... I am going to clarify my own view of our club and I will reluctantly set aside the route cause of our problems ..the "infestors" ............<I blame Henry & f.s.g. >
..... I am not a big "Carra fan" , like so many of our ex players who I loved when they wore the shirt, I wish they would go and play golf, because not one of them have become great managers, and only when you know management <not just footy> can one speak with experience ...so "exs" few have impressed me, BUT, whilst its a well paid job and can be entertaining, fans shoudnt absorb it as "gospel" ...
Here we go
... BRent... took over from Kenny , i couldnt be "objective" about Henrys puppet coach since that moment
...these are vital beliefs I have about our club .... that no one is bigger than the club, BUT .....sometimes certain men have MUCH more dignity and character than those employed to "run <ruin> it" ...Kenny is one!
Shanks was badly dealt with after his resignation,,,,the board were and are scared of "big MEN"
.......this man MADE LIVERP00L and for journos or fans to even mention Bob as a comparison is an insult, because Paisey didnt stand a chance of becoming a succesful manager of 3 European Champions Cup winning teams if Shanks hadnt taken the 2nd division Lfc and rebuilt the club, creating the "LIVERP00L WAY"....turning it into a global ICON.... in the last TWENTY years, through Moores, Parry, G & H , Henry & f .s.g. ..... the "Spirit of Shankly" ..has been eroded by commercial aims and their selfish interests..and the fans must take the blame too and I accuse their "union" who failed to "sell" the idea of supporter ownership ....
The CRIMINAL removal of Rafa by G & H and the ignorance of Henry by avoiding his being the obvious <unemployed> choice having had his ten year contract <and his plans > broken by the previous " owners" ...<the sham "owners" then and now, have few morals> Kenny was in the middle of a 3 year contract when Henry "sacked" our Kenny, a disgrace, the man is a saint for true supporters ,,on and off the field , as player, as manager.. <he won our only trophy in several years > and for the supporters and the people of LIVERP00L post hillsborough... himself having to watch that fool Hodgson take over the managers role... <and some "ex players" backed that stupidity too>
I feel our song should not be "Brenda NR dgers blah blah" ..but
"WE ALL DREAM of a TEAM of Stevie G s" ... it disgusts me when fan
nies question his selection <by a man who isnt worthy of the job! > Never mind that zizu and such claim he is the best,
"midfielder" in the world, for
me his greatness is so much about his effect on our team, Messi and Ronaldo can
look brilliant and spectacular, but they arent going to role up their sleeves, tackle back and take risks with their own reputation by
playing in whatever position that
a novice coach may ask..
Lucas
Lucas
has been in top form & shoud have been started at O.T . his experience and
his history of good performances there
make him the first choice as holding MF ..sunday Al len F**cked up for their
first goal , as did Lala <so dont
blame Coutinho, Carra!>
Defence must be solid, dont keep changing it...Champions are bulit on sound defences, it was a grave error to let Pepe go, as I stated at the time, for me Mign. was never a good enough part of the team, too naive to marshall the defence and no one can distribute like Reina ...Brad may not be spectacular, but I feel he is more a solid choice,.,,bring back Pepe, if he will come...
Glen is better at LB , Moreno is still raw for this defence, too many goals against have come from his flank...having discarded our best <dAGGER, who could have been used better> Skrtel is an automatic choice, as none of the f.s.g. signings Toure , Sahko nor Lovren are safe...Kelly was discarded, and he could have been the CB answer, but BR never even tested HIM... Manqu. seems to be ok, on the right,,,but I wasnt against the idea of Hendo as wing back..on sunday, btw , with 3 at the back.. we were much more effective with the ball early on.. before Balo!
 |
| OUR man, happy birthday d AGGER! |
..not Joe & not Balo
Its blatant that without the creativity that Suarez brought us we need invention and energy , Phil is one of the few inventive players available ,<and maybe Carra could mention, not only the mancs offside 2nd goal but that THREE yellow cards were shown to their players for fouls on him, he suffers from the lack of target man Studge , BR wrongly selects Balo who brings little to the team, and whilst Lambert tries, the difference is immense,
Marko shoud have started sunday instead of La la but Balo should NoT have come on for La
la, or anyone, as he is too selfish and gives little to the team, and this club
needs a "unit".
Raheem
Impressed with the lad, and its "tragic" that we dont have him, Luis & Studge together, because I would bet on them scoring more goals than any ther team in europe.., despite missing clear chances that could have changed the game in our favour, he made many of them by his movement, pace and abilities..but should not be a lone striker, IF he draws central defenders to the wings, and we get midfielders into the box, he <and the wing backs> can supply more chances, his youth showed at oT , a mature Studge may have taken those chances, but...

