      We are not good enough
      Oct 28, 2007 06:59:56 pm
      I don't like to say that but one of us has to admit that, we are simply far from being contenders.

      I feel that Rafa Benitez is not the right manager for us - Houllier all over again

      I feel that most of our players are very sluggish, slow and clueless

      I feel that we are pretty poor in the transfer market. Torres is a brilliant buy, why not learn that buying 2nd rate players isn't going to win us the Prem? Voronin, Kuyt, Sissoko, Pennant, Crouch... I mean these players are simply terrible compared to Ronaldinho, Henry, Messi, Eto'o.

      Arsenal at the moment are playing the best football in Europe, Barcelona, United, Chelsea, Valencia, Porto are all playing nice free flowing football, why are we not? Because our wingers are pants and like I stated at the top of this post, our players aer too clueless, sluggish and slow!

      Sorry to offend anyone, I just had to state the facts!

      Ok then, let's buy Ronaldinho, Messi, Eto'o and Henry in January then. Problem solved.

      You can all be cocky but you haven't actually came up with a decent reply. Maybe you know I'm right but just hate to admit it!
      I was using Ronaldinho, Messi, Eto'o & Henry as an example, an example of how other teams have world class attacking players and how we don't!

      Arsenals team & I stress team are not all world class players but they have the right balance at the right time...they are relatively injury free & play always in a positive way & to feet generally.

      You don't need a team of stars to win the title...what you do need is fitness, team play & motivation...Liverpool just at the moment lack something in each of these...

      ...I do agree with you!
      Today we got 1 point which we must be glad to get because the Gunners deserved them all.
      To win the Prem we must  get all 3 p at home against the other contenders.
      Arsenal play greate football with flair and idea.....our players(apart from Mr. G) have no idea what to do with the ball. It was so sad to watch.
      The quality of our football this season has been worst for years.....many years and it's so depressing.

      Hopefully Mr. Benitez gets it wright soon cause I don't think the americans are as patiens as Mr. Moores was!

      REPEAT POST FROM ANOTHER THREAD - POSTED HERE TO GIVE BALANCE TO THE THREAD TITLE...

      We've had more key injuries than the Mancs, Chavs and Arse all put together.

      We are being crippled with bad-luck. Not an excuse - just a fact of life.

      This season: JC, SF, AA, FA, DA, XA, SG, MS, JM, JP, HK, FT (12 FREAKING PLAYERS) have all missed a number of games due to injuries (NOT rotation!) - and we are only in October - SHOCKING!!!!!!

      Personally I don't feel that Rafa makes the most out of his transfer kitty.

      I mean, he spends £11.5m on Babel and then leaves him to rot on the bench. Whats that all about?
      Also wasn't our biggest weakness last season in the wide area's? Why did he buy Babel (a forward) & Benayoun (a midfielder) to play on the wings and then never play them? To me Benitez doesn't make any sense at all.

      If you need wingers, quality wingers, then buy some! Example.. Quaresma, Simao, Mancini, Silva

      If you've got the money, don't buy midfielders and forwards to play on the flanks, buy wingers to play on the flanks. Rafa's biggest problem is playing players in wrong posistions, why is this needed when theres money to spend?

      Buying quality players is not that easy, You must be right that LiverpoolFC need qualities players, but I don't think the current squad is this much poor.

      Arsenals team & I stress team are not all world class players but they have the right balance at the right time...they are relatively injury free & play always in a positive way & to feet generally.

      You don't need a team of stars to win the title...what you do need is fitness, team play & motivation...Liverpool just at the moment lack something in each of these...

      Change your username then.

      Better still change your club back to whoever it was a couple of years ago.

      I'm locking this topic but keeping your other one open Ra Ra Rafa.

      The other topic is constructive whereas this one is just pure negativity.
