It's about the only thing that can force some change in this team at the moment.<br /><br />Also, sidenote: I can't be the only person who sees nothing in Jay Spearing can I?

OK he's consistent, but he really doesnt have anything going for him. He needs to present himself more, be there for not only the easy side ball but be the one to pick out players or make timed runs to be picked out.<br />as for glen johnson, as much as he tried, no one presented themselves to him so that he could make that final pass, or play the one-two. Usually kuyt would be there with him on the right but kuyt was in the middle today and thats why u see johnson run into a brick wall everytime he made a run.<br />and playing 3 centrebacks... its like asking sunderland to have an extra player in our half - unnecessary pressure on our defence.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02718308410698181687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33779660.post-4458351031409748862009-10-17T16:29:33.819-04:002009-10-17T16:29:33.819-04:00Wasn't talking Mourinho for this year.

Really? Were 7 points adrift with 29 games to play, relax. <br /><br />I agree with all of you that the rest of the season depends on the health of Torres and Gerrard and Aquilani implementing himself into the squad. The problem this season has been Lucas not being able to replace Alonso and to a lesser extent the erratic play of the central defense. If Aquilani can provide any improvement over what Lucas has provided this team will improve with each passing game. <br /><br />29 games to go people, its not the end of the world (yet).Shawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17645772313785907022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33779660.post-59773824865890352482009-10-17T14:08:12.854-04:002009-10-17T14:08:12.854-04:00Oh and I absolutely think Jose would leave Inter f...Oh and I absolutely think Jose would leave Inter for the chance to come to us, without a doubt.

Hopefully one that will be remedied soon with some new investment.<br /><br />Benitez was forced to gamble on Liverpool not being out of it by the time Aquilani gets fit, and it hasn't worked out. Hamstrung by £20m or so per summer, although one could argue part of that £20m could have been better spent elsewhere in each summer. Despite the troubles, despite the questions over formation, I still believe Benitez is doing the best with his situation.<br /><br />And it doesn't help that Liverpool's also behind all of their rivals in matchday revenue thanks to no progress on the stadium.<br /><br />Plus, it's not like I trust the owners to hire a replacement.natehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10043601945557998732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33779660.post-8102762767516916902009-10-17T13:22:51.242-04:002009-10-17T13:22:51.242-04:00Jo-se Mour-IN-ho

Rubbish all around. I agree with Georger, Aurélio was by far the most disappointing player on the pitch today. Where was the player that slotted a brilliant goal at Old Trafford last season? Each and every "service" was poor.<br />Glen Johnson, for the life of me, was absolutely shocking. He reminded me of Babel, constantly getting caught on the ball, dribbling into three opposing players, and his left foot is a disaster.<br />Does Benitez need to go? I really don't know. The tactics he put on display today, show he knows what changes he needs to make, he's just too stubborn to do it soon enough.<br />"Too little, too late," seems a apt method of describing the season so far. I'm not sure an untested midfielder is going to be the one to rescue it...<br />It doesn't help that we seem to make the most menial tasks difficult with changes in formation (what the fuck are we play 3-4-3 for?!), changes in personnel and a continued lack in consistency.epiblasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01219877702185417077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33779660.post-77258543447390367912009-10-17T12:35:27.682-04:002009-10-17T12:35:27.682-04:00Aurelio was far and away the worst player out ther...Aurelio was far and away the worst player out there (impressive, considering Babel played). How can our "set piece specialist" not manage to deliver a single good corner? PING right into the first fucking defender. <br /><br />Insua didn't play midweek and he's just a kid, or even if you don't want to play him, it's not like Riera was playing in Australia last week.<br /><br />Thought Mascherano was good when he came on. Maybe it was just the formation shift that changed things, but beforehand, man, we had NOTHING in the center of the field.<br /><br />I really thought Aquilani would decide Rafa's fate this year, but now I don't think he will even get that chance. Tuesday could be it, win, or you're done.<br /><br />And he has got to start putting him on the bench. If all he is lacking is match fitness, he's not going to get that watching from the stands.BackBergtthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01916269531937171514noreply@blogger.com
