You know, in the old days, this isn't the Liverpool way.
Forget that.
We have to have a new way.
And I think until Man United say, we have to have a new way, regardless of what went on in the past, all you'll be doing is trying to live up to the standards of the past.
And Liverpool went through that for a long time, until Jurgen came, when they said, we don't care what Dalglish and Shankly, not in a bad way, did.
What do you want to do?
That is when, all of a sudden,
Well, because Liverpool has an identity of the environment and Jürgen is like that.
Never mind he gets it, he's like that.
I don't think Jürgen could go to Real Madrid, Bayern, Munich.
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.
And I think that he suits Liverpool.
And then once the fans love a manager and back a manager, the players then have to perform.
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.
And whenever he was left out of the team, they booed the manager, sat the manager.
Then Arteta came and Arteta was strong and look what happens now.
Klopp had a couple of players where before, leave him out, the fans are going to boo him, say put him on the pitch.
He didn't and the fans still backed him.
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.
So therefore, as much as, you know, I'm a middle-class boy from uptown Kingston, as Righty likes to remind me.
