Practically 1/4 of the way through the season....

[LeTallecWiz]

The expectations of Liverpool and Swansea are a wee bit different, too.

Yah, but then why on earth would you want Clarke here? Or Rafa (who failed at Inter, and was average (at best) in his last two years here)? Or Redknapp (a manager who cost his team a 4th place finish because of his personal ambitions)?

You hate Rodgers - I get it. But to complain bitterly all of last year that Kenny needs time etc, and then complain non-stop about Rodgers when he's not had a good budget to buy players, or even a year at the job, seems really hypocritical.

We'll be a different team after January. And if it's really bad the rest of the yes, as you're expecting (you do sound like mr_moo and hmmmm1 did last year, coming off as if you want him gone already), then most of us will have to re-assess our positions ...

 

[gkmacca]

I don't hate Rodgers. I just think he's out of his depth and a dangerous dreamer bewitched by his own vain fantasy.

 

[gkmacca]

Thank god for that. I'm sick to death of this one.

 

[Insignificance]

I'm at least willing to let rodgers get some more players before I condemn him.

Kenny spent 100m and we went backwards.

backwards?

 

[Insignificance]

He was promised two more players so why shouldnt he moan about it.
Tbh I think he has handled the whole transfer fuck up in a very calm and respectful manner.

So we are Clint Dempsey + One à la Fabio "At-least-I-know-the-system" Borelli signing away from heaven?

No

We're 2 signings away from having a decent starting platform that rodgers wanted

He's gotten the highest praise from every person associated with him. Dreaming isn't a bad thing, and so far, there's more positives than negatives. You just don't like HOW he does things, which is fine.

a) it's borini
b) he was played out of position in almost all games - give him a few more games before you completely give up on a 21 year old who's goalscoring per minute was the 3rd best in Italy last year (i.e. he can score goals).

Sheesh, we get dumped out of the Milk Cup and our season is over. We won it last year and it was 'Oh, meaningless cup'

 

[Insignificance]

We have a squad filled up with Internationals. And we haev a manager who is in place based on his capability of getting the most out of nothing. I am so tired of every fucking Liverpool manager allways talking about who is not there. He has got past and present internationals on every place, and on the bench. In Swansea he did not.

This is the squad. Make it sing!!!!

I know it is Borini.

In February he was on a roll and outscored the rest of italy. The rest of the season he didn't score at all. I haven't given up on him, but that one criteria that he knows the system is fucking wank.

 

[LeTallecWiz]

He does know the system - he just hasn't played in the position which suits his skill set (i.e. he doesn't dribble well enough to play the 'wing' in the 4-3-3)

So a few more of those signings, and we will be champions?

How many are internationals for teams that aren't a bit rubbish?

Seriously, our team is shite. We need to make do until we can improve in jan. If we dont improve, we need to question why we're not targeting the right players.

Top to bottom, we're a bit rubbish

 

[hmmmmm1]

I reckon the expectations at West Brom are probably higher than they are at Swansea, though...

Not at all.

Albion are expectations every season are to stay in the premier league regardless of style of play.

At Swansea it is to play good and continue their playing ethos. The swans would never appoint some one like fat Sam as mangaer.

We are defoe better than mid low table wank.

Exactly what I (& Fabio) have said.

We are fucking optimistic dimwits eh? Dreamy has been replaced! HUZZAH!

I think West Brom are a significantly bigger club than Swansea and so it's probably fair to say expectations are higher. I think playing style is irrelevant to that.

The fans expectations are different, that is the crucial difference.

And **significantly** bigger is highly debatable.

I promised to give BR 3 years. So I will keep my gap shut one way or another about him.

 

[Fabio]

Are we?

We have 1 player who could get into a top 6 side.

1.


Gerrard is past it, Agger and Skrtel aren't the best in their position. Full backs are average. Midfielders are either raw or not good enough.

Only suarez could get into a top side atm

 

[peterhague]

I don't believe that for a second. In 2 years we could be bottom of League 1 and out of the LDV Vans trophy. And you'd be preaching patience??

I was against BR replacing KD but I had to knuckled down since he signed for my sanity. I said all along we will be fighting relegation this year, lucky if we are not. That is not asking for patience, it is being beaten down by reality.

Best not be my stuff you mean

If so, fuck you!

 

[Leo]

If I remember correctly a good few posters were happy with our summer transfer dealings.
It was basically a load of wank and we shot ourselves in the foot again.
We are 5-6 players away from having a very good squad I reckon.
So basically we need a Sheik Mansour type of character to save us.

Stop telling me what I think. He's barely done anything yet except talk. I couldn't give a flying fuck HOW he does things.

You should try the comments beneath most YouTube videos.

I find it surprising that some are using being knocked out of the League cup as an excuse for criticism when winning that very cup counted for shit last season. The fact is this. We're shit. We have clueless owners who haven't got the money to invest. It's got fuck all to do with being reluctant to spend because last time they did we bought shite. They're both skint and clueless. Not endearing qualities for football club owners

 

[LeTallecWiz]

Relax sir -- He's signed a potentially world class midfielder in Allen, helped advance some of the stars of our academy and instituted a system that may (or may not) succeed in achieving our goals as a club. That's 'something' already ... It does seem as if you DO care how he does things (you'd rather he not talk etc) - sorry for misinterpreting.

Good. It wasn't me.
