I'm not accepting mediocrity. I'm accepting the fact that our owners are bleeding us dry, spending nothing. While other such as Tottenham, Man City & even Villa are outspending and overtaking us and until this is dealt with we cannot expect to push for major honors. I believe Liverpool Football Club can do anything but this season we cannot EXPECT to. The owners must be gotten rid of first.
But despite this I feel Hodgson has made some good signings and is starting to get his methods across. It will be a gradual process but I believe he is doing a decent job and we should back the team. I'm not backing the ownership as others are suggesting.
yeah i know mate, the owners are clearly the clubs problem at the highest level, and i cant understand why people suggest youre backing the ownership.
at the highest level, we know its all gone tits up, but on the pitch, i think we should be peforming a lot better than we are. we got turned over vs city, totally hammered. united result could have been the same, easilly. defensive tactics in those games might be justified, but then to play exactly the same way at home to west brom was unforgivable.
even with 4 new players, the tactics of hodgson are so negative, its as if we've gone back in time to houllier's reign, only worse. the fact that city and villa are outspending us has nothing to do with our performances. expectations are high, but this is liverpool, not some mid table outfit like his old team. if you come to a club like liverpool, you live up to the expecations, you don't drag them down to a level you're comfortable at!
so while i agree the owners are c*nts, and we have also had some tough games to start the season, we have also put in 5 absolutely shit performances with stale defensive tactics and only obtained 5 points. we also sit below wolves. even if i thought backwash in a pintglass made it half full, i'd still expect us to be above wolves after 5 games.
