Post-mortem Northampton

[Maxiedge]

Of which none have been given a proper shot yet, I'm sure you can appreciate that. Jones, first game tonight, Konchesky, played two games only. Poulson; played only a few games as he's not been fit. A Danish International who's played for some decent clubs, namely Juventus and AC Milan.

What about Meireles, Cole. You've forgotten about them too, really decent creative players.

Give him so time bud, I know you're upset but don't let being down cloud your judgment.

Ok sure

I'll be the first to take everything back if things are looking better in 5 games time.

Mods, could you please merge this thread with every other thread in the Liverpool forum to keep this discussion all together in one place?

[Fivex]

Has he done the post match interview? Not seen anything in this thread??

Lec, Rafa was unlucky not to have Gerrard/Torres for large parts of the season last year. Doesn't excuse Rafa for buying a sh*t Italian and forcing us through a whole year of f*cking Lucas and Masch in the middle! If Roy gives us more Lucas in the middle in the league then I very much agree with you, he won't finish anywhere near 4th. He'll have successfully done a Rafa on us.

Lucas wasn't the problem last season. Gerrard being **** almost all season was a far larger issue. Lucas played well last season.

Should of kept Insua

I don't want this argument again, but it has to be asked whether or not Insua actually wanted to stay or not. When Roy came in he said he rated Insua but it was out of his hands.......

[Lecter]

Correct. But then if Reina gets injured what happens? and we've already seen the problems a lack of LB' can do for the club.

We could of kept Cavalieri

This is what I dont get

We gave Cavalieri away and signed Brad Jones for £2.5 million and before anyone starts talking quotas that can be debunked straight away

Then we have ****ed off Insua who admittedly wasnt any good but was young and maybe we could have improved and spunked over £5 million on a 30 year old who is also not very good and is highly unlikely to improve

The economics of it make no ****ing sense whatsoever

I think they both performed to an equallly ineffective standard.

For Lucas, that was 'well'. For Gerrard, '****'.

Cole's overrated, Meireles maybe good - the other two are somewhere between average and ****.

Cole has played twice in the PL. Raul is "maybe good" after one game. The others have played once/twice. If you were in Roy's position, what would you have done? Talked Mascherano out of it? Kept Insua who is even worse than GJ defensively? Face reality.

No worries chief,



We'll get better mate I'm sure.

[JohnDoe]

If you were in Roy's position, what would you have done?

I would have stayed at Fulham and let Kenny take the job.

They had extremely different roles though, while Lucas was not good enough going forward, that was the main part of Gerrard's game and last season it was almost non-existent. In my view Lucas was a better player for us last season than Gerrard was (before anyone says, that is not the same as saying Lucas is a better player than Gerrard).

To loan out Aquilani for free was also a complete joke. I would have understood it if we had got £4m-£5m for that one year loan but Juventus picked him up on a free for a year

Roy should have laughed at that offer and not accepted it.

I don't think the decisions are his to make tbh.

Yep. And you would have been b1tching about him 6 weeks into the season too.
