What is wrong with Liverpool?
Liverpool FC is not just a football team. Since the day Bill Shankly to the legendary reign at Anfield, Liverpool FC was different from all other teams in the world. Fans have become accustomed to playing for success throughout the year Shankly, football as it should be played and the winner's trophy after trophy at home and abroad. Even after his retirement Shankly this tradition - often called the "Liverpool way -. On by the success of Bob Paisley, Joe Fagan and Kenny Dalglish Although the post brought Dalglish trophies at Anfield, including an unprecedented fifth European Cup is twenty years since the Kopit saw their team lift the Championship. So what happened?
Dalglish - Continued
Kenny Dalglish is a unique case in modern football. A man made, the transition from star player, the player / manager conveniently, by the side and to the Title. Life immediately after Dalglish was difficult for Liverpool fans, but Liverpool still the defending champion in the time and locked in a title race with Arsenal. Despite an aging team, it was still boast a page like John Barnes, Peter Beardsley, Jan Mølby, Ronnie Whelan and Ian Rush - more than capable of printing on the title next year. With Ronnie Moran at the helm until the end of the season Liverpool finished second behind Arsenal in this year, but to protect those who "seek to Liverpool way, another passionate Scot was lined up to lead the side.
Souness
Graeme Souness was an icon in Liverpool. He returned to the club he was captain of so much glory of a successful transition as head of the Rangers and seemed a natural choice to succeed Dalglish. What seems natural, but as it was degraded rapidly, which actually win a championship side. Mølby, Whelan, Beardsley, Nicol, Staunton and Houghton were all the day to barley than 30 years. In came Dean Saunders, Don Hutchinson, Mike Marsh et al, all the good players in their own right, but not won the title caliber of those they replaced. Liverpool finished eighth Year that the fans and many to this reform suddenly one of the strongest leagues teams as a turning point in the history of Liverpool FC. In one year, Liverpool had gone from title challengers Wed on one side of the table. The only positive point is the emergence of Steve and Jamie Redknapp Macmanaman.
Back to Basics
Roy Evans - Despite winning the FA Cup in '92, the fans and the board quickly lost patience with Souness and after a severe heart attack, he was replaced by one of the famous Boot Room. In Evans, Liverpool has been expansive for its flair and style known attacks. Pass and move, "was the philosophy and play a 3-5-2 formation looked divine presented as a defense terrorized young Robbie Fowler. The Reds, however, was for its soft core and a number of signatures, the defense had no influence known. People like Phil Babb, John Scales, Rob Jones, Stig Inge Bjørnebye and Bjorn Kvarme all starts well made, but made little difference to defensive weaknesses of Liverpool. About four first places and performances in the UEFA Cup has given up hope short side, but never really Evan for a resumption of Manchester United moved. In 1998 the board decided to put up former France manager Gerrard Houllier beside Evans as co-manager to work. " The idea was that from the outset doomed to failure and Evans had disappeared before the end of the season.
The French Revolution
Houllier has begun what he described as a five-year program for the team from 1999 again. This summer, were sold out Paul Ince, David James, Jason McAteer, Rob Jones, Tony Warner and Steve Harkness, while Steve McManaman left for Real Madrid on a free. At the same time, seven new players, Sami Hyypia, Dietmar Hamann, Stephane Henchoz, Vladimir Smicer, Sander Westerveld, Eric Meijer and Djimi Traore were all signed. In addition, the training at Melwood in Liverpool have become obsolete.
Rebuilding began the next year with the signing of Markus Babbel, Nicky Barmby, Pegguy Arphexad, Gregory Vignal, Emile Heskey, Gary McAllister, Christian Ziege and Igor Biscan, but the departures of David Thompson, Phil Babb, Dominic Matteo, Steve Staunton ( second), Brad Friedel and Stig Inge Bjørnebye.
The efforts have led to a result in the successful 2000-01 season, when Liverpool won a hat-trick of Cup League Cup, FA Cup and UEFA Cup and finished third in the Premier League. Liverpool won the FA Community Shield against Manchester United and UEFA Super Cup against Bayern Munich. But Liverpool still not readily the top of the Premier League season 00/01 and was as good as it has for Houllier.
In the 2002-2003 season ready to qualify Liverpool in the Premier League fifth, or otherwise for the next season in the Champions League. Critics accused the signatures Houllier was unsuccessful in 2002: El Hadji Diouf (Lens, £ 10,000,000), Salif Diao (Sedan, £ 5,000,000) and Bruno Cheyrou (Lille, £ 4,000,000) and his inability to move Nicolas Anelka permanent loans for the signing of Diouf ineffective. Liverpool had an overhead kick, leaving Houllier May 2004 by mutual agreement.
Viva the Rafa-lution
Rafa Benitez arrived on Merseyside with a very good reputation. He had led his team Valencia in the Primera Liga title, breaking the monopoly of Real Madrid and Barcelona, and if the Reds had taken Valencia in Europe, they played outside and beaten.
The 5-year plan under Gerrard Houllier was torn apart and rewritten with another team rebuilding. However, Liverpool fans have followed the launch of this site Valencia Benitez at Anfield very disappointed. Benitez has signed a number of average players in La Liga have with only Luis Garcia, Xabi Alonso and Fernando Torres a real impact.
Despite a shock win in the Champions League in 2005, finishing FA Cup and Premier League in the second a lot of time at Anfield has Benitez by poor transfer policy and team selection marked negative. has signed of the 37 most important players in Benitez's first team since arriving at Anfield 21 are no longer at the club. Players such as Craig Bellamy and Peter Crouch was dropped, while Robbie Keane £ 20m dream move to Spurs from the start was doomed to failure.
So what really happened?
Change. Too much, too soon. From the moment Graeme Souness revised a title winning team in each Liverpool manager had a major job rebuilding their hands, but every time we finished object will be reconstructed never what it be, you should leave the next manager, a team rebuilt by his predecessor rebuild.
Since acquiring Graeme Souness, have Liverpool € 355m spent on the transfer and recover £ 179m and yet, after all, money managers and 4, it looks like another rebuilding requires job that Liverpool currently sit in 7th place in the Premier League when writing with 7 games lost so far. With the American owners still promising a new stadium, but provides no money to fund new players, is a change of managers not even an option this time that Benitez has just released a new 5-year contract signed in the summer, the club simply can not afford to part with the Spaniards.
You can not help but wonder if things will get worse before it gets better.
