lol at those bolded parts. ..(no offense guys...i understand ur feelings.. .)
i just read the report...
from the substitutions made, it seems benitez clearly had chelsea's game in mind...
i remembered earlier in the season, he said they'll take one game at one time, and somehow liver managed to lead the standing...
but how about now? its only 1-nil atm and sub off torres. ..hmm...
and also taking off gerrard(???)its because of upcoming 6-pointer game eh..
i think its started when benitez comment about SAF, before manu-chelsea match...
that time, its said that whatever the outcomes, liverpool are the winner.
now the situation is being reversed.whoever win ( upcoming liverpool-chelsea match), manu win..

Can a team win titles with likes of Lucas, Yossi, Babel? Are we really short of 2-3 more world class players to actually win titles?

Or perhaps, we already have enough? But Rafa is not doing it rightly? IF yes, then, how much more time can we give him?

I dont think players like Lucas or Babel are that bad..but under a different gaffer perhaps?

HELL YEAH!

goodness Kat..who in the world is that in your avatar?


anyway, i didnt watch the match so cant really say much but here's something i picked from the RAWK forum. no sure if its true...

``So here's what really happened. It's understandable that noone wants to look at this now, but I took one for all you bitter bastards and watched it about 10 times over.

It's a throw-in to us with 10 minutes to go and we pushed up too far. That was it. For everyone crying about pushing for the second, it's what did us. Rafa had Keane up, and was giving him instructions. He was going for it. We had the ball, throwin near side.

Aurelio took the throwin left side to Mascherano, who gave him a very tough ball back, and he miscontrolled it. One Wigan hoof got the ball to the halfway line, where Skittles got beaten in the air in the Wigan half by Mido, it looks like, and the ball broke to Brown, who brought the ball up to our box. There was noone around. Everyone was too far up.

At this point, both Skittles and Carra are badly beaten and turned around. Arbeloa is jogging towards the f***ing penalty spot from what appears to be the left side of the pitch, the right side is completely abandoned, save for two furious players running back at breakneck speed to cover for the three defenders that should not have been beaten so badly.

Yes, for all the moaners, those two were Kuyt and Lucas, tearing back like rats up a f***ing drainpipe. It wasn't their job, but they did it anyway, and Lucas busted his arse to beat everyone to a bad f***ing situation.

Lucas f***ed up, but it wasn't that bad - Koumas was always playing for it. Here's the real kicker - Wigan had two players clearly offside at the time Koumas tried to take the ball past Lucas. If Lucas had just let him go, he was gonna either run out of pitch, or have 2 teammates offside in front of Pepe.

If you watch it a couple times, you might end up walking off the muppet stage for giving Lucas grief. Arbeloa, Skittles and Carra blew it. 7 minutes to go, and everyone went marauding for an unnecessary second goal.''



Question to all who watched the match: so is it true that we conceded because we went to seek for another goal?

really?????? i had such high hopes....

this is like Liverpool threatening to win the league and suddenly....

well MON is still not that bad....

did u guys get to catch that article on soccernet? it sorta said our blue neighbour's manager...Moyes....has been slowly building a strong squad with very lil budget....staying true to the football spirit by not being part of crazy inflated transfer crap...and even suggested that probably he shud head our way....should rafa got fired at the end of his contract....

well Moyes for us?! thats blasphemy!

I'm actually wondering how long it'll be before it gets nuked.

Babel and Lucas are good players. The good I mean here is generally good, not exceptionally good. It just their recent form are like hell. And the worst part of all, Rafa didn't see it. He just continue to play them both when we're in such a tight situation. I don't care if they play if we're leading like 3 or above. Can't Rafa hear what we want? He's being disillusioned by his own alter ego. I think I can't watch Lucas anymore. Better some young academy lads than him. Babel, let him play in reserve as much as possible to rediscover his touch. Just get Lucas out of my face. Hate to see his 'innocent' look when he's the one who made the most mistakes.

Uhm, falling flat on our faces?

i myself can see class in Benayoun, Pennant, Crouch, Kewell and of course Babel.
but there's one name that shouldn't be there, yes thats Lucas..

he falls under another category along with Djimi Traore and El Hadji Diouf if u can see what i mean..the type of players that can cost us few precious points..further on cost us the title..

and since when do we grow the feeling of becoming a champion..now tell me?
we getting lucky wins in the early stage of the season (we call it champion's luck)
we getting good results versus manure and chelski
and now..we're getting where we are supposed to be..drawing games and will at some point end up fighting for the 4th position..aint that what supposed to happen since months ago?


i woke up..after a series of events, it wakes me up...we are Liverpool...since when do we get so pissed off by not winning EPL?










...or should i say.. keep the faith?

the way this is going, benitez might end up winning nothing for a 3rd yr in a row.

Saw Pennant play for his new club, better then Lucas.... time to give up hope for the Premier League title. Waste all the point with draw, Rafa talk only but do nothing to improve the team. Is time for him to move on to other club since he can't perform.

Does it matter?Well, even if we win zilch, I m still proud to support the club, unlike a certain supporters

The thing is, we have been getting no trophies in recent years and it doesnt make us hate the club because of this.No.

Anyway, is still January? For god's damn sake, I thought it is May now after I visited the manu thread.Holy facts...

I like their thread man...Like time travelling and heck, u can order starbuck coffee there... Their posts are of quality.

lolz.. define Quality

Ex liverpool all get better? Baros is still baros.Morientes is still morientes. Josemi did an ok job.Zenden warm the bench?

Heskey has some magics since the last 2 years.Before that, not so impressive.

As for keane, I m still hoping that he can gain his form and changed rafa's mind.

But it's kinda hard for him to, since rafa started him on bench.

last time when Keane wasnt scoring and keep missing chances everyone ask Rafa to bench him / sell him..now everyone angry at Rafa for benching him..very hard laa =.=
