Liverpool FC Forum

We need a better performance than last week that's for sure, look players can be in or out of form - that happens, form is something ephoral which is often in the hands of the footballing gods but one thing players do definitely have control over is how much effort they choose to put in.
We should not be getting outworked by anyone we really shouldnt, throughout our glory years we were famed for our workrate, the old chestnut often said about us is that we had an extra man on the pitch such was the shift our players used to put in. Shankly's revolution was built upon hard work - he called it 'honesty', that was the secret to our success, getting talented players to work their ar.ses off. It was the backbone of Jurgen's success too, even Arsenal now, its no surprise they topped the distance covered stats last weekend, look at how hard their players work to get back goalside any time they lose the ball. Hard work and success go hand in hand not just in football but in life too.
I'll be interested to see the distance covered stats after this weekend, lets see if wearing the red shirt actually means something to our players or whether this club is just somewhere to get a wage..

I agree 100%.Hopefully the more us supporters and the press discuss it, it will demand the players to give more. I don’t expect to go from last year running the least to now running the most, but we need to see consistent improvement as the season progresses where we end up running the most by season’s end. We also need to start playing for clean sheets again, I hope Iraola can sort that out first.
