Hello Fellow Liverpudlians,
This is my very first post coming all the way from downunder. I had to wake up at 6am to watch us put on anothe poor and dreadful performance against Chelsea. I really am getting tired of Rafa's squad selection there is absokutely no continuity and our form and performance on the feld justifies this. How can we change 9 players and expect to get a result at a ground that we have one only once in the last 15 years. I know the Carling Cup is not a glorious fete but we are painfully letting everything slip away from us slowly, 10 pts behind Arsenal a bitter fight to qualify to the last 16 of the Champions League with the prospect of facing Real Madrid, Barca and the Milans.
The most troubling thing is that we have no set game plan other than to pass the ball back to Carragher who will boot it up 60m and then we all do it again over and over. Our best performances so far have been results of indvidual brilliance either Torres has stepped up Stevie G, Benayoun against Besiktas or someone else stepping up.
And we purchase these youngsters every year Nunes, Gonzales, Aurelio and the biggest tit of them all Lukas Leiva. Seriously this guy has no pace intensity nor heart to play in the EPL let alone a sacred club like LFC. We have had some tits in our team before Biscan always come to mind but at least this guy was a fighter. I cant believe that this guy captains the U21 Brazilian tam ahead of Man Utd's Anderson, who ripped our midfield apart on Sunday. Why do we constantly fail in bronging quality youngsters to our side???
Looking ahead against Portsmouth we will probably see a whole new starting eleve with exception to Carragher. I just hope that Xabi was subbed because he was tired and not injured, we really need to have Stevie G and Xabi working together and finally picking our best 11 that will start creating chances and playing some good footy. I would say we throw Babel on again for his pace because we will need that to break Portsmouth stellar defence down.
Welcome mate!
Cannot agree with you on these 'tit's (agreed JD, welcome return of an old friend
) you refer to. Lucas has shown a lot of promise, and some good spells during tonights game. Between him and Babel I genuinely thought we could have took something from tonights match. And Anderson didn't terrorise our defence on Sunday. We held well against the mancs and they got a scrappy goal! Don't let the result fool you! And Biscan? Don't get me started, God love him.....
On topic however, I think the Portsmouth game is going to be difficult! They're a good outfit now, hard to break down and a bit tastier coming forward than they used to be!
But with a full strength side, I reckon we can do them! Get an early goal, knock the stuffing out of them and bang a few more in to announce our arrival (again!
)
Much prefer three points on Saturday than progression in the Carling Cup! (Although from some people's perspectives, we're going to need a cup to get into Europe!
Damn negative arses!
