Dude, its not about accepting opinions, its about the way those opinions get expressed. And it isn;t about cliques either. Spend any time on any website and there are groups of regular posters you could describe like that... and go on any of the other major inde lfc websites and post that one of our players is a "tool" in a match thread, or anywhere, and see what the reaction from some of those regulars is. And it certainly isn't about KT, I'm one of the people you're probably referring to, and if you are, that's really really funny.

For some reason this season, there seems to have been a steady stream of new posters, who rather than explaining their slightly negative opinions, just post in a way that is very incendary and winds others up no end. And it make sthe whole forum generally unpleasant. If you read a lot of threads here, there are plenty of people who consistently post in the more critical vein, but their posts don't illicit bad responses because of the tone and reasoning they deliver it with.

Ultimately, this is a website for liverpool fans, and fans with the reputation fo being the most knowledgable and dedicated in the world, who support their team through thick and thin. Of course we criticise, but we always show respect for anyone who gives their all in a red shirt, and the club. That's what's supposed to make us the real "special ones."

Fair enough mate, i agree some people take things differently but it's when i/or someone says something outta line or against the general feeling so many on here are quick to jump down their throat and then the others jump on the bandwagon - it's those others who are the WUM's -this is what i'm getting at. I promise to behave but i can't promise not to be critical when i believe it to be so.

Nobody is a bigger fan of Rafa than me, but I still consider he made a mistake in not playing torres against Brum. This packed defence argument is nonsense in my book. Torres played against Derby, who played exactly the same tactics as Brum. In fact if torres doesn't play in games were the oposition play 4-5-1, he's going to spend alot of games on the bench. Also this implies torres is a one trick pony ie he needs to be able to use his pace or its not worth playing him.

I wouldn't swap Rafa for any manager but in not playing torres as often as possible in the league, I feel he's not giving us the best possible chance of winning the league.

Same formation different tactics

Defensively Birmingham were a lot narrower than Derby which means you need better wide play to exploit them and which means less space for forqards to run the channels

There is no problem with being critical
