ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC" part 3

[maccavennie]

Villa have done exactly what utd done 1st half, just invite pressure for no reason and mess around at the back

 

[Neiler]

Better then Halland!

I hope it’s written in Norwegian and Malay on the other side!

Mate, they definitely won't be sitting up, as you need to be sat down to get the best stabilisation for their iPhone camera.

Nah, it's a gentle reminder that blocking the view of newer customer's ipads is acceptable as long as you met the £200 spend level in the club shop.

I’m surprised that they don’t have iPad holders on the seats in that new loft extension.

Sky today… “Nunez shooting boots arrive”. Must be the 5th or 6th time they’ve been returned

He'll be defended to the hill until he's not at the RS any more.

Still a pitiful return for a £85m player though - but the media always swerve that statistic at all costs

No he only cost a tenner, the rest is add ons.

Oh, I don't disagree. Just saying what we're all used to with the media when it comes down to defending their transfer "flops".

 

[Yarrgh]

Basically free when you consider the Coutinho money rolling in.

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

He'll be defended to the hill until he's not at the RS any more.

He’ll do nothing at the RS then they’ll end up selling him for around £150m because of how much the media here will have turned him into this world class player.

He was also far too big for his boots.

Peter Crouch has spoken on his podcast about how Gerrard and Carragher would basically decide if they'd like a player after one or two training sessions. He spoke about players being finished at Liverpool after their first training session. But he was speaking about it as a good thing; standards, and all that. But read between the lines, and what he was talking about was a captain who wasn't interested in his team mates well-being unless he deemed them good enough.

His attitude to new signings was never 'I'm the skipper, I'll do everything I can to help this new player settle in.'

Basically, during that period, if you weren't of the Alonso, Torres, Suarez ilk, and didn't show it almost immediately in training, then you would be treated like you didn't belong.

No surprise they've been a much better team since he hung his boots up. His 'all about me' attitude held them back for years.

As a Finn I've sometimes wondered what have gone through the head of Sami Hyypiä when he has watched Gerrard captaining the vermin. He was sidelined for this dude who, well, was a talented footballer but apparently a bit of an gasmole. Hyypiä after all was the "I'm the backbone of this team"-kinda stopper.
