I couldn't get tickets for the match <insert small dig that I had no problem seeing the cup match vs Coventry a few years back> but there were 2 incidents with De Zerbi that were shown on the TV. Curly haired Liverpool player pushed the ball out of his hand when he picked it up & De Zerbi did well to keep his cool. De Zerbi picked it up another time & then when one of theirs came to get it he chucked it behind him. 1st one I thought 'cheeky little git', 2nd one made me really laugh. My friend missed it on the TV & jnr in East stand missed it as well. I'd like to show them as well as see it myself again! 😂

Had a great show. Was in WSL block D as a change from the upper. Never been down there before. His chucking it away from the Liverpool player was great, and got the crowd going a bit. I quite enjoyed his lectures to his staff as well. He's a great manager but I bet he's hard work in real life. Also I thought Klopp looked lost. A bit bereft really. And with the worst trainers I've ever seen.

At first I was a bit 'whoa' he's got a yellow card and he'd only been here for 2 minutes. The way he celebrates goals overrides that. I get the impression that he's 'clear' on what he wants from them but not 'horrible' like some managers are. Firm but fair, and doesn't take any crap. I think he's great! :lolol:
I Think we should have a 'De Zerbi loses that plot thread', it would be meaningful this time.

You know his interpreter - who is also a coach. I said to him the other day pls keep celebrating the goals like you do - it’s amazing for the fans. Incredibly humble. RDZ then asked him what I’d said and he told him in Italian - RDZ smiled and liked the appreciation. I love it.

I'm confused - have you quoted this from somewhere, or were you, sheebo, talking to De Zerbi via his translator? After all these years of you being ITK, have you finally got an actual, real, exclusive?

Well I went to supporters club thing - it was in the World Cup. I was walking out the west stand and heard some foreigners talking all foreign behind. It was RDZ and the coach man interpreter… I’d already let them have a photo and say hello 10 mins earlier. So yeh just had a chat - no exclusive .. Altho RDZ said a cracking story about young Enciso which had Barber tearing his hair out a bit…

I just assumed he had posh seats in the tunnel club (not sure that's been built yet, but hey)! :lolol:
