newsted Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 why now? seems a bit late on that front It'll be that "unlawfully killed" verdict and the Total Eclipse of The S*n pressure group's campaign. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdckelly Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 its the timing I find strange, they could have banned the paper at any time in the last 28 years, papers have been banned on lesser grounds than what the Sun did so it just seems weird to me to do it now.

Tooj Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/39736061 Liverpool have appointed club legend Steven Gerrard as their Under-18's manager - with the new boss looking to encourage a more "physical" style. The ex-England captain replaces Neil Critchley, who will manage the U23s. Gerrard hopes to curb the "show-boating mentality seen throughout academies". "A lot of kids think they have to do 10 lollipops or Cruyff turns to stand out. We all love a bit of skill and talent but the other side of the game is huge, it is massive" he added. Gerrard - who made 710 appearances for Liverpool - says he likes streetwise players but says "too many try to model themselves on players like [Cristiano] Ronaldo". "You have to look at yourself and say, 'What are my strengths and how can I improve my weaknesses?"' he explained. Gerrard plans to help the "soft" youth players transition from the "comfort zone" of an academy to the professional ranks. "The kids in our academy are coming into an unbelievable place to work and there is a case where they get a little bit too much, too soon," he added. "It is a big shock for them when they move on or get released. "That's what you have to drive into the players: while you are here make the sacrifices and give it your best, don't get too comfortable because the hard work starts when you get out of the academy. "I've seen a lot of players who have come out of the academy with huge reputations and go into the Melwood dressing room and then it is sink-or-swim and a lot of them sink. "I have to help these players prepare for careers, not all with Liverpool's first team, but I feel if I can help them compete then it will help their careers depending on what level they get to." Gerrard returned to Liverpool as academy coach in February following his retirement from playing last year. "I have learnt a lot from the coaching staff here already," he said. "After speaking to Alex [inglethorpe, Liverpool's academy director], we feel as though it is time to step up. "Neil has done a fantastic job with the U18s, so I hope I can continue where he left off, encouraging and nurturing players into the U23s and eventually the first team." Inglethorpe said: "Steven has brought invaluable experience and knowledge to us since joining the Academy, passing on some fantastic advice and guidance to our younger players. "We both feel now is the perfect time for him to take the next step in his coaching career and manage his own team." In his time as a player at Anfield, Gerrard scored 186 goals and helped the club win eight major trophies, including the 2005 Champions League final, when his goal inspired Liverpool's comeback against AC Milan. After leaving Anfield at the end of the 2014-15 season, he moved to LA Galaxy and scored five goals in 34 appearances during two seasons in America before retiring. He also made 114 England appearances, 38 as captain, putting him fourth in the country's all-time caps list. Some of those comments man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foluwashola Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Not a lot wrong with what he's said. Suspect Gerrard won't be one to overlook the technical side of the game, as much as I hate the vile scally. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Howaythetoon Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 I'd like to see the full context of his quotes, to be fair a lot of what he says isn't bad at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foluwashola Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 He's taking charge of the u18s. At that stage you're passed the 'let the kids enjoy the game' stage and they have to be morphed into proper footballers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Bring it on. Hard smashing British PFM, tika-taka, rapid counter-attacking, pressing, bus parking..... it'd be shit if everyone had the same style, will just be more fun when Gerrard gets humiliated.

Guest firetotheworks Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 It's a mixed bag of quotes for me. A lot of fair points, but I disagree that being physical is the be-all-and-end-all answer like, always will. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 "Too many try to model themselves on Ronaldo" Aye don't model yourself on the hardest working player in the game lads In some aspects sure, but as great as Ronaldo is i'm not sure i'd want every right footed left winger to actually provide no width and and don't really help his full back out. It works for Ronaldo because he's so fucking good but we have seen with other rip offs that it's not something that translates to everybody. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 It needs to be a balance of physicality and skill, it's a fine balance as well to get right. For me, perez would be twice the player if he was physically right for England and the PL but how much of his skill would be lose? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye I meant in the ultra professional, hard working off the pitch, getting the very most out of his ability way. If I was a coach of promising youngsters I'd be using Ronaldo's transformation in terms of physique and power as an example of what it takes to be the best Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Oh right yeah in terms of being an ultra professional and having the passion to get better each and every year there's probably very few people i'd rather want kids to learn from tbh.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 I want every kid to love Ronaldo TBH, when they're older they can work out if they should actually be James Milner. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
