So much negativity on this site, at times we played some cracking football this season but with no end product. Pretty clear to me we just need to get on board a couple of decent strikers and the rest will fall into place.
Have faith peoples

The rest will fall alright

You don't win things in football with cracking football. You win things by winning matches and you win matches by being better trained, better organised, better disciplined and more focused than your opponents. So you want to ask yourself do you want to win trophies or do you want to be entertained, because the two are not necessarily linked.

We've conceded 141 goals during Brendan's 3 year EPL reign with zero sign of improvements. I for one have a complete lack of optimism and trust towards the club and its owners. What an opportunity missed.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, there has never been an occasion when the leagues been won with a poor defence. If he doesn't sort it out it'll be the same outcome next season

Red Lenin - You are right those things may not be linked, but ask Barca/ RM or Bayern fans what they think :-)
It can (and should) be done that way.

HardkaareKop, They play efficiently more often than attractively. The great Liverpool sides of the past were the same. Efficiency first, attractiveness second.

Cracking football? You sure?
I can't think of many games where that occurred.
The season before. yes! Last season.not so much!
I can't believe he is staying.
This was the time to act, whip it all out on the table, make statement about it not being good enough and going to get an upgrade replacement.
It does not matter if that person is at another club. Approach, sell the idea, throw a bit of money their way and get a winner in.
When you think of the dross being bought and not even being played, the money for the new manager would virtually be covered by the wasted money on bench warmers not happening.
How can Real Madrid get rid of Ancelotti after what he won with them, yet we deem Rogers to ge the best man to take us forward?
I have to question the decision makers. Are they aiming for PAR?
They are setting the coming season up for one where every poor performance, goal conceded, draw & loss will be blown even more out of proportion.
Go back to the 'Being Liverpool' documentary. Maybe Rogers had a few incriminating pictures of the FSG people in them - to be used if his job ever came under threat.

Too easy to put it like that. yes the Liverpool sides of yester year were not always funny to watch, I recall many of especially away matches, where we basicly just played keeps to silence the opposition.
But while it may not have been done often, in a paraphrase of Kevin Keegan: "if you score 1 more goal than the opposition, you win", it is surely for football purist, the right way to go. The proof is almost in the sacking of Mourinho from Real. You win and you do it in style

When was the cracking football?

That is roughly fifty goals a season. What will change? Well, Sahko and Lucas, two of the players that make us solid defensively, have been frozen out by BR and will prolly leave. Goes to show right there that he has no idea what he's doing. Defensively but he did say that our woes were uncoachable hence, absorbing himself of any blame for said woes. the owners will regret this IMO, because BR will do nothing different.

If you have confidence, a winning mentality and discipline in the team then attractive football will follow through that. It should not be the first aim to entertain the fans. But i do agree on attacking teams rather than mourihnos style of winning at any cost.
