Plenty of other clubs produce illustrated match promos, but this project was less about the big name players and more about telling stories from the fans perspective.
However, if anyone can pull of a comeback, its Liverpool Football Club.This graphic focused on some of the previous big European nights that saw Liverpool claim victories in the toughest of knockout scenarios, including Gerrards winner v Olympiakos, Lovrens goal v Dortmund, McAllisters goal v Barcelona and the goals by Agger and Garcia in the big games vs Chelsea.The message was that if LFC have done it in the past, they can do it again!This piece was illustrated by Wiskie, from Indonesia with art direction by myself.In the build up to the final, we produced additional pieces of work that helped tell some of the stories that surrounded the game.
It has been erased from my memory) [2-0 Liverpool – Ed.] In my emotionally fragile state, fresh from watching Jordan Henderson lift the Premier League trophy last Wednesday, the images of the Belgian as the sole figure in the centre of the Anfield pitch staring at The Kop really filled my heart.Origi’s Liverpool career took off during the first few months of Klopp’s reign, but was just as quickly curtailed by the injury sustained at the hands of Ramiro Funes Mori during the 4-0 derby win over The Blues back in 2016.How fitting then that his troubled times, which even included an unsuccessful loan move to Wolfsburg, all but ended with a 97th-minute winner against the same opposition to keep The Reds on the coattails of City during a crucial Christmas period during last season’s title race.And of course we all know he didn’t stop there. The Brendan Rodgers years after 2013-14 were filled with recruitment that didn’t seem to match the ambitions of the club or the style of play the Northern Irishman had implemented so well during his first two years.We expected a clear out when the new manager came in as he tried to implement his style, but it started to become obvious he’d try and give everybody a chance.Yet of that squad he initially inherited there’s a chance only four will remain beyond this summer: Joe Gomez, Jordan Henderson, James Milner and Bobby Firmino.Nathaniel Clyne was the first confirmed departure of that crop, though his sneaking-out-the-backdoor exit underlines the fall from grace he had as a Liverpool player due in part to injuries and the increased importance placed on full backs as playmakers.Adam Lallana was the latest to be confirmed to be leaving Anfield this summer, and to be honest it hit me much harder than I ever anticipated. We were approached by the club to create a project that would be shared online with the aim of promoting the messages of the This Means More campaign in a way that would relate to their worldwide fan base. Of course we were here for longer than that, but they came along and embraced that journey we’d been on with us. We were there when they scored against Dortmund, Norwich and Everton.

We Are Liverpool: This Means More.
Your musical history is so rich that the Kop sings a chant for Mo Salah to James’ (from Manchester) “Sit Down” and another for Virgil van Dijk to the tune of “Dirty Old Town”, written by Salfordian Ewan MacColl.Your fans did what no other set of fans did at Old Trafford this season and remained quiet for almost 90 minutes. It means more. You shouldn’t be letting your famous Kop stand be sponsored by McDonald’s when you could have a classy sponsor like Mr Potato Head. And what about the tweet from the prominent liverpool.com account in August that said, “You think Barcelona, Real Madrid or Manchester United come to the other side of the continent and do this for the UEFA Super Cup? Like if one of the world’s best managers can’t come in and box it, will anybody ever be able to get us over the hump?At the time, that team felt so far away from being challengers.
There was a film too, a self-hagiography. Number of likes/RTs etc never tells the whole story, but it offers some context to how the work was received. Dan Leydon created this piece, inspired by the idea that being a Liverpool supporter is in our DNA, no matter what your gender, race, age or background is, we are all linked by that common thread. We were all in it together from October 2015 to July 2020. Adam, Dejan, Divock and the rest of them.
