GB olympic cycling's renowned sports psychiatrist joins Liverpool

[Trumo]

Back off, Stu. I respect you as a poster on TLW, but this is really nothing to debate about. Either you support the club, or you're defending this bastard.

 

It is if we don't actually know what the problem is! And in light of that pretty important aspect, your last sentence makes no sense at all. I've asked Kev to PM me with his grievances, and I'd ask you to do the same. Whatever is said in the PMs will not be discussed on this thread, of that I can assure you, but by making statements like "He's a cunt!" etc without qualifying them in any way, I can't help but look at them the same way I looked at ATK and his "Rafa did some truly evil shit but I can't say what" routine.

Hey, I never used those words! Never would! Please stick to the topic. Foul expression will not take you anywhere.

You've nothing to be ashamed of. Peters is a cunt. Fact.

[Anubis]

I tell people he's a satanist and you want more?

[Stu Monty]

Oh, OK. It's a joke then?

 

It'd have to be to explain the sudden outbreak of mong-fever.

[Anubis]

Time to start earning your corn, Peters.

[Anubis]

I know Kev has been taking the piss in this thread, but I am starting to wonder....

[Guest San Don]

He's not doing very well is he?

[Kevin D]

Been hearing, since he was exposed as a fraud on Sunday, that he's going to resign shortly.

[moof]

We need to back him. He hasn't even had a season yet. Lay off the fella and start supporting the team.

[Kevin D]

Notice how St.Steven is nowhere to be seen after we get turned over in a gutless performance against a league one side and shitting ourselves after going 2-0 up? Funny that, as he's so keen to take praise and the limelight whenever we win.

 

It's almost as if he's a total fucking shyster. Hope he fucks off before Sunday, we have NO CHANCE if he stays, the incompetent, duplicitous, shit-stirring twat.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

He's actively losing us matches?

[sir roger]

I didn't even know he had been given jurisdiction over defending free-kicks.

[Champ]

Well, either the players have been heeding your words, Kevin D, and been giving him a body swerve or else he's a bit shit is all I can say

Oh I don't know, judging by Raheem's court case he's obviously toughened him up.....

if kevin d and anubis really believed this man is capable of ruining liverpool fc, but hid the knowledge/evidence from the public does that make them guilty of ruining liverpool also?

[Delmar]

This is a football board, and people want knowledge/evidence. We're not even in a pub here...

[Anubis]

if kevin d and anubis really believed this man is capable of ruining liverpool fc, but hid the knowledge/evidence from the public does that make them guilty of ruining liverpool also?

 

Yes. Yes it does. Hang them!

[ElishaScottBC]

Yes. Yes it does. Hang them!

 

that's the spirit, bunch of satanists the lotta 'em

It's telling that you have missed out Greg O Keefe's incendiary post-derby article asserting a "shift in power" within Merseyside football on 29 October 2012.

 

But then you knew that didn't you, Kevin?

Disappointed.

[Anubis]

It's all gone quiet on the Peter's front. Too quiet. What's he up to? Surely Kev will have an update.

only bicycle kicks

The man is utterly shameless.

 

'Pressure of top-four target too much for Liverpool' says club's psychiatrist Steve Peters - Premier League - Football - The Independent

 

The sports psychiatrist who has been employed by Liverpool to replicate the methods which have played a huge part in British Cycling's Olympic success has urged the club to make a Premier League title or top-four finish an aspiration rather than a concrete goal.

 

In his first public discussion of his role working with the Liverpool manager, Brendan Rodgers, Dr Steve Peters told The Independent that 10 players have sought him out and that he believes the 23-man first-team squad will only heap unnecessary pressure on themselves by targeting a specific league position – or deciding how much longer they must wait to clinch the title which has become an Anfield obsession in the 23 years since the club last won one.

 

"A goal is something you must be able to control and you can't control [your place] in the league," Peters said. "It depends on how others play, not just you. You always like to influence things and influence as much as you can but accept that most things in life are a dream. They're not guaranteed to happen."

 

Peters, the Sheffield University scientist who was hired last October to work a day per week with Liverpool and was subsequently also appointed to work for UK Athletics with performance director Neil Black, said that his role in football created tougher challenges than those he encountered at UK Cycling, including the need to get a majority of the players to work with him. "If I go to a team with 10 people and only five work with me then I am absolutely limited in what I can do with the team," Peters said. "The [Liverpool] players are trickling in one at a time, gaining benefit, buying in and feeling it can work for them. But it has to be on an individual basis."

 

The 59-year-old does not view his role as one of inculcating a team ethic at Anfield. "From my perspective in sport I am not sure that's the psych's job," he said. "It is indirectly but I think the manager is the key person.

He will be fine once we've got rid of those players with any kind of ambition, making things a lot easier. We can then dream about top 4, dreams are free.
