Just answer me this then, why are we delibrately trying to get bounced out of this competition as early as possible by fielding weakend teams in order to strenghthen our position by resting players for League games to try and qualify for the very same competition next season, how is this sense... Simply because BR is trying to qualify for Champions league as long as it is mathematically possible. Whether he will achieve this is another question, but he is giving it his best shot. Sense? No it's not sense and if you believe we can do it with a squad which is weaker than and worse than the one which finished 8th last season you are quite dillusional. If you look at peoples posts on here even the most optimistic fan is saying we have no chance of 4th place, so why be ridiculous and start with all this mathamatical nonesense, Q.P.R. can still win the League if thats the case according to you and you way of thinking. I will ask the question again and please will somebody answer it and make some sense. Why are we trying to get knocked out of a competition as early as we can in order to rest players to help our chances to qualify for it again next season by finishing between 5th and 7th via our league place, we already have now what our goal is next season.

Finishing 4th would be a miracle in my books, but, when I see BR's choices it seems to me that it makes sense to him. No need to tell me that I am dillusional because I can't see us finishing above 8th, you can call BR dillusional if you want.

No need to tell me that I am dillusional because I can't see us finishing above 8th, you can call BR dillusional if you want. the only teams which should really prioritise the league ahead of Cup games are teams fighting for the Championship or teams heading for the Championship, the Clubs in the middlish of the League should always prioritise the Cups because it makes no real difference where they are League wise, maybe a couple of extra quid at the most but thats about it. If you look at last season we finished 8th what real difference would it of made in the grand scale of things if we had finished 2 or 3 places lower down the league table, none whatsoever maybe a bit of pride would of been lost but thats about it.

Am I missing something? depends what you call mid table stanley, I would say anything between say 6th and about 12th or 14th is pretty middlish myself, much of muchness between the teams, you have the big Clubs in the top four with Spurs behind them and then you have the 5 or 6 Clubs fighting out the relegation, the rest I would call middle of the road Clubs. I think ourselves, Newcastle, Everton, Stoke, West Brom and Fulham you could throw a blanket over us all as there is nothing between us really over the season, we would probably beat those Clubs at home mostly and they would probably beat us away.

The only real disappointment today was Rogers once again saying we were outstanding. I only managed to catch the second half but it could have been 3 - 0 quite easily as they were picking us off on the break. 'Outstanding' because of using our 2nd team maybe. But NO WHERE NEAR OUTSTANDING FOR LIVERPOOL FC.
Away from Europe, how many games have we actually won in 2012?

Have you seen where we are in the league Joe? We're not far from relegation places that's why we're not prioritising cups at the moment. How hard is it to understand FFS?!

How hard is it to understand FFS?! to be honest I am not worried about the League table regarding relegation for the simple reason there are Clubs in the League who are alot worse than us just like there are Clubs who are alot better than us. I think we are bang on target for where I thought we would finish before the start of the season which is anywhere between 7th and 10th, this is why I think we should of prioritised the Cups more as this is our only realistic route for a bit of glory, if we dont try to win them or dont take them serious like what we are doing now fielding weakend teams then we will just be another Fulham, Newcastle, Everton or West Brom, our winning a trophy last season is the only reason we are a bit different from these clubs.

well yes maybe not good enough , once again played well enough but how can he keep putting trust in these players like downing , henderson and joe cole and even carragher is beyond me , in the uefa cup seemed to have got away with with young boys beating udinese twice but i dont know why these players get game time .
