    Only one English team was kicked out of the Europa yesterday. Glorious failure and all that.

    But has anyone else wondered how a team challenging at the top with the likes of alonso, mascherano, Torres, Aurelio etc is transformed into a team of Allen Shelvey sterling downing Henderson. This after spending tens of millions, 2nd or third highest expenditure on players in the whole of the premiership? I can see the scousers in the doldrums for a decade with their current set up.

    I am asking because the talk is all about patience getting back into Europe. What led to all of this?

    Was it the previous buffoon manager who incompetently squandered all the available money on duds?

    Klueless Kenny has to take the blame, his purchases have been dire, but bWendon Wogers has to take blame for having no plan B.

    Still, next year is their year :)

    Suarez has single handedly saved them from an even more dire season...

    What would happen if he is less prolific next season, or is sold CL team abroad?

    Apart from Suarez every one of Dog Leash's signings were a waste of money.

    He just waisted fortunes on average British players, 35 million on Carroll and 20 million on Downing are 2 of the most hilarious signings ever made.

    Any sane football fan knows Andy Carroll is not even worth a quarter of that, so what possessed Dog Leash to splash out all that cash il never know. The man is arguably the worst manager at judging talent that there's ever been :biggrin:

    The miserable scousers made several key errors:

    1. Dismissed Roy without giving him a proper chance to succeed.

    2. Gave the job to a past hero who was well past it as a manager.

    3. Recruited players who were duds.

    4. The dud players were not properly integrated into the team.

    5. The high salaries paid to these players meant that they couldn't be got rid easily.

    6. the high prices paid for the duds meant that money available even with the sale of the duds would not be sufficient to improve the team.

    7. Employing a new manager who was unproven and whose main achievement has been to make a cringing documentary and whose skills are in PR - feeding the scousers fans stories and pushing each win as evidence that they are going to the top.

    The fat Spanish ****er left Liverpool with a ****ing abysmal squad and the managers that have followed have made it even worse.

    Tikitaka shows no great tactical acumen. His substitutions hardly have a postive impact. He spins like mad. After every win, he says the club is now in a postion to go for top 4. WTF??? He is seriously deluded if he genuinely believes that. And what was he thinking offering a player like Sterling, young and unproven, such a big contract? he obviously hasn't learnt the lesson from Downing, Henderson, Adam and co.

    His judgement of players worth and potential is questionable. His buying of more expensive players will not improve the team one bit but will saddle the club with large salaries and unmovable players.

    The downfall of the scousers has been spectacular.

    You have heard it first. The scousers will not be in Europe again whilst Rodgers is manager.
