Re: Liverpool Thread
Alucard obviously didn't watch the game then. Anti-Football?
Yes I did watch the game and catch most of liverpool's games. I might not see the whole match because lets be honest, you only do that if you want something to help get you to sleep. But In general I see the highlight of most of their games. And I can safely tell you that liverpool play sterile football and try to sufficate the opposition. Your manager persists with trying to play European formations and plays dull, grinding yes 'anti football'. All while filling the squad with average or shit players, with the exceptions of Alonso and Kuyt. He has very little comprehension of English Football and gets his tactics wrong very frequently, particularly away from home. Hence why Liverpools 'title bids' under him have been dead before they began.
Big ole Brad was the difference between Blackburn scrapping a 1-0 win, and Blackburn being trounced for the 2nd time in two days.
I guess if you drop points again against Tottenham it will be Robinson return to form that made the difference right?
Alucard, you're a antagonistic twat.
I really dont think that was warranted, do you?. If I had said to you Peter , 'you are a filthy grubby mouthed commoner from London who happened to start supporting liverpool from 2005', Then maybe you could be justified in saying I'm a antagonistic twat. I simply critically assessed how bad your team has been doing so far and asked football related questions but thats too much for you. Maybe it was when I asked 'why are liverpool shit' was that the one? If thats the one then I dont know how I can put it, if your team is shit they are shit or is crap better for you?- Or was it when I referred to Benetiz as over-weight- Im sorry is he ralated to you? Go on sunshine which one was it that made you have an compulsion to insult me like that?
Yes, Benitez is messing up Liverpool by winning the CL in his first season, and the FA Cup in the next, and also by getting to 50 wins quicker then Wenger and Ferguson. I can really see your point now.
The common excuse of 'Rafa won us the CL so he can do no wrong' bollocks doesnt wash with me I'm afraid. I'm sure 30 barren years later you'll still bring that old CL trophy win up in an argument. In hindsight your CL 'win' almost seems worth it now considering it's kept Benitez in a job and give him mileage amongst your deluded bunch of supporters when it's plain to see the man cant hack English Football. He will never be in the class of Mourinho or Wenger domestically, let alone be fit to lick the feces off even Cathy Ferguson's shoes let alone Alex's.
Let me you tell you something else...Dont ever compare Ferguon to Benitez. Ferguson is the most successful manager to ever grace the English game. Benitez can go shove his 50 wins up his tubby ass to be quite frank. Fact is sunshine and I'm sorry if you dont like this, but its the truth- Benetiz your manager is horrendously over-rated. Wenger won the premiership in his first full season and Fergie's record is second to none. On the European stage Rafa is a good manager, where his defensive long ball mindset is suited to the slow pace and conservative nature of CL Football, similar to Spain, I give him that. Domestically in England he is awful. Anyone with eyes to see can realise Liverpool have fallen below expectation sitting 6th. Benitez has had nearly three seasons to get it right domestically and his best finish is third. He keeps messing Liverpool up and your erratic league form proves it. He persists on buying average players when there are better options avaliable, he keeps producing teams who play dull unimaginative football. It's his mindset, he's used to the continental style of Football, he'll always try to get Liverpool to play that way in the league: patient, conservative football with emphasis on build up and defence, plenty of men behind the ball, deep defending which culminates to be lifeless anti football.
United are better than Liverpool because they have more money and thus better players, and they also play with an attacking mentality that is tried and tested in the premiership. No Liverpool fan claims that we are a better team than United.
Well I'm glad you admitted Man United are the better team, thats quite honest. Not many fans have the courage to be honest with themselves and admit there is a better side. You'd be suprised how many deluded fans claim Liverpool are better than United and how United are always in their shadow. Theres some here who thoroughly believe that. I won't mention their names but they know who they are. Its laughable really, but you do get those spasticated deluded bunch that believe that because of Liverpools history of winning so many trophies before the premiership began , then it means they are a better team than united and everybody else. Ive even come across liverpool fans who believe Pennant to be eqaully effective as Ronaldo. But again your pitiful excuse that United have more money is rather silly as Liverpool are far from shy with spending money on players.
in terms of the figure Benetiz has spent since he took over, it isnt actually much different from Ferguson. Difference is Benetiz has pissed it on the wall on average players that cannot cope in the premiership
Considering last year we finished just one point behind Man United, and about 10 ahead of Arsenal, and then added proven premiership players like Bellamy and Pennant to the squad, we were well within our rights to consider a title challenge.
Anyone who is honest and hasnt got red tinted specs on, knows Bellamy and Pennant are wasters. Count how many times you've seen Bellamy in court? And with regards to Pennant, can you tell me when or in which match that he gave a memorable performance for your club or for his previous one in fact?
