agreed, Tes.
Although I think that never-say-die attitude was one inspired by Suarez.
Without his industry and attitude, we are back to our old normal ways.
I agree Dude. Throughout last season you just had that feeling that more than we realised was down to Luis. He had that 'infectous' drive, work rate, absolute will to win, that has a way of dragging others along with it.
I'm clutching at straws a bit, I realise, and it is only a friendly, but after seeing our usual level of defending landing us a goal behind, after last season, it was nice to see us comeback and win the thing, friendly or not.
Desperate times, Dude, desperate times. I'm just hoping that the 11 shirts on the pitch can somehow fashion a winning way between themselves, as they're our only hope. I don't want my life long love of football and LFC eroded away by a bunch of shallow individuals and dirty, greedy moneygrabbers.
Whilst I admire what the owners are doing in terms of marketing, and getting on with the stadium side of things, their lack of understanding what's required on the football side, and more importantly, the lack of any evidence of them taking any of the required steps to change that knowledge vacuum, makes it hard to have realistic hope.
People can say what they want about Chelsea and City's owners, but they look like 'success' is a real driving force for them. Vanity project or not, success has to be the word associated with it. Of course they're throwing money at it that our owners don't have, but Abramovich is no 'American' when it comes to football and Mansour and Co have made the necessary appointments, and they too appear to understand what is required on the football side beyond merely buying players.
