Good News For Rafa: Liverpool Have Overcome This Before

Posted on October 31st, 2009 by Chelsea D

Great to see Liverpool completely capitulate against Fulham today and have a good laugh at an exhausted looking Benitez as he trudged towards the tunnel.  I mean, we all know how arrogant confident they are irrespective of how many times they have to dust their ‘history’ down, but just when I thought I couldn’t laugh at them anymore, Jeff Stelling comes out with a great one-liner :

“Liverpool HAVE won the title before having lost 5 of their first 11 games………it was in the 05/06 season………..the 1905/06 season.”

    Chelsea supporters should be very careful using the word “arrogant”. They rather shouldn’t use that word at all, to be honest as they must be among the most arrogant football fans world wide.

    AK - me and Bolton away games don’t mix - does that mean I became a big fan in 2005? You do the maths.

    The league is over for us Liverpool fans! I saw the cfc against Bolton on Wednesday at the bridge and was blown away by your strength in depth! Let’s not blame the beach ball or the red cards we were 2nd best today. On too many tests this season Liverpool have crumbled. LFC made the right decision selling Keane but we never replaced him with a quality back up player. This has come back to bite us. I still can’t understand why a replacement was not found for him this summer! Then rafa made a horrible decision off loading Nemeth to Greece on loan as he has the potential to be the best of our 2nd string. This unfortunately will have to go down as a transition season. We can still win a domestic cup but unfortunately rafa is finished if he doesn’t at least finish in the top two with a trophy. As he signed on a five year plan. Despite taking us near last year and blowing our best opportunity I think he is not the man to take us over the final yard. I have a strong feeling he will be managing Madrid next year. We have to face facts that very few of the squad today would get any where near the squads of the other top four.(unfortunately) rafa has had to steadily improve the squad each season. But I think that outside forces such as mancity , spurs and Aston villa all improving have put us in a very vunerable position. Rafa has given us some great moments but I think there are too many problems with the thin squad we have. The major new issue is that carragher will have to be replaced as he cannot cope with playing in the expansive manner we are currently playing in. In addition Gerrard will be facing more injuries over the next few years we really need aqualani to step into his shoes in the next 18months. The solutions many fans may disagree but we need to do all of the following to have a chance qualifying in the top 4: Drop Carragher!( face facts if we want to play expansive football he does not have the pace to cover the gaps. Very sad as he has faded very quickly, Buy a quality winger and a back up striker for torres. Sell off babel ,voronin and unfortunately either relegate Lucas to 4th choice midfielder or sell him on. Despite his improved season we will not win the league with him anchoring our midfield. Pray for a miracle regarding aqualani. For next season Bring Nemeth back 1st thing at the end of the season.

    Oh come on! i thought this site was one unbiased (rare) chel$ki site. You cant use the word ‘arrogant’. Cos after winning 2 titlles are 50 yrs you Chelsea fans think thats something…

    Moscow Delight - it is something for us, when you go that long without winning you’re entitled to think back-to-back titles is an achievement, no? And just because I can sit back and look at Chelsea objectively, that doesn’t necessarily mean I’m unbiased - all supporters are biased, :)
