These few months hasn’t been easy for me and any of Liverpool fans. The team has been strugling to perform well. It seems like they are playing without any soul and chemistry now. What has happened that has changed the team that last season were superb?
1 Rafa, safe becuse of this new contract
Rafa has now lost the chemistry and control over the players. He has made some mistakes in tranfers, and seems to continue to do so. Its true that every team has ups and downs, but what I and every Liverpool has been seeing all this season are maybe the worst Liverpool performances in 2 decades. The only thing that saves Rafa for being kicked out of the club is the 5 years contract he signed this season. That means if the owners decide to fire him, the club has to pay the remaining salary. By another word, it’s costly. With the financial level of the club now, its impossible to do.
But Rafa has been wasting some big money in this 4-5 years. Some of the successful tranfer policies are Fernando Torres, Pepe Reina, Xabi Alonso, Martin Skrtel, Yossi Benayoun, Mascherano and Glen Johnson. The others are just total waste. Andriy Voronin, Lucas Leiva, David Ngog, Albert Riera, Philip Degen, and maybe also Alberto Aquilani. With Aquilani, I mean, whats the poin of spending 20 million pounds on a player you are affraid to play. Aquilani is an injury prone player.
I haven’t said about those young players. It’s not a secret that Rafa wants to duplicate Arsenal’s Wenger in developing young players into world class players. But Rafa never gave this lads chances. Only Lucas Leiva and Emiliano Insua who succeeded to become first team players. Despite the fact that David Ngog is progressing, Rafa decides to search another striker. The likes of Nistelrooy, Heskey, and the latest is Maruoune Chamakh. Some said that he even willing to spend another 12 million pounds on the later. What the fuck, i said. He should give the chance to another young player. Again, what is the point of bringing Kriztian Nemeth and Dani Pacheco (both has been labeled as the next big thing) if they’re never given the chance to rise and shine? There’s many of this kind of players: Jay Spearing, David Ayala, Martin Kelly. All are left rooten in the reserve team.
.2Chamakh, another mistake?

3 Nemeth and Pacheco roothe in the reserve team
Without Xabi Alonso, Steven Gerrard is clearly thinking alone on the pitch, sometimes Benayoun helps, but thats it. Versus Reading, even Gerrard and Benayoun were absent. And Liverpool playing like a championship team! No brain at all. I would suggest to spend money on West Ham’s Mark Noble or (more cheaper) Scott Parker than Chamakh. Or if possible, luring Van der Vart to play first team than just hoping Kaka gets injured in the Madrid’s bench.
But as the transfer windows closing, i cant see anything will be changing. Either we hope for the miracle to happen so we can still in the big four, or…maybe the humiliation will continue. Lets hope we wont be the next Leeds United or Newcastle United. Amen.
