Thing is you could say it about several away performances this season.
Worst thing for me is, we look like we're just going through the motions, players and manager!
Thats how its been all season. I dont understand how a team can go from 5 points of winning the league in the 08/09 season, having one of the best years ever and only losing 2 matches, to now being out of the CL, FA Cup,Carling and fighting to stay mid tier with a glimmer of hope to secure the 4th spot and we already have 9 losses.
I dont understand and would love to know what happened.
I have been a sports fan my entire life. Baseball,American Football and Liverpool Football. With the glory comes the pain. I understand that. But this team has TOO MUCH TALENT to piss this season off. I have supported Rafa the entire season, still do. I think hes one of the top 5 coaches in the world. Replacing him is not an easy task and I dont want him fired. But, maybe for the sake of the team a change is needed. Maybe they have played as good as they are going to play for Rafa. A coaching change may bring new life to this team.
I dont know. I just dont understand how a team which had me yelling and cheering and sitting on the edge of my seat for an entire season last year. A team which had so much fun and passion and what they represented, to a team which has done a complete 180 into mid tier football.
I am not a glory hound or bandwagon fan. My posts on here are generally positive and I think that having close to 1000 posts on the forum shows I truly care for this team and what it represents. However, I think some serious changes need to be made and maybe a rebuild of the core of this club is needed. Something is rotten and eating this club from the core and it needs to be stopped. We can bi*ch and complain about the owners but in actuality its the players and staff who are lacking right now. Its the guys who wear the Liverpool crest and play on that ground who are failing.
Not a knee jerk reaction. Just a bit of a rant....and maybe something to think about, thats all.
