Khobar Report post Posted August 4, 2015 Implication being that they're not a top team. Perceptive guy, Mr Ayre ...Afraid not, he mentions the top teams as "our competitors". So he still passes the Anfield delusional test. I called them (U.S.) the top teams, unwittingly giving him some credit for the perception he doesn't have.

Ruudboy Report post Posted August 4, 2015 Quote from Liverpewl Echo: “We set out a plan with Brendan at the start of the summer, and the objectives the manager wanted to achieve. We’ve achieved all of them. So we are very pleased with how the summer has gone and it’s been kind to us this year. It’s interesting because we don’t do anything differently, but sometimes the cards fall in your favour, and sometimes they don’t. But we’re very pleased with the outcome.”So they've given Brendan what he said he wanted this summer. Which means we know where the blame will be shovelled when the inevitable disappointment hits. As in "You got what you wanted, Bucky boy, now deliver" - Yankee management never changes. I'd give him till Christmas - shame, I was just enjoying the ride.Question is, who will be the new Slippery Steve, and keep us all in stitches? Any thoughts?

Like King Kenny for example. Can we hope for a Souness return? No that's just plain silly isn't it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Khobar Report post Posted August 5, 2015 Gerrard will be back soon, either straight in as 'coach' or as part of the back room and waiting, ironically, for Rodgers to slip up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Khobar Report post Posted August 5, 2015 Got to love the fact that, as Liverpool continued to sink, the importance of the top 3 moved to the top 4 and then the top 5. The amount of attention the murderers are now getting suggests that the finished a close 5th last season. Just to remind ourselves - they finished SIXTH, behind Spurs and 2 points ahead of Southampton in 7th ( with a far worse goal difference).And in the meantime we get desperate researchers finding ways to keep the club relevant with such data as Liverpool being the best home side in the history of English football.

Ruudboy Report post Posted August 5, 2015 Let's hope he left some carbolic around for his successor.Incidentally, nice to see Redkrapp rooting for his alma mater to finish below the top four this season - “Liverpool have signed some good players and I hope my old club can reach the top four but it will probably need one of the other big clubs to under-perform significantly for it to happen.” (source: Liverpewl Echo).
