Anybody has any thoughts on this? For me it was rather enlightening, the way Rio and Keown in particular talked very honestly about the role of non football factors in building a winning team, the "aura" and the "propaganda" around the club, intimidation of the opponents and the referees, the power Fergie had over the FA etc...

Also made me think about where would LFC players rank on the intimidation scale compared to some of those teams. We might not have a Roy Keane or a Patrick Viera in the team now, but you can also intimidate with quality (like Barca did to Chelsea, which Lampard has admitted on the show) and speed in particular can be a fear factor. Life is certainly much easier if you get into the opponent's head before the game even started.
 
Personally i think we're a bunch of pussys on the pitch. We've no one who stamps their authority in a game and bully the opposition. Only thing teams fear from us is the speed of our counter attack. But they also know they will get chances to score.
