These are the games I care about winning not the cup game last night. I can't believe with all the players Rogers has had to clear out and had very little in the way of encouragement in signing a squad of any depth he can get flack for not fielding a strong team previously. We should have put out a lesser team the same as last year but with the manager making quite clear what was expected. He was under massive pressure to do the opposite and we've paid the price through walking wounded.
Now with Toure out regardless of if we give a valiant display we are still hugely weakened.
I'm fuming. To hell with this cup and any other I want the strongest finish to the league possible. Are we trying to win the league at some point or not even with the restrictions in place?
The only thing I can see is it may give FSG a kick to realize you can't do anything over a season with 11 players and the tea lady at number 12 but I doubt it.
Could care a toss about any of these cups at present. It's about returning to being a competitive team not thinking a good cup side or run is some how progress.
I understand your point but I don't think that a team like LFC can afford to rely that much on one player who is 32, it just doesn't make sense. If this is the case (it might be because of the decision of not having bought our top priority, a CB, until so late in the transfer window) then we have a bunch of clowns running the show who understand [oops] all in football. In such circumstances, we would be fools to expect anything from that game or the league for that matter.
