The Liverpool Thread

Anyone see Dalglish's MOTD interview? Having a sulk as the interviewer didn't ask the questions he wanted and didn't want to answer questions about the sending off. w*****.

 

Needs to sort himself out. He comes across like a disgusting little Goblin who's had all his treasure stolen. I've not seen many of Liverpool's games so can't judge them on form but, as has been said by many, his transfer choices will do nothing in my opinion to bridge the gap towards 4th spot

Liverpool fans actually trying to say Rodwell deserved to be sent off and that Suarez isn't a cheat. #DeludedasMackems

I haven't seen the game yet, but he definitely deserved to be sent off. No way Suarez is a cheat. That whole handball business happened ages before he signed for us.

Richard Keys at it again 

 

Interviewing someone from the Hillsborough justice campaign who in an impassioned monologue about their battle against the authorities said ‘if someone puts a door in front of us which is locked, the people of Liverpool will find a way around it’ to which Keys replied ‘that was an unfortunate analogy, isn’t that what happened on the day?’

 

 

 

Keys :memeyeah:

He was giving her a platform to say how the gate was really opened. 

 

I think they've handled the whole two days superbly, playing devils advocate at times to give the interviewees chances to get the truth out there.

Liverpool owner John W Henry concedes he may have overspent on some players, but believes it was important to put down a marker.

 

Since completing a takeover at Anfield in October 2010, the Fenway Sports Group have pumped £110.5million into the pursuit of fresh faces.

 

The likes of Andy Carroll, Luis Suarez, Jordan Henderson and Stewart Downing have been snapped up for big money, with the Reds aware of the need to spend in order to compete.

 

Liverpool are not FSG's sole sporting enterprise either, with £191m in new payroll commitments taken on with the Boston Red Sox at the start of the current baseball season.

 

Henry believes building for the future on both sides of the Atlantic will have long-term benefits and is surprised to have seen the considerable investment draw criticism from some quarters.

 

Ironic

 

"There was a lot of criticism in Boston that we weren't going to spend money on the Red Sox after we did the LFC transaction," Henry told the Guardian.

 

"We spent something like $300m in the off-season in Boston, and then there was the fear we wouldn't spend in Liverpool.

 

"It is really surprising, ironic, to be now accused of overspending. Usually owners are accused of the opposite.

 

"Hopefully the fans of both clubs will eventually see what we see clearly - that there is nothing to fear from the existence of the other club and that Fenway Sports Group is much stronger financially because of Boston and Liverpool."

 

Pressed on whether he felt some of his acquisitions were yet to provide full value for money, Henry said: "Choosing players in any sport is an imperfect science. We certainly have been guilty of overspending on some players, and that can be tied to an analytical approach that hasn't worked well enough."

 

As FSG get set to celebrate their first anniversary at the Anfield helm, Henry has also revealed that he initially had reservations about bringing Kop legend Kenny Dalglish back to the club.

 

Gamble

 

"I wasn't convinced when we arrived that Kenny should be back managing and I wanted things to work with the manager we inherited. But the fans knew much more than I did."

John W Henry

 

Roy Hodgson was at the helm at the time of the takeover and Henry admits he was sceptical about re-appointing a man who had been out of management for 11 years.

 

"Kenny is certainly charismatic and beloved by the fans," he added.

 

"I wasn't convinced when we arrived that Kenny should be back managing and I wanted things to work with the manager we inherited. But the fans knew much more than I did. It took me a while to get up to speed. Then Ian Ayre (whom FSG appointed as managing director) was a catalyst.

 

"(Director of football) Damien (Comolli) was a gamble. Kenny was a gamble. But they were both calculated gambles.

 

"They both have the advantage of being passionate about their work and are both very clever. We didn't feel we had a lot of time to wait, and we hope things turned around."

Astonishing that after all the money spent, the only recent acquisition of theirs that I would have in the Newcastle team is Suarerz, who is clearly exceptional. Terrible waste of money on the whole.

Enrique.

 

Who's that? Young player they've unearthed?

I have immense bitterness towards pretty much every team in the league. Used to like Arsenal, but they are a bunch of whinging bastards these days.

 

:lol:

 

This is so true! I think I could name maybe 5 opposing clubs that I don't particularly mind in the premiership. Arsenal, Norwich, QPR, Fulham, and maybe...maybe...Swansea.

I don't begrudge teams their success...watching Man Utd or Arsenal (last few years) in full flight have been greate examples of how the game should be played.

 

What I can't stand is arrogance from the fans/teams.  Man Utd seem less arrogant these last few seasons than they previously were....could be the players could be the fans...not sure but they seem more likeable than in the past.

 

It is amusing to watch Arsenal and Liverpool starting to fall short of their expectations, and their automatic "right" to be in the Big Four.

I think it's purely the fact other teams have overtaken them in the twat stakes, it's less noticeable tbh.
