The F***ing owners need to get behind this man and help him. Stevn Gerrard is a bloody disgrace. I don't give a GOD DAMN about his track record as a player, in this business you are only as good as your last weld. If he was a racehorse they would pull his ass. I think Rafa needs to CUT this boy for the Villa game and teach him some God damned manners. Stevens lack of support for Rafa has been shocking. Damned shocking. He has kept silent and in doing so he he has sided with the owners and the Devil. I lost a lot of respect for him today. This is the second time his body language had all the wrong signals. He did't make a tackle till the 78th minute and then he tried to win it with the last kick of the game.
Overall, a 1-1 away to Boro is not bad. Taken on its own, its a good result. Comparatively speaking, it looks even better when you factor in the Arsenal loss at the same Venue in late 2007.
But in the current context of
1. Liverpools League Standing
2. Boros league standing
3.The performance of the team both today, and as of recent,
...........it simply isn't good enough.
Arbeloa has had a decent season, but today he was abject. Ditto Voronin, who was poor and has been, by all accounts, all year. Riise is finished. But thats okay. Whats NOT OKAY is the decision to play these guys ahead of Aurelio, Crouch and Babel. For crying out loud Rafa, PLAY THE BEST PLAYERS. Not trash like Riise, Voronin.
The Managers have expressed a feint hearted intention of getting behind the coach. They have given him some money, and have allowed him to bring in Skrtel, but the chances are that the Torres and Babel signings were at least part-funded with Champions League takings, and that further signings will most likey be funded with money from the impending sales of Sissoko and Carson. Who did United sell in a hurry to bring in Hargreaves, Tevez, Nani and Anderson? Nobody. The money was stumped up without any arguments whatsoever.
Our boys need to do the same. Get the new Stadium built, get the revenues rolling, SUPPORT RAFA.
Oh, and Rafa: FFS get rid of Riise, Voronin Hyppia and Sissoko and play the men who deserve to be played: Aurelio, Crouch, Babel.
