This is my 35th year of supporting Liverpool and share your concern mightyreds, as I've heard the "Don't worry it's only a pre-season friendly/first competitive match/second competitive match/unimportant game/relatively meaningless game/let's wait until the real action starts" comments for over a decade. That display (by a lineup not far from our first choice) was utterly shambolic.

For some reason, I felt strangely optimistic after the Tottenham friendly, but a fortuitous 1-0 win against sub-minnows puts things back into perspective.

How come last seasons abject failures didn't even try hard to impress the new manager? Absolute poo.

Seems like we were outplayed and should have had two or three go past our keeper! Early days yes but improvement needed and it will take time under a new manager. Patience may be required but the players that underperformed last season certainly need to improve because so far they haven't!

Damn it, that's what actually happened. I fell asleep while watching the game against Gomel. Our build up play is agonizingly boring and have zero creativity everywhere on the pitch. We're like a poor man-barca.

I won't be surprised if we we end up losing more games and having more 0-0 draws at anfield this season if that's the way our play is going to end up.

If that's the case, I'd rather have KK back to get the team hitting the bar/post. At least we'll have more shots on goal.
You banged your head on the floor mighty, it's not knee jerk it's brain jerk

Look this is not knee jerk and I don't have anything against BR. I hope he'll do well. But the way things are going, it's not going to work in the league. I'd love to be proven wrong.
