Stick to Football
John Barnes: Liverpool Legend, Battles with United & Tackling Racism | Stick to Football EP 112

What do you want to do?

Stick to Football
John Barnes: Liverpool Legend, Battles with United & Tackling Racism | Stick to Football EP 112

That is when, all of a sudden,

Stick to Football
John Barnes: Liverpool Legend, Battles with United & Tackling Racism | Stick to Football EP 112

Well, because Liverpool has an identity of the environment and JΓΌrgen is like that.

Stick to Football
John Barnes: Liverpool Legend, Battles with United & Tackling Racism | Stick to Football EP 112

Never mind he gets it, he's like that.

Stick to Football
John Barnes: Liverpool Legend, Battles with United & Tackling Racism | Stick to Football EP 112

I don't think JΓΌrgen could go to Real Madrid, Bayern, Munich.

Stick to Football
John Barnes: Liverpool Legend, Battles with United & Tackling Racism | Stick to Football EP 112

He's quite a socialist who likes, he doesn't like the superstar thing and he likes to be a man of the people, if you like.

Stick to Football
John Barnes: Liverpool Legend, Battles with United & Tackling Racism | Stick to Football EP 112

And I think that he suits Liverpool.

Stick to Football

And then once the fans love a manager and back a manager, the players then have to perform.

Stick to Football

And once he comes down, because we have some superstar players, I don't have to mention any names, who under different circumstances are used to boom a young at Arsenal when he got away with stuff.

Stick to Football

And whenever he was left out of the team, they booed the manager, sat the manager.

Stick to Football
John Barnes: Liverpool Legend, Battles with United & Tackling Racism | Stick to Football EP 112

Then Arteta came and Arteta was strong and look what happens now.

Stick to Football
John Barnes: Liverpool Legend, Battles with United & Tackling Racism | Stick to Football EP 112

Klopp had a couple of players where before, leave him out, the fans are going to boo him, say put him on the pitch.

Stick to Football
John Barnes: Liverpool Legend, Battles with United & Tackling Racism | Stick to Football EP 112

He didn't and the fans still backed him.

Stick to Football

So until the fans are going to back the manager and give him 100% carte blanche to do anything and look at the outcome of that.

Stick to Football

So therefore, as much as, you know, I'm a middle-class boy from uptown Kingston, as Righty likes to remind me.

Stick to Football
John Barnes: Liverpool Legend, Battles with United & Tackling Racism | Stick to Football EP 112

When I played football, when I played football at school and in other areas, and Righty will know these areas, you talk about Trentstown, Boys Town.

Stick to Football
John Barnes: Liverpool Legend, Battles with United & Tackling Racism | Stick to Football EP 112

I used to play in the inner cities as a middle-class kid.

Stick to Football
John Barnes: Liverpool Legend, Battles with United & Tackling Racism | Stick to Football EP 112

They're not coming to my house, but that's what football is.

Stick to Football
John Barnes: Liverpool Legend, Battles with United & Tackling Racism | Stick to Football EP 112

And football for me is a socialist sport.

Stick to Football
John Barnes: Liverpool Legend, Battles with United & Tackling Racism | Stick to Football EP 112

There's no hierarchy in football.
