I think it’s an insanely stressful and pressured role to have given the expectations there.
Mamardashvili started off poorly last season (as did Valencia) but he was killing it from mid season on and so Valencia escaped relegation in a large part due to him.
If my memory serves (I can't believe myself at this point)
It'll still be high, but I think it's less than it could be. Playing outside of Germany keeps him out that pressure now as well.
True in the same way that you don't do "I told you so's" I assume
I use to think you were the dumbest person I've ever come across but now I'm left thinking you are one best wums around..
So there was no pressure on a team going to win a league for the first time with Bayern chasing?
And no pressure in last 10 games to go undefeated. None at all, I am sure.
Yep, and I remember a time we broke the world record for the best CB in the world AND the best keeper in the world. How'd that work out for us?
Collymore wasn't the reason we didn't win anything - He and Robbie were unplayable at times. It was the muppets behind him that were why we floundered while he was with us.
And there's a worl of difference between tempering expectations (which is fair enough) and writing the words 'I doubt we will win anything major ever again in next 5 seasons.', don't you think..? Especially after we've just done a lot of that improving that you're looking for...
So do you think he’s going to be another Keita?

Just got back in from a pub/club crawl in Shanghai.
One of the guys there was a Bayern supporter. He's convinced that we've signed our best player in the last decade.
He was very upset that Bayern were not getting him, but he's still hoping that he does a u turn and sign for them.
Told him everything's been confirmed practically. He seemed to accept it then but made sure to mention again that were getting a GEM

Not irreverent, just not the same as playing for Liverpool with our history and the weight of expectations that come with it every single game.
Who said there is no pressure? I said it’s nothing compared to the pressure our fans put on players playing for us.
Tell me about it - after we signed him and he looked really good in preseason and went and added Naby to my Fantasy Football Team!!!
Shortly after that, he got injured and I’ve never played Fantasy Football again.
You could add that he never played football again.
I believe I jinxed his entire career by dabbling in the dark arts of (fuck yer) Fantasy Football.
I’m doing some stuff on our player of the season threads which includes comparing our top 3s to the BBC Sport votes. I had a look at us battering Leverkusen 4-0. Their top two players on the day were Frimpong and Wirtz.
Aye, but they were still shite against us.
As F R David would say: Wirtz don't come easy to me. This is just a simple post that I've made for him on my own.
Am I alone in not caring how much he costs or his stats? I've seen him play footy and he looks like he can bring another dimension to an already good team.
As for pressure - imagine joining a team with Alisson, Virgil, Mo, Ryan, Alexis et al helping you out! I would imagine you'd be inspired to reach their standards rather than worrying about what punters think.
I'd give a lot for just one day as a pro footballer especially one with skills. It seems certain he's joining so I look forward to seeing what he can do.
