I certainly don't see much warmth towards the manager from the player a lot of the time.

I can only go on the scousers opinions and those i know didn't think they played that well or think Liverpool 2016 at full strength is a particulary frightening prospect. It was like some semi-pro boxer faced with some overweight middle-aged drunk picking a fight with them. Quiet satisfaction they knocked him out, but they're not going to brag about it

Derby in 08 were a genuinely poor side, hideously out of their depth. They tried hard but did not have any sort of quality to compete in this league.


Funny you should mention them, as Sunday was very reminiscent of this:

Garde was pretty vocal about the poor performance against Norwich. Did that rattle cages?
more like they spat out their diamonte dummies out.

God that is sad to watch, just looking at the players we had... Barry, Young, Mellberg, Carew, Bouma, etc.

We did not go into this game on a bad run so the confidence should have been flowing, but from minute one we never looked like we were going to compete, whether that is because something had happened during the week and it was the nucleus of the side said "Up yours Garde", which I happen to believe to be very near the mark, as it also showed in Remis seemingly lack of reaction, as if he was nearly expecting it.
Whatever the course, please please , please Liverpool were only middling average, the one thing we are guaranteed, if we are not on the top of our game, because of the dirth of quality and lack of creativity and a goal scorer we are gonna get beat.

I've heard the players were sulking Sunday because an overseas trip to the sun was cancelled., cost cutting.

I watched a programme on channel 5 last night, based on British people who live or holiday on the cheap to Benidorm.

The place that featured was called "Villa Mare", that's about the level our players deserve as an overseas trip if anyone else watched it.

If it was cancelled for cost reasons, then the club are totally barmy (Sunderland, I note, have gone off to the sun; interesting to see how their form goes in two week' time). And, it does not augur well for the future if the club are cutting costs in this way.
Equally, the players are completely smallminded if that leads them to effectively withdraw their labour for an important game.

I  have no inside info on this but find it completely plausible. Our team is in at a freezing cold Bodymoor heath while others are training in the sunshine on a break /team bonding exercise. I heard that Leicester are in Vegas?  Look what team spirit has achieved for them this season. God knows we need that spirit more than anyone right now.  So yet more dimwit money saving decisions by the clowns running our once mighty football club.

Fuck them, they can train in the cold.

They've run less than any other team and got themselves relegated before the trees blossom, they can fuck off with their mid season trip to Dubai.
