About Me

I have been a Red since I was about 6 or 7. My boyhood hero was Kenny Dalglish and I have an autograph from him while he was still at Celtic. Thanks Gran! As such I gravitated towards the team he played for. So I have been Scottish-South African- Scoucer for about 30 years now! I am extremely passionate about our club, and have felt the need to start this blog in the face of the abject nature of our performaces under Benitez and the Hicks/Gillett ownership.

Flatlining

I have been re-miss in not posting anything for a couple of weeks, but after forcing myself to watch our last 2 game against Unirea & Man City, I have required suicide counselling from the Samartans! And have only just been given the all clear.

Although I am not sure the Samaritans are aware that we are playing tomorrow night again! maybe I should tell them to put extra people on the phones!

All I can say about our recent performances is that they have been consistent with most of the dros we have had to endure for the last 5 & 1/2 seasons under this clown. Honestly other than those mad 10 games or so last season when we played some Roy of the Rovers stuff, we have consistently provided nothing but boring, effective, result driven football, always doing just enough. This is not the ethos of Liverpool Football Club or indeed a team that is suppose to be challenging for trophies.

I am sick of having to sit in pubs with my mates who support the other 3 teams at the top and they are all generally talking about trophies and good quality football, while I have to make excuses for the lack of ambition and direction shown by our clueless FSW.

Never has 1 man got so little from so much. He has let good players like Luis Garcia,Crouch,Keane,Arbeloa,Finnan and of course Alonso leave, and what has he really brought in? We have seen a plethora of bits and bobs players or as one of my work colleagues so aptly puts it 'carlos-kick-a-balls', come in to replace these players. Degen, he was injured when he arrived and thankfully has stayed injured for most of his time with us far. Like that dosy Dossena, looks good as a winger but not much use as a fullback!Voronin,Lucas etc all woefully under done and not up to what we need. Obviously up front is where we are lacking the most, and while I think Kuyt and young Ngog are doing a decent job leading the line, Kene Crouch or Torres they aint.

Glad to see that Yossi & Torres are regaining fitness and we might be able to squeak 4th, but really do we deserve it and will it be down the efforts of the players rather than any tactical nous shown by the goate-ed moron.

We have about 7 decent players, but after the amount of players we have seen come and go surely we should have more than this? Chelsea have about 20 decent players, Arsenal about the same although most of then need a responsible adult to accompany them to a 18+ movie! As for the Legions of Doom they have about the same as us, yet their inbred Govan scumbag leader seems to make the team equal more than the sum of the parts. How else do you explain a midfield made up of Scholes,Giggs, Fletcher, Carrick, Valencia doing well. Its average at best. Only Valencia would get into our midfield (Lucas aside obviously, who as we know would be on the bench at Scunthorpe!).Giggs & Scholes are too old, and Fletcher and Carrick arent in the same league as Mascha & Stevie G. They also rely on 1 man up front, and have a decent back 4 and keeper. Yet we are so far behind them that even if they didnt play another game this season we would probably just catch their points in the last week of the season.

Rafa has also chopped and changed the reserve team coach and doesnt seem to have the confidence to use any of these players, then why change the coach and pretend its important. We havent seen enough of Spearing,Darby,Plessis,Kelly the on loan Nemeth. Our players at this level when comnpared to Arsenal and Legions of Doom are easily 3 or 4 years behind in development. He very rarely send anyone on loan, and with only 16 reserve matches a season, how are these players suppose to develop? Sure maybe the 1st team isnt the place, but playing mickey mouse reserve team footie isnt helping either. We need to send a raft of these boys out on loan to Championship/League1 clubs and then see what they are like when we get them back.

Funilly enough the pig at the 'theatre of delusions' was at a similar point in his managerial tenure when he had no choice to but to play the youngsters, and the rest is history. If Hicks & Gillette arent putting their hands in their pockets, what else can he do?

Hopefully we have enough to see off Unirea and Blackburn, but I wouldn't hold my breathe.