http://www.90min.com/posts/1658376-brendan-rodgers-reveals-simon-mignolet-dropped-indefinitely?a_aid=35503 ............................James Pearce:
"Rodgers never wanted to sign Balotelli." http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/james-pearces-verdict-chastening-defeat-8287692 .............Liverpool Echo's James
Pearce has come out to suggest that the
Transfer Committee (TC) could have made BR's work difficult at Anfield. The
sale of senior players on big wages and the signings that BR made this season
were not totally his choice, but the committee's. Many managers refused to work
under a sporting director when they were interviewed by FSG for the job before
BR came in. FSG later set up this committee that is identical, or perhaps
wields more power than a sporting director, whilst giving the idea that the
manager is totally in charge. Whatever decision the manager makes with regards
to signings and contracts, will be voted by 5 people in the committee. Only in
the case of a majority vote, BR can sign the players he wants. Otherwise he has
to improvise with the players chosen by the TC.
Pearce says BR NEVER wanted to sign Balotelli but was forced to settle for him. In other words, it was the TC that ultimately failed to replace Suarez despite getting big money by selling him. Pearce says BR also made it clear that he wanted Michel Vorm and that signing a GK is a priority. But he says the transfer committee refused to pay his value despite only spending over 30mil in net spending this summer. This also had a significant impact on Mignolet's form as LFC didn't try to provide competition for the Belgian. Pearce says paying top bucks for Lovren made perfect sense at that point, as he was not one for the future, but was coming in as a top centre back, based on his form with the Saints and his Premier League experience. He was bought to hit the ground running. However he's had a major dip in form which is disappointing says Pearce. Similar tone has been voiced by Mike Bernard, a former employee of FSG,

who
said BR failing to see eye-to-eye with some of the TC members and their
signings, is getting a little unsavoury. Mike noted that BR wanted Eriksen and
Bony but was overruled. This also goes back to previous failures to show the
money and securing players early when they had interest to move to LFC. Plenty
of dragging negotiations and low-balling saw the failure of securing targets
such as Willian, Salah, Mikhtaryan, Konoplyanka and more. Diego Costa was
identified by BR as a transfer target when Costa was playing as a wing-forward,
long
before he became a star in that out-and-out striker position and caught the
whole world's attention. TC thought his release clause of 20mil back then was
too much. The rest is history. While we drag our feet on targets, other clubs
come into the picture, showed the money and swooped them as we watch
helplessly. Even for Sanchez, Phil Thompson declared during the world cup that
we had Sanchez in the bag. However too much negotiations into details and
conditions in payment method allowed
Arsenal to sneak in and turn his and his wife's head.<cut>

Youth Cup win ... ......Liverpool U18s
got their 2014-15 FA Youth Cup campaign off to an impressive start as they hit Bradford City
with an early brace of goals to secure a 2-0 victory on Monday
night...Critchley's side made a stunning start to the encounter at Langtree
Park as Sergi Canos and Jerome Sinclair both hit the back of the net in the
first four minutes of play to earn the
home side a vital two-goal cushion..& could have had more goals in the game
- but the comfortable triumph means the young Reds can now look forward to a
home fixture against Derby County in the fourth round of the Youth Cup They dominated from the first kick of the match. Ryan Kent, Sheyi
Ojo, Canos and Sinclair dovetailed to devastating effect in front of Adam
Phillips, Jordan Rossiter and Pedro Chirivella, who were simply a joy to watch
in the middle of the park...Sinclair earned the opening goal after two minutes
by forcing Bradford's goalkeeper,
Elliott Barker, into an error and allowing Ojo to scoop possession. He was unselfish,
cutting a pass back into the path of Canos, who slid the ball into an unguarded
net........................>
There was barely time for the disorientated visitors to compose themselves. Rossiter was ruthless, taking back the ball. Chirivella assumed command to play in Ojo, who used the outside of his boot to steer Sinclair into the clear. With opposition defenders back-peddling furiously, Sinclair drove forward, completely composed. Injecting pace, he sped inside from the left and switched onto his right foot to arrow the ball home at the near post. Ojo thought he'd made it 3-0 shortly after when Rossiter sent a sensational first-time pass spiralling into a packed penalty area and the forward rose to power a header into the back of the net, but the referee ruled he was offside. Canos sped down the right and drove a cross into the middle. Sinclair managed to control, twist, turn and curl towards goal - all in one swift movement - but Rhys Jenkinson, who had been tied up in knots by the Liverpool man, applied an outstretched foot to send the ball wide..young Reds were purring. Everything Chirivella did was effortless and precise, everything Rossiter did was industrious and simplistic - and then there was Phillips, still just 16 years of age, who left the crossbar shuddering with a stunning 35-yard free-kick As Liverpool passed and probed and produced intricate link-up play,
Bradford mustered the odd opportunity. They were at their most dangerous when Sumali Cissa sent a low drive crashing towards Andrew Firth, but the Reds stopper smothered the ball capably. The home side's first chance after the interval was fashioned by Phillips, who hit a superb 40-yard ball through the Bradford ranks and the recipient, Ojo, shot straight at the onrushing Barker. The ball rebounded out into the path of Canos, whose volleyed drive was collected by the 'keeper. In the 64th minute, Critchley opted for a double substitution, bringing Harry Wilson in to replace Kent and Joe Lewis on for Ojo, pushing Phillips into the No.10 role behind Sinclair as Liverpool attempted to retain the intensity they demonstrated early on.Credit must go to their visitors, though, who remained staunch and positive having endured Liverpool's sensational opening surge in the game and during the second half, Bradford looked capable of halving the deficit >However, the Reds remained in control in what was a much slower and quieter second half - and Critchley's charges were able to secure a passage to the fourth round of the competition.
Liverpool U18s: Firth, Polgar, Whelan, Brewitt, Rossiter, Phillips (Ejaria), Canos, Chirivella, Sinclair, Kent (Wilson), Ojo (Lewis). Unused substitutes: Wheeler, Travis.
