I Do Blame it on Rafa

I am sad to say that my predictions earlier in this EPL season is becoming nearer to reality. I was telling people that the Liverpool would have a bigger chance of being 'kicked' out of the Big Four.

The pre season went badly. I remember we only wons when facing super super minows, like Singapore. Againts almost everybody else, we barely perform. Lost to teams like Rapid Vienna, Espanyol, Athletico Madrid. Drew with Thailand. And thats using the core of the team from last season, minus Alonso of course.

I just dont understand Rafa's insistence on zonal marking. Statistics this year has shown that most of Liverpools' goals conceded are via set pieces. With Cara and the whole lots of the defenders being shaky up to now, and with goals being leaked in, why are we still continuing the system? Why are we expecting different results when we are doing the same things over and over again. At least if we do not leak goals, we wont LOSE!!!!

And now, Stevie G and Cara went on record saying Liverpools season will improve. Pardon me, but I do have the feeling that everytime those two are quoted with such, Liverpool never improves in the next game.

Furthermore, failure to qualify for ECL 2010/2011 will be catastrophic to Liverpool. With the amount of debts the Americans have. People might say MU also have bigger debts. But we have to admit, Anfield is much smaller. Differences in gate collections are enourmous between these two grounds. My deepest fear, Liverpool going the Leeds road. God forbid.

But, Red for life. YNWA.
