I've not given up on Sturridge either. We'll see how he gets on for the rest of the season.

Made me chuckle, but you do need to pull yourself together for the next transfer window Munch, you can make a lot of changes then. All, apart from me are first timers at this, and you do have to select your squad with a half season in mind to do well. Last season I had 9 at one point on the injured/banned list, but I still did OK.

) could see what an exceptional player he was. Even though we had many poor displays in the second half of 12/13 under KK in just 18 months it should be said that we had many great results too - 3 wins away at CFC, knocking both EFC and MUFC out the FAC, winning the League Cup beating MCFC the reigning champions over 2 legs on the way, an away win at AFC in the PL, getting to the FAC final so I think those who dismiss his reign as a failure are ignoring the facts. You also have to remember where we were the day he took over - in a worse place than I can ever remember LFC being. I know people will not like me referring to it again (as I feel like I am a lone voice on DS in my view of what went on) but I also cannot minimise the disruptive influence of the racism stuff and its fall out. KK was vilified by all for his so called bad PR and that totally derailed the one full season he got. I do not want to discuss it again as people know what I think and I know what others think - we will agree to differ but what cannot be denied I think is that it had a big negative effect on the way the season went.
- but to briefly go onto BR, I think the way he utilised LS was great, no disagreement there. I still think the nearly season was more to do with LS inspiring his team mates to raise their levels than BRs motivational skills - but you are right the players on the pitch suited LSs game more - Coutinho and Sturridge in particular. If you analyse BR after 2 seasons at LFC you would call him a success but looking at the larger picture of his whole reign it is hard to do so. If you look at LFC under BR post LS it is hard to label BR as some kind of master tactician cos in almost every game we played relatively poorly - yes I know he had injuries to key players but every team has them and they are still able to perform at a decent level - which LFC did not do for the last season and a bit of BRs reign. The current players are prob not as good as at the so called top clubs but they are not that bad either and I do think JK will be able to achieve quite a bit with them - we have seen that already and most of us are looking to the future with some excitement and optimism again
