KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Whose fault was it...

I think we've got to put things in perspective. we punched above our weight in the 70s & 80s, though it was a slightly more level playing field then. We weren't the richest club in the country but in those days footballing prowess still carried more weight. (remember, those were the days of 0,1 & 2 substitutions)

Then in the noughties we again punched above our weight, at least in Europe. Money was talking a lot more now with big squads & high wages hence you know who started to make their finanvial superiority count as did the like of Chelsea. Yet we became statisticalley the no.1 team in Europe reaching 2 CL finals and winning one.

So relative to that this could be seen as a blip. If 7th is as bad as it gets when we're at our low point then many clubs would take that.

Given our stadium size and how much finance matters now, gone are the days wehn we can dominate the league so we shouldn't expect to get there. The best we can dream of at the moment is to compete with the top four and maybe some sunny day in the far distance pip a league title. Strange thing is, we sacked a manager who was doing just that for us.

It will be more, just wait and see. But at the minute it's just 23 years if I'm not mistaken.

I thought we played pretty well to be honest - sure there were poor touches here and there, but we absolutely battered them.

All credit to WHAM, thought they did bloody well at the back today.

ya, now i understand, what did you say....

Think we were ok also.. West Ham had a game plan that worked a treat and they deserved the point. Its games like this that i think Andy Carroll would have did well for us as i think the more direct route is the only way to play theses sides. People will probably disagree but route 1 is sometimes the only way to play defensive line ups!

Was my fault, we never win when i wear me black jersey!
