Who was LFC manager when you started supporting?

[Steveo]

No surprises there

Yep - spoilt… Those who started out with Bob were fed a diet of relentless winning… Winning so much it almost got boring, almost 😜

[justme]

Joke Strop started supporting LFC when it was under the reign of George Patterson, his second spell.. we're all glory hunters!

(yes i googled our former managers)

[Insidious]

Suppose it would have been late Souness/early Dalglish, though I don't think being fascinated by our Badge and kit as a very young child "counts" so I guess we'll say Evans

I’ll admit I was acting in part to gauge why ppl had the attitudes to certain things they did, for instance I’m aware a lot of the Souness Evans Houllier guys won’t likely know how Souness changing what he did caused us to fall from grace for over 2 decades and why seeing Slot repeating that combined with selling our best player to a rival as Souness did would freak me the fuck out as much as it has

A lot of people don’t seem to have the understanding of automation, positioning and movement off each other, muscle memory of a team built up over years over 3 or 4 different teams as we saw from Bob to Kenny and how disastrous messing with the blueprint can be as we saw with Souness and Evans compounding that

You can’t just take serial winners from a 433 with all that good stuff built up over 10 years and each position improved on until last year all knowing exactly what each other would do in any given situation or position and thrn put those players in a different formation and style and think it will work - This is why CCTV and his obsession with stats make him a football illiterate , he just doesn’t understand it most don’t, they think you can’t take these players and put them in any formation and it’s fine

Real too top level football, serial winning football just doesn’t understand not and will not ever work like that

[Ravo19]

Not sure I believe that 😉

No offence how you post and what you post

The other 2 seem older lifelong reds and Justme Kenny era but Shanks doesn’t seem to fit with you 😂

Not sure how to take that?
But was 12 when shankly left,i thought it was the end of liverpool at the time.
if we are using managers to judge ages jockstrap must have been early klopp era.

So from Shanks and the continuation of style through to Dalglish and thrn Souness ripping up thr blueprint and the 30 years of pair that caused you must surely understand the absolute importance of continuation of formation and style of play and how disastrous changing it can be

If 4 managers are amazingly successful with it for so many years and one changes it and it fucks everything up you surely have to see it

football and tactics/formations change over the years Mourinho & rafa's defensive style has been replaced by the high press.
i have been banging on about returning to 3 man midfield all season and giving us options with 3 upfront, 4 3 3 or 4 3 2 1 or 4 3 1 2.
would like to try 4 3 1 2 with ekitikie/gapko left attack----isak/salah right attack with wirtz/dom as the 10.

Gérard Houllier (RIP what a nice bloke) ...... then a nice little trebble in 2001 got me glory hunting for life init.. grew up with gerrard & owen

god bless Heggem, Berger, Djimi Traoré

1999/2000 was a big window, the houlier Rebuild... Hypia henchoz Westerveld and of course, Smicer hamann.... heskey

Not enough is spoke about Gérard Houllier.... one in a million

[JockStrap]

Someone should explain to that loon 19x that players get old (in football terms) and need replaced.

Sometimes a number of players get old around the same time and the squad needs rebuilt.

It's a never ending cycle.

The silly twat keeps acting like a spoilt brat.

Problem arguing about that is that we won a title NOT playing in a 4-3-3 too often last season. Szobsoslai played a lot of games as a 10. We played a lot of games, or large portions of games playing a 4-2-4.

And this is why Slot deserves his credit for winning the title last season. The idea that he's just taken Jurgen's team and just told them to carry on 'as you were' from last season is just laughable. It was quite clearly a different set-up from Jurgen's side. And it was just as effective.

The problem for Slot is that he's changed it again, but this time it's not working.

We'll see how stubborn he is, in how he sets us up going forward. If he continues the set up we're currently employing, we'll continue to struggle and he'll get the sack.

Souness 'ripped it up' with poor recruitment. It had little to do with formations / playing style.

It's incredible that you can watch football that long and still know nothing. Unbelievable really. I'd have guessed Rodgers for you.

[JockStrap]

It has been much more useful than that. You've exposed those who have watched football for decades and still don't have the first idea about the game. Including yourself.

Yep also worth remembering that Kenny left a squad with plenty of aging stars. Rush, Whelan, McMahon, Nicol, and Ray Houghton were all hitting 30…

Walters, Piechniik, Dicks, Ruddock, Clough and Stewart weren't even close!
