MsTorres that post highlights the way I feel with regards to on pitch performances/tactics as well as the mind set Roy has instilled. I refuse to believe a team filled with Torres, Gerrard, Reina, Agger, Carra, Cole, Meireles can't compete at the top, Especially when we have talent on the bench in the form of Pacheco, Kelly, Babel etc. My beef is with Roy at the moment, with all the players I have just mentioned there should be no space for the likes of Poulsen & Lucas, this negative mentality is that of a mid table team! The expectation should be number 1, this is LFC, not the Bitters. Roy, wake up! Go for the win every time!
Exactly! This is what i believe as well... fair enough we lost some quality players, but we also got 2 quality players in and managed to keep the core of our squad from backline to striker, which we were all relieved about.
Now look at the other contenders, who has a truly "All star" first 11? Nobody, we have Pepe, Agger, Gerrard and Torres...a spine within the team of the quality which possibly only 2 other clubs can compare with. We see manure playing 21yr old twins as defenders, Arsenal fielding teenagers in midfield, and other top 4 challengers playing "average" players all over the place, yet they get results.
What this tells me is that the attitude of our players and manager is therefore one of being inferior and accordingly playing in a manner that lets the opposition believe we are ready to get beaten.
The sooner this attitude changes, the better for all of us...there is just too much negativity around LFC atm!!!
Nobody here can honestly believe that our starting 11 (even incl. LL & CP) is not strong enough to beat a Birmingham team. We need to play with some belief, that starts with our coach as well!
