Not at all.
Bill Shankly created a side and way of playing that dominated the footballing environment in which he played.
I can admire what he did and respect him for what he did for the club but that doesn't mean that by endorsing him as a manager in my username I think we should imitate his style.
Quite frankly whether you believe burnout is an shit excuse or not its reality. Most players playing in Shankly's days would never be able to compete over a season, playing the amount of games we now play, like our boys do. The game nowadays is more about stamina over the season and managing your squad to be successful over long periods of time. The sooner fans start to realise this the quicker you can start seeing the real issues with defeats like last nights.
The past is the past and its a glorious one. I'm fed up with fans and pundits alike comparing this team to the great Liverpool teams of the past.
Its a different team and different game creating a different history.
It is a differnt type of game now and does have more pace but not THAT much different, and players of yesteryear would easily be able to play in the premiership if they were about now.
You my friend are guilty of listening to the media and our manager too much imo.
Manchester United dont rotate players like we do, and they are doing just fine.
If rafa was that worried about the recovery time in between last nights game and Watford on Saturday...why did he play our most influential player the full 90 minutes ?
Nearly every player in our squad could play every game no problem, yeah they would be tired, but the confidence team spirit and general morale would be better.

I for one have not mentioned getting rid of RB.
IF players like Rush/Keegan and players of the past were playing today they would follow the same diet and training so on as current players.
So to say they would'nt be up to the premiership. Is well to put it simply
WRONG
I believe it was 1984 under Fagan. Did we not win the League,euro cup and the League cup in 1 season. Playing as many games as we play today. I'm sure their are numerous stats like this involving Liverpool.
so this comment you made ""The game nowa days is more about stamina over the season and managing your squad to be successful over long periods of time. "" I must say I don't understand what you are getting at.
