I am really amazed by some supporters attitude towards the team and management. Honestly, I have serious trouble taking these "supporters" seriously. Did you honestly think any manager could win the league with a squad full of Diao's and Biscan's? Take a pause, breathe and think before you raise your voices.

Last year I was very negative towards the team and management. I felt 6 years without noticable improvement was enough. 6 years is a long time without the league throphy, especially if you are LFC. Some say we are quickly approaching mediocricity. Wake up! It has been 15 years of failures, and this season is no better or worse than the average over these years.

Fact is. This season we have played the best football i have seen us play for a long long time. Our home game vs Monaco was beautiful. Then we played Charlton off the park. That was our last game at full strenght. Since then we have been without the likes of Cisse, Baros, Alonso, Garcia, Gerrard, Finnan, Josemi. From from the starting 11 vs Monaco only 6 players are fit to play next game at Watford. Benitez has lost 50% of his outfield players. That is the status. All supporters must take this into account when speaking about the team and its performance. I guess some of the negativity comes from our joy and pride from seeing beautiful football again, and wanting more. Now let us support the lads and accept the fact that Benitez need time to mould the team and accept the fact that we are without our creative mastermind and our target man. I think Cisse and Alonso were the 2 most difficult players to control for the opposition. Alonso because of his brains and technical and tactical skills. Cisse because of his strenght and pace. If we can get our players back at full fitness, work a bit more on the tactics then I am sure we will see more good games.

If we can have a little patience now it would be fine. Key to our future success is finishing 4th in the league. We have to finish top 4, we just have to. If we can do that, get back our injured stars, get rid off Diao, Diouf, Le Tallec, Medjani, Biscan, Vignal, Smicer, Cheyrou, Diouf, Henchoz, Kirkland, Kewell, Mellor and Diarra. I am sure there will be money available for 3-4 quality signings next summer. Then we will be ready for the title shot next year.

Potential first 11:

                               Dudek

XXX           Carra                       XXX                Riise

XXX           Alonso                     Gerrard            XXX

                 Baros                  Cisse/Morientes

squad players: Garcia, Hyypia, Pellegrino, Nunez, Traore, Warnock, Hamann, Sinama, Kewell (if able to concentrate on his football), Carson, Finnan, Whitbread, Smicer (if able to regain fitness) All these are good professionals able to come in and do a good job if needed.

The XXX's is the places where we need new signings. Mark my words: we will fight for the title next year. Just support the team and show a little patience and respect.

So Sh@t up and support the team, or go away.

Banana: your post is not credible as you are the person who came on here and completely slated the team and manager during the Olympiakos game 6 weeks ago.

JBG I guess Banana here got some optimism in his system.
