    Well we'll just have to agree to disagree so -

    I think it's fair to say Liverpool are going backwards, considering they've gone from 2nd in the league to mid table mediocrity in 3 years, and competing in Champions League finals to accepting League Cup wins as a successful season in 5 years.

    so they have gone backwards, and have now stayed still and/or made baby steps forward.

    of course if you compare us to Rafa's era, we'll have gone backwards since then.

    Yes, in the 18 months from May 2009 to November 2011 we went backwards, no question. Since November 2011 we are in the same place though imo. We certainly haven't got any worse since that point.

    Again the choice facing Liverpool, is stick with the current manager and current players, or embark on a massive rebuilding which involves getting rid of the manager, selling a lot of players and hoping to get some return on them and then spend another 100 million bringing in world class players.

    On paper some of Dalglish's signings looked sound. Suarez, Enrique, Adam etc.

    Most world class players these days cost 40-50 million.

    For that money you probably get a few players like Villa from Barca, and maybe Soldado from valencia.

    A Villa or Soldado strikeforce alongside Suarez would be damn good.

    I don't think Liverpool could give away Andy Carrol at this stage for nothing.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,970 ✭✭✭mufcboy1999


    Let's be realistic here lads , you havnt a hope in signing villa or soldado. No world class player is going to sign with Ye unless he comes from a relatively small club seeking to use ye as a stepping stone.

    Most importantly do you think any world class players would sign for Ye if your not in europe?

    Saurez clearly isn't world class, terrible finisher and he's a striker who are clearly judged by the goals they score. Carroll in all honestly has to be the biggest flop in the history of the premiership.

    First it was the owners then rafa, hodgeson and now daglish??? Get real lads Ye are just a cat team and have been for 20 years.

    It sort of puzzles me why the obvious WUM's are responded to so much here!

    It is amusing enough nonetheless though :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,129 ✭✭✭✭Oranage2


    Of course Dalglish is done.

    John Henry wants to adapt a 'Moneyball'(buying cheap players with decent stats) type experiment and Dalglish like to buy the best players around for premium prices. Damien Comolli used a stats/scouting policy, so we had 3 people using 3 different methods.

    And honestly, John Henry, Damien Comolli and Kenny Dalglish one season experiment has ruined Liverpool till at least 2020 - I'd be surprised if they get into the top 5 in the next 8 seasons.

    Liverpool wont win anything under Henry, 'Moneyball' doesnt work in football and he should really just stick to baseball!

    Disagree - you just have to find the right stats and then look for players, but don't only use stats in isolation. Other factors must be considered.

    Moneyball doesn't work when you buy overpriced,mediocre English players.Done right and bargains can be had,unfortunately Liverpool made a balls of it and wasted an awful lot of money on dross.
    Even Suarez,one of their best players has a very poor scoring record and for his talent & sizeable fee should be hitting the back of the net more regularly rather than just winning lots of corners.

    Dalglish will be given another season or if results dictate he could be gone by Christmas,can't see him going anywhere this Summer.

    Not seeing the difference in your parameters for Comolli and Henry, also, since when does Dalglish buy the best around for premium prices?

    Certainly didnt happen in his last managerial position anyway.

    He has said all the signings were his targets anyway

    Football doesn't work like that.

    You have so many contributing factors in football. Potential ability in young players (although you never know all the time how it might turn out), fitness of a player, mentality, confidence issues, tactics and basic coaching.

    The logic of signing some one with good crossing stats is a bit flawed because you could easily be ignoring the lack of pace of said player, the mentality of that player, he might be weak at beating players and so on. Stats can lie.

    exactly, take city as an example, buying the best available wont win you the big trophies. a winning football isn't like a jigsaw puzzle

    I'd give the champions league victory to You in 05 but don't be bragging about that Micky mouse treble and carling cups lol.

    Try winning the league and come back to me until then ye will always a mediocre team who happen to over achieve every so often.
