WAS RAFA AT FAULT?


Liverpool played some shocking stuff today, the defence was all over the place for the goals and midfield looked lost while Everton picked up the majority of the loose balls.
Up front Crouch and Fowler looked ok but just never got the supply.
My biggest disappointment today was Rafa Benitez starting 11. Ok Everton are a mediocre team but this is the merseyside derby that means this is their game of the season and will give their all to win, Bellamy and Kuyt are the strikers that are going to put the ball in the back of the net more times this season than our other strikers so we have to start with at least 1 of them.
In midfield Alonso should be rested because he is not playing well so far this season for some reason and we cannot afford to keep playing him to sort himself out if we keep dropping points and it will allow us to use Pennant on the right with Gerrard and Momo in the middle. Garcia should only be used in Europe and coming off the bench, i believe Kuyt, Fowler up front a Gonzalez,Momo,Gerrard and Pennant midfield today would have made the difference, the defence today was a shambles and i think its time for Rafa to make the decision on Sami, maybe the legs are just that bit too slow now that his intelligence and experience cant compensate.
We have to play our best 11 in as many prem games that we can, the premiership has to be our priority and today was 3 points thrown away.
We have 4 points from 3 games.....Rafa no more messing about, pick our best starting 11 and show what we can do!

NEW STADIUM FOR LIVERPOOL FOOTBALL CLUB


This has dragged on for so long that i wont believe it till we actually play our first game in the stadium, this has been the one big failure of the Liverpool board.
We should have been already playing in our new stadium for the last couple of seasons, the amount of ticket revenue we have lost out on is shocking, while the mancs up the road have been adding capacity for years and leaving us way behind in money terms.
I just hope that building starts as soon as possible and that the board completely understand that if Liverpool Fc are to remain one of the top clubs in world football that we need this stadium as soon as possible no more excuses or delays.

STRIKER DILEMMA?



Liverpool Fc have a problem that we have been waiting years to have, who do we play up front today in the merseyside derby.
Kuyt and Crouch both scored midweek in the internationals but Bellamy is very hard to leave out while Fowler has been training to reach his peak fitness for the past 2 weeks and must be chomping at the bit to get a game.
While i think Kuyt and Crouch should get the nod for todays game, Rafa may surprise us all again with his selection.....this is the new look Liverpool Football club and what a great problem to have!
