No Moyes is he

Seven points behind Liverpool with our injured to come back.

Derby win and the gap is closed right up.

….really? That’s a very low bar.

It’s gone from - lowest bar will be an improvement on Ancelotti finishing position to - let’s see if he can keep us up - within a matter of weeks.

The reality is this man does not actively manage or coach teams. He simply puts the players he has on the pitch with very limited or possibly no input from himself.

He then waits for the next transfer window and sees what that brings.

That’s not my definition of a top manager or even an average one.

Do you think we will win the Derby?

I think its more likely they put 5 past us

 

[d34noj]

We are both correct.

Crap results
Crap league position
Crap squad & Crap Manager

Never seen a Liverpool side not give 100% in a derby tbf.

I think if we get DCL and Doucoure back we take off.

This Liverpool team are flakey.

4 points from 6 last season.

They always seem up for these though Dave - last season with no fans was an outlier

…..but getting 45 points will be an achievement,

We’re significantly worse mate, we had limits last year, but loosing Jamo, Carlo, picking up injuries and not progressing when most of the rest of the league invested and progressed. You right on the change on manager to. Over all there is a depleting regressive atmosphere around the club.

I don’t think fans need to have anything, it’s not some happy clapp, group think, if your unsatisfied and I am with the club from top to bottom I’m going to call it, it’s nof a defeatist attitude, it’s highlighting the broken peices and canvassing for change or improvement, we know we’re not meeting a standard and I’m not going to lie that all is rosey and acceptable. The welfare of the club is paramount 40 points is my expectation. I expect nothing more then to hope to stay up this season, but I’m sure as hell going to point out that’s not good enough. Any other happy clappy stuff is wall papering over the cracks of poor decision making and governance at the club, colluding with that is defeatist in my opinion.

On a separate 59 points last season was a Poor return given the context too so that wouldn’t be a standard either in my opinion mate.

Thats fair.

Talk of staying up being an achievement just annoys me. Its not an achievement.

Benitez himself was talking recently about 8th not being enough. You cant then just change expectations because we lose a few games in poor fashion. Either he thinks 8th isn't good or not.

Under Ancelotti.

That's not what I said exactly.

Again, you let yourself down with the actuale.

 

[davek]

Under Ancelotti.

Yes, a fraud like that.
