Still Citeh's to Lose

Brendan Rodgers. There he is, on the touchline, a massive bonce on a stocky little body, like an adult Charlie Brown, only with a lot more hair and self-confidence. Beaming away, he is. A man with a plan, and the plan is working. The polar opposite of David Moyes, in fact.


But things didn't start this brightly for Bren. Phone-ins were full of mournful Scouse voices this time last year, as Rodgers attempted to reorder the way his team plays. All right, there weren't exactly small planes flying over the ground (numpties!) but there was discontent. They didn't make the Europa League. Luis Suarez auditioned for the lead in the next Hannibal film and the rest of the team spent the season hitting post and bar more often that an inebriate Royal Mail employee.


So what's changed? Well, a hell of a lot. Not least the fact that not making the Europa League was a huge plus! (Man U and Everton take note! Maybe Sherwood has been drafted in at Spurs to avoid such inconveniences.).


More than anything, though, Rodgers has developed a squad which can alter its formation and still perform at a high level - and that includes several English players, too. That's right. Brainless automatons that have spent their lives simply adhering to a positional discipline and learning how to keep going at 90 mph for 90 minutes have been entrusted with taking on board more than one idea. Sturridge, Sterling, Henderson... all seem to be able to cope with the expectation of not having to play exactly the same way each week.


Roy Hodgson won't know what to make of this when the lot of them show up at training and asks him what the point of 4-4-2 is again.


Equally radical is the fact that Rodgers plays to his players strengths. Sterling roaming in the hole, or chopping and changing position with Sturridge and Suarez has worked beautifully, not least because the lad is more slippery than a greased eel in a bubble bath.


If you take his opposite number, the temporary boss of Tottenham Hotspur, Tim Sherwood, or indeed Moyes, you'll see how this apparently obvious policy is not always adhered to by Rodgers' contemporaries. Christian Eriksson on the left wing, anyone? Juan Mata wide right? Kyle Naughton anywhere near a first-team squad?


As someone who wasn't a rocket scientist once said 'It's not rocket science'. Plaudits have rained down on the eminently placid but lethal Suarez. That old crate of horseshit about nasty players needed to keep a healthy dose of malice or they'll lose something from their game doesn't seem to be true in his case, does it? I've never quite understood why utterly losing it once every five games is good for anyone.


But most of the superlatives are being reserved for the skipper Steven Gerrard with many old Anfielders unable to contain the warmth of their ejaculations. There's a certain late middle-age whimsy at work here. Gerrard represents that bit of we ageing souls that can do a good 40-odd keepy-uppies in the backyard and tell ourselves that we've still got it.


Gerrard is being touted as an English Pirlo now. Sitting in the pocket, a football-playing Joe Montana, a brandy in one hand and a fag in the other, absent-mindedly delivering forty-yard laser-guided missiles to the pacey front four to feed off.


Well he's not quite Pirlo, but he can still trot up to blast a free-kick in, roll in more than the odd penalty and you have to say he fits this new armchair as snugly as any man that ever sat anywhere. Liverpool are closer to the title now than ever they were under the stuffed-shirted dweeb that was Benitez - but then Rafa liked to use Gerrard as a right-winger whenever he could. The dolt.


But can this team hold it together til the season's end? And more than that, are they capable of turning over Citeh and/or Chelsea at home? Wonderfully, Rodgers managed to insist his team was taking the run-in one game at a time, adding that the next one was Manchester City when it is in fact West Ham away - all of which rather suggest the manager is getting ahead of himself a little.


As Palace proved on Saturday there are no gimmes in this league this season. (And there's four letters that make a fan happy - JT OG). Indeed you can't even take victory for granted if you've just taken the lead with 30 seconds to go, can you Baggies?


Spurs and Newcastle are losing the plot in rather similar ways to their gaffing gaffers. Sunderland's games in hand look meaningless, the way they're playing. Norwich and Hull are doing the two-forward three back relegation hustle and frankly it's like trying to predict how many roads a man must walk down before you can call him a man.


