Dropping points

Premier League Liverpool
by alluneedisrush (U7556622) 07 October 2007
comment on the article

If liverpool don't find their form they will soon find themselves out of the title hunt. At the moment our performances are well below par and deserve what we are getting.

Lets hope this international break has the opposite effect than the last one. YNWA!

In a bizarre twist to the "restricted views" complaint so endemic to ageing football stadia, Liverpool find themselves embroiled in an "excessive views" furore.

Opined Our Kenny of no fixed abode, Liverpool: "It's gotten so bad at Anfield now that we often find ourselves watching the entire game." An indignant Our Barry of Bootle went still further, complaining that "Me, Our Garry, Our Stevie and Our Jimmy paid over £30 each to watch this rubbish. The government should do something about it, especially as they paid for the tickets in the first place!"

Supporters organisation have proposed various solutions to the problem with the favourite being to rotate the seats 180 degrees to face away from the pitch. A proposal welcomed by Ms B.C Bodi of Apathy International, adding that "in this day and age it is obscene that 40000 people are regularly being tortured in Britain."

Liverpool LFC were not prepared to comment on the matter but Roy Evans, a former torturer of the Anfield faithful, was willing to comment. However, the only words he had were "gissa job. Go on, gissa job. I haven't worked in years".

You can moan all you want about Rafa's rotation policy, but I don't see you lot complaining when it comes to the business end of the CL and most of your team is injury-free and fresh as a daisy.

i wonder how harry kedknapp would do with our squad?
on a serious note rafas rotation is not the reason were playing bad its the players on the park.i mean 100 k a week ffs,these footballers are sickly overpaid regardless of the income they generate.
also the crowd needs a kick up the ring too.
the spurs fans were right saying "anfields a library"
when the going gets tough the tough get going.
how many times did gerrard give the ball away,? out of them all he pisses me off the most at the moment.
i also thought that voronins pass back to gerrard was class but will not be seen as because gerrard in my opinion f it up.
at that point we would be 2-0 up.
when are we gonna be more ruthless?

I had always said it that Rafa is an excellent coach but lacks the consistency it takes to win the premier league. For LFC to win EPL Rafa has to use his best eleven regularly so they could gel together to the extent of anticipating each other's moves. This can never come from rotation, never! Rafa's eyes, I'm sorry to say, is again on the chapions league. That's his reason for rotation so that the players would be fresh for those "big" night's games.

I'm a chelsea fan but I really hope Rafa would change and show his true worth! I've really come to respect him because of his duels with Mourinho. Rafa's the only coach who's won Mourinho the number of times he did and quite on big occasions hence my respect for him.

However, I know Rafa wouldn't change. Hmm... stubborn man. I think he's digging his own grave anyway!

What the @&*% is the man playing at, has he got a bet on Liverpool NOT winning the title. Rafa's rotational policy is ludicrous, unsettling quality players who haven't had time to adjust to his latest reshuffle. Even a monkey could work this one out - settle the team first and rotate on a SMALLER scale for easier matches (careful Rafa, remember Burnley). He will fail again if he's not careful, then I'm going to stop eating bananas and apply for his job!!! steam

Hopefully the break will allow Rafa to reflect and get things on track. The next few games are going to play a key part to our season

A Everton
H Arsenal
A Blackburn

Not easy and if we play badly we could drop alot of points.

As rush said, we have 3 fixtures coming up which are not easy, everton, arsenal and blackburn.

Now at the start of the season i was actually looking forward to getting revenge on everton and arsenal for beating us 3-0 last season, both teams did it and im sure many of u recall.
However, if we play like this im sure we are going to experience the same humiliation.

I personally do not know what the hell has happened 2 liverpool but they better do something soon because even though we are 6 points behins arsenal, this damage can be undone but only if rafa can do some magic.

More importantly we need the win at everton to set us up 4 the arsenal game, and just because the team is young, there is no reason to take them lightly, if we do that, then i guarentee there is going to be a lot of goals but not from us.

Well lets c what happens.
