i have to say i find him ever so slightly patronising. in his way he talks to the players (courtesy of the five minutes of "this is liverpool" atrocity i watched) and also to the fans. kind of talks to people like he is talking to a class room. it probably works wit hthe younger players in the squad but its not realistic to talk to everyone that way.
Luis Garcia, He drinks sangria
He came from Barca, to bring us Joy
He's five foot seven, he's football heaven
please don't take my Luis away.

here is a bit of honest, any fan who thought liverpool would not struggle early on is an idiot. we must be realistic. the good times will come back  We were struggling when we finished 8th. Why would we need to struggle even more and go backwards unless the new guy is even more incompetent?? Why have other managers not struggled at their new clubs? let me guess, their new managers aren't implementing a new 'philosophy'?!

I do feel that Gerrard does not fit the system, he is not at his best, either the system doesn't suit his strength or he is just getting old. Do you think he should be sold and replaced then? I just have a feeling that if he gets a good opportunity, he would leave, doesn't look motivated.

don't think we should sack BR, but I do feel he is responsible for some of our current problems:
- he spend his budget on £15million Allen and £10 million Borini. A midfielder was not an urgent requirement, and Borini did not have the immediate impact one would expect from a £10m player.
- he cast aside Carroll from the moment he came in. He didn't even attemt to coach him. AC had gone some way to rebuilding his confidence and reputation with his perfromances in the cup semi and final as well as for England. Even if BR didn't like him, he should've been clever about it. Talked him up, played him etc.
- BR let AC go without a replacement in the bag. AC has qualities which may not be preferred by BR, but nonetheless they are waulities we can do with in times of need ... like right now. He can shoot from distance, provide an aerial threat, help in defence.
- Downing is an England player with some good technical ability. Why has BR not been able to integrate him?
We can't complain that we don't have the players for the chosen system. No team can expect to write off the whole squad on that basis and spend 2-3 years getting the manager the team he wants. The manager should be getting the best out of the players at his disposal in the short term, and gradually moulding the squad to suit his preferences over a period of time.

+ 1 good post MightyLfc, He needed to work with what he had to try and gain a foothold then steadily work his own magic into the team as you say. Remember AVB?
