86 points?? Wow! Who was the manager then and is he available???


Unfortunately not - he's currently managing a team in the final of the World Club Championship, luckily we sacked him after he had one bad season due to the club being nearly bankrupt. It's ok though we've appointed someone who has achieved nothing, is taking us backwards and we're gunna stick with him all the way to the another kind of Championship...

I'd really like to know what it takes for a footballer to be sacked on the grounds of capability. They have the best of all worlds - pay, prestige, short working(?!) week, conditions, bonuses etc. Then, if they consistently fail, another club signs them up usually with a wage rise and their former manager takes the flak?

Unfortunately, management at LFC has been equally culpable for years. Brendan seems to be a soft touch and Kenny Dalglish made the most imbecilic decisions in the clubs history to spend £75m on Downing, Henderson and Carroll. It's about time one of these "professionals" who receive salaries many times that of a barrister, stockbroker, brain surgeon etc are sued for incompetence.

Look next season at this point if we are not flying high then there will be not many excuses left.

I think we are better than when Roy was managing us after the same number of games, isn't it?

We need more quality in both defense and attack and the reality is we are not competing on the transfer market, we've bought one true quality player in the last five years (Suarez) but we let some quality players go without ever trying to replace them with similar quality. The truth is we are operating on a wing and a prayer, but the reality is; that approach just wont work in a competitive market place.
We haven't replaced like with like, instead we have gone for the poor mans options and overpaid for them all, without exception, when you do that there's only one way you are going to go. FSG will have to change their silly policy of buying young unproven players in a league as competitive as the PL, that approach will just get us hammered on any day an opponent hits any kind of form and we have just had a hard lesson to that effect.
We are incompetent in the final third and we're porous at the back, People are talking about 25 - 30m In my considered opinion 120m would be closer to the mark, particularly with the style BR and FSG want to play. If FSG are unable or unwilling to make the necessary investment we should encourage them to move on. Failure to properly invest = failure to compete = failure to progress = failure!

And the truth shall set you free.

On the up side Downing's bin told he can leave LFC. Hopefully Gerrard, Allen, Sterling, Cole etc will be told the same after today. I haven't been this [oops] off at a loss in a long, long time. Win today and we go 1 point behind nEverton, but instead we go behind Norwich. Thanks for ruining my birthday weekend lfc.
