WhistleHappy Posted January 6, 2020 Report Share Posted January 6, 2020 ….not to #### about like they did against Shrewsbury on Saturday, and for half the season come to that. Enjoy your few days off Boys and ponder what might have been - & what, if you're lucky , you might get the chance to fight for in a perfectly avoidable replay.. Whose gonna make the squad? Whose gonna be benched? Who's gonna muss out altogether....? A lesson to be learned for one or two of our lot... You're only as good as your last game! Have you done enough?? Sweet Dreams Boys !

Kibs Posted January 6, 2020 Report Share Posted January 6, 2020 7 minutes ago, CotswoldRed said: Will be slightly infuriating if the players suddenly "switch on" Exactly and I bet they do. This may just prove what I’ve always felt is problem - never been convinced about LJs ability to motivate the players, especially through tougher periods. Now they have the motivation of a potential game against the best club team in the world. Will they raise their game over the coming weeks?

Loco Rojo Posted January 6, 2020 Report Share Posted January 6, 2020 Sometimes, just sometimes moments like this are enough to give 1 or 2 the kick up the ass needed. Perhaps (you just dont know) this could be the catalyst for ending this hump we're in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may have been on the same management course as me! The truth is everyone will be motivated by a fourth round tie against Liverpool. The real concern is that the Shrewsbury lads will be more motivated than ours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first game I saw on tv was Liverpool. They play in red like City, and the first live game I saw was City v Liverpool (1-0 Royle). I like lots of other teams for a variety of reasons.

steviestevieneville Posted January 6, 2020 Report Share Posted January 6, 2020 Some saying , the players might switch on for it as they are not at the moment. Rio Ferdinand said the other day, players tend to switch off subconsciously when they haven’t got belief in the manager. Let’s see if the master tactician re focuses so he can put his astute footballing brain against Klopp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never liked Liverpool because of their success, but admired what they achieved and ALWAYS wanted them to win when they were in European competition, the same as all English teams, my favourite player of theirs was Souness, he wasn't just a dirty player he had a ton of skill too, like Gerry Gow. Now I really enjoy watching them under Klopp, breathtaking at times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
