ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC"

[peteblue]

If you look in at the Roberto Martinez thread, many are obsessed with they (us) will not finish at 4th and not above them, our squad has not improved and is very old. It is just laughable they are so deluded over there. Add to that they talk os our finances being poor yet forgetting that it was not long ago they had no cash thanks to the signings made by Daglish.

It's true, our squad has not improved, but their squad has got worse with losing the rat, the benchwarmers they've bought will make no difference.......

 

[peteblue]

TBH, I don't know most of the crap that the RS have bought or are planning to buy, it just looks like a load of crap to me. So what does everyone think of their buys/expected buys........

 

[serbianblue1]

They have spent a fortune. If you analyse it they spent most of the early 2000's. Had a credit crunch of their own late 2000's (2008-2010) then the wheels came off again and now they've gone crazy spending.


Everton have patterns of spending. Spend a bit. Develop a bit. Sell a bit balance the books. Spend a bit.

Every 4 years or so. We will be able to increase our spending with a stadium development.

But even then I doubt it will go as crazy as theirs. No way to run a club.

That high turnover of players. Has a cost in itself in sign on fees and wages and contract payoffs.

They are a grossly inefficient club.


Whereas we use every penny at our disposal in the main.

Just need a new stadium on walton hall park 55000+ capacity and we cream them lot. take them to the cleaners.

Everton have won nothing in twenty years.

That would make the first eleven worse, there is no doubt the squad is stronger.

£100M it'll be soon. Three new defenders, defensive midfielder, two attackers and two wingers...who (apart from Origi) will all be expecting to start.

You cant make wholesale changes like that without losing what you had. They'd have been better off taking the Suarez blow on the chin, regrouping and building again gradually. More than anything they needed to buy an out and out defensive midfielder to bale out an exposed CB department with the game they play. Can doesn't look like someone who'll do that.

Instead, the no mark has been let lose in the sweet shop and is buying up anything that takes his eye.

If I was a Kopite I'd see the summer as a minor disaster and be facing the season with trepidation.

This has been touched on before in this thread, and while it's something a lot of fans are guilty of, I do find Liverpool, more than any other are the worst for it...

If you go on RAWK, or listen to most of their fans in person, they have the best everything. The best player in the league last season (interchangeably one of the best 3 in the world they claimed), the best midfielder in the premiership, the best young talent in the league, the best strike force in the league last season, the best midfield, the best manager, while not the best defensive unit, the best individual centre backs and the white Cafu at left back, in fact find anyone but Johnson in their squad who they claim wasn't the best or one of the best in their position in the world. Yet they missed out on the title. How does that stack up? Bearing in mind that was the weakest United teams we'll see for a decades either way, Chelsea were without a striker, City were completely changing their style of play and Arsenal were still building. It's mind boggling.

Probably the same way Everton have a better team yet finish below them. It's not rocket science it is supporting your team and using another teams weakness to make you feel better about your own.

I imagine this has probably been posted before, but I only came across it today - reviews from Amazon of "They Dared To Dream", a book about Liverpool's glorious failure in season 2013/2014. The reviews are hilarious - makes you realise what a laughing stock they are to all football fans. The one below is a typical example:
"As a Barnet FC fan, I've been accustomed to never winning anything.

But this book is marvellous, this book performs a miracle by making it "cool" to not win anything.

Liverpool didn't win anything despite spending £154 million on transfers across the past 3 seasons (according to transferleague.co.uk)....
But this book portrays them as a team of "dreamers" who went so close.

I love it, it gives me hope that one day Barnet can spend over a hundred and fifty million pounds and still not win anything.
I can only dream".

Is it better than the Veet for Men reviews? Not sure I'll ever read anything funnier.

Yeah is been posted before, my own personal favourite review :

Get it while you can
By Meff Stelling - 8 July 2014
I tried to buy this in Waterstones but it was raining outside and I slipped. Whilst I was recovering Demba Ba nipped in and got the last copy. I hear it's a good read though and the ending is great.

The last time Liverpool won the league Jon Flanagan's mum and dad were just brother and sister.

Everton have won nothing in twenty years.

They have actually.

And you're trying to hide under the cover of the Bosnians.

That much is obvious my Rawk interloper.
