The Liverpool FC Thread VIII

If I was a Chelsea player, I wouldn't be happy that he's come out and said this publicly so soon after winning the CL.



Ahhh this makes sense. Cheers.

Think it might have been posted already, but found this an interesting read:

Problem with AVB was that he expected players to just fit in his system. He believed in the system more than the players. And his man management is woeful - if he took over you lot, how would he handle the Gerrard/Carra situations?

You do realise how stupid that picture is right?

Point. Same with Rafa. Subbing players after two goals, never ever smiling or congratulating them. It's a risky way of playing things and one I don't really like personally.

Yeah I mentioned that earlier. We haven't got the same egos that Chelsea have but he'd have to realise that you can't just upset the big players at any club or you'll lose the whole dressing room. The way he handled things at Chelsea was disastrous, hopefully he'll have learnt his lesson if he comes to Liverpool.



Don't think Rafa was as bad as AVB though, who's a proper control freak according to reports.

Yeah. 'Celebrate with me when you score' etc. Still a good manager but I'm not convinced about him in the PL. At least Rafa had Sammy Lee to do all of the personal stuff I think.

Talking of which, the dismissal of him might have had something to do with the failures this year? Possibility of being a factor.

Carragher is not even a first teamer anymore. Our situation is a lot more desperate than Chelseas. Chelseas squad just came off finishing second in the league and won a cup double before that and were basically told they were not good enough. You can see why they and evidently their owner thought this was bull. Our squad having finished 7th, 6th than 8th have no reason to be egotistical, about anything.

enjoy the left pic. that is as close you'll get to seeing the trophy come to anfield. wont come in the near future if you keep on changing managers after buying average players, and being midtable.

Carra still needs to be managed properly. AVB has shown that he's incapable of doing that.

Actually since we've won it 5 times, we get to keep the trophy permanently - so it is relatively close to us regardless of how far we are away from the Champions League.

I can pretty much say that you wont be enjoying a 5th Champions League victory in the near future either, regardless of who else you support in the UK.

Actually, we have the trophy for good as we've won it 5 times.
