Can has not had a decent run, he does get substituted when he plays well though. BR loves his favorites doesn't he Allen, Gerrard, Johnson, Skrtel, Henderson, Coutinho, Mignolet and Sterling. Of those he signed three only. It looks like a average manager entrusted with huge expectations and way more money than his average abilities know what to do with. The FSG bashing and committee buying players without BR input sounds like bs. Especially when he himself said he has the final say in transfers Google it.
We won Saturday against a very poor Stoke side, I say it was a lucky win. Charlie Adam had more time on the ball than Gerrard and both came on as subs. So he did learn something about last season: when you winning close out the game. But changing to a back five is just sad against Stoke.
Lucas was doing a decent job and almost scored a goal Allen on the other hand did nothing. Coutinho and Sterling unnerved Stoke. What do we do take the performing players off and replace them with two players who are struggling.
BR looks like Benitez in his final season. He was so bloody bull headed sticking to his system and at the cost of whT exactly. The next game is Wednesday let's hope he can nick another win and keep in mind luck will only carry you so far.
