yes, I don't denied that he brought them the 5th Holy Grail and
maybe a FA Cup along the way. But put that aside..and view them in
totality, Liverpool has not progressed as a whole.
1) past seasons, they survived on their defence, and this season,
they decided to add pace to their forwards, but how many times you
seen Bellamy or Pennant play? His transfers are questionable.
2) and comparing squad strength, their 1st team lost to the 1st of
Arsenal who is transitioning from youth. they lost 3-1.
3) and their 2nd team lost, 6-3. Yes, it is a freak result. But for
me, alarms will be sounded.
Comparing him to someone like MartinJol, Paul Jewell, David Moyes
or even Sam (Bolton), you can see progress, step by step. But for
Liverpool, I really don't lor.
Even as a MUFC fan, I do admire Gunners' youth policy. MUFC seems a
step behind. Yes, we won't have another class of greats like in the
90s, but we should have one or two pushing through. We do have the
2 best young players, but they are also bought, not found &
developed. So in the long run, if we don't produce excellent
players or buy correctly. The team that will dominate is
Gunners...
Last question, I heard one comment in the net that their infamous
song of "you'll never walk alone" is not actual theirs, but
"stolen". Anyone got any fact on that?
