He basically outlines all that is wrong with Liverpool right now, no identity, players not good enough, olayers being played out of position etc. but yet we should stick with Brendan... I dont think he gives a reason why. Then he finishes with. "Liverpool fans want a style and formation that they like and that's why they'll always complain" Baffling stuff. It's actually gas how basically all of the British telly pundits never come out and say a manager should be sacked, it's all a big boys club.
It's like a weird Lego set, we've got all the bits to make a **** hot intergalactic space fighter ship to invade the universe, but the guy putting it together just keeps ending up with a ridiculous looking moon buggy with no guns.
We look like a Lego set that's been expensively acquired but some bright spark forgot to include the instructions. Actually, no, we look like someone has bought several different Lego sets, pirates, space stuff and some Duplo in there as well, and then tries to mash it all together with no coherent plan or logic.

I was happy during the Houllier / Benitez eras at being in the upper echelon of the league maintaining a base that was used to challenge for trophies or advancement to the later stages of European competition year on year. And do you know what? That was a slight lowering of standards from what fans would have expected during the 70's and 80's. That's as low as I would go however and, yes, the Souness and Evans eras were poor enough to make the Houllier / Benitez decade seem like a mini golden age.

Whatever formation/approach he will settle on will get picked a part by a decent team and he wont change it until its too late. I can see us going on a run and then falling apart again. I have no doubt he'd get us 5/6 every year with this approach. But he's not learning and after 3 years we have similar problems to his first season even. Players are not being utilised by his tactics, and when he gets a formation and tactics to work he cant adapt them when results go bad. He wont get us back into the top 4 and he wont win us any trophies. But he will get us in and around par or just below. We need more, and that may be unfair but its a fact. As for who is available to take over etc is up for debate.

Caovyn Lineah wrote: » Houllier had one fantastic season and imo should have been cut loose sooner than 2004. He finished 2nd in 01/02 and signed Cheyrou, Diouf and Diao as the players to get us over the line and win the title. Let that sink in. Diouf and Diao in while Anelka and Litmanen left.
