That's a great post. There's certainly a few Liverpool players that could do with a good caning.

EvilHawk posted:There seems to be a large group of people on RAWK that think if you don't blindly support the manager 100% you should become Chelsea or Man City fans or something. I was curious, do any of the other supporter boards have this (I'm thinking of United in particular, who have a simiarly well-loved manager)? There's a small but very vocal portion of the West Ham support who think that about Sam Allardyce - these are the same ones that say that all that matters is getting promoted and getting into the Olympic Stadium. I don't think that it's the same psychological thing though, for Liverpool fans it's a tribal thing, but for these people it's like the only enjoyment they get from the game is from looking at the scoreboard (which is admittedly the most entertaining thing at Upton Park these days, especially when it shows us losing another 1-0 lead we've been sitting on for 85 minutes). A quick scan of the shittier end of the various forums reveals this reaction which sort of sums it up: quote:Wake up and smell the coffee, we will always struggle in the modern era if we continue to carry the albatross around our necks which is 'the academy of football'. quote:So, let me get this right, were third in the league, 10 points above 4th, one point away from second which we could be by Saturday evening. (those 11 unbeaten games have included 6 draws, all but one of which have been caused by us sitting on a 1-0 lead and conceding late) Most of the Allardyce defenders have laid low the last few weeks because it's not been going too well for him (and he's taken to arguing with the fans now), but if West ham go up automatically they'll have a smugasm.

From here:quote:Imagine that you're spending the afternoon with Stephen Hawking in a cafe and he says to you through his speech generating device while aimlessly staring into the gray gloom of early spring, "Dude, this weather is for the birds. Let's jump into this wormhole I've created and travel back in time to August when the sun was still radiating!" Perhaps you're a man of science and you respond, "cool beans Stevo, I'm down for a day of traveling through the fourth dimension." On the other side of that wormhole is August 1, 2011 and the location is a pub near Old Trafford. Upon seeing the 'Theatre of Dreams', and also yourself as you were nearly 8 months ago, your mind wanders to thoughts of United and you decide to tell (or shock) your past self (*), "Yo man, Jonny Evans will be United's outstanding defender this upcoming season. Oh, and Patrick Vieira is still a numpty." Chances are, your past self would stare at you like you were a crazy-man or he'd wonder if your present self hit his head through the turbulent journey of time travel. He might even presume that United were now a mid-table side -- you know, like Liverpool.

Andy Carroll's former agent was on twitter last night: 'When I represented AC before he was pinched by Mark Curtis, he was always wanting a transfer, graet lad apart from he batters women. Fact' 'Grass greener on the other side springs to mind, boo hoo want to come home. Wanka' 'AC is marked that tight now he has his arms up more times than a Japanese prisoner of war complaining so much. Useless.Two left feet' 'Is AC worth more than a 12 year old Vauxhall Vectra parked doon the teams on a winters night?'

