Gallowgate Toon Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 When basic passing is amiss, as professional footballers, can you really place the blame solely on the managers shoulders? The line up was disappointing, and I bet a few of the players didn't agree with it, but you still have to apply yourself and try to make the most of it. I think there is a clear lack of respect towards Pardew from a number of players, some of it deserved but you still have to be professionals. If I had a disagreement with my manager, I couldn't act like them and perform poorly, and a lot of the players on our books earn far more in a week than I do in a year. Disappointing to see. I think the line up could have really fucked the players off. If the reports of harsh complaints at the player/staff meeting are true, then they see that line up for a home game when we're desperate for points, that may have been realization for some of them that this guy just has no clue and he's not going to change. This isn't me excusing them, they deserve a slating, I'm just trying to see where the hell that shambles came from yesterday. When you see footballers (international footballers, no less) not making simple passes and generally playing like they've had all of the belief sucked out of them, you know something is badly, badly wrong. They looked absolutely hapless, that was even worse than the last Liverpool drubbing we had at home. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too sadly. Rodgers really showed up Pardew's laughable assertions that you can only compete in the Premier League with a full strength team all of the time. Their best player was out and it didn't phase them one bit, that's without even mentioning the fact that Jamie fucking Carragher was playing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it when i see it, people say the same about Liverpool every single year. I'll bet Yohan Cabaye would look 100x better playing for Rogers than he does under Pardew. Cabaye would look better under Mark Hughes than he does under Pardew, it doesn't really make Rodgers fantastic or anything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Carragher is as bad as people make out, he's hit a purple patch of late. Yeh he's slow and not technically gifted, but he is the heart and soul of that football club, I think people ignore how important influential figures are out on the pitch and in the dressing room. We could do with our own Carragher or Nolan right now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flip Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Was it the players fault when Liverpool were playing s**** under Dalglish? Strange how they all look much happier and motivated under Rogers with his attacking, passing football. They weren't playing s**** under Dalglish. They were playing s**** enough for him to get sacked. Due to results really, their performances were not actually that bad.... results wise things have not changed much at all for them. WHAT? Performance wise they weren't bad last season? Liverpool were fucking horrible to watch man, they're much better this season than they were last. I think Rodgers main problem was signing Borini, could definitely have wasted that money on someone better, but performance wise this Liverpool side on its day is 10x better than Dalglishes Liverpool on its day last season.

Mick Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Do you not credit players (or individuals) with any human agency? Pardew is not controlling the players movements from the side of the pitch. I manage people and, in turn, am managed by others higher up the food chain. I wouldn't dream of under performing in order to make my boss's plan purposely fail, no matter how I'll thought out I felt it was. Why? Because it's unprofessional and the impact on my organisation, which I actually care about, could be disastrous. The game was lost before a ball was kicked? Shame no-one told 50,000 Toon fans beforehand. I've never said that they are deliberately underperforming so I don’t know why you’ve brought that one up. If you do manage people then go into work tomorrow and take away whatever tools the people who work for you need to do whatever they do and come back and tell us how well they get on. Also, go in tomorrow and set them targets and tell them that everything that has ever gone wrong is down to them and them alone, again, come back and tell us how they get on. If you have inexperienced people working for you, tell them that they're not good enough. Tell them that they're going to fail and tell them the reason that they'll fail and come back and tell us why they failed. While youre at it, go outside of your office and slag them off within a distance which allows them to hear what you're saying about them. Oh and start looking for another job because you're going to be out of yours if you do that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I extremely disagree, they created shat loads last season and more often than not were on top in the possession stakes they just were not clinical. The main thing Rodgers has done which he deserves credit for is making Suarez the man of the team but performance wise the levels have not changed much. A lot of people forget they was in their top 6 till they won the cup final and then they completely fell apart, they were not as bad as the results suggested. Just like they are not as good as the performances suggest this year. As i said i will believe it when i see it as Liverpool are touted for big things every f*cking season and they are 7th nowhere near contending for 4th.

Again, that's far too simplistic because the playing squad are better than our current position and the owner isn't telling the manager to underperform, I hope. He’s allowing it to happen and he needs to do something about it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
