What has happened to the once mighty Liverpool?
Disciplinary actions abound as Oz and his squad struggle to not only score goals, but to simply play the game we know and love. Liverpool's 36 yellows and 7 reds lead the league. Their most recent game against Lodz saw two of their starters red carded and escorted from the stadium. This is starting forward Gustavo Bazalar's second red of the season. To add insult to injury, Lodz fans let him have it on the way off the pitch, cheering and dancing causing Gustavo to react in rage. One particularly rowdy Lodz supported happened to hit him squarely in the chest with a full beer causing it to explode in his face. Manager Oz was forced to towel him down and apologize to the fans in a post game interview.
The youth movement has so far been a complete failure for Liverpool and some are beginning to question the legendary manager's motives. Is risking the reputation of your club worth the challenge of starting from scratch? We wonder how much leeway the board will give if Oz continues to lose games in such spectacular fashion.
For now, it appears the entire Northern Europe division is ripe for the taking.
