Kop Quote

Mark Lawrenson

"Joe was what I would describe as a genial man who, even before he got the job which he inherited from Bob, was always extremely well respected and liked by the players. He was very thoughtful about his football, very approachable as a coach and a manager.

"The biggest tribute I could pay to him would be when he got the job I think every single man in the first team squad were desperate for him to be successful. He was following a formidable act in Bob, and I think one or two different people outside of Liverpool thought maybe it was going to be too difficult an act to follow. He was brilliant and the nicest thing I can say is everybody in the first team dressing room really, really wanted him to be successful, and that was obviously reflected in his first season."

Red Corner

Liverpool’s Left Flank Is Losing One of Its Defining Players

15 April 2026

Liverpool has already said goodbye to some significant players, but some of them have a different emotional coloring. They do not simply eliminate good in the team. They change the figure of a team in their heads. Andy Robertson is one of them. He is more than a left-back, as he has been doing so for almost ten years. He has been one of the most articulate translations of the Liverpool character: tough, violent, sentimental and never backward.
