Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Kei te hiahia a Liverpool ki te korero ki a Jon Flanagan mo tetahi kirimana hou i te mutunga o te waa me te kirimana o te kaitautoko ka mutu i tenei raumati. He mea whakamiharo te whutupaoro i Anfield i te tau kua hipa i te wa i tata ai a Liverpool ki te wikitoria i to raatau taitara tuatahi mai i te 1990. He tino pai te ahua o Flanagan, a tata tonu ia ki te whakauru i a ia ki te kapa o Ingarangi mo te Ipu o te Ao. I whakaingoatia ia ki runga i te raarangi tatari a Roy Hodgson a i kitea e te nuinga hei heke mai mo te karapu me te whenua i te taha matau. Ka kōrero a Jon Flanagan ki a Liverpool mō tētahi kirimana hou i te raumati. E hiahia ana te kaiwhakahaere o Liverpool a Brendan Rodgers kia noho tonu a Flanagan ki Liverpool. Engari ko te 22-tau te pakeke kua riro hei tangata kua warewarehia me te whara o te turi e pupuri ana ia i te mahi i te wa katoa i te mea kua pau tana kirimana. Ko te whara, i mau tonu i mua noa o te timatanga o te wa, kaore i whakaarohia he kino i taua wa engari kaore a Flanagan i purei i tetahi meneti o te whutupaoro tuatahi i roto i nga marama 11. Kua hoki mai ia ki te whakangungu inaianei mo etahi wa inaianei engari e whakaarohia ana he tawhiti atu i te mea kua rite mo te mahi a te roopu tuatahi - ahakoa i purei ia i nga meneti 31 o te Steven Gerrard vs Jamie Carragher All-Star i Anfield. I whara a Flanagan i te turi, ā, kua riro ia hei tangata kua warewaretia i tēnei tau. I tino miharo a Flanagan i te tau whakamutunga i kaha ai ia ki te whakauru ki te kapa Ingarangi. Ko te kaiwhakahaere o Liverpool a Brendan Rodgers he kaiwhaiwhai nui mo te Liverpudlian, he mema rongonui o te kapa, kua tu ki nga pukapuka o te karapu mai i te 11 o ona tau. A, i te wehenga atu o Gerrard i tēnei raumati, e kore a Liverpool e pai ki te tuku i tētahi atu tama o te rohe kia haere, otirā i te wehenga atu o Glen Johnson e tūmanakohia ana, e waiho ana i tētahi āputa hei whakakī i te taha o muri. E whakapono ana ngā taha e rua ka taea te whakatutukitanga i tētahi whakaaetanga, ā, ka taea e te kaitākaro te whakahoki i tana mahi i muri i te tau ki te wareware. I kii a Rodgers i nga ra tata nei: 'Ko te tumanako ka whakatauhia te kirimana a Flano. Kei te mahi ia ki te hoki ki te hauora, ā, ina puta, e whakapono ana ahau ka whakatauhia te kirimana. He wāhanga nui ia o te heke mai i konei.'
Ka pau te kirimana a Jon Flanagan i te raumati. Kua kore a Flanagan e mahi i te tau katoa nā te whara i te turi. E hiahia ana a Brendan Rodgers kia noho tonu a Flanagan ki Liverpool.
