Strange you say he's a bit one dimensional tactically. He's getting a load of praise for adjusting his tactics to get results between January and now, especially so far this season. You're right, he has a bit more money and lots of different players (although, many were dross until we booted them recently) so that might have allowed him a bit more flexibility.
Shelvey has pretty much been praised for his attacking ability and laughed at for his defensive ability. He lacked the positional qualities to cope with that role when he was with us. Your man above might well be right, having ML tutoring him won't hurt in that regard. If he can get another 20% out of him, he'll be a quality player when he gets a bit more experienced. |

Whatever you do, don't discuss the content of my post, pick up the typo. Sorry, I'm so used to typing BR that it's natural. Back to the post? No. Okay. Carry on about how stupid I am because I support a different team to you. Maybe go with my lack of employment. [Post edited 14 Sep 2013 9:17]

That is definitely NOT the prevailing opinion. I think most Liverpool fans believe ML has built upon the base left by Rodgers in the same way the Rodgers built on the side he inherited from Martinez. An improved league showing and a cup in the bag shows that. I don't think either BR or ML would have achieved what they did with the club without their inheritance. ML wouldn't have had the spends to bring in certain players without BR, but Rodgers wouldn't have had the platform from which to build a sustained assault on promotion and staying in the league if it wasn't for RM. Fair?
As for Shelvey, I'd say Liverpool fans know a bit more about him than your good selves. He's quality and utter shit all wrapped up in one bundle. If you can get more of the former, you'll have a very good player. If you can't smooth the rough edges, you'll have an inconsistent player. [Post edited 14 Sep 2013 9:16]

He made a difference to it in the second half of the season, to be fair. Since losing to United on 13th January, we've only lost twice. 19 games, 11 wins, 6 draws, 2 losses. 39pts. Not idea, but better than United who have won 11, drawn 5 and lost 3, picking up 38pts. The first half of the season was poor, and you're right that there was little difference. Since then, though; quite a noticeable difference.
Of course, 19 games is only half a season. It's a big task to do it for 35 more games. We do have Suarez and Sakho to come into that squad, though. And we've already added Mignolet and Toure to it. So It's quite possible that we're going to give top four a good go this season. |

A'right gents? I'm not sure if yours is the type of forum which allows other fans on here without grief (some forums are friendlier towards 'outsiders' than others), or if the mere utterance that I happen to support Liverpool is enough to send people rushing for their pitchforks. Hoping you're the former, do you mind if I ask a few questions for a little match-preview I'm doing?
1) Fun fact: Liverpool have won more points than United since January. We've scored more goals than any other Premier League side, too. From the outside, does it look like Liverpool are improving?
2) Swansea has established itself as a Premier League club quite comfortably: Trophy in the cabinet, improving on previous league positions, in European competition, and a place where sides don't particularly like to play. Are you content with that, or do the club's ambitions stretch further? Top four and beyond?
3) I've been a fan of Rodgers from the off, but it has taken time to convince some fans he's not just a few smart words with nothing to back it up. What are your views, having been managed by him, now you see him at a different club?
4) How do you think the match will pan out? Not just scores, but what are you weak points and which of our (many) weak spots will Laudrup instruct your boys to attack?
Just so I know, what team are you likely put out? |
