KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum it all evens out.....

Getting Swansea to 11th in the league is an achievement in itself, never mind the fact that he did by outplaying teams with far better resources than his own

In his opinion we did fill our most important area which was central midfield where we went from gerrard, Lucas, Hendo, Adam, Aqua and Spearing and Shelvey to Gerrard, Lucas, Allen, Sahin, Shelvey, Hendo, Suso. Without knowing the exact ins and outs of transfer deadline day but going by the common concensus that he believed that he would get the striker he wanted once Carroll left, he was trying to fill that need although I doubt he'll make the mistake of letting a player go before replacing them too quickly.

He does not seem to be a manager phased by the pressure of the Liverpool job and is determined to do it his way and not tiptoe around senior players like Carra.

WBA was the 1st game of his tenure and a game where we didn't play too badly until the sending off. Arsenal was the only game so far this season where we were outplayed comprehensively.

I hope so, wouldn't like the need to change managers again, won't be good for LFC as this would put us backwards again.

Hodgson did even better with thin resources before coming to us? How can I have faith in BR, but, don't get me wrong, would love to eat my humble pie.

we'll never agree

I suppose faith is something you have or not. Anyway, let's agree to disagree. We'll know rather sooner than later now that the difficult start fixtures are gome.

I think that's a popular misconception. There is no reason to think that bringing in a new manager will set a club backwards, otherwise they wouldn't do it. Of course, managers will readily use the excuse that they are new and need time, but I'm not convinced. A good manager will improve things very quickly.

We're screwed then - don't we usually do better against the bigger clubs which are the 'tougher fixtures'? You're saying that things will now get worse because we've got a run of games against non-contenders....the type that we generally struggle against!!!!

Things can change with Tiki Taka, you never know.

I would rather lose the derbys and win against midtable teams, we were doing theopposite last season. If we can win the easy games then we will do far better as there are only a few high profile games.

Doomers? What are you talking about? I meant that with the new system things might change.
