KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Positive talk from players

Anyone noticed how the players are coming out and saying what a positive place it is now and how Kenny has made a difference already. The vibe seems so much more positive than it did in the last 12 months.

I'm not saying it's right by the players for their attitudes to change overnight because they are professional who should put in their best regardless of who is in charge but at least the recent changes are having a positive effect on the players and the club.

In saying that, it's the results that count at the end first and foremost but if players can see the improvement of the structure around them, then in turn should reflect on positivity on the pitch and results.

Long may it continue.....

the players have started enjoying training, this will start showing on the pitch and the players have started playing 5 a side games alot, in training.

and KD is more of a friend to these players, than the manager, most of the time.

Plus players want to play for a manager that has been a great player and been successful as a manager b4 and they want to play for a winner.

Totally agree but at least they are coming out with a bit of fire in the belly and also speaking a lot more positively in the press.

Have to agree with rafa, we need results more then anything, but if they keep improving their play like they did against everton then surely we will get more results.

Too bad Gerrard is out, wouldve love to see hw his game and attitude has changed.

Only one more game until he is back and I'm sure he will be up for it when he does return. The thing is it isn't just Gerrard...Torres and Reina have also come in a positive way where as before Kenny was appointed they hardly said a word.

Please dont be taken in by all this, What it shows is that we have a cowardly bunch of players who decided they did'nt like Hodgson that much so they never really tried and now Dalglish is in they all want to do well for him because he's there mate. I cant believe people on here are happy with a bunch of players who you cant trust or rely on and have pulled the wool over fans eyes all seasons with incompetent performances just because they were not happy with the previous manager. No wonder the Club is in a mess with a manager, players and fans who all think thgis is acceptable...

Not saying it is acceptable and as I've said many a times in previous posts that the players are supposed to be professional footballers who should play the game and give their all regardless of who the manager is.

All I'm saying is that at least there is positivity coming from the players for whatever reason and thats feeds through the club from the top and generally filters onto the pitch. At the end of the day we haven't had a win yet and, IMO, we have played better football, but it's wins on the board that managers, players and the club as a whole is judged on.

im going to ask you a totally reasonable question. i dont know if you work or how old you are so just think about what im asking you.........


forget how much the players earn and whether you, me, or anyone else thinks they should just perform at full throttle every time. that would only happen in a perfect world. that world don't exist.... so here's my question. if you worked for a guy who you have no respect for or he shows you very little respect. he might perhaps openly call you lazy or useless... would you try your absolute hardest for that guy when he needed it most?..... i know what i'd do and have done in the past. it's also what i'd expect from any self respecting man to do too..... just to make it clear to you... i'd turn up do what need to and no more. not slog my guts out for a guy i couldn't stand..........THATS WHATS CALLED LOSING THE DRESSING ROOM...


oh and before you start with a barrage of repetitive answers. there isn't a football team in history won anything with a manager who the players don't respect....

Reclaim, its just like in a work place where you have a boss who is a complete and utter a hole, you lose your morale to work for him/her dont you, this is similar to footballers.They are people too you know.
