The Liverpool FC Thread VII

I don't know if this will come out a bit insensative and if it does i don't mean to but...

Could it not be playing the semi final on april the 15th (espeically if you won it - which i hope you do for NUFC's sake) could be a great dedication. Playing for the memory of the 96. Kind of celebration of Liverpool and how they came through all this. Maybes getting the 96's families down to wembley. It will be emotional but just might be what the club and families need etc?

Be interesting to see how many players get rested for tonight in preparation of Saturday. Everton rested quite a few players but also had a morale boosting win.

Don't think we'll rest too many, hopefully Coates will get a game though. Struggling to find any confidence wrt these type of games anymore, actually go in expecting us to fall flat on our faces . Never thought I'd feel like this

Really? It's pretty much how I felt throughout Woy's entire tenure.

I think the difference between the Woy era and now is that even when Woy was hired people expected nothing but mediocrity and everyone was combined in expecting terrible football and results as well as wanting him gone. Instead of that collective now, we have a disjointed support. Some people supporting Dalglish because of his past, some people supporting Dalglish because their parents/older relatives/older friends have drummed it in to them about what Dalglish is, who he is and why he should be respected. Then you have some people objectively criticising Dalglish as well as the normal over the top idiots.
This has basically resulted in a lot of infighting which has eroded any sort of optimism or collective feeling.

Also, with the first few months of Dalglish's tenure holding such promise it is worse to see what the team has become now, whereas if Dalglish had presided over a team as bad as the one under Dalglish people would not have had any optimism for this season anyway, so a League Cup win would be seen as amazing regardless of the league position.

Sorry, but no, it wouldn't. Too many people are affected by it and are still affected by it, added into it that the families do not want it. I wouldn't want to go watch a football on the anniversary of the day a member of my family died at a football match.

There should be no discussion, Liverpool Football Club will never play on April 15th ever again. End of. No further discussion needed.

seen a bit of talk about Liverpool signing Dempsey, which is a strange one. It would be a sideways step for him as far as I'm concerned, he's the star player at a solid mid-table outfit, I don't think he'd ever jump ship to come to a struggling team where he would no longer be the stand out player. There are better clubs that he could go to if he wants but he is incredibly loyal to Fulham.
:

He is another Charlie Adam. Good player that excells in an average mid-table team but once there are better players around him, Becomes very average.

Just keep away from Cabaye, Tiote and Perchy

Worringly, that would fit Comollis strategy of buying big fish in little ponds.

Comolli needs ****ing off.

We need goals, we need Cisse

Tbh, in liverpool's current situation that's the best you could go for really.

Amazing that he cost us just over £11m.

Thats 1/3 of the Andy Carroll money

No its not.

We are in a better situation than Newcastle were at the start of this season, and they managfed to find some decent players in europe. Cabaye and Cisse were hardly unknowns either - one was a major reason in Lille winning the league last season and the other was one of the germans league top goalscorers.

Picking 'best of the rest' from the engish league is an expensive and futile method.

Time for Comolli to earn his ****ing money instead of looking at stat tables.

What Newcastle did was a risky manoeuvre, these players had no experience in the league and could they could easily have turned out to be major flops. Also, didn't Benitez use to do the same thing and he had a ratio of like 1 good player for every 4 flops.
