Proper captain material is Pepe.
But it looks like the level of expectation amongst the players isn't particularly high either. Perhaps it's unreasonable to want a bit of an injection of optimism, but I do. I'd like a rallying call and some indication that there is a bit of belief at the club even if ultimately we don't succeed. I'm just tired of constantly being brought back down to earth - it already feels like we're six feet under.

I'm sure that will come on the back of a good result, but I know what you mean, I think he's just trying to lift the pressure on the side, hopefully we'll do our talking on the pitch sooner rather than later, we've mouthed off enough in the past about what we will and won't do.

We sometimes regard ourselves as separate from the players; but it must hurt some of them as bad as it does us...arguably much more so since we depend on them to fix things.
I'd bet when Reina thinks about replacing Alonso and 'Itz-all-lies' with Poulsen, Lucas and Aquilani he gos off and has a cry.

I suppose we must be bedding in a new tactical system; I'm just having trouble distinguishing it from the old one at the moment.
I see no reason why we can't finish 4th, if we continue in this no risk, cautious, cowardly fashion we 'certainly' wont finish fourth. blame the owners for lack of funds but who is to blame for lack of ambition on the pitch? G&H's penny pinching doesn't extend to the extra time minutes board, that board is supplied by the FA.

I just want to know exactly what was said and by who to Torres and Gerrard in the summer. Cos it certainly wasn't this.

I won't judge the manager or the team, after we at least have had the chance to play our best eleven for a period of time.
That team won't include both Poulsen and Lucas.
With both Meireles and Cole added to the line up, we might acutally see some good football being played.
At least the balance of the defence looked much better with Konchesky at left back, shame none of our centre backs can head the ball properly though.

Well that was obviously bollox as was Hicks promise of a 'Big Summer'. But whilst I accept that these lying fuckers will tell us anything they think they want to hear, I can't imagine that the advisers of Torres or Gerrard would be quite so naive. They know that the current board have a history of lying so surely they would have asked for some kind of assurances.

Good to see Roys getting his message through to the players.
Dont expect to win!
Dont worry if we dont get fourth!
We wont win anything!
Hes a wobbly faced Mr Motivator!
[/quote]
He's the steady hand we require to steer us to 7th without all of the media noise and grizzling that we had with Benitez

I'm fed up with being patient.
Just turn up looking like you want to win.
Stop with the positive thinking and start with the positive playing.

when the fuck did liverpool become the defeatist outfit we are today? imagine if shankly had the 'wasn't expecting to win' attitude.
It has to be said that Roy's statements about our ambitions are souding more like his statements about Blackburn's ambitions when he was there. You'd think he'd have learned from that. There's a difference between talking down unrealistic expectations and casting a depressing and defeatist pall over the whole fucking club.

He might as well have just told us that there's nothing to look forward to this year. The only thing we had to hold onto at the start of the season was an irrational, hopeful notion that somehow things would just click and we'd be a goodish team again. He's destroyed any remnant of that hope.

To be fair, he did also say that we'd probably lose to Rabotnicki, that Torres might well leave, and that he'd barely exchanged a word with Joe Cole. I don't mind him writing off our chances if we then go on to prove him wrong.
we wouldn't do any worse if we didn't have a manager than have grandpa in charge.
if it carries on like this torres will be gone in the summer, gerrard will fuck off to italy or somewhere, roy will have replaced anyone half decent with mid table premiership shite and lucas will be captain.
we need to be decisive - 10 games maximum and if we're more than 6 points off 4th he needs to be sacked.
the old man is bordering as being the worst managerial appointment in living memory.

Oh fuck off.
We thought in the Summer we were going to lose Gerrard and Torres, they stayed, we thought we wouldn't buy anyone, we bought Cole and Meireles.
WE'VE PLAYED FOUR FUCKING GAMES!
I really despair of some of the over positive bollocks that does the rounds on forums, but idiots on here lately are really fucking me off.

Houllier came with a great reputation and won us trophies.
Evans was seen as the rightful continuation of the Boot Room
Hodge is a budge-faced old man with a reputation for winning fuck all in 3 decades of management, came 12th with Fulham, and was sacked by Blackburn with them bottom of the table
he's fucking hopeless

[/quote]Fair enough. I dont recall either Evans or Houllier 'inspiring' me when they were appointed. In fact one of our most inspiring appointments was Souness, and that didnt work out too well.
