The Liverpool way

[Drewas]

The Liverpool way now seems to be not supporting your team when they need you, sticking the knife into the manager and players, booing the team when results dont go your way, expecting to win things with an arrogance Man Ure or Chelsea would be proud of and showing ignorance in klnowledge for the game.

 

Really is a sorry state of affairs and an embarrasement to all of us who remember why we fell i love with the club.

[Guest LFD]

I remember in 05' when things were looking very similar to now and Gerrard came out publically and said we couldn't win the Champions League. Benitez told him, to only think about winning it and that belief helped us go on to win the competition.

 

I think during the season it is the time to support and at the end, during the summer it is the time to judge once everything has been concluded and everything can be fully assessed and taken into account.

 

If we lose faith in Benitez and the team now, we won't achieve anything. They need support, just as they needed it in Istanbul when we looked down and out - something that can give them a lift and get our season back on track as we did against United a week ago.

 

Once Aquilani, Gerrard, Johnson, Riera, Agger all get back into the team and Torres is fully fit I'm sure we'll see a different team and a different attitude from our 'supporters'.

[JohnnyH]

Don't kid yourself. There was booing in the '70s and 80s also.

 

There is also a big difference between having a reasoned go at the manager while still supporting the team, and some twat just shouting his mouth off about everyone from the manager to the tea lady, of which I feel there will always be afew, but they are no greater then at any other time when we were having a lean spell.

 

By the way, Rafa still has my support and I still believe he is absolutely the right man for the job, before I get accussed of been anti Rafa.

I have a pain in my head with so many threads on the one topic.

You know what else is embarrassing? Not being able to spell embarrassment.

Basically, we should just shut up and 'act classy' while ignoring the fact that our team are stumbling around with more passengers than British Airways and a manager who looks so devoid of ideas he'd struggle to pick something for his tea?

[Ezekiel 25:17]

Oh here we go again, The liverpool Way blah blah fucking blah, I remember the days in which if we lost we got right behind our manager, and tongued his balls etc etc. Which part of The Liverpool Way included losing 8 games out of the first 16 ?? I must have missed that part.

[Guest LFD]

It is the fluctuating opinion that gets me.

 

If people don't rate Benitez or back his methods fair enough, I can understand this.

 

Put some people change their opinion each week depending if we win or lose. They loved him after the United result, they want him gone now.

 

Some consistancy would be nice.

[Ted]

Who's that then?

That's not true.

 

I wanted him gone last season and I want rid this season as well. He was a shitty man manager who can't spot a player or build a squad before we beat Man U and he was still a shitty man manager who can't spot player or build a squad after we beat them.

 

As Ted quite geniusly put it the other day. Man U was a blip.

[goatboy59]

A team wins 6 in a row, then loses 6 out of 7.

 

And you're wondering why opinion fluctuates?

[Bogman]

I wish people would put as much effort into supporting the team as they do criticizing it.

 

6th place and 9 points behind the leaders last time I read the league, for a second there I thought we were Hull. Silly me.

 

If you seriously want to get rid of the manager, November ain't the time to do it, especially with the injury list we've got at the moment.

Such unclever nonsense wrapped in such an unfunny metaphor.

I agree. 100%.

 

....We should have done it in the summer.

[Carlos Durninio]

More silly guilt mongering to mask the obvious problems. If the 'Liverpool way' still exists, it certainly isn't about blindly accepting mediocrity.

[Bogman]

I agree. 100%.

But it wasn't, and here we are, so maybe we should get behind the team.......?

[Tom R]

The Liverpool Way is about winning trophies.

The end.

 

Have a word with the manager about that. He seems to disagree.

[Bogman]

Oh, and we've really had "mediocrity" under Rafa's tenure, haven't we.

[Tom R]

I do. 100%.

When I'm at the match I sing and get behing the team as good as anybody.

 

but that doesn't mean we have the right manager. Cos we don't.

 

Don't confuse letting off steam on here with not getting behind teh team. The two things aren't even remotely related.

[edinjapan]

Man U was a blip.

 

Course it was. Like our 2nd place last year and our performances in the champions league the last 5 seasons, qualifying for the CL every year and his titles with Valencia.

 

That's total shit Tom. He's not perfect on the man management side I'll grant you, but he's worked miracles with hardly any money against much better funded clubs.

 

Can't think of another manager that won't take us backwards, under the same financial pressures, bar maybe Wenger, and even that'd be a gamble. I've yet to hear a viable alternative. A top manager won't come and work for Hicks and Gilette. It'll be someone like Curbishly or Allardace. It'll be suicide if he gets pushed out. A total fucking disaster.

Oh I'm not mate, but I wouldn't bet that everyone's the same as you.

Sense.

[Tom R]

true. Spose.

[Ted]

It wouldn't be someone like Allardyce or Curbishley. It'd be Dalglish.
