Before I post the article so far in terms of tricky tasks we have beaten United away, Beaten the dog **** out of Spurs away, drew with Everton in a game that could have gone either way, drew with Newkie that at the time felt bad but they have taken results away from many of the big boys. http://espnfc.com/blog/_/name/liverpool/id/2142?cc=5739
when br did his press conference and said his vision was to bring "relentless attacking football" here I was impressed..... it was brave and it was exactly what I wanted to hear personally...... since then he has cleared out a lot of overpaid divas not fit to wear the shirt and also one particular brave clear out imo .... pepe he has been better that average with the money spent.... ford, studge, hendo good examples (practically bargains now) the way he has handled Luis and gis antics and also the way he has been brave and ruthless in bringing in younger player's for under performing "stars" I have to be honest and say I never believed br could turn our fortunes around in such a short time span. I don't think anyone did tbh and rightly so. nothing's won yet and our target is not yet a certainty but **** me hats off to br and the owners so far.... fsg deserve credit for employing br in place of a club legend anyway but we are looking like we are going in the right direction at last... and waaaaay ahead of schedule too.
Certainly agree with the sentiment, though I would like to point out that, while BR has brought out some amazing stuff from Hendo, Kenny Dalglish made that purchase, which is coming good. You could substitute Sakho in for Hendo, and that would be a spectacular list. Would like to see a winger brought in for sure this window, as I just don't (and tbf never have) rated Moses... We look thin out wide, and maybe in the center of the park, I don't see anyone able to fill that three had say Hendo's injury kept him from the game. With Sturridge and Gerrard out, we can't afford another injury in the middle of the pitch. But I am above the clouds ATM, can hardly contain myself with the current status of the club.
I think clearing out the previous regime is part of the plan. It is why I regularly say I expect to see Agger, Skrtel and Johnson go. He won't sell Gerrard (he'd fear getting lynched) and I suspect he has a soft spot for Lucas after the way he spoke about him on Being Liverpool. There are obviously others that were at the club before BR such as Henderson, Enrique and Suarez but none of them had been here that long before him and they are all performing, they also have age on their side. PS...Kenny/Comolli bought Henderson
nobody would want gerrard bar a few sides like QPR... the 3 names mentioned are all on high wages BUT if we get CL, those wages are then affordable. remember that henderson is mooted to be on 60k per week. we've been wage reducing nothing more IMO. I think though that we need to look where we are now and where we could be and make the changes out of fsg's pockets.... get it right and who knows if real don't bid on suarez we could get him to sign a new deal and maybe get another 12 months out of him... that would be a miracle but i feel he'd not leave us for just any old tosh, real madrid is his aim... which is fine by me... if he makes himself a 80million player this year....
Agreed K&R. He's got his faults, and I'm quick to point them out. But I'll show my support for what he's doing even quicker. He's shown his willingness to change some of his stubborn ways (setting him apart from even Rafa) and he's had some brilliant moves. Suarez in the summer, Pepe, youngsters finally getting a chance, attacking football, etc. His transfers were off in the first season but even that is fine. It's a learning curve and we've seen that those players he bought would definitely be good enough for most Prem teams (Borini, Assaidi). When he gets his mind set on a formation that doesn't work, he will persist with it but for a much shorter period of time than he used to and will fix it before long. I didn't expect to be where we are so soon and that I have to thank BR for.
Heard his name being sung at spurs which was great to hear because he really does deserve it from us. I think we were quick to forget what a mammoth job he actually had with us with incredible pressure to do it quick in this modern manager merry go round football period we live in. Clearing out players we slowly started to hate, and then others who we loved but deep down knew needed shifting so we could move on and from january 2013 we have been great! Long may it continue and for BR
