RAWK Goes Into Meltdown (2011/2012)

In a way I feel sorry for Henderson, everyone thought he was a talented young player with a good future until he went to Liverpool. Surely his seemingly lacklustre performances are actually a result of mismanagement under Kenny and Liverpool than the improbability of him losing his talent overnight. There were plenty of people around these parts (albeit probably before I signed up) who would have given their left arm to have us sign him. Or is it just that he was always overrated because he's English and now that he's at a club that we aren't neutral towards, we are suddenly saying what we really think about him? He's still a talented young player as far as I am concerned, though that doesn't stop me taking the piss.
 
It shouldn't really come as a surprise though lads.

Since god knows when, they've always had the better players, managers than us etc - yet they never win anything :lol:

Gerrard is actually TBPITW
Suarez is better than Rooney/Van Persie, probably up there Messi/Ronaldo
In a couple of years their midfield is going to be the equivalent of Barca's
Skrtel and Agger is actually the best CB's in the world
Ditto Reina, Johnson etc

Yet they're in the mighty 8th place on the log. Refs, corruption, the FA, SAF and all that.

If it wasn't so hilarious, it'd actually be really sad!

He was mediocre for Sunderland last season - but no one wanted to believe this. He had a great breakthrough season, but then last season, just seemed to meander around the pitch not really doing much - pretty much like he's done at Liverpool this season.

Not atrocious by any means...but he isn't a tackler, he obviously isn't a Lampard, but then he doesn't really organize things and keep play ticking over either.

So what is he?

Average
 
He's fecking shit. Seriously average player.

Sunderland was just about his level. Only been hyped up, and then bought by Liverpool, because he's English. They seem to have a fetish for buying overrated, overpriced, english players...Johnson, Henderson, Downing, Carroll....

I think whiskeynose will be sacked before King Kenny. His record in Europe is embarassing, he's spent £100m on Anderson Hargreaves Berbaflop etc. Amazed the board have stuck with him. Under-achieved given the resources at his disposal.

Genuine text i've just received from a mate who's a Liverpool fan.

Apart from him surely baiting rather than genuinely believing what he's written, how do I respond to that?
 
:lol: hasnt Kenny spent £110m in 15 months alone? Thats gone well.

Hargreaves and Anderson played in a winning CL final.

Berba'flop' has won PL trophies.

Other than just LOL. I wouldnt know what else to say back.

My Liverpool supporting mate, who used to be quite sain and one you could actually talk to, has now stopped reading the papers as their is a conspiracy in the press against Liverpool. :lol:

He's normally relatively sane for a Liverpool fan too, but apparently he's serious.

I am serious, as an example every home game you have 35000 more fans paying 50 quid sat 25 home games pers season. Thats £45m each season without all the other icome. Where does this money go? On players wages ergo underachieved... you have bought the prems but the acid test is against European teams where your record is embarassing.

I'm genuinely lost for words...

I'm genuinely lost for words...

Tell him no manager has won more than two Champions Leagues and only Real, Barca and Milan have won more CL titles than United (3 each). He needs to realise that the Champions League is not the European Cup.
 
Show him our European record? The clean sheet records, home games without losing, amount of times we reached the final, how often we won it etc.
 
Is that serious?

I really don't know what to say to that.

Unfortunately, yes he was serious. Just when you think they can't reach a greater height of dellusion.

Tell him no manager has won more than two Champions Leagues and only Real, Barca and Milan have won more CL titles than United (3 each). He needs to realise that the Champions League is not the European Cup.

Aye, I said that about managers' record. He'll inevitably refer back to the pre-CL era though. Even if it wasn't the same format in the European Cup era.

Show him our European record? The clean sheet records, home games without losing, amount of times we reached the final, how often we won it etc.

Precisely. If not for Barca (one of the bect first XI's in recent memory), we'd have won 3 Champion's Leagues in the last five years.

I hate getting into the whole would have/should have arguments with a Liverpool fan.

I'm just baffled at the level of dellusion some rival fans hold.

It's far from a certainty that we'd have beaten Hiddink's Chelsea and Mourinho's Madrid.

.

Dalglish has already been sacked twice while Fergie has been here. He walked away from his other two jobs so the shit he left behind could be blamed on others. It's difficult to choose which of the two will happen this summer.
 
With Comolli sacked RAWK are now blaming pretty much all the shit signings on him. The ol' "see they weren't Kenny's signings at all".

KKK now has a free pass for this year and surely will be there next year.

Happy days.
 
Heardy, tell him to stop watching the History Channel.

