running against all current thought, i believe LFC should stop buying players and concentrate on relieving the debt burden on the club in order to develop the academy . The players are good enough if they decide to give it all . what has changed since BR time in charge . nothing much, . The fault lies with the players as we have seen that nearly every player has 1 or 2 good games and then fall back into lazy and somewhat disinterested spectators. Support has come from the owners, fans and managers but its makes no difference to the players . Is the reason that soamny of he team are suffering from hamstring because KLOPP is making them actually work in training and latterly on the pitch?

I'll answer this in a number of ways - not necessarily how you have structured your comments.
A number of players have stated that it is not Klopps training methods that have caused the hamstring issues - due to the amount of games (1 in every 3 or 4 days on average) has contributed to this as well as the players not being fit enough to work / amount of effort as Klopp would like us to have.
Develop the academy / players etc. we need to trust Klopp here - I have no doubt he will trim the squad; try to add quality while still keeping / giving youngsters a chance - realistically its not a good time to acquire or sell players (the Jan before a major final (i. e. euros or world) ) . But ultimately this is another managers squad he is using - the money has been spent by previous managers.
As fans we also have to support the players!

I play football, not very well. just like the rest of the guys on my team. We don't do a diamond formation or a 4-3-3-1 or even the famous christmas tree.
I don't play for the manager or my team mates or even the fans !! I play for me.
I try to win every game for me and leave nothing in the dressing room. it is easy to blame BR and this may be justified but there has been 11 players on the pitch, Some who play well some who don't.
My point is that some of these millionaires are not playing, not for the manager, team mates, fans or themselves. So right now we can blame BR, but will these Liverpool players suddenly play like steven gerrard under a new manager. i have my doubts!

I kind of agree with you Heighway the players have to take responsibility but they need a system and a clear way of playing. I just don't think anyone knows what that is at the moment.
Perhaps down to the change of coaching staff? The game is littered with examples of new managers coming in and a complete change in form. Otherwise what's the point of a manager?
2.) 26 Sep 2015 00:18:26
If they all played to their own qualities and strengths we probably would be playing better, but they are confined to the managers tactics or risk being dropped. I get what you're saying and being paid millions should motivate them regardless

Worst Liverpool team in a long time
{Ed001's Note - its not though, it is the tactics that are the problem.}

If the managers system clearly isn't working then he has to adapt to the players strengths. Every season he reverts back to lame tactics and shoe horning players into unfamiliar positions. Eventually he changes it up once his job is on the line. A great example of him not learning. I think absolutely a new manager could get a lot more out of what we have.
5.) 26 Sep 2015 02:57:49
Would be nice if we were allowed to play a 4-3-3-1!
6.) 26 Sep 2015 03:05:32
I'm in favour of the 4-3-3-1 you mentioned, we're bound to win with 12 players on the pitch
7.) 26 Sep 2015 04:17:32
Players don't coach or manage themselves. If they did, no team would succeed. The fundamental job of a coach is get the best out of the players he has, not force his pathetic tactics and system down their throats hence, making them worse than they actually are.
8.) 26 Sep 2015 05:26:43
If we had 12 players on the pitch that would just be one more static player clogging up things.
9.) 26 Sep 2015 06:58:25
As much as BR is fault of the misery we are in. Players have been utter rubbish through.
We don't have the quality to create chance or score goals.
There were countless games when we were outplayed by the opposition yet we scored more than 3.
Majority of our players have no idea what to do with the ball. They press high win the ball back and either stand still or pass to Countinho.
We don't create enough chances as a team.
{Ed001's Note - that is down to the tactics. The players were good enough before we got them, but they are being used badly. There is plenty of quality to score goals, as usual you have no insight into the game. Your views are always shallow and based on a knee jerk reaction, which is why they change by the minute to completely opposing views.}

I once tried to use a flat head screwdriver to tighten a Philips head screw. Ended up with a damaged the screw, the head slipped and I cut my hand. And the finishing was atrocious.
Like our team, the screw was good, the screw driver was good and the hand was just fine. But if used wrongly, well there are consequences.

How do you expect the players to work at their optimum when Rodgers keeps giving them little kicks in their gonads all the time. An example being yesterday where he claimed that he has shown he can do well when he has the tools, implying that the current crop, picked by himself, are not good enough.
12.) 26 Sep 2015 09:23:48
Lol, totally agree AG, yeah Rodgers showed what he can do with 300 mil and three and a half years. Put us in a worse position than when he started!

SO, The real state of liverpool was on show at anfield on saturday.
On one hand you had stevie leaving after 17 years, then on the other we had sterling putting himself in the shop window. I hope SG is not the last LFC player to play for his club rather than play for money, but sadly I think he may be.
Liverpool FC is special, Steven Gerrard is unique, Sterling is common.
Club or Business ?? WE MUST DECIDE. Do we want guys who WANT to play for LFC or do we want success at any cost .
Barcelona or Blackburn ?

I think you should aim your ire at the club and the failure of a manager who have SEVERELY mismanaged the poor boy who needed support and protection instead of blaming a child for being hung out to dry by those supposed to look after him and pilloried by uninformed fans who just buy the tripe said in the media about Raheem.
2.) 19 May 2015 08:35:56
A child , who actually has a real child. He is not a child he's a very naughty boy

hi eds, do you think hernandes "chicarito" would fit in to the rodgers style of play? could be a prolific goalscorer if given the suarez type free role.
{Ed001's Note - no, he does no pressing.}
1.) 17 Apr 2015 10:23:52
He also is a terrible passer of the ball
29 Jun 2015 22:55:41
posted that he would be a superb signing last april. nothing has changed my view . he you fit in with the system of 2 forwards now with firmino playing just behind . amazed that no definite interest has been shownor is it that BR feels he can't carry all the goalscoring responsibities .
29 Sep 2015 23:25:21
absolute common sense . tactics my backside , when attacking we all attack when defending we all defend. .simples
