There'll be a couple of players in the rumoured starting X1 who have much to prove as Liverpool players, a couple who so far in a red shirt I don't rate at all. As I've said all along though, EVERYONE of the players gets a snowy white clean sheet from me. That even applies to the players I rate, there's little point in them playing well for Brendan but then sh!te for Jürgen.
It's a fresh start, and as the boss has been fond of saying EVEYONE has to do their bit. That's players, fans in the ground, fans on forums, fans on phone ins, people everywhere. These players are being asked to adopt a completely new way of thinking and they've had about two days to take it on board. They were previously playing awful, couldn't score and we're leaking girls like a sieve in a largely dysfunctional team that lacked confidence. No wonder some of them looked ordinary. They won't be able to turn it around in one week either, it'll take time.
Everyone gets a fair crack from me, and as long as I see maximum effort from all the players I'll be happy. The performances and the results will follow, as long as we support the players and the boss, and as long as the players run till they drop for the shirt.
