Liverpool since Evans

[paulcooper4]

I think it was more to do with his misplaced faith in david James. Evans chased Friedel for ages, then hardly played him whilst James made error after error. This eventually led to the defence becoming shaky and uncertain, particulary from crosses. In the end, everytime we conceded a corner, you felt we would concede.

I still think if we'd had a top keeper we'd have won the title with Uncle Roy.

A top keeper probably would have made the difference that season, I agree

But overall, the defence was a joke, he just could not spot a good defender.

we've just won the fa youth cup two seasons in a row.

I doubt if many teams have ever done that.

[The Wolfman]

luckily they have a consistent team selection though.

Surely you don't mean the 'great' Phil Babb.

some of those teams Roy had, had alot of talent.

would love to have seen a strong disciplined manager with them boys.

[Robster007]

he will play them when they are ready mate. he hasnt spent all that time effort and money on this youth set up to never give them a chance.

There are a hell of a lot more than 3 of these kids capable of making it into the 1st team mate, trust me, I watch a hell of a lot of reserve/acadamy football.

Nemeth, Linfield, Barnett, Hammill, Parsonage, Leto, Francis, Pacheco, Adjaravic, Insua, Darby, Hobbs, Bouzanis, Ecclestone, Pourie, Plessis and Amoo are all players with more than enough potential and ability to make it not only into the first team, but to the very top of their profession.

Wether they do or not is down to attitude, luck and desire but every kid I have just mentioned has a ridiculous ammount of talent. If you dont believe me, watch them yourself.

You are so so wrong in not giving Rafa credit for this current crop of youth players.

The seasoned internationals at the club cant seem to handle the pressure of playing for us at the moment with all this **** thats going on, yet you think it would be wise to throw some of these kids in, like a lamb to the slaughter. Madness.

When the time is right, Rafa will give these kids a chance because they are good enough. He sees them in training every day so he has a better idea than us as to wether they are ready to handle the pressure yet or not.

In a rather large nutshell.

Thing is, the premier league has developed and moved on massively over the last decade and i dont think that Roy Evans would have been able to keep up with Ferguson and Wenger. They were looking to bring in top players from abroad and had a head start. I dont think Roy would have managed to succeed.

Sadly most of Houlliers signing were crap also. But the idea of change was the correct one for the sake of progression

as much as I loved Roy, he wasnt a tactical genius, but you could never doubt his love for the club.

I don't think anyone could have imagined that such a childish insult would be enough to reduce you, of all people, to tears.
