KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum £80m of summer recruits sitting on the bench.

We are seriously struggling and he has £80m worth of players bought just this summer sitting on the bench. Something is very wrong.

Does seem strange. There's easing them in and there's easing them in. IF he bought them then surely he should have the conviction to play them!

Was Markovic even on the bench, not sure? Is he injured? Where is Sakho?

Might it have anything to do with the calibre of signings we’re targeting under our new recruitment regime? Or is that question only to be set in the senior paper? And way beyond the comprehension of the junior grade and our repository of manager manglers?

Here's the bench from yesterday's match: Jones, Lovren, Moreno, Lallana, Can, Gerrard and Markovic.

Sakho, Balotelli, Flanagan and Suso still injured.

£80m and none of them good enough to start against a second rate side like Stoke. I doubt Stoke have spent £80m in the last 10 years and we were lucky to beat them.

What a waste of money.

Value , money spent on the subs is more close to 100m

Br shud of used that money on signing 4,5 quality players to improve the starting 11...

The thing is, he never plays them so how will they settle and how can we truly see if they're good enough without a run of games? He's bought them (supposedly) so why not have faith in them and play them? Maybe they were Levy signings?

he certainly gave mario (couldn't give a sh1te) enough time.what was that about, awful managing , turned the squad against him and introduced negativity in the club. be interesting to see when that c0ck is fit again, does BR play him over lambert who has done nothing wrong. in fact i would go so far as saying if he gave lambert as much love as mario then we would prob already be in the next stage of the champs league and prob have about 4 more points than we do now

Yep some strange goings on EMP. Still think Rodgers didn't really want Mario but was playing him to prove a point. Very dangerous game if it's the case.

But as I said, he bought these ayers so have some faith in them ffs! Given a run of games who knows what they can do.
