One thing for sure is next year is going to be very interesting! For the first time in a few years i'm optimistic we will improve considerably. Could do with a couple of transfers to help that.
Even illogical folk may think their logic is not flawed so that may not be the case my slimey friend. Trolling is trolling though dude, trolling and whinging is a new combo, fireball fireball dragon punch dragon punch hurricane kick
Fair enough - seeing as its peeing it down with rain outside, and only a bunch of toffs sailing their boats up the Thames on the tele... I'll stay and see if I can find something else to disagree with you on... Which other crap players are you a fan of... ;>
Our board are not intending us to play a style of football, that is not their aim. Since they arrived at the club their stated aim has been to take Liverpool back to the top of European football and they have not moved from that. Brendan Rodgers and Tiki-Taka are tactics employed to achieve that aim. I doubt that John Henry or Tom Werner care if the right tactics to achieve that aim are Tiki-Taka, Pass And Move or some form of defensive pragmatic football. if you listen carefully to what Rodgers has to say then you will find that he talks about ball retention and attacking football. Now Swansea were able to do the first element very well but fell down on the second. He laso talks about making opponents worry about the amount of time they are playing without the ball. In Classic Liverpool pass and move sides, particularly away from home we expected them to 'put the crowd to sleep' - the difference is merely terminology. Rodgers also has his experience with Reading where, by his own admission, he tried to change too quickly with disastrous results. I strongly doubt that he will repeat that experience with Liverpool. Surely, he will change the style of play but it will be an evolutionary and not a revolutionary process. Were it to be otherwise, then the board would have given him a war chest rather than a budget with which to entice new players.
I think you are right, the board want to see progress and that his methods will work, if there is evidence of this then he may get more money to spend.
