So don't go with all that bullshit about there being 70 other goals throughout the team when you don't include Suarez getting the goals because he was involved, by either setting it up directly or being involved in the build up play for a good 20+ goals.
I'm not forgetting them, I'm not including them. The players scored 70 other goals last season, that can't be disputed. Almost everyone helped out at some point. Skrtel was the league's highest scoring defender!! So our title challenge was a team effort, not a solo run.
You're right about the title challenge, but at least our first season in the Champions League under Rafa didn't result in us crashing out with our tails between our legs having been embarrassed in the group stage.
Embarrassed over finishing third in a group as third seeds, with Real Madrid in it? I don't think we had that to deal with in the group in 2004. If we were embarrassed though, at least we got further than the apparantly insurmountable hurdle of Athletic Bilbao.
(Mourinho) had 1 year and 4 top players and why did he come third ?
Probably because we had something to do with it.
no point arguing pal, its futile, but the majority of Liverpool fans i know that support rafa are the ones who were starved of sucess and think 2005 was the turning point...bollox 12 of the players who actually walked on the pitch Geds signings.
I'm not looking to change his fan's views, they won't change, nor will mine. But the league championship is the most important competition we play in, and he failed to win it, having had more than enough chances to do so.
Bob won league titles, Bill won league titles, Joe won league titles, Kenny won league titles for this club. Brendan has already achieved what was asked of him by the board, and almost won us the league way ahead of schedule. If he had, the euphoria would have trumped Istanbul multiple times over.
