It may be an ok result but it's the way that a Liverpool manager portrays it
like it is an Olympian achievement. All that does is have a sub-conscious
"we're not good enough" effect on the players. At the moment Roy is gifting
the psychological advantage to every opposition we play with increasingly
bizarre press statements when he should learn to keep his mouth shut and get
things improving on the pitch.
Could you imagine Shankly going:
"There are two teams in Liverpool: Everton and Tranmere Rovers. But if we
keep working hard to improve and follow what I'm doing then one day we may
be good enough to be considered in the same company."
That is the type of bizarre comment Roy would have made were he around in
the 60s.
