KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Amazing how we have changed under BR

Stan there is far better food and prices outside the ground anyway. I have never understood why anyone would want to drink a semi cold beer in a plastic glass at a higher price, when just a 100mtrs away you can have a real glass and near perfect pint for 50% less.
The food is the same, average food at inflated prices. Why doesn't the club up the quality to something really good so therefore offering something different to the chippies etc.People would then pay the extra

HI CP1972 I buy stuff from the park at the rear of the anny road. But once you are in the ground occassionally you want something I don't see why it should be such an ordeal I do understand the high price but don't understand why they should serve food you would not feed to a wild rat.

Maybe it's "specialities" for the away supporters only?

and scum get buy one dozen free as well?? ...thats a good perspective

Yep exactly, that should sort 'em out fast, properly and once & for all!

amen

Agree 100% Stan. There are so many things he has torn up and that will be a positive for the team as a collective.

A few things I think are clear:

He's the boss.

Only 100% is enough. Anyone shirking will be benched or fired out.

Those who are up for the cause but maybe slightly lacking will be given a chance to prove themselves where possible. E.g. This LB angle with Downing.

He wants quality in every position and a backup to boot. As if every player was a first serve in Tennis. Second serves are not in the play book.

He is unbelievably positive which is infectious. When a team starts to succeed and belief in doing it his way increases they will walk through walls for the guy.

I'm now starting to understand the importance of the huge emphasis he places in the middle. His teams will dictate and control from the centre similar to Raffa. With the pace we are playing you cannot expect just Allen to do it week in week out. The guy would be finished inside 2 seasons and why the Real Madrid lad was so important

Maybe jumping the gun, but he has itemised the playing staff like an accountant. Be amazed if the dead wood wasn't gone by close of window and another couple of astute buys were not here for the weekend.

We played the champions and were better than them for most of the game. That is only the second EPL game the players have had together.

Never mind the negative stuff we are on the way up gentleman I can feel it in the force.

Patience belief and confidence we are on our way back!

Rafa??? Again + Are you saying that it's only Joe Allen who had a good performance on Sunday? Sorry to disagree with you. I can only hope that it does not END as it did with Rafa who cannot even get a job these days after the fiasco at Inter and his last couple of seasons with us

Unless you can buy the league like city have done you will not be succesful unless you stick with your manager. Obviously Hodgson was an exception to this rule because his tactics and standards were not suited to a club like liverpool. FSG then made a good decision to bring KK in to steady the ship but after last season it was again obvious that they needed to make a change. KK will always be a liverpool legend and will always be highly respected for his acheivements but in todays game if you want to compete at CL level you must have a manager who is tactically aware and I am afraid KK is not that. KK style of management is based on motivation and telling the players to go out and express themselves which only gets you so far. Whereas BR will be giving every single player individual instructions based on the tactics he wants to employ each game. I was sceptical at first but after seeing BR to date I have been very impressed and I believe he has the right approach and standards to take liverpool back into the top 4, maybe not this season but probably next season. He has his methods and approach totally figured out, his work in the transfer window has been very good. He is a very clever manager. I hope he gets atleast 2 years before he is judged. I honestly believe that if he is given time he can build something special and the fact he is so young is a massive bonus. Its really refreshing to see a club like liverpool investing in someone like BR who has come up through the ranks in english football although hi approach is very european, FSG are thinking long term progression here, rather than an old experienced european coach who is only going to give you 2-3 years and then move on. Im really looking forward to the future.

By he way Rafa was one of the greatest liverpool managers ever. Look at all the records the team broke when he was in charge, its an unbelievable record.

No, that's what your saying. There were great performances all over the field. The reference was tactically to the middle of the park. Anyone who knows anything about the game wouldn't need it spelling out or take irrelevant swipes at Raffa's job situation now.
