Fucking hell Velverde sounds like a mouse (as does Suarez). Casemiro sounds like Philipino nurse

Why not? It purports to be a free world
Carlo Ancelotti makes Liverpool admission: “My dream was to manage Liverpool, but then I found myself at Everton and experienced their rivalry, and now I’m a true Everton fan.”

Carlo Ancelotti has recently made a surprising Liverpool admission that’s sure to catch fans off guard.
It’s not every day a rival coach opens up about his love for another club.
But that’s what happened when one of Europe’s most decorated managers admitted something Liverpool fans may not have seen coming.
It’s especially striking because this isn’t a manager with a vague link to the Reds—this is someone who once stood in their way in one of the most painful nights in the club’s history.
Carlo Ancelotti has managed in the Premier League.
Twice.
And Liverpool fans remember both stints, particularly his time at Everton.
His blue ties didn’t make him popular on Merseyside, at least not with the red half.
So for him to say what he said recently is a little unexpected, even if it now feels a bit too late.
But yes, he said it.
Speaking to Armando Ceroni on the ‘Larmandillo’ podcast, Ancelotti confessed, “My dream was to manage Liverpool, but then I found myself at Everton and experienced their rivalry, and now I’m a true Everton fan.”
It’s a bold admission.
He went on to praise the Merseyside football culture, saying, “I really liked the atmosphere, because there’s such a spectacular passion for the colours.”
“You also notice the ache that Liverpool fans have for so many years and still excel in the Premier League today.”
Interestingly, his return to Real Madrid in 2021 came about after he called the club directly.
He explained, “Actually, I called them. The year before, I’d called them to see if they had any players available for us, and Everton had signed James Rodriguez.”
“The following year, I heard they were looking for a manager, and when I spoke to them, I told them they had to get a good one.”
Ancelotti also touched on his history with Liverpool from his Milan days.
He said, “In the 2003 final, I sent three defenders to take penalties—Serginho, Kaladze, and Nesta—because I couldn’t find anyone else.”
“It’s also true that I had removed Pirlo and Rui Costa, but it wasn’t easy to find five penalty takers. I did find that in 2005, all good, except Dudek was there, and with today’s rules, all the penalties would have had to be retaken.”
He even added: “Dudek was not exactly on the line when the penalties were taken.”
Ancelotti has never managed Liverpool.
But for fans, his words are one of those ‘what if’ moments.
He was the main competition when Klopp got the gig. Like all of us (I imagine) I'm chuffed to monkeys with what Klopp did with and for this club but Ancelotti would also have done well here IMO, albeit in a very different way.

The best defensive attacking midfielder!
Yay!
Edit:
I mean second best.
Up there with the likes of Adrien Thomasson, Kevin Danois and Johann Lepenant
Someone needs to poke him in the eye
I’m definitely not changing my name to SlobbyIsBoss
Bring him home.
Stoke could really do with him
So could we, he'd probably be our most creative player.
Didn't think he always got a fair shake with us. Good luck to him.
Slot doesn't play Harvey, why would he play the Mini Hulk? I am sure he could goto Bournville. People like him are always welcome there.
What stood out to me was how Shaqiri's return to his boyhood club is going to help Basel land their first title since 16/17. 😍
So, let's get this straight. He's 2nd in pressures but miles back in regains. Including to Danny Welbeck, who also outscores him.
Marvellous.
A snip at £60m you say? Fuck me.
There's too much rewriting of history about Mignolet IMO, both here and elsewhere. He did well for us quite a lot of the time, wasn't always well served (to say the least) by the defence in front of him and has only ever spoken respectfully about the club.
Simon Mignolet YNWA.
