A Liverpool fan ‘burning with anger’
Ever since we lost the European Cup final I have lost all trust in our club’s ability to manifest magnificent victories; at least with this coach at the helm. I can write now but couldn’t for a long time because the pain after that unexpected loss cut so deep I nearly broke my right hand after hitting the floor clenched fist some minutes after the final whistle.

This is a reason for shame. The performance we put in Paris put our shirt to shame just like the performance at Old Trafford two weeks ago against a bottom Man Utd side.
