There has been a lot of bad things happening this season.
1. Agger
Missing him for the whole season has cost us. He is the only quality defender we have (including Carra as he is dreadful with the ball). He can defend and he can create. He can pass the ball and move past a player. He can shoot and he can win headers. With him in the back 4 things would have been very different.
2. Hicks/Gillett
Clowns with no knowledge of football. Missing out on Champions League will hit their pockets hard and all of this bollox may turn Liverpool into another Leeds. If they knew anything about football they would have demanded a new striker to be bought in january just to make sure we had a chance of getting to europe next season.
3. Strikers
Even failures like Heskey, Cisse, Fowler, Baros, Diouf are miles better than Kuyt/Voronin. Crouch should move on if he is not utilised. Crouch scored many goals last year and he is capable of doing that given the chance. Having one good striker (Torres) and one average striker (Crouch) is not nearly good enough for a top premiership team.
4. Kewell
The worst player I have seen playing for LFC in 25 years. If we have no better left winger than finishing 8th should come as no surprise. I dont think Kewell would get into Derby or Wigan. I dont think he would get into Rochdale. I dont think he would get ahead of this Potter guy in Havant and Waterlooville.
and yeah match ratings:
Reina 6
Finnan 2
Hyypia 4
Carra 4
Aurelio 2
Benayoun 5
Gerrard 6
Alonso 6
Kewell 1
Kuyt 3
Torres 5
Lucas 6
Babel 6
Good substitutions in the second half almost turned game around. Liverpool played with 9,5 men but after Lucas came on for Kewell we got 10,5 men and almost won it. Unfortunate and clumsy by Carra to give away the penalty.
If football is banned in heaven. I'd rather go to hell.
