I know but you cant give up on the Club even though it does stink at the moment...

Nando is one of the best players we've been lucky enough to have in the Red shirt. His form has been poor this season and a lot of that was down to the negative tactics of RH. I'm happy to get behind him and sing his song, I just hope he repays me with a return to his early form. If he does then we really can look forward to the future.

Some of what he says is true though, only not too sure about the cheating tbh.
Torres' attitude has been dire, and only one person is in charge of his attitude, and that is HIMSELF. Not Hodgson, not Rafa, no one but himself.
You rise above challenges, do your very best, knuckle down, stop your griping and bloody well get on with it, and let's face it, for an unbelievable £120,000 a WEEK, most of us would have a damned good attitude.

Unfortunately there are to many of our players with this attitude, especialy this season, thats why I say will it be acceptable if all of a sudden they start getting there fingers out and start to play well...

I'm going to carefully watch his body language today and see if it has now changed. He's looked really sulky and moody over the last few months. This will indicate whether Roy was right or not in terms of man management and creating the right mind set in his players. I want to see Torres and all the rest coming out baring their teeth today.

Translation please, just roughly will suffice.

This is very true, but we're discussing Torres because of his statement.
I will say one thing in his favour however, and that is that at least HE has come out and spoken, which is a damned sight more than our captian has done

well if he does come out baring his teeth and putting a shift in then he is a cheat and has pulled the wool over fans eyes all season, simple as...

Like this.

Good attitude makes for great support and prizes.

I agree that his attitude stinks but he was made a scapegoat by hodgson. The thing is the game has advanced to such an extent that players actually have power, its disgraceful I know. But hitting torres with a stick telling him to work harder won't aid his game. I saw him again and again chasing long punts up to the corner flag and putting crosses in for players who were not there in the box. That is not the job of a gifted striker The other thing is if we were playing attacking football he would be doing what he knows how to do best banging in the goals and this question would be redundant . This question of torres is a red herring in my opinion . There is a malaise at the club You can identlify jonshon torres, maxi(for large part of 2 years) not pulling their weight. What I am saying is that is true he is a sulky brat, but give him the chances play him with a view to a chance of getting the ball in the box and this question is redundant. Besides Torres is one player. If liverpool is about hte 11 players pulling together how can everything be his fault when it goes wrong. The torres debate was taking attention away from the fact that the tactics were all wrong , that is why i steered clear of the torres debate whenever possible. If he plays shockers in next 3 games I will be first to say ship him out But I have a feeling he will have changed his attitude. Yes that's horrible because it means he was not giving his all for the fans . But as i say the game has changed for hte worst and we have to deal with impetuous brats. They are all the same, you just notice it because we are in the relegaation zone. Imagine Tevez if man city were 4th from bottom ! Imagine rooney they would be off, sulking throwing the toys out hte pram.
