If you play for liverpool you MUST play to win. Nothing else is good enough!
OK

but I dont, if I did I would but unfortunatly I dont, but in the whole picture the 1st team is the priority and putting
players in the 1st team who you dont know who are completly match fit or youngsters who are good enough footballing wise but maybe not physical enough to cope with 1st team level is totally ridiculous but i bet you would be one of the first to give that particular player some grief if maybe he wasnt fit or got pushed of the ball that once to many
OK

Today's reserves are tomorrows first team, they must be taught to win TODAY.

I agree

[doogle]

get what? are you pissed? when you know how a REAL football club runs not how a computer would like you to think or want it to run like then come back, like i said before if it were the YOUTH teams performing dismally then i'd be worried and i would also like to be all conquering in every single level but its not going to happen cause the RESERVES are for recuperating and getting youngsters ready, thats the only time im repeating myself

Our reserves team is in effect a youth team with only the odd senior player thrown in.

exactly for the players just out of the under 18's to gain experience and strength, what about warnock, aurelio recently and crouch, bolo and then momo to come to name a few
unfair to think the reserves should win the reserve league with players R.B wanting to get ready for first team

I don't expect them to win the league.

But since the majority of them are youngsters who are expected to step up in a year or two, i'd like to see them win a few games.

I know most reserve teams are more of a casual less competitive thing, but our lot they are often playing physically stronger and more experienced players, so for them it should be a competitive level if you like. They need to learn how to step up and be real winners in that situation, not just have a run about, get beat, and then say 'oh I still learnt a lot today'. I just don't think we should be so blase about the poor results the reserves have had. It is an issue.

ablett is an excellent youth coach and that is why he has been brought in to the club , not because of his former ties with the club
incidentally what makes you think gary mac would be so good?
because he played well for us for a year?
not that i have anything against gary mac or that i dont belive he is/would be a good coach but some of the rubbish spouted here is ridiculous about ablett

[doogle]

well give them a year or two in the same the team, i'm not saying they shouldnt be winning but in the reserves i think its not always with gary ablett the final decision for selection

Apparently Rafa was looking specifically for someone with ties to the club. However Ablett wasn't the only one up for consideration, and Rafa was supposedly very impressed by him at interview. So he must have some talent as a coach if he's convinced Rafa.
