No. We pay lot of money to watch so being critical comes with the ticket.
Football isn't the same as going to the theatre, though, so that argument is a bit flawed.
My criticism of Mcleish is that he has artificially lowered expectations. I feel certain that at that meeting in corsica he persuaded Randy we were certain to go down this season, and anything else would be a success. He has persuaded the players that a defensive draw is the best they can hope for. He has confected an air of crisis to insulate himself from blame. I support the club and support the team and want to support the manager but he makes it so hard when he is so pessimistic. I just don't believe we're as bad as he thinks.
Houllier was hounded on here. As have many, if not all managers.Houllier tried to change the style of one dimensional MON and got criticised by the aloof footballing geniuses we have on here. The reality is, he identified our inability to defend for 90 minutes nor set pieces and called the team in for twice daily training. The players who needed the additional coaching, Primarily Dunne and Collins were most notably the most vocal from the squad in their resistance. Low and behold, the current manager in his attempts to get the same most vocal players in the squad has been let down by the same players.Let's no let that cloud reality though, Houllier is now seen as visionary!I even read on here about Makoun being an answer to some of our problems from the same tactical genius's that frequent the board that were overly critical about the experienced CL player.
I liked Houllier.