Economically it seems like a smart decision. It's easy to say take the 35m-50m and make two 20m signings to replace him. I’m going to state an opinion that serves as an assumption for this whole piece, I think that David Luiz will be a top 4-5 center back in the world within 2 years and that he is currently top 20 in the world and top 5-6 in the prem. If you don’t rate him at least close to that level, this argument is inherently flawed. If you think of it in terms of pts. over replacement player (not sure this exists but it should). In this article we’ll take it to mean the number of points a player is expected to earn you over a season greater than the average premier league footballer. (assuming both play 100% of the time). We’ll say that Luiz is worth a completely arbitrary number of 7 pts. over replacement player (porp or porpoise for fun). Let’s say two 20m signings could be worth 4 pts. over replacement player each (even go to 5 if you'd like). Then say the average full time position is worth about 4 pts (based on a 40 pt mid-table finish, excluding goal keepers for simplicities sake right now) and since most full time players play 75-90% of the time, we’ll say they are worth 3.2 pts. (arbitrary but reasonable assumptions do not take into account talent rarity at specific positions etc.) We are also assigning minutes to be of equal value for simplicity (obviously some minutes are more important than others) If Chelsea had 10 david luiz’s in this hairy hypothetical they’d have 110 pts (a new prem record out of a max 114. The right center back david luiz got caught driving into the opposing 6 yard box while the holding midfielder david luiz was off for a cramp giving up a goal to lose to newly promoted west ham of all teams, and Chelsea dropped a point when di matteo insisted on starting torres and sturridge together in the second game of the season against united) This is also assuming that the 10 david luiz’s play every minute of every game etc. (obviously inaccurate, so let’s say that the starter played 85% of match minutes and the substitute was 2 points above an average premier league player (another assumption I know). This means you’d expect to receive something like 7-8 pts less in the course of a full season. We’re already down to 102 pts. Keep in mind this was a team purchased at ~250 million pounds and in its prime. Quick math with the replacement players – 4*10 = 40 + 40 and we’re starting out with 80 pts. Drop that down for 15% of subs and we’re at about 77 pts. This point total barring major injuries to huge stars never wins a premier league title and finishes 4th in 2008/2009, 2007/2008. And this is an oversimplified model which is predicting generous point totals. So while it is likely impossible to get 10 players in the 7-8 porp range (even in 2004-2005 it’s more likely players were in the 5-6 range, but due to squad depth subs were in the same range), I would say that it is relatively easy for a club like Chelsea to get a number of players in the 3-4 porp range. I’d argue the vast majority of the team is in this range right now and in some cases even worse, a few noticeable guesses - left wing (assuming mata in midfield) 1-2, right back 2-3, st 2. Essentially my argument is that you can’t make a premier league championship side without several outstanding (6-7+ porp players). It’s unfair to say that we can replace one of our best players (top 3-4 porps in the side) with 2 good players (average porps in the side (3-5, as that is all a good player will be at Chelsea’s level). The only way you can make the argument that is a good deal is if you believe we can receive in return players that exceed this magical 5 porp barrier. The goal in the transfer market should be to receive higher lifetime expected porps (in chelsea’s special case higher expected porps in the next season or two).

On 20 August, Kelly played for the whole match away to Arsenal[citation needed] and helped Liverpool keep a clean sheet in a 2–0 victory. He nearly scored in the second half, as his shot from 15 yards hit the outside of the post. England manager, Fabio Capello, was present at the match and applauded his performance.[13] On 27 August 2011, Kelly limped off the field due to hamstring strain in the match against Bolton Wanderers. However he made a quick recovery from the hamstring strain as it wasn't as serious as first feared[14] On 21 September 2011, he was back in the lineup and played 86 minutes against Brigthon & Hove Albion[citation needed]. Later in the week, on 25 September 2011, he played the whole match against Wolverhampton Wanderers[citation needed]. Kelly continued his fine form against Manchester United in a 1–1 draw at Anfield on 15 October 2011[citation needed], keeping tricky winger Ashley Young quiet for the whole game[citation needed]. On 29 November he scored a header against Chelsea as Liverpool won 2-0 at Stamford Bridge, sending them through to the semi-finals of the League Cup.[15]

We were unlucky, on another day we would have battered them. Yes if we just look at the scoreline this seems bad, but there were a lot of positives to take from the game. All we need is a bit of patience, so get behind the manager and the team and stop moaning, all of you. We'll batter the next team, they're due a hiding. We wouldn't even have a club to support now about a year ago and at least Hodgson's not managing us any more. And if you can't agree with all that, give your FA Cup semi-final ticket to someone who does because you don't deserve it. The only way is up! Roll on the next game. YNWA.

At the end of the day the blame lies with the palyers. They are simply not good enough. Carragher, Spearing, Adam, Henderson, Kuyt, Carroll, Downing. All average players. Kenny has won leagues with Liverpool and Blackburn so has anyone actually considered that its the players fault not kenny's. Kenny signed the palyers on good form at other clubs and they havnt produced for us thus letting the manager and fans down. Its a disgrace the performances they are putting in week in week out.

 Anybody thinks Liverpool Line Up lack of a few physical players, possibly some black players... we are the only team with all white players in the starting 11, and we are out muscle in the midfield... I am particularly frustrated in seeing Downing plays... he should have provided the speed, power or may be some skills when he is on, but he is not... we need players like the old Drogba, or may be Yaya... or may be a group of non stop people like Arsenal/Hotspurs/Newcastle has... this is really sad to see liverpool's game now

that's incredible I loved this: quote:LeBron James would be an elite striker. He'd be nifty up front, too. Derrick Rose could wear number 10 and distribute and score from the right side of the mid-field. Darrelle Revis would shut down the world's best scorers. like, not only does it hit all the usual GREAT ATHLETE = GREAT AT ANY SPORT poo poo but they even know that Rose would be right footed and great at creating chances... because he's good at creating chances in the NBA... with his hands.
