Wow, so much condemnation of the manager. I tend to disagree.
I feel that he could have done 2 things better : (1)play Maxi instead of Lucas from the start (2)play Carra at leftback instead of Kelly and Sotirios at CB. That may have made a difference.
Nevertheless, I thought Kuyt played well and Torres should have scored from his assistance in the second half. When a player like Lucas continuously make mistakes, it causes others to become nervous and they in turn make mistakes. I think RH has given Lucas enough opportunities to salvage his career in LFC!
I believe, RH is trying to lift pressure off his players' shoulders because there's just been too much expectations during RB's time. Also, every manager has his own style - we cannot afford a more swashbuckling and charismatic manager, no thanks to the yanks : what to do?
As far as the group is concerned, LFC is still in a strong position. That's all that matters for now.
Cheers guys ... chins up for Blackpool this weekend!
Carra at LB is dangerous.. any fast winger will rape that side. This maybe blasphemous for some but Carra should be a backup CB by now.. not first choice anymore.
RH talking some demotivate craps every game is not helping the player lift some burden. It may actually depress them more knowing their manager already has a low expectations even before the game starts. The squad RH inherited is not that bad as most people said.. he did added some quality in Cole, Raul and Jova but the tactics he used is not working and led to this mess. How many games should he take to find his best tactics anyway? He doesn't show any glimpse of progress at all.
I dont believe some are still slagging Rafa. He is MILES better that RH.. Thats a fact. His last season was bad but it's no way to sum up his whole reign at liverpool. He was the one who made the team is feared in Europe again after so many years. Bringing the CL back home was a feat that no crappy manager can do.
And the club paid 6 million pounds to ask RB to leave and install a muppet as a replacement? sigh...
