Kop Not Top
To make matters worse, on the day they failed to score, the player they transferred to Chelsea, and who looked as if he had left the Midas touch at Liverpool, (under lock and key it seems as nobody at Anfield has yet found it), Fernando Torres, managed to find the net even if he later reverted to his Chelsea form and missed a sitter when it seemed easier to score.
As surely as Manchester United is banging in the goals the Liverpool last line of defence is breached with ease and rather than looking well sealed is leaking like a sieve. Even Ryan Giggs can score somewhere other than the Big Brother house and looks likely to lift trophies as well as skirts. While United ‘walk on’ Liverpool can’t get up on its feet.
Nor can Sunday’s defeat be described as a blip. In the opening match of the season Dalglish’s new ensemble managed only a draw with Sunderland. It beat Arsenal 2-0 but then Arsenal is the team that lost 8-2 to Manchester United despite having the advantage of the United goalie assisting the Londoners. A further 1-0 loss at Stoke prior to the Spurs debacle has only served to erode confidence.
The current squad is a long way off from being championship contenders. In spite of big money transfers, up to now it has only flattered to deceive. Quality individuals, strength in depth maybe, but they still don’t function as a unit. Is Andy Carroll too fond of the booze as strongly hinted by Fabio Capello? Dalglish denies it but for the money invested in securing his services he is not playing like a man at the height of his sobriety. Getting rid of Raul Meireles was a retrograde move. To lose a player of his talent while keeping Steven Gerrard, whose career is lit up these days by a dimmer switch, seems a sop to the Kop. But is it worth keeping a player just to have a scouse accent around the boot room? Jamie Carragher can provide that.
I have told my ten year old I shall take her over to a game in the not too distant future. I want her to see a victory. In order to be sure I might just buy tickets for a cup game against a non-league side.
Anthony a cara have you no faith in Dalglish ,it,ll take time and dosh but I think he can turn things around for the club, mind you a cara I still think you should throw away your scarf and come join the devils.
ReplyDeleteMarty,
ReplyDeletefaith is not something that comes natural to me!
Carragher on his last legs too. Awful feeling Celtic could break the bank to buy Caragher and Gerard, that would make good 'Celtic' sense.
ReplyDeleteSwap ye hankies if ye like, just freshly wrung mine out again...for the 1000th time lol
Fantastic.Carroll is a useless lump.Gerry Adams is better than Charlie Adam! Suarez will be off if the club don't make top 4.Agger and Jono are permanently injured.Can't keep a clean sheet.No top 4, no KD next yr.Fergie is nearly 70 and the Mancs will hit the 90 point level again.Bob Paisley won his last 2 titles with just 87 and 82 points, played 42 games (38 since 1996)
ReplyDeleteSlick,
ReplyDeletePaisley was their most successful manager. When the team seriously faltered in 1981 he put backbone into it and turned things around. KD has yet to do the same thing
WKD lol
ReplyDeleteneil lemon said in todays daily record celtic players will be left with their throats cut if there's any more of sundays antics...
was close to cutting my own coupla times.
Larry,
ReplyDeleteat least Celtic managed to score 2.
If the logic of the peace process applied to old firm games they would all end in a draw
I heard Bob doh Brains was sitting in the anytout social club when the news about hurricane Katrina came on ,Bob doh Brains said to one and all "if I ever spot a hurricane and get to name it I,ll name it after our leader ,what do you think?" someone in the back shouted up "I think the weatherman will have some objection to saying hurricane cunt on tv"..
