.
There are no comparisons to aston vila either as that team tried but but lacked quality.
Milner must be annoyingly unfashionable in other walks of life because he sure isn't on here. Day after day of self congratulation and "I've always rated him" and "If his name was".
Message received loud and clear. Milner is a good player and everyone is dead clever.

Milner didn't start too well at LFC – everybody thought he was brought in to replace some of Gerrard's experience and leadership, but until recently it seemed that those shoes were way too big for him to fill. I'm really glad he seems to finally have settled and found his comfort zone here. He is a talented player – never quite in Gerrard's league, of course, but he has many traits of genuine quality and his work ethic and attitude are top-notch. His last few performances were magnificent – he played like a real leader and captain, not just a useful, but limited jack-of-all-trades he seemed to be earlier in the season. I am pretty positive that it's not a blip and Milner will continue pretty much in this vein for the rest of his career at Liverpool.
On a related topic, I really can't believe the transformation of the whole team under Klopp in a matter of a few months. It was not long ago that we had the pleasure of watching Balotelli or Benteke standing up front totally isolated with their hands on their hips while Coutinho, Lallana and co. played meaningless one-twos around the penalty area with no threat and penetration whatsoever. And every time we lost the ball we would look like conceding. Now fast forward 7 months and the whole team is so much more together and more aggressive in both attack and defense and they are starting to bring it consistently too. Having characters like Milner (and Hendo and Firmino and a few others) who took to those ideas quickly definitely helped but the way Klopp transformed the whole culture of this set of players he inherited is remarkable.

Excellent post. Milner's new to captaincy but has taken to that like a duck to water as well.
As for Klopp, he's re-energised not only the club but, if one believes what some journalists are writing, the whole Red section of the city.
