    Hmmm - I'm always dubious about these claims that we or other teams lack leadership or are not mentally strong enough etc etc

    That certainly wasn't the case when we were winning trophies under Wenger with Vieira, Henry, Bobby, Campbell, Gilberto etc etc. I think what he really means is that we weren't good enough anymore. If your players are good enough you'll win games and be given credit for leadership, fight, mental strength etc etc etc

    Wenger didn't magically lose the ability to develop these traits in his players or to pick those that had them and not pick those that did not. He lost the ability to find players who were good enough.

    Certainly during the Cesc and Van Persie years we lacked a backbone. How many times did we truly believe we'd go away to a top team and beat them?

    With Almunia in goal, no defensive midfielder worth his weight in salt and an awful back four?

    Yeah that could be seen as a lack of a backbone, I suppose.

    I'm beginning to believe that Xhaka is a large part of the problem.

    He would not have called any of previous teams that.

    I suspect if he did he would’ve left the pitch kicked to pieces.

    -

    The guy is basically one of these two faced SJW retards.

    One hand - he plays the mighty whitey I’m Mr Manchester United role and Carragher must apologise to him on behalf of Liverpool...on the other hand no issue whatsoever about disrespecting fellow professionals.

    He’s fked in the head...he’s playing so many angles he’s nuts.

    Really disappointed with Carragher.

    Suarez did something wrong and he was punished. But that punishment shouldn’t extend to everyone else.

    What Liverpool did with the shirts is basically the same as sticking by someone whose doing time ie writing them letters, visits, sending them money etc etc

    Should never have apologised.

    'tis a classic
    'Seems that I was busy doing something close to nothing
    But different than the day before'

    Walkin' round like you're Pretty Boy Floyd'
