This for me is what is wrong with supporters these days. It seems to be ok now to support half the players on the team, and still be a Liverpool fan. As far as I'm concerned , Liverpool Fc is made up with the players that are here now, not who should be, and as long as their in my team I'll get behind them.
Everyone knows we have players on the team who are not of the standard we would wish for, its obvious there are better players out there, but that's the point, they're out there, not here.
You can only f**k with the Dick you have!
Lets leave the Liverpool player/manager to the Mancs and Bitters.
So out of my post you pulled one sentence and came to that conclusion, thanks for that.
Just a few questions then:
Do you think we have the best squad in the league?
Do you think we'll win the league?
Do you think we'll win the Champions League with the current squad?
Are the Champions League or League title part of your aspirations for Liverpool?
Going by your words "Everyone knows we have players on the team who are not of the standard we would wish for, its obvious there are better players out there, but that's the point, they're out there, not here." I'll assume your answers are: No, no, no and yes.
So therefore, what would you do to rectify the problem?
a) Support the team without wavering, no matter the standard of player wearing the shirt, he wears the shirt therefore I as a supporter should do my duty and cheer him and the lads on regardless?
b) Support the team without wavering, accept we have substandard players in certain positions and hope they get replaced so that LFC can fulfill my aspirations.
c) Support the team without wavering, accept we have substandard players in certain positions, try to identify them and think what could be done to improve our lot? Perhaps even discuss this on a forum with other supporters of a like mind.
All 3 will lead to the same place, I don't suggest you're wrong, I do believe that c) brings about more interesting debate and intrigues me more than simply entering each player thread and saying "come on (insert player name)!"
What I would also say is that I believe 99% of those that would choose b) or c) when at the match would support 100% of the team and you'd only hear debate here, or outside the ground.
In any case, I want Liverpool to win the league again in my lifetime, I want Liverpool to win the Champions League again in my lifetime, I don't believe we currently have the squad capable of doing either and an LFC forum seems the best place for people to discuss how we can go about that. If you believe I'm wrong for doing that, then I'll have to live with it.
