Some changes could be easy, like ranting at the lot of them until they buck up their ideas and start giving a shit.
I'd like Shelvey to play, ditto Bellamy, Kelly, Reina, Gerrard.
Don't really care about the rest.

And you know we won last time right?

stick 10 defenders behind the ball and play for a 0-0 draw

Yeah, but without Bellamy (assume he'll be rested for utd if he can't play too many games in a row) and Suarez, i can't see how we're going to play. Carroll isn't an outlet like those two.

[/quote]Yes mate, but they were missing their best and most creative player (and probably the best player in the league) who is back now. And we hadnt just played our worst two games of football in about 3 years.

Good point 🙁
it's going to be a long night.
flood the midfield and stop city playing, it's shithouse tactics but fuck it

Reina
Kelly Skrtel Agger Enrique
Gerrard Aurelio
Henderson
Kuyt Bellamy
Carroll
Kelly because he's better than Johnson defensively. Aurelio because Adam can't make it past the 65 minute mark.
Kuyt because he's the best defensive forward/attacker in the world (depressing).
Henderson because he works hard.
Carroll? Well because there's nobody else to be honest.

Anyone know when Spearing is back?

We got ripped apart by Nigel Reo-coker today.

Wouldn't have happened if Gerrard and Adam actually tried. They strolled around half arsed all game. Very poor.
On another note, N'gog was brilliant for Bolton. Gave our defence a torrid time. Wasn't like that for us, typical.

Fuck that.
We're at Anfield, we've got just a one goal lead & we're playing the best scoring team in the league.
We got & play like it's 0-0 in a knockout cup game. Any other tactic wont work IMO.
The atmosphere on Wed will be fucking electric, despite, or maybe in spite of, that dross yesterday.
We'll do them 2-0. We're a cup team, you should all know that by now.

Johnson and Adam need rockets up their backsides if they're going to figure.

Is he still out?

Yes. You dont rush players with hamstring injuries back.
[/quote]
No shit, unfortunately I'd forgot what his injury was.

I reckon we sit back and kick them.
We've got to up the intensity by one billion percent otherwise we'll great destroyed.
Anfield will have some life in it, which will help matters.

We've been bollocks since that Gerrard character returned.
[/quote]
Heh, he looked half arsed yesterday, he did a great impression of Carroll and Adam rolled into one.
[/quote]
I don't think he looked half arsed. He obviously been told to stay back and play in a deeper role than we are used to seeing him.

Yeah, his lack of fitness showed too. Think the last couple of games his adrenaline kicked in big time & he's paying for it now.
In hindsight a games rest ahead of wed would help but nevermind.
I said watching the Utd game I was impressed how much he stayed back but he was less disciplined with just Adam alongside him, I suspect he saw how poor Adam was & kept trying to influence the game but didn't want to get too high up the pitch.

So Wednesday then?
Im honestly trying to think how we can change the side for the better from what we saw today. Its that fucking horrific.
I think that would have been my best team today. I really do.
[/quote]
right, I'm not picking on you particularly Oncy, but that line "today's side against Bolton was exactly the one I would have picked too!" is one I've read quite a few times, as if indicating that Dalglish did all he could.
This is also an extension of Rosco's mantra that the key to management is in buying good players.
It's rubbish.
Good management is getting the absolute maximum out of what you've got. sure buying better players helps, but to seperate the decent managers from the every good ones you need to be able to train, motivate and educate the players you've got better than anyone else.
4 cases in point:
1 - United last year. Ferguson won that fucking league for them off his own back. He's a genius at getting the most out of players, and making superstars out of good players.
2 - The current Sunderland side under O'Neill. Look at the transformation they've amde under a better manager. No money spoent, and he's turned that side around attitude and formation wise.
3 - Mourinho at Madrid. A side inferior to Barca, and they're going to win the league.
4 - Redknapp at Spurs. Took them over when they were bottom of the fucking league, has spent less than what we have and his side are the best to watch in the league and could win the fucking thing.
Dalglish's side and squad aren't fucking horrendous. they should be doing better than they are. Right now what I see is a midfield that overplays, a largely disjointed attacking philosphy that is far too reliant on one or two players rather than any imposed style, and absolutely zero ability to change tactics or approach when things aren't going our way./
That has nothing to do with transfer polucy or team selection, it's just rank awful management in my book.

I'm not gonna defend Dalglish's spendings, but your point about O'Neill could be applied to Dalglish last season, he came in and had a similar impact to the one O'Neill is having now. I like O'Neill alot, but there will come a point where they'll hit a brick wall.