There are many reasons why it would be good for Liverpool to win the trophy this year: They're very entertaining; they don't quite have the financial clout of their two biggest rivals; and it's 25 years since Hillsborough - and a title would seem very appropriate this year.


Such sentiments would not deter Mourinho, whose trips to Anfield are still haunted by the Ghost Goal. Nor will Man City need to worry about working their way past the porous 'Pool back four. Then again Rodgers's S & S will be more than happy to be up against one of Lescott or Demichelis. I predict a 3-3. But I also can't help thinking Citeh will nick it in the end.

  3. If Liverpool do win the league,which would be lovely for all those Un**ed fans as well,then the only thing I won't enjoy is the legion of Ex-Liverpool players in the meeja creaming themselves with delight.

    The other people desperate for a Liverpool league title are the local thieves,as they'll have the pick of the town when the open bus parade takes place.

  5. Spot on, Robbo. Wonder if Hodgson could get away with sending out his charges to whatever position they play best and giving them some freedom to go at it.

  6. Nice one RR.

    I'm sure all the mickeys will be rubbing their hands with glee now that you've tipped Citeh. ;)

    Personaly, I still believe Citeh will do it, but no matter what happens, a tip of the hat must go to Brenda. Yes, he had no Europaan distraction, but fairs, fair, he's got that team playing very well and like you said, he's changing his tactics to suit the opponents and it's bloody well working.

    I wouldn't get too excited about the English players even though they are a very big part of Brendens success formula, because once they are away from the Liverpool training ground they will be under the England coaches and that is like a black hole for tactical awareness and application. None of that revolutionary "play players in their prefered position" mumbo jumbo will be used when in an England shirt, no no. Sturidge will be played as a winger, Stevie G as the front end of an attacking midfield and there might even be a place for Sterling in the back four. The only Liverpool player in Group Dplaying his natural position will be Luiz suarez, Gawd 'elp us..

    Speaking of which, Luis not Gawd, even though most on The Kop would proclaim him to be one in the same, he has been a revalation this season. I always thought he was a ticking time bomb and a liability and I honestly didn't think that leopard would change his spots, but credit where credit is due he really has turned it around. He's kept his nose clean and his teeth to himself and is the seasons standout player in the PL.

    Back to the PL, still plenty of twists and turns to come, more then enough time for Robbie savage to change the team he thinks will clinch it at least twenty times.

  7. Yes Robbo you mention it in your piece but I think it's worth repeating that Liverpool not playing in Europe and exiting domestic cup scene relatively early has allowed them to focus on the prem. They're great fun to watch but you get the feeling they don't have the depth they need to pull this off. It's like they're one twisted Gerrard ankle away from an awful come down off of the goods. And all this success will only make the job tougher next year....higher expectations of course but you'll have to deal with Champs league and bed in new talent. That said I hope they pull it off and then repeat next year. Hard not to pull for Montana.

    2. Lots of stuff in Germany is a lot cheaper then here.

      The Goverment, since Jan 1st, put extra tax on petrol to try and boost the National coffers. Big mistake, all the residents who live close to the German (or Belgian) border just get their fuel abroad now, meaning that most stations on the Dutch side of the border are closing and millions in revenue per day is going out og the country.
      They also raised the legal drinking age from16 to 18 in bars. Where do you think all thr border dwelling kids are going every weekend? yep op naar Deutshland, again costing millions.

Moyes better hope he draws or wins, or his days will be clearly numbered. He might yet have been forgiven if he went it with a young, attack-minded squad and lost. If he loses now, the knives are going to be out.

  21. I love a good conspiracy theory. The latest one (up to 30 minutes ago at least) involves Malaysian airliner MH370 and the little known, highly secretive US military base on the island of Diego Garcia (leased from Britain apparently). Motives for the hi-jacking by US military range from OS patents to secret arms information which would have fallen into Chinese hands had the flight been allowed to take it scheduled route.

    3. Here's an oldie-but-goodie that I recently heard repeated by a janitor at my school: Prince (the musician) was in a Middle East country giving a concert a week before 9/11, and he let slip that he expected to have some trouble getting home because the towers were going to fall. He was privy to this information because of his status as a card-carrying member of the Illuminati.

