People can blame the manager all they like but the fact is that he's playing within the boundaries of the fucking pathetic recruitment strategy of our owners. Buying young players with potential and expecting them to produce instant trophies and champions league qualification as standard is a flawed plan. This isn't baseball and were not the fuckin Hackensack Bulls! I don't trust FSG one bit and have little faith in how they are running affairs on the pitch. We need to revise things pronto this summer and get in players who are ready to come straight into the team, players who are 26, 27, 28, experienced players who can offer balance and guide the younger lads in the team. We need to start paying the going rate when it comes to contract length and wages otherwise we'll be left behind again. We had that opportunity last year with CL qualification, the carrot was there to attract star quality but we fucked up. Liverpool are a massive, massive club but fuck me we havent acted like it off the pitch in recent years.
