HighPeakFox Posted 31 December 2018 Share Posted 31 December 2018 Bookies are there to make money and cause people to speculate - much like we're doing here. So might they be manipulating it to generate income? Quite possibly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a huge difference huge. Wonder if there is going to be movement. Something must of been said for the bookies to to drop that much Because someone will have seen 100/1 and thought "that's worth a tenner". Nothing to do with anything else.

So, 7 wins, 6 defeats and 6 draws at home in 19 games, or a return of 27 points. Home form table this season: https://www.soccerstats.com/homeaway.asp?league=england Extrapolate to a full home campaign: 1. Liverpool - 53 2. Man City - 51 3. Arsenal - 44 4. Chelsea - 40 5. Man Utd - 40 6. Spurs - 38 7. Brighton - 34 8. Everton - 34 9. Bournemouth - 32 10. Watford - 28 11. Leicester - 27 12. Wolves - 27 13. West ham - 25 14. Cardiff - 25 15. Fulham - 23 16. Burnley - 19 17. Crystal Palace - 17 18. Southampton - 15 19. Newcastle - 13 20. Huddersfield - 10 Slightly below where we realistically want to be aiming (7th-10th) but not as bad as you're making out. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has to be substance to it for it to fall. I know what your saying but realistically either many people have got false information or there is movement. I always wanted Benitez but when I've actually looked Into it I'm not sure it's a direction for the long term. Don't think many of our youth would play. I think we would be more successful under him thou. I used to live and get excited about leicester games now I'm literally like oh yea we are playing sat or tomo etc Tbh, I would like to see some evidence that he was ever really 100/1.

I think if we were winning the home games by the odd goal by committing more, people would be understanding....... People wouldn't be understanding. They start accepting it as we're winning, then eventually they'll get bored of the style of play and the whole game starts again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlloverthefloorYesNdidi Posted 31 December 2018 Share Posted 31 December 2018 I'm sure Benitez would love to come here and work for our staff. Could probably learn a lot of tactical nous from our sports massage therapist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Liverpool documentary exposed Rogers as a bit of a clown in my opinion, and I don’t see Benitez as a match for us. As has been said, his football is very defensive which everyone seems set against. It is also well known in the sports science world that Benitez has no time for sports science, especially data analysis which we are regarded as one of the best at, and a big part of our recent successes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was aghast at that c5 documentary on Rodgers and how amateur he appeared. He really did come across as a punter winging it rather than a professional at the top of his field. A scene sticks with me when signing Joe Allen. Rodgers was largely pre occupied with what number Allen should wear, as if it actually mattered. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shailen Posted 31 December 2018 Share Posted 31 December 2018 I'm Puel out but Benitez isn't the man. His sides are always defensively set up. We would play better football under Puel for sure. We need someone of the Klopp mould - who brings energy to the team to go out and put 110% in week in week out and can motivate the team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gevans_97 Posted 31 December 2018 Share Posted 31 December 2018 If another manager comes in we’re basically hitting the reset button. Things arent bad enough that we should risk another year of system changes, new players coming in to fit different philosophies etc. I do feel like we’re close to making it work with Puel. We could have beaten Cardiff 2 or 3 nil if we’d have just taken our chances. Keep the faith! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lifted*fox Posted 31 December 2018 Share Posted 31 December 2018 the thing that annoys me most about him going before the summer is that as always; we will have done zero fvcking work to find a suitable replacement who can continue to build on the good he's done and we will spend three weeks sifting through all of the absolute dog-turd shite that is currently out of management and end up settling for someone who is no better and off we go again on the same stupid ****ing merry-go-round bullshit we do every single ****ing time. our manager recruitment strategy is absolutely wank 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