      My question - why is it always janitors who are telling me this weird stuff? My favorite was a gentleman who told me he was involved in some arcane process that would make him a "true citizen of America" and thus exempt him from taxation. I presume that would mean his vote would actually count, as well.

  23. AH I think you're going to have to admit that your were a better and nicer person when your team was shit.

    People are starting to like Man u fans now - being the butt of so many jokes is so..humanising. i know its a national failing - the stubborn refusal to take anything completely seriously (which is why as the psychopath Joey Barton says rooney who is more naturally talented than ronaldo, isnt as good as him) but i like it.

    by that measure of inverse success-of-your-team-vs-personal-attributes i must be some kind of amazing diamond geezer/best thing there is

    on joey, I do think he has the warrior gene Monoamine oxidase A (aka MAO-A) and I do think his consequent psychopathic were triggered by a tough/borderline abusive past (in fact there was recently a precedent set in the states where Bradley Waldroup was not executed because he has the warrior gene + was abused in childhood) but i'm sick of seeing Barton excusing his behaviour as being a product of his environment.

    His superficial charm, inch-deep intellect, manipulative behaviour, poor impulse control, violent tendencies and general lack of empathy are classic psychopath and lots of people grow up oin those kind of envirnments - I'm one of them - and don't exhibit this form of abusive behaviour.

  30. I'm going to go against my better judgement and say that with 5 games to go and a 10 point lead against 4th placed Arsenal, we have got our CL spot sewn up. As for the league, Man City are now full strength with Aguero back and no other competition to play in, so they are still favorites and you can never rule out Jose till the fat lady has sung, so I'll be thrilled to take 2nd spot and very happy to occupy 3rd. However, if we manage to nick a victory against city on the weekend, it will make things very interesting indeed.

    I also have to say it would be absolutely marvelous if the toffees make it to Europe too. Two young managers with little money to spend and exciting football to watch, making it to the CL would be fantastic for the game.

  34.

    Maybe its the pressure...they like to buy quality youngsters don't they arsenal, its good business because yuo can sell them on but wool always lack of been there done that experience when the heat is on. And the heat is on alright...no 4th AND no fa cup from this position and arsine is French toast. I think they'll do both btw but they need the first sting back in twanging the wire

    ReplyDelete
  35. Not sure if I agree with your string theory Blog, mainly because I couldn't unravel it.

    You have to be lucky when you buy "quality" young players. Sometimes they go on to be quality players but often they don't fulfill the promise shown at an early age.

    You are right Blog, lack of experience brings the younger player undone when under pressure. When the pressure is on character is as important as, if not more important than, skill

    The worse thing about finishing outside the top four is it makes it difficult to attract quality players (youth players not included.) That's also a problem when you are not winning trophies. Most top players are pretty mercenary where moolah is concerned but they also want to fill their cabinets with trophies. Title winning teams attract the top players. We have attracted some top quality players but due to a few trophy-less they moved on to greener pastures.

  36. Moyes is like one of those "quality" youngsters mentioned above. He showed a lot of promise but destined never to developed into a top manager. Under him Un**ed are set to emulate his previous team, Everton.... never quite good enough to break into the top four. Maybe Martinez will prove to be cast from the same mold.

  44. The old adage, "It's not what you know, but who you know," is certainly true here in the Philippines. Since I have been here, knowing people having connections has saved me a lot of time and hassle (at a cost mind you.) Most recently; I had to register my vehicle at the Land Transport Office. This can take up to a whole day to complete. With the aid of a friend I accomplished this task in less than an hour at a cost of 500 pesos. I drew the line, however, at paying an extra 7000 pesos to procure a drivers licence, instead opting to go through normal channels at a cost 8 hours of my time and 680 pesos .

  45. The reason Bells isn't here is that she's got The Yummy One's touchline sprint on auto rewind and she just can't take her eyes off it!

  46. I am possibly the futherist thing from a Chelsea fan, they embody everything that's wrong with football.......

    But, fairs fair, they got it spot on yesterday.

  47. And before I forget.

    Well done to Everton, they got exactly what they deserved out of that game Sunday, as did Arsenal.
