i do worry that next season we'll fall further away from the top four, may still finish 5th or 6th, but by a margin i imagine. realistic or not, i hope that fsg's re-evaluation of the club has led to the following :- committed to gaining a top 4 place, regardless of loyalty to manager, players etc, a potential signings age (if his wages/transfer fee converts to points in the table, then fine).
- put the best scouting team together and be relentless to acquire the best talent, building a reputation as having a great academy by getting the best academy coaches.
- get rid of the dead wood. sorry for the lucas lovers, but he is a good player, but he's spent most of his liverpool career injured and he wouldn't get in any of the teams above or around us. he will never go down as one of the great defensive midfielders. that's before we get to balo, borini, aspas, manquillo and alike.
- finally we must pay the going rate for players as well as wages. yes there are financial restrictions however, without recouping money spent and adding to it.forget top four. with this tv deal and the money it brings, if we're not in the top four i think the ship is leaving harbour.

Worst post I've ever seen. Lucas has comfortably been our best midfielder this season when fit and in case you haven't noticed he is fit now but BR is leaving him on the bench. Lost all respect for you when you used the term deadwood and actually suggested one of our most consistent performers this season is deadwood.

thank you for the opportunity to reply. also, i didn't know i had any respect on here to lose. basically my point is that we're not ambitious enough as a club. let me explain. fsg seem to be getting on well with the business side of things i.e sponsorship deals, stadium etc. but with regard to 'on the field', throwing money at the team as we've done with the current coaching set up is not yielding results. bearing in mind the expectation is to win the league and champions league, to get to that point changes must be made. the policy of buy young with a resale value is a hinderance to any coach, barcelona would never have such a policy. with regard to lucas and a like, i don't disagree he has been the most consistent midfielder, however if we are to win the league and champions league we will need a better player in his position. that goes for most positions. as i said above i may be unrealsitic, but i did post a while ago about the need for coaching staff to spot players like we did with hyypia, that doesn't seem to be happening at present. also, why is southampton's academy so good? maybe this is a question that needs looking at. if we stumble upon a player in suarez's class will we sell? i'm hoping that fsg's recent evaluation of the club addresses all of the above. Thomo121 i wasn't getting on one player's case, i was trying to give an opinion on the short comings of the club this year, in my opinion anyway. but i still think however consistent lucas is, he is a part time player, why not have someone in there who isn't?

I see what you are saying but players like Lucas don't come around often. He is loyal and loves clubs not to mention he is a great pro. I could only name two DMs in the league off the top of my head better than Lucas, Schneiderlin and Matic. Coquelin has been great for half a season so I don't see him being better just yet. UTD don't really have a DM, and Fernando at city just hasn't worked so far. Lucas is a very good player and one we should certainly keep

The policy of buying young does not exist and the eds have said that so don't know where you got that from. Also, the owners have provided funds to make us better on the field and taken on debt to get us better off it so can't be blamed there. If you wanna blame anyone for our failures in the past four seasons, look no further than the managers who have failed miserably to garner success over that span. KK spent 100m while BR spent 215m over three years and still doesn't know what system or what team nor tactics to play and keeps making the same mistakes over that span. The owners have made youth development a priority and BR has done none of that. They were promised a title and CL challenge by BR and he failed them miserably. Is that the owners' fault? Didn't think so. If you wanna blame them for not knowing enuff about footie, have at it. But to blame them for our errors on the field, is flat out disingenuous and a disgrace especially as we all know who the main culprit(s) is.

great win, we seem to keep getting results that in previous years we wouldn't have got, a really good season.

only thing that niggled a bit was our first touch at times, particularly first 50-60 mins, other that that brilliant, skrtel and agger looked comfortable at the back, perhaps that pairing will be best for the rest of the season.we'll see.

i have previously been a lucas hater. he did make some sort of impact today, but to be honest the change of formation helped. although really moving coutinho and henderson really shouldn't make as much difference as it did. anyhow, lucas injured again, hopefully not for too long. wasn't a penalty for me and I think today showed, at least for now, gerrard is better further forward.

read in the media Liverpool will view this as 2 points dropped. personally, I think it's a fair result. really bad start.

also, it hasn't been mentioned here yet, but say we did get champions league.with our defence. can't see us doing very well, let's just hope the defence just 'clicks' and all is well.

besides, youth can get better and we have the rest of this window and the summer yet.
