This.Managers. I think there is a lot of over-complicating, and over-analysis of things people know little to nothing about.
What I do know is that we play football. From what I’ve seen of the players in our squad throughout their careers - they should play better than they do for us. From what I see watching our team and other top sides - we have no consistent footballing style or strategy. The teams that DO have cohesive teams have much heralded managers. However, people on here love to delude themselves that they can actually string more than two accurate sentences about what Beguristain for example actually does better than others.
Liverpool put out the following XI that beat Barcelona 4-0 at Anfield:
Allison
Trent Alexander-Arnold
Joel Matip
Virgil Van Dijk
Andy Robertson
Fabinho
James Milner
Jordan Henderson
Xherdan Shaqiri
Divock Origi
Sadio Mane
People still seem to think we need to have the best XI in the world to perform with some self-respect. Unless Woodward, Arnold or any other suit is going to coach the side, then during the season, the responsibility of getting performances out of the squad of players rests with the manager and his staff. The players are good enough to have performed better than they have, for a long time. Half the caf want a whole Paul Pogba to be sold, while Pochettino has managed to get a tune out of Moussa fexking Sissoko all year.
Tired of the excuses and overcomplications. Our managers should get the most they can out of the squad they have, and when they can do that, I might shift my blame to the suits above for not getting them better players to go even further. But when you are losing at home to Cardiff City, the blame starts and ends at Carrington to me.
If someone told you 2 years ago a midfield of James Milner, Jordan Henderson, Wijnaldum, and Fabinho could win a CL what would your response have been?
