It’s the injuries, not the gaffer….

Posted by

Unless you have been living under a rock the past week, the fact that Liverpool is under a pressure that we haven’t seen in years, shouldn’t be far from your mind. And whatever your problems with Rafa might be, this cannot all be blamed on him.

Many posts have been backing Rafa, as the situation is starting to spiral out of control. The manager isn’t what we should be focusing on right now.

We are hurting, and bad.  This is the list of players hurt:

Goalkeeper-Cavalieri

Defenders-Kelly, Johnson, Aurelio, Agger, Degen (ineligible)

Midfielders- Gerrard Aquilani,

Forwards- Torres,  Ngog

Apparently Torres and Cavalieri will be in the Lyon squad no matter what, which is probably necessary, and Aquilani is a maybe, but if we continue to lose, it is all about the injuries. Rafa may have made some questionable selections this week, but one has to admit, he didn’t have much to work with.

I think it might be time to recall Krisztian Nemeth from AEK. Our depth is so low right now that we need anyone and everyone. The fact that the kid can score doesn’t hurt either.

Let’s hope the Reds get fit soon, because it gets tougher from here on out.

  1. Your right, and you know what else I am sick to death of all the media jumping on the Anti-Liverpool bandwagon and slagging us off at every opportunity. The facts are there’s only been TEN games, meaning there are 28 games left, you cannot judge a team on 10 games, look at united last year, they played abysmally for most or all of the season but got a few flukey 1 nil wins which won them the games.

    I was listening to talksport radio last night as I drove home and at every opportunity the bloody wool presenters where having a wisecrack at our situation, saying that the team aren’t good enough and Rafa must go, backed up only by Mancs calling in and enjoying our misfortune, the scousers calling in got laughed at for being ‘dillusional’. The truth is if this was happening to United, nobody and I mean nobody would dare say ANYTHING about Ferguson OR his side.

    Today I pick up the mirror to find that now the media are claiming we are headed for the championship and will be managed by Steve McClaren, owned by Mike Ashley etc. I’m thinking, why are they able to publish such crap, non-of this will ever happen, I thought the news was supposed to be facts and maybe the odd rumour here and there. What are they going on about and why have a crack at us 24-7. Surely this isn’t helping player morale and maybe that’s the reason they are publishing it, to see how far they can push us down.

    I am sick of being laughed at by everyone, we are still well within the race for the title and able to turn things around, we are not a two man team we are missing 10 men who are unfortunately injured NOT JUST TORRES and GERRARD!

    United taunt us for going out of the Carling Cup, they must remember we went out to Arsenal, not without a fight, while they struggled against Barnsley, who are a Mediocre team at best. United have to remember they were undone by Burnley this year, the team we beat 4 nil, United being the team we beat 1 nil, we did get beat by Chelsea but of course they are the better side this year and will be a tough one to crack for the Premiership but I believe we can do it.

    Hull are having the same troubles, Theres only been 10 games and Phil Brown is under threat, they must remember who got them to the premiership and kept them up against all odds, they were not expected to last one season here, but who is expected to these days.

    Anyway rant over…
