A lot of talk about how great he was at Euro 2012, means eff all to me, he was poor for us for the majority of last season and today was probably the worst performance of his in a Liverpool shirt that I can recall I would start Shelvey instead of him against Hearts and Man City - the question is does the Liverpool manager who talks a good game and says he is all about integrity, does he have the balls to drop him? it may well be exactly what stevie needs as for carra, he simply cannot be third choice and cannot start against city, he is just not up to it anymore it's a big test for rodgers if he will drop the two local boys this week and i think he won't have the bottle to do it

taken from elsewhere "I'd say in terms of being streamlined as a club we're a supercar of the automotive world. Young vibrant manager, young squad, low wage bill, new revenue streams, bigger TV deals etc. We've been turned from a loss making club into a finely tuned financial machine which will start turning good profits even without CL money. I commend FSG on many of the things they've done but from our current position some foresight is needed into what happens next. By all means clear the decks in the way that has happened but for god sake start the building process. We need investment now, not in three years time when the club has the money in the bank. I do worry that when guys like FSG trim a company in the way they've done with us surely it's usually for flip and sale purposes? If you're in it for the long haul I fail to see how guys as smart as them don't give more money to the new manager knowing it's a future investment. Naive in soccer terms they may be but not in sporting/investment terms. They know how the level of the wage bill impacts directly on a clubs performance. They know Brendan needed more money than he got this summer. They know our squad isn't big enough. Yet even though they know all this they left our manager hanging. During the Comolli nonsense I was happy to believe they were navive at worst, or at best incompetent but with good intentions. Now I just worry about what motivates them. Am I really going to believe that guys as smart as John Henry and Tom Werner just keep messing up with good intentions?" so no firm commitment on stadium and no real investment in the squad despite an early splurge to win the favs over - that was mainly funded by sales are thes guys in it for the long term? Despite their spin and pr I am unsure. The signs currently point to them not wanting to invest in the club, yes we are in good financial shape but in terms of the football team itself rather than the accounting ledgers we look very shoddy and lightweight.
