I think he's made good overall progress and feel it's too early to give up on the current 'project'. <br /><br />Saying that though I don't think he (or anyone at the club) shouldn't be questioned on their performance. He's made mistakes and we need to know he's aware of it and is planning to rectify them. If things continue as they are then it will be time to look at his position but at the moment I feel it's too early.bumbling-idiothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16495804597828011304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6838938198286000641.post-87224195032486711672012-03-29T16:43:28.112+01:002012-03-29T16:43:28.112+01:00Thanks for your comments, theyre much appreciated....Thanks for your comments, theyre much appreciated. And youre far from being a bumbling idiot!<br /><br />I have asked lots of questions, and provided very few answers, because I dont know the answers. What I do know is this season was a great opportunity to break back into the top 4, which was FSG's target this season, and we have failed. And I believe that is due to the signings.<br /><br />For whatever reason Downing has failed to deliver, whether hes not up to it, or hes not being coached to best effect I dont know<br /><br />Im not happy with 7th place and nor should any Liverpool fanLovelyTouchForABigManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12641655125354253551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6838938198286000641.post-72180530640773197992012-03-29T15:55:48.929+01:002012-03-29T15:55:48.929+01:00You ask a lot of questions but don't offer any...You ask a lot of questions but don't offer any answers of your own.<br /><br />For instance, you said we went out and bought the best English player available for our much needed weak left wing. If we didn't get Downing who would have been better? Who was available, would sign for a club with no european football and accept the same wages that Downing would? Out of players we were realistically linked with I think Downing was the best option. He wasn't an exciting prospect but you know what you'll get from him. His performances have been getting much better of late and I think next season people will have a very different opinion of him. £20m was a heck of a price but do we know how much of that we paid and how much is performance (winning league, champions league football, goals scored etc) based? Also his wages wouldn't be astronomical like a lot of options so over a 4 or 5 year contract we might save more than that £20m in wages compared to other options.<br /><br />Another point was about having a better squad but weaker XI, the opposite of Benitez. Both failed to bring Liverpool glory but which way would you rather have gone? If we went for a stronger XI how badly would we have struggled with the injuries and suspensions we've had to deal with? Ideally we want both a great XI and a strong squad and I think that is what we are building towards. Unfortunately that takes time and money. Dalglish and Comolli went for a stronger squad first to establish a stronger base to build upon. It isn't so exciting but knowing how Comolli and FSG like their numbers perhaps it is what was judged as the best route for long term success. We need to remember how far we have come in the 18months since FSG took over.<br /><br />I hope this didn't come across aggressive, just trying to have a friendly debate and offer a few opinions and points of view to look at.bumbling-idiothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16495804597828011304noreply@blogger.com
