liverpool fc

ok this is just my view on what has gone wrong with liverpool and why there title dreams are going up in smoke.

I would love liverpool to win the title, its been to long since it happened.English football needs it to happen to. In italy since 2000 Roma,Lazio,Juventus,Milan and inter have all won the championship with florintina coming close. in England we have had chelsea, Mancherster united and arsenal with nobody else getting anywhere near them, to be blunt the premier league is fast becoming boring and predicatable at the top end.

To me one of liverpools main problems is the coach.although he hasnt rotated the team as much as in past years its still way ahead of the other so called big four clubs. i thaught when they needed two games to beat league 2 luton in the FA cup,then got beat by championship Barnsley in the next round last season he would learn a thing or two about messing the team up and the advantages of a settled line up but alas no.
personaly i think that after the FA cup defeat he was the knife edge of getting the sack and beating Inter in the champions league kept his job (if there was a strong ref for the 1st leg at anfield then mayby he would have been sacked)

this year the problem has a combernation poor home form and GOALS (or lack of them) as the following results show

stoke city (H) 0-0

stoke city (A) 0-0

Fulham (H)0-0

West ham (H) 0-0

hull city (h) 2-2

Everton (H)(1-1)

Thats 12 dropped points there and thoses results are of the top of my head from talking to the chaps at work.the anoying thing is that the great wins at home to manchester united and away at chelsea have been thrown away by the above results.

now if you are struggling for goals and you have a 20 million pound fit striker on the bench you would bring him on right? WRONG! if you are Rafa.Or if he scored two goals in a game you would start him the next week wouldnt you? Again not if you are Rafa you would,nt what was the point in buying on of the top strikers over the last five years in the league then not giving him a fair chance? with the 2012 world cup on the horizon robbie keane wants to be impressing the ireland manger, not jogging up and down the touchlines warming up and playing 5 mins here another 20 there etc etc . if theis countinues i think a transfer request will be handed in. the worse thing about the whole keane sarga is that all this has happened with there number one striker torres injured, so what happens when he is fully fit? keane further down the pecking order?a loan spell at lincoln (i wish lol)

i am not saying that liverpool carnt win the league,there is always a chance in football but they seem to be shooting themselves in the foot.and with Real madrid waiting in the champions league and Everton in the fa cup it could be another season without a throphy and the owners are sooner or later going to want to see some sort of return for the cash they have pumped into one of the greatest clubs in the world

a win at old trafford in march is very much needed, over to you Rafa!!!!!!