If it wasnt for Ferguson we wouldnt have the luxury of having a stadium to hold those 35,000 extra seats. Thats down to his success.

Without him its likely that OT would be as outdated as Anfield.
 
On Comolli's 'sacking by mutual consent':

Rafa in, co-manager with Kenny, win FA cup then PL then CL, solved.

Very happy we acted this way and it shows that we arent going to accept 8th or 10th or 15th or wherever we end up.

What happens at the end of the season now? If Liverpool end up 8th, 10th or 15th are they just gonna say "No we didn't"?
 
Reminds me of Chelsea's Ramires, Henderson, actually.

Reminds me of Ben Watson from Wigan. Solid - little flashes of brilliance here and there. 'Comfortable' on the football field.

Playing him on the right has been an utter failure. He's spent most of his time being anonymous.

So what is he?

Whenever i've seen him play for England U21 he's actually played decent, still played a few dodgy passes here and there but he was bursting box to box, probably because he had a lot more time to make decisions but i think there is still potential for him to be a good player for Liverpool. Maybe not a first-teamer but close.
 
Liverpool director of football Damien Comolli leaves club
Liverpool director of football Damien Comolli has left the club by mutual consent, the Reds have announced.

Comolli was appointed by club co-owners John W. Henry and Tom Werner following their takeover of the club in September 2010.

He oversaw a major spending spree which included the signings of Andy Carroll for £35m and Luis Suarez for £22.7m.

Comolli said: "I am happy to move on from the club and go back to France for family reasons."

He added: "I am grateful to have been given the opportunity to work at Liverpool. I wish the club all the best for the future."

The announcement was made as Liverpool prepare for their FA Cup semi-final against Everton at Wembley on Saturday.


Liverpool's head of sports science and medicine Peter Brukner has also left the club. The Australian, who has also worked with with the swimming, athletics and hockey national teams in his home country, arrived at Anfield in 2010 after a spell with the Socceroos at World Cup in South Africa.

Liverpool chairman Werner said: "The club needs to move forward and we now have a huge game on Saturday. It is important that everyone joins us in supporting the manager and gets behind Kenny [Dalglish] and the team and focuses on a strong finish to the season."

Principal owner Henry added: "We are grateful for all of Damien's efforts on behalf of Liverpool and wish him all the best for the future."

Comolli, 39, was appointed by Liverpool in November 2010 to work alongside former manager Roy Hodgson.

At the time of his appointment the Frenchman said Hodgson, who was replaced by Kenny Dalglish in January 2011, had the final say on all transfers.

He said his role was identifying targets and meant he was responsible for overseeing Dalglish's £112.8m spending spree last year.

As well as Carroll and Suarez, the Reds also paid a combined £36m for Aston Villa winger Stewart Downing and Sunderland midfielder Jordan Henderson.

Last September Comolli said he was not looking for new players as he believed Liverpool's squad was "complete".

Following Comolli's departure, Dalglish said: "He has been really helpful in every transfer target that we've gone for.

"Everyone who has come into the club since Damien has been here was of my choice.

"Once I made the choice who I wanted, Damien went away and did a fantastic job of bringing them in.

Nice try RAWK, but Kenny is the reason why your team has Henderson, Downing and Carroll in it.

Nevermind, these quotes are probably fake. They were made up by the Anti-Liverpool media (which is everyone) to try and unsettle them before there FA Cup clash. I'm sure Whiskeynose has something to do with this.
 
With Comolli sacked RAWK are now blaming pretty much all the shit signings on him. The ol' "see they weren't Kenny's signings at all".

Keep Kenny @ Klanfield or KK@K .....

I can feel an internet digital revolution in the air ....
 
I don't know where to begin with this one...

Today's actions remind me of this scene from The Godfather. Swift, brutal, no sympathy
 
They are going mad for Henderson over there:






I think he is a better player than some give him credit for on here but this is too much. I would take the likes of Huddlestone, Lansbury, Cleverly over Henderson.

:lol:

And all it took was one dicky last minute win against relegation-battlers Blackburn.
 
Damn, surely they can't be serious??

Of course they're serious, it's RAWK - the sane individuals get drowned out by the loons over there, it's fantastic!

And yes - this has been a vintage RAWK Meltdown season. We've had the promise of Kenny bringing the title back to Anfailed, Suarez gate, struggling to beat a Championship side in the Lager Cup and now Camolli's sacking...they must have to run their forums on a NASA like server because there's no way a normal one could take all that strain year-in, year-out.

"Leave the drunk...sack the Comolli."
