Slaven Bilic watched a slice of history and 53 year old bogey well and truly buried at Anfield and said “I may have one glass of wine tonight!”
Slav – talking to www.whufc.com – said: “It is only three points but it is one of those games that become more than three points. It’s been 50-odd years and the fans who were lucky enough to be here will tell their kids that they were there for the Club.
“It’s going to be written in books and all that, but it’s also good for the players’ confidence and for everybody and we’re going to enjoy the night, to be fair.
“I don’t have to tell my kids about the win because they were watching the game in Croatia on TV! I might have one glass of red wine – there is always a glass for joy or sorrow, but tonight it will be the joyful one!”
“We didn’t nick it, we did it in style. They had their moments, but very few, because we were very mature and we did exactly what our plan was for 90 per cent of the time.
All credit to the players because you can have a plan, but it’s up to the players to do it on the pitch and they did it today.”
what a time to be alive – I’m enjoying Slavs pressers he’s cool & talks a lot of sense.
Well done to the lads it’s like a weight has been lifted & the future is bright with so many players back soon
COYI 🙂 🙂
Followed the game plan. Did the basics marked the opposition. Pressed when didn’t have the ball. Fast counter attack in numbers with the ball. There’s goals in this team with payers creativity. Was only a case of sorting out their defensive duties.
And your right Slav a proper day out, great fans and a empty Anfield at the end , 35 years of waiting for this and finally happened everyone of those players deserves respect and finally a manager with a brain! Now DS support him this could be our greatest era since 85 give him the players..
With that said :
1- What was SB talking about with Origi at the end of the match ? Is he a target for us ?
2- Who was SB all mad with (someone on the bench) before Cullen came on?
What a sad day for some no shouts for Slav out,
This man has given us 2 great days in 4 weeks,
No more talking about going back,
We have to perform at home now and I think at last the players believe,
Well done Slav,Slav,s mob,Dicksie and every member of the squad,just kept looking for Gerrard to come on and ruin our day,
Time for another beer
