Hope this doesn't distract the players for this game at the weekend. I can imagine some of these players will be looking over their shoulders come the summer
And rightly f*cking so! You can blame the manager and the director of football all you want, but many of the players simply haven't been good enough, and no doubt some of them will be shown the exit door.
It's not the players' fault that they aren't good enough. Underperformance isn't the issue for adam, carroll, henderson and downing - the problem is that they never have been anywhere near good enough for us. Paying a massive fee and giving them a contract at a big club isn't going to turn them into quality players, and that IS the management's fault.
You misunderstand me. I'm not claiming that Kenny and Damien are exempt from criticise - not at all, in fact they're the ones who the buck stops with. I'm saying that the players needn't be sitting back all pretty and happy thinking that the managers can just get sacked whilst they continue to play for a club that they're not good enough for.
By all means, players who perhaps aren't good enough for the club were signed by Dalglish/Comolli, and they'll pay because of that, but the players will be held accountable too, as they should be. It's not solely down to the fact of them being poor players - most of them have underperformed since signing, and have stepped their game
down rather than stepping up - that's undisputable, and that, in my opinion is the players' responsibility. Those players should feel a boot up their hole on the way out the exit door.
