Liverpool are still not the real deal
Liverpool were disappointing today and the game looked far too easy for Man Utd
at times. It was sad to see Liverpool resorting to playing long balls particularly
when Crouch wasn't even on the field for the first 70 mins. As much as Liverpool
fans will hate to admit it, Liverpool are still not the real deal and it showed today.
I don't think the problem lies with the lack of quality players in the squad, I think
it has more to do with Liverpool's lack of adventure, especially at home when
they really ought to be more offensive. Man Utd were extremely tough to break
down but I cannot recall Van der Sar having to make a single save in the entire
game.
Back to back defeats in the league but a great win against Marseille is just so
typical of Liverpool. Rafa would have been slaughtered if he had rung the
changes today and lost but to be honest, even with playing the same eleven
that destroyed Marseille, Liverpool put in a very ordinary performance.
Rafa believes that by buying new players Liverpool will become a better side. In
theory he is right but I cannot help thinking that its how Liverpool play that
needs to change rather than the personnel.
The 1-0 defeats for Liverpool and Chelsea today effectively mean that the title will
be a two horse race between Man Utd and Arsenal. Despite what people said
about these "grand slam" games not being particularly relevant in the title race, I
disagree and firmly believe that Utd and Arsenal have taken a huge stride in
effectively making the fight a two-horse race. I hope I am wrong.
