I’d contend that when you leave any football club these are the precise emotions you would want to evoke.
There are fringe lunacies, of course, because football fans are still humans with all their foibles and oddnesses, but in the main the reaction from Reds appears to land again and again in the same places.
He’s telling Liverpool fans that it’s going to be okay.
Not necessarily better players, but still really good ones.
