We are top of the league coming up to christmas, which i haven't seen for years and years. So my am i so annoyed with RB the team, the performances, the tactics, just about everything and not forgetting the american owners.
We go round europe signing every youngster who can kick a ball, 99% will never be seen again. The Liverpool Youngsters also dont get a look in. On top of this we sign alot of very average first teamers. I dont know what our squad size, but our wage bill must be huge. We dont have a settled starting 11, its like a lottery who will be on the team sheet each week. Other than Kuyt,Riena,Gerrard,Carragher and for some reason Lucas plays a part most weeks. RB seems to use tactics to combat what hasn't yet happend, instead of letting the players go out and crush the opposition. Under GH and RB we buy what are suppose to be forwards and play them on the wings, Kuyt and Diouf come to mind. Gerrard on the left,right,behind the front 2, central midfield probably in goal at some point. Babbel i don't even know what position we bought him to play. Dossena, i'd never heard of him and watching him play i can see why.
Their are so many positive points for RB, such as Skirtel,Agger,Reina,Torres,Mascarano,Alonso, Keane (i thought was a great signing, but i know alot disagree)
Winning the champions league.
FA Cup.
The League this season is crazy, is RB the right man for the job? I'm not sure.
What i would say is, if this season is another top 4 finish, a semi final in a cup, then i think it would be time to re-evaluate the structure of the club. From top to bottom.
