The manager has to take a big part of the blame for some massively overrated, overpaid British signings who have not delivered. The manager has to take a big part of the game for sticking with Carragher when there is a ball playing centreback in Coates who can comfortably bring the ball out of defence and be an extra man against a team that keep 9 men in their half when we have possession. Win the FA Cup and we'll talk about the manager's position when the season is over. Technically our league season was over a long time ago but we the fans need to back the team to FA Cup glory because I sure as hell don't want to wait another 6 years for another trophy.
