Well yes Chris, we were’nt up for it, that was pretty obvious from the start, and I would question whether we are up TO it. We have shown for a long time now that we can’t handle big strong muscular sides, and particularly side that take their game to us hard and give us little time or space. We’re just not technically good enough to handle that, and today was just more proof that we lack quality in all the critical areas. We need a virtual clear out and a changed recruitment policy and scouting system. We need fundamental change at every level in LFC.
I wouldn't say that by modern standards, Watford are even a big physical side! We rarely handle anyone who is up for a battle nowadays. LFC is seen as a cash cow by many players and an instant route to purchasing mansions in Mottram St Andrew, Bowdon, Hale Barns etc along with Bentleys and Lamborghinis whilst providing state of the art gym facilities for free.
I'D LOVE TO KNOW WHAT GUYS LIKE JIMMY CASE, STEVE HEIGHWAY, TOMMY SMITH, PHIL NEAL, EMLYN HUGHES REALLY THINK ABOUT THESE PRIMA DONNAS. They all achieved magnificent success year after year on relative pittances.
