Fernando Torres recently claimed that winning the Champions League is more important than winning the premiership. Is he correct?
I argued in a post yesterday that Bill Shankly's belief that the league is Liverpool's 'bread and butter' should remain a key principle of the club's philosophy. What do you think?

It's natural for a foreign player to regard the Champions League as a higher priority than the league, regardless of how long it's been since we won it.
ReplyDeleteeg. Michael Owen didn't go to Real Madrid to win La Liga, he went there for a better shot at winning the Champions League.
Oh come on. Players can believe what they like. Just because they're at our club does not mean they have to share every "belief" this club may have. We do not control the minds of our players.
ReplyDeleteYou're also forgetting that when Shankly was around you had to win the league to get into the European Cup, so of course it's going to be the "bread and butter" because Europe was a bonus coming directly from that. Now-a-days you don't need to win the league to achieve European glory.
