Not by us it doesn't.

Not sure I agree with that.

Just how ? I have known fellow workmates died. My boss died of a heart attack 18 months ago. We spent a day talking about it, an afternoon off for his funeral and a good piss up.
I can honestly say it didnt affect our work apart from the week after it happen.
Why would a football team be any different to any other work place ?

Because this means more…

Its known as "Schadenfreude"( delighting in the misfortune of others ).

Have the Dippers bid £100m for him yet ?

Edit can we use this excuse for our Portuguese players ?

I think it's disgusting that their excuse for losing is the death of a player. However, players do spend a lot time together during the season. They're also pretty young guys who probably don't have much experience of death amongst their peers. I also think it's pretty typical of that club to use a tragedy as an excuse.

Never thought about his Portuguese teammate's but I would think it's the same for them but they have just got on with life.

Unless it's a tragedy their fans caused of course.

I see the narrative around Jota is gathering pace. Not a single bit of discussion about their current form is without a statement about Jota. I'm pretty sure at least a few pundits and journalists think it's bollocks. There is now a new one (obviously saying this now due to some comments by other fans) that their early season form was also pump but glossed over by late goals and lucky wins.

Absolutely fucking pathetic and I'm not sure any other club would get away with it.

So if they win today, they’re over it?

Guess so. Strange how it was never mentioned when they were winning names early in the season.

I'm sure they were deeply saddened by it but I don't see what his death has got to do with the fact their best players legs are going. I also don't see what it's got to do with the fact their new signings are flops and they probably barely knew the man.

Disgraceful and disrespectful from the media to drag his name into it.

Also not to sound callous but people lose close ones all the time and still get on with their jobs to a good standard.

Awful what happened to him but his death has nothing to do with Liverpool being shite.

Let's be real though, it his name was gonna get dragged into things. If they won the league this season, then they'd benl hyped up as the big brave Liverpool winning it for him and his death being an inspiration. Or If they're shite like now, they're in mourning.

Let him rest in peace.

In fairness the red media are driving the case for Jota so well that I have had to go down quite a bit to refresh my memory that Jota was on the list of surplus to requirements in the weeks before his passing.
It's all there saying he was past his best, injury problems taking it's toll, best to cash in etc.
Embarrassing themselves at every opportunity.
