KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum I am fed up of LFC

There is no point talking about sliding downhill then either if the season hasn't finished. If we do finish lower than last seasons points total then BR will 99% be sacked and rightly so

Do you think we will finish lower than last season?

Did we hit that particular target? No

Am I in charge of Liverpool? Does it matter what target I set? Targets are set so you can gage your expectations. I can't remember exactly what we got over those 5 games but was it 9 points?

I think we'll finish very close in terms of points/position to last season. We won't be so far behind that it'll be a definite sacking and we won't be that far ahead that BR can be deemed a success. It'll be a an big fat inconclusive....meh. But £60m invested shouldn't get you 'meh'.

If we finish behind, he will and should be sacked

FSG are probably tapping up roberto martinez as we speak....(or mick mccarthy!)

Does this help anyone...

Tottenham
2007-08 11th on 46 points
2008-09 8th on 51 points
2009-10 4th on 70 points
2010-11 5th on 62 points
2011-12 4th on 69 points


Now for some rambling....

So we finished 8th on 52 points then decimated the squad and introduced a new way of playing.
We currently have 39 from 27, with 11 to go.

At the start of the season I said I would be content with 60 points. (or an average of 1.5 points a game which is actually 57)
Based on the figures I think anything less than 55 points means nothing except I over estimated where we are, although I would be very disappointed.

I personally believe we are pointing in the correct direction. I feel that we now have goals in us. We have lost a lot of points trough individual errors that could be cut out.
We have lots of young potential stars.
We have owners that have so far provided steady funds to the team.

Don't let people convince you that BR has changed the way that football is played. We have a squad of highly paid interntational athletes who have played a variety of formations/systems for their whole life. What is so revolutionary and unfamiliar to them about the current setup?

Being told not to hoof it all the time is NOT an excuse for a 12 month adaptation period.

I'm not sure about this so-called squad decimation either. Last night's starting line up had 10 of the players he inherited from dalglish. Please stop making excuses for BR.

CarheeX that is a stupid argument, get your coat!

You would think they could adjust to changes but it don't work that way now does it. The squad is not just about a first 11 either.

England on paper should win stuff but they don't. Is it cos they are not "international athletes who have played a variety of formations/systems for their whole life"?

Driving is something that becomes natural, almost sub-conscious. If you suddenly need to change the way you do it, you have to second guess yourself and this causes hesitation and delayed reactions. Over time and through consistency the style becomes second nature and natural. This is why some players struggle to adjust to new teams or leagues, or systems, or training methods, or, or , or


On another note, where has 60 million been spent? In my calculation its about 48 not including sales or wage reductions.

On players. You can deduct player sales if it makes you feel better, but it won't change how much has been 'spent'.

What makes you think that 'on paper', England should win things?? Strange comment to make.

Interesting comparison of driving and football. If I'm driving in another country, it does feel very odd being on the other side of the road and doing thinsg differently, but only for an hour or 2......
