The Ibrox Derry 8,904 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 If there has been a split in the squad, then fair enough, but it's been allowed to drag on too long, and has ultimately cost us the league and Scottish Cup. The problem should have been nipped in The bud long ago, and those responsible dealt with. I'm sure there are fall outs and politics along the London Road, but I can guarantee that Mr Lennon would come down on it like a ton of bricks. Plus there's the fact that nowadays it is very difficult for a Manager to go into a dressing room and rant and rave. Players will just run to their agents and claim bullying etc etc. They are a bunch of snowflakes, and unfortunately they hold all the cards. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To make it fair, can you tell me what Liverpool have won last season and are on course to win this year please? Cheers. Hardly, I watch both teams week in week out and can draw the comparisons with the drop in form. The point is about a fall off in performance and results after the first half of the season and the winter break, not which trophies may end up on the shelf.

Laudrupsleftfoot 10,872 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Goldson and McGregor separately on Barisic, particularly McGregor going fucking mental at Barisic for Hamilton's goal hints something's not right to me. I can't see any signs players aren't playing for Gerrard though, you don't create more than half a dozen clear cut chances and over 30 in total if players aren't looking to win.

doc holliday 1,653 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Remember the Rangers side packed with stars who coasted the domestic league year after year but generally got a short shift in Europe....disappointing time after time. This squad do it in reverse. Hindsight is always easy to apply but it is a pity we could not have bolstered the team more in the January window. The centre back pairing continues to be a real concern and unfortunately not the only one. This team is running on empty. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't a drop in form though, we've completely collapsed and blown our chances of winning anything we had left to challenge for. Yes they've had a tiny dip but they also don't give a shit about the cup and field a weakened team and are still on course to win the league by some distance. I don't think it's a comparison that makes much sense, even more so with your 'sack Klopp?' comment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's a comparison that makes much sense, even more so with your 'sack Klopp?' comment. Compared to Liverpool’s form pre Winter break it is a complete collapse. Out of one cup and potentially out of two. Klopp is an outstanding manager and no Liverpool fan would want him to leave. Is a tiny dip 3 defeats in 4 games? Tell the 6000 Liverpool fans at Stamford Bridge that the FA Cup didn’t matter. Was at the game against Hearts and Chelsea so doubly passed off.☹️ The sack Klopp comment is an analogy with the sack Gerrard comments. Neither is going to happen.

For me this comes down to mentality. This group of players don't have it. Crumbling under the expectations of winning trophies. Kent mid week saying the team prefer europe as less pressure. Our captain's comments about the side struggling with sides getting in their face. Even the halliday interview today he was saying he feared the worst when we went a goal down. That's the core of this issue. We badly need leaders on that pitch. That can impose themselves and thrive on the pressure for success. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean the cups don't matter as much to the teams, of course the fans care but you see it so often with teams down there fielding weakened teams, I'd be so pissed off with it as a fan. I think it is a dip (Liverpools form has been record breaking so any few defeats was going to be 'shocking') and ours is a total collapse when you look at what we can both still realistically win. Nah Gerrard is here for the foreseeable, I think anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those players say it's not about them it's about being overworked? And 2 MONTHS after we're back from it they're still getting fucked by the bottom of the league. Twice consecutively. Great to hear.
