There isn't a problem with ex players giving their opinions. It's just that most of the time, their opinions are bollocks.
Theres an element of chip on shoulders with some. Remember Paul scholes? Binned off by van gaal and has gone out of his way to have dig after dig at anything. The only reason he can is cos utd give excuses LFc fans should remember ronnie whelan, there was a good period there where the **** couldn't wait to have a dig after dig. It really depends on what perceived slight they have. hamann clearly has been cut off by the new german influence at anfield and is having as many digs as he can. All you do is go...ok theres you must be honest and then theres you are having digs. those who stick the boot in should be just considered as having lost credibility and be ingored. carragher has told the truth and that's fine. Hamann bringing up contracts and this and that has IMO lost credibility can can **** off back to newkie. I'm sure many a manc has thought **** you scoles too.
I think we'll rally sometime around late April and heroically snatch eighth place from Stoke. We'll buy Siggurdson in the summer and some German teenager, after being 'linked' with Gareth Bale and and some pension-seeker surplus to requirements at PSG. Warner will go on to say that if we don't buy more merchandise on match day at Anfield they'll have to raise ticket prices and downsize the Anfield Rd end to make way for 3D theme park 'experience' of Boston Red Sox. And Lucas will sign a contract extension.
This^ i really couldn't care less what they say & tbh i only normally know because people on here quote them. On the occasions i see / read the interviews i just view them as having no more insight than half of us apart from the occasional exception i.e. when they agree with me
Liverpool has become the myth of Sisyphus; we're doomed to forever push that boulder up the mountain, get close to the peak (or even actually make the summit, as in Istanbul) , and then watch it roll back down again to the foot of the hill. Repeat ad infinitum.
