@ Spurs-wembley used to be a familar place when we went their regulkarly to claim a cup, be crowned champions of europe, merseypride finals and charity shields galore!
both teams should be "up for it" spurs having a credible 1-1 @ madrid and the REDdS recording a record 0-7 @ Maribor...
*of course Rafas RedS hold the highest score achieved when we hammered Besiktas 8-0 (i was happy to be there that night!) I dont go to games anymore, costs and giving profit to USAcorp prohibts me on pragmatic and ethical grounds..
If all Fit, I would select; Mign, Gomez , Matip , Dejan , Milly (his performance jusifies) Hendo, Wijn, Can, Phil, Firm & Salah,, Studge on 60 mins ....
from groups/eured.supporters
Rotating goalies or CBs is risky, dont do it! need to develop understanding..Mignolet should play every league & European fixture .. I would keep deserving Milly in by placing him instead of MoreNO , and Gomez on Right with Hendo in front of back 4 .. big game to win ... will be difficult but... http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/…/tottenham-v-liverpool-four…(pearce is a wan**r! )
our Rafa 1 their "woy" 0
If Rafa had been backed by the boardroom and fickle fan nies Lfc would have won the title in the last decade, maybe a couple of times. IMO!
apart from being a blatant book selling article... I will give you MY "alternative perspective"
from 64 to 84 ,,,LIVERPOOL "wagged the dog" Our Footy, our Music, our belief, (Shanks/Lennon spirit) & our fashion..however...
Liverpool Fc in the 80s , became also a reflection of UK / world society , commercial, violent & greedy

no coincidence that both left the planet during this decade..

the double disaster of Heysell & Hillsborouh dealt us a body blow which we have never really recovered from..

caused by apathy , ignorant policies (also murdered the 96) and an obvious accumulation of new fans ,
keen to follow Lfc success from oher areas of UK & to travel europe, with us,

the grounding of "the me me me society"... no surprise, forming fickle fans Lfc produced today..
you got the society and the football club you deserve.. allowing them to betray true supporters & sack Rafa & Kenny..
whilst employing he wors ever man in a Lfc managers seat; Woy ! then media man Brendan & te new superchared german version'
Kloppites Juergen, ( "Der basteln mann") I like hm,,
however he comes nowhere close to the unappreciaed Rafa (who had a plan for Lfc cut short by the c&nts inside & ouside Lfc)

and I empathize wih true Reds who really suppor the team, from anywhere..
however , as can be seen on social media, is not only "wools & tourists" who utter crap now..
even Carra is a defeatist afer 7 league games!!!!

add the many different distractions open to kids (and their fahers) video games , netflix and other sports easier to access..
so many "Lfc experts" who play a video game who think they "know football"... of course many REDS prefer to suppor AFC Liverpool,
as Anfield becomes quieter , more commercial and more sterile..

I was also @ the '77 FA cup final & although was sad losing , hecoming european champions a few days later,
for he firs time gave me such joy it wasnt unil 20 years later that "failure" (treble) it really "bothered me"

I only react out of original pride and the distaste of fergie's bully-style of "management " (dictatorship) gave me,
however, recently, I sat afer midnight in a bratislava hotel with a mature Man U supporter ....
and we had a lot in common,,, lamenting the current state of our relative clubs (despite their "success")...

I have always seen our rivals as transient... during my time; Arsenal (were the rich enemies early days) Leeds, (Ipswich & later QPR were always
temp annoyance) Everton were a rival to respect ..I shared travel to finals wih blues , (and their social awareness)
then , for me, Madrid, Bayern, & less so, Barca, became "rivals" as we were a European force,,,(again with Rafa, until he left)

is a reflection of the way the Lfc "propaganda" machine has managing "expectations" that media are surprised when Lfc "reject" an offer
for Phil from barca... for me it would ALWAYS be logical no avoid sales to "rivals" ,...
carra seems to want to convince me that Lfc fans must accept the "arse-nal" policy (unless its his way of anti yan ker warnings)
"4th & a cup" to be thankful for?? (whilst Henry & co become richer by the hour) Klopp is their man, after all!

despite Maureen, the Mancs are no big deal... citeh , ok, but things happen and money/oil will not always bring success
(whatever happened to UEFA financial fair play controls ha ha ha)
the last time I acknowledged Man U was when they had a team & manager worthy of it; Busby leading Best (was rea) Law & Charlton
... even so..applauded their "67/68 success..
i was too young to know better...

ReplyDeleteI am not clamouring for Rafas return, the USA boardroom is incompatible with the strategies and policies that Benitez wanted to implement at Lfc, however the decision making (or lack ) of JK is a bigger worry to me than individual players or squad value, the squad has enough talent, but, and JK MUST accept much of the blame, is imbalance...
ReplyDeleteat
Rafa brought under-rated Lucas, JK let him go.. exactly the player who sits in front of the defence, and helped secure some valuable results towards the end of last season... he is also capable of CB (in such a game situ as sunday) and has one factor that NO one at Lfc has, he organises.
making the change on 30 mins was typical Klopp "gung ho" when Lfc were being hammered by AC Milan first half , Rafa replaced an injured forward with a midfielder and at half-time brought on a DM (Hamman) to stop the rot, JKs "full throttle" methods , when working look great and can batter even the best , however, Rafas Reds were , for me, always look the liklier to be able to do both, (blow away teams; e.g.4-0 v Real, ) AND steal a win (@ Inter) Late subs for me show a laxk od tactical awareness.. almost criminal to introduce Studge on 76 mins and Grujic on 82 , when 4-1 down...
Lovren is the deserving scapegoat, however, the whole defence, inc Mignolet coming out for a 40/60 ball when Lfc defenders were "around", Matip, for the 3rd, its his job too , to make the right decision, liek heading it back over the goalline, as an option? , Mignolet for the 4th, and despite his "improvement" Lfc always play "3 at the back" when MoreNO is selected, he is no defender, and when I Milly on the team sheet , hoped JK might play him on left side of defence and let Alberto storm up the left to his hearts content without the space, that Dejan didn't defend for the 2nd goal..
it took JK most of the game to take off Can, a passenger.. for me the obvious would have been at half time to move Gomez inside for Lovren and Trent in on the right, (and the above mentioned switch Milly & MoreNO) that then steadies the defence (hopefully) and early 2nd half Ox or Grujic for can and Studge or Solanke for Firminho, who seemed jaded..
having said all of the above the root cause is USA ownership and a decade of non footballing management and lack of strategy.. JK is a coach, not a "Manager" like Rafa.. he at least knows that rotating defence inhibits understanding at the back, aproblem JK seems still to struggle with , having heard his "we shall work on it this week in training" for too many time since his employment,..
my team V Huddersfield WARD; Trent, Gomez Matip, Milly; Hendo ; Grujic, Wijnaldum; Phil,
Solanke & Salah.... back to basics,...start again,,, there is still (message to defeatist fans!) 87 (?) EIGHTY-SEVEN points to play for...
