Red Devils’ Icon Reminded of Anfield Disaster…
Liverpool fans have dusted off their sense of humor again, and this time it’s Manchester United legend Gary Neville feeling the heat. Two years after the infamous 7-0 Anfield headliner, the Kopites are having their laugh, labeling Neville’s prediction as “the worst piece of punditry” ever. Yes, it’s been two glorious years since Mohamed Salah and his partners in crime, Cody Gakpo and Darwin Nunez, turned Anfield into a Red Devil’s horror show, with Roberto Firmino delivering the icing on the cake.
Before kickoff, Neville, seemingly more relaxed than a cat in a sunbeam, had assured Sky Sports viewers of a Manchester United triumph. His bold confidence boomeranged spectacularly, much to the internet’s delight. One fan quipped, “Happy anniversary!” adding it to the hall of fame of football blunders. Another had a giggle suggesting it was like the Titanic captain saying, “It’s just a little iceberg.”
The scoreboard may have been wiped clean, but this memory has been flash-frozen in the fans’ minds, much like Klopp’s comment on the one-time-only spectacle. As Neville predicts a Liverpool Premier League triumph this time, he’s probably clinging to a lucky charm, hoping dĂ©jĂ vu doesn’t strike twice!
