I know every club goes through a spell of bad luck, bad decisions and injuries but I don’t remember seeing anything like this in the decade that I have followed football at *any* club. Exhibit A:
That’s 7 regular first team starters injured and 3, if not 4, regular subs out injured as well.
Add into the mix a defender returning from what seemed a serious injury (a defender that Rafa never really wanted in the first place but let’s not go there). A midfielder who caught flu after perhaps his best game in the red shirt against the biggest rivals and when he was finally starting to win the fans over. A striker who’s hardly trained all week. All 3 who probably wouldn’t have started if there were any realistic alternatives.
Now add a Ref who sees (and shows) red for seemingly no reason whatsoever and you have the perfect recipe for the most sickening final one-third of a game I’ve seen in a long, long time.
You don’t have to be a football pundit to see that these are extraordinary circumstances and to blame Rafa for this is so ridiculous, it isn’t even funny. Or maybe you have to be a Wheelan of a pundit to be so oblivious to the facts and spout whatever shit comes to your mind. If only they stopped to think before opening their mouth. Think? That would imply they had a brain, wouldn’t it. Well, like I said – let’s not go there.
its high time u realize that rafa is out of his mind….replacing torres and benayun when they r playing so well in the game and r the only hope for them…..and even dont want to get replaced……
regarding injuries……which club in the world does not hv injuries….but look up to the example of manutd n barcelona………evn after losin some of their key playrs they still play grt game n win games…..
besides losin is part n parcel of the game…..
but even the way liverpool’s game is goin, losing a game always looks certain……
liverpool has shown character before also even without gerrad drawin 4-4 with chelsea
but this season the main culprit has been rafa………n i think till he is here thr wuld be no trophies in their kitty
n i think he has been the biggest hurdle for winning a league……..
he cries for budjet……
aftr real madrid liverpool has been the biggest spendthrift club……….
still he cries for more players n budjet
i think he shd learn frm arsen wenger n fergusen how to buid a team……….
