It was all in their mind

Fuck, could you imagine shank's response to this?!

I dunno. Shanks did engage in more than a little mind games with his players in terms of engendering positive thinking. All that bluster about how terrible his opponents were, how they'd been overtrained (as he insisted was the case with Everton on one occasion without having a clue how they'd trained), or how he wouldn't swap his player for 3 of the opposition, it was all exercises in positive thinking, sending the players out feeling 10 feet tall.

True, but I doubt he'd pander to the whims of these baby's that play now in this manner.

Anything that has a positive effect on even 1 player while not badly effecting any other is a great thing

Getting an assist from the wing for Liverpool has been very difficult over the last decade. We have one single player in the box, and if you manager to hit him, how hard is it for the defence to match him? Lets hope Sturridge and Jesus change the odds a little.
