Do many remember Lucas Leiva taking a shot at goal which was way off target with no force, and Klopp was laughing his head off with the assistant at the time. Even Lucas had a grin after it. ??
{Ed025's Note - was it worse than Beto,s effort in the first half last week Ron?..

Merseyside Derby, Ron. Won 4-0.

Believe it was in the derby too.
The one where Origi took that horrible tackle off Funes Mori and essentially missed the rest of the run in.
We battered them that day.

I remember it well, also his goal when he goes round the keeper like a top class centre forward, can't remember the opposition!
Your a good striker away from being a very decent team ed

Class memory.
Best one similar for me is when Milner got a bit miffed at being subbed for Jones?
Had a word with Klopp.
10 seconds later, Jones, I think, scored or set one up, and Milner burst out laughing as he ran to Klopp as they celebrated.
But the Lucas one was made funnier by the commentator saying something about has not scored for Liverpool in x games. Class.

Ed025. The image just came into my mind of Klopp. It was hilarious. You need characters in the game. We have a lot of "coaches" With similar traits. What manager do you see on the sidelines now laugh their ass off at a player and in good jest? Zero.
I still miss him. ?
{Ed025's Note - i never seen it Ron but i can imagine it mate, i really liked Klopp and though he was a breath of fresh air, there does not seem to many characters in the game these days..but he was certainly one of them..

Nearly went out for a throw in that one Ed
{Ed025's Note - we were all in the pub watching it Chewy and my red mates all burst out laughing, i just laughed along because i just could not believe my eyes mate.. :)
24 Apr 2026 19:59:51
I remeber that one. I laughed, as well because Lucas simply did not score goals. Lucas wasn't about that life, lol.
And yes, Ed25. Beto's was worse because it nearly went out for a throw in.
Don't blame me. You asked.
{Ed025's Note - my flabber was certainly ghasted Oli, it was like Roberto Carlos hitting a free kick with his boots on the wrong feet mate.. :)

Reckon I'm suffering from The Mandela Effect...
I don't remember Lucas Leiva playing under Klopp... ????
I remember him being referred to as Benitez's love child, and I honestly thought he left us during Rodgers time...

And a goalie No.8, rb, lb, coupla centrehalves, a mf, two wingers and a forward. On the bright side, they have Dewsbury Hall to build around.
{Ed025's Note - we nearly need as many as your lot by the sounds of it FM..

That was a great moment. The team were in full flow and playing with confidence against a fierce rival. I think that's why Klopp was so giddy. It only further proved the point when even Lucas Leiva was having a crack at goal.
He got more minutes under Klopp than most people would think, I think they worked together for nearly 2 full seasons. I remember he did a really good job filling in at CB during a couple of injury crises.
In his prime he was such a solid defensive midfielder, always ranked highly on interceptions and tackles per 90. A genuine asset to the team when fit, but unfortunately that was not regularly.
All the same, he showed excellent character to come through a tough start, with a lot of fans giving him stick. He left so loved that thousands of us would go out of their way to "influence" Lazio's player of the season awards.

At least yis don't need a new manager, a DOF and a technical director ed?
{Ed025's Note - some blues would disagree about the manager FM..
