Ciggy your posts are so doom and gloom its unreal. Your doing it on here and RAWK. Half empty glass!
You bettter than anyone know we have to sit tight. Blaming Roy for bringing in 28-29 year olds is OTT. We dont have the money for the very best younger players.
Yet, up the east lancs, a ginger minger who is 35 is having a great start to the season. Are they moaning cos he's past it? NO! Where we moaning when Gary Mac came at 35 and had two cracking seasons? NO!
It seems far too many LFC fans are dooming everything we do. Just cos Konchesky plays for Fulham, hes. Yet i remember people saying Kromkamp (remember him) was class! Fact is, most on here dont know anything about the players we are linked with, then read Wikipedia or watch youtube and then jump on the band wagon.
Konchesky is far better than that slouch Insua. IMO Insua is slow, too small, no pace and really a typical rafa player. ( Hard working).
One big issue that concerns me on the pitch side just now is how much Carra is declining! His influence on positioning and barking orders is still there, but there is too much tendancy to sit deep so he doesnt get exposed over the top. I really think Roy must look at playing Agger in there with a.n.other. Maybe even young Wilson against the lower placed teams. I really think father time is catching up with Carra.
The Gerrard dilemma? its obvious Stevie isnt the hard tackler box-to-box player of his early career. He's been playing away from that position for too long and seems to have lost a bit of bite. So, where shall we play him. For me i think he needs to be central in a midfield three, where he can break forward. Lately, i feel he's been too far forward continuously with Torres. What about right side of midfield? Had one of his best seasons there in 2006-07.
Its going to take awhile for Roy to gel a team in his mould. Fluidity is probably the main problem with us just now. I'd like to see some pace out wide. Kuyt is good for some games, usually against the bigger sides but against opp that put 10 behind ball, he becomes ineffective. Why not try Babel down the right? He is right footed after all. Would not need to check inside. Sneak in round the back with his fair share also i think.
A long winded post i know, but ladies and gents, its going to take time, with our structure internally, its going to be hard also. As we stand financially, we have to get things right this time. By buying british, i believe gives you more chance than getting the cheap foreigner. Blooding some youngaters also would benefit the team and shows the fans that academy is working. I really believe there is some great talent in there. acheco, Amoo, Shelvey, Ince, Wilson, Suso, Mavinga. Could easily blossom into fine footballers playingwith torres, gerrard, agger, maxi, poulsen and Miereles.

Certain players dont stay and legends like Kenny wouldnt keep so quiet if it was so rotten. I dont believe it. Yes, everyone is entitled to their opinion, but i really dont agree with what Dion Fanning writes. He's going far too far with his pessimism.
I hope Roy doesnt just become the caretaker manager, because for me, its evident that he will give the british youngsters more of a chance than houllier, benitez etc did, and what rijkaard, klinsmann, hiddink whoever, will.

Roy did all of that against WBA but also sat the team a lot deeper than we typically used to, leaving West Brom to come onto us and for us to work, essentially, on the counter attack. This is why the distance from our furthest player forward and our last defender was so great. We could and should have pushed the backline up nearer the halfway line and kept it there instead of retreating so often as we did, then our midfield and attackers would've been tighter, consequently we'd have won the ball back faster and been closer to the goal and in closer support to each other.
