so everyone is hurting - yes we all know that. a Red team being so tame is not easy to contend with - never has and never will. we're in 9th place - may as well say 'mid table' and the perception seems to be sack Le Boss as its all doom & gloom down L4 way. he's spent millions, bought shite players, nowhere near CL qualification and enough is enough.
all the above is true. isn't it? or is it?
at the risk of being accused of rolling out the same 'excuse' when as far as i;m concerned it's fact - look at our injuries. Didi, Carra, Milan, Michael, Finnan - need i go on? yes, the mancs and arse have had injuries and coped but where their injuries as intense and severe as ours? the players we have missed this season would have hurt any team in the world (fucking hell, even chelsea would have only have had a first multi-million eleven to choose from) and anyway, fuck them - i'm only interested in LFC.
so Le Boss has failed us - has he really? lets even move on from the trophies he has won and the fact he has restored some of our reputation - lets look at right here right now - 3 points away from the much heralded CL spot, doesn't sound so bad does it.
our injured players shall all be making an apperance some time soon (thank fuck) and from that point of view the picture looks a little rosier.
the funny thing is that maybe the current 'slump' will work in our favour. Le Boss knows his preferred first 11 - with that group of players he knows he's onto a winner, its just that he isn't getting to field his first choice 11. but it has been glaringly obvious that our overall squad is somewhat lacking. and for me - that is Le Boss's biggest downfall. with so much focus and money spent on for the future, at times like now when he needs to call on experienced players as back-up - there simply is none.
certain players at Anfield have outstayed their worth with a few others having to prove that they deserve to be a part of the club.
Le Boss isn't one of them. all the hard work has went in, the preparation, the players - all with the aim of making us a championship challenging team.
the strange thing (wouldn't even dare call it 'funny') is that, in my opinion, Gerard has got a first 11 capable of winning the championship - it is the back-up players that need sorted out.
could go on about it all day and night - but to conclude.
keep your heads and think about what you are doing. there is no denying the fan's love for LFC, we all want what is best for the club and it hurts like hell when we suffer a set-back. BUT with the hysteria currently surrounding the club i think that some fans reactions have had a negative effect on the club (albeit unintentionally). with the obvious discontent the media have grabbed it like a dog with a big fucking juicy bone. those bastards will milk it for all its worth. the ex-player brigade starting to come out with their words of wisdom - and what does all this achieve? even more pressure on Le Boss and the club.
take a step-back and think about what is being said and done.
