Loving the new content, you guys are nailing it. Any chance that each show could get its own page though? It’s getting a bit unwieldy having to go through each separate entry to catch up. If they were compiled in a feed together it’d be a lot easier to go through them sequentially. I’d love to click on the show banner and be taken to a hub page.
Regardless you’ve got a subscriber here. I’m officially hooked.
Will pass this on. Thanks mate.
I remember losing the plot over Arsenal away in the league last season with Gerrard deep and a back 3, which is funny when you consider everything that’s happened since with us nearly winning the league with Gerrard deeper later that season and our huge improvement with the back 3 this year.
I think save us by some miracle becoming the next Barca/Real/Bayern, some will always look to find fault with Rodger’s decisions. When we looked like we were scoring our way to the title some of the defending was laughable but people forgot early on in that season when Suarez was injured, he shown he could do a full Houllier/Benitez away in Europe set up when we got off to a great start of 1-0s. That was with Kolo (still around just as experienced cover) and Agger (gone) at the back.
I think the best balanced Liverpool team I’ve gotten to watch was 08/09 and they were involved in two 4-4s inside a week and had to score three times to win 3-2 on a good few occasions in that league campaign. I think we’ll just have to go on swinging from extremes to solve problems on the pitch to mirror the extreme mood swings of our support off it.
Still suspended, even. Not injured. He never got injured.
I’m not sure about his decisions in general, all managers make weird team selections, but his tactics in Europe have been shocking. Even the Owl made an EL final with a mid-table side.
If he survives the summer, which I’m not convinced will happen if top 4 doesn’t happen, next season should be the making or breaking of him for us. He’ll be free from personalities bigger than him and just about all the Rafa/Kenny massive wage underperforming senior players will be gone, given him complete control for the first time.
Whether he gets another go or the boot, I suspect FSG will disappoint the fans in the summer transfer window.
I’ve read a bit of Confucius, read Nietzche and sat under the tree in Bodhgaya where the Buddha found enlightenment. If I wanted wisdom though I should have just listened to the Anfield Wrap. You can’t go into a sword fight with a baguette. I might get that tattooed on my arm in Chinese letters.
