Can They Make It Five?

Come this Saturday, Liverpool is a demoralized and beaten bunch of misfits going to face the champions of England. Four defeats in a row ain't the best of situation to go into a crucial week against an arch rival.











Benitez: Should we sack him by now?

Somehow, when the club finished second last season, I got a bad uncomfortable feeling that they are not going to cut out this season. Its a psychological thing. Just look at the clubs fighting for promotion in the Championship and failed to do so. So many have suffered. Some even got relegated.

Ok, I digress.

I was at Anfield watching Liverpool vs. At. Madrid live. And I thought they played terrible. A team without drive and basically clueless. You may say its a friendly so what? But they bring such form into the actual season and suffered six defeats already. By the time they reach the Sunderland fixture, the team is totally utterly (honestly and hard to accept it) a pile of shite. Nevermind the beach ball scenario (which is comical according to Reina), they have a full 80 minutes to punch in a win. But nothing of such happened.















The oh-me-god-holly-cow scene.

And the overly cliched hype of Torres and Gerrard partnership. So, why is it a club vying for trophies is still a two-men team. Just look at the other elite teams, everybody can cover each other. Without Gerrard and Torres, as portrayed in the Sunderland and Lyon games, the first team looks like a Division One team. It makes me wonder that: (1)why rugby player Dirk Kuyt is still in team, (2) why Lucas is still paraded as a talent, (3) why Rafa spend 17mil for Johnson when they lacked a striker of Torres pedigree. They should have bought Darren Bent with that money. Two of him in fact, with that money. And by the way, Andriy who?

Such is the frustration of one Liverpool fan. Imagine the millions around the world. What is wrong and causes so many downsides everyone is wondering.

Which leads to a million dollar question somebody asked me....Are you going to watch the Man U match this week? My answer: Are you kiddin?!
