In the vast majority of games that I have seen this season, even those we have lost, we have utterly dominated in possession, time in the opposition's half, shots on and off target and corners.

No we are NOT! 8 goals in 13 games? worse than any Gerrard Houllier or Roy Evans Rein as manager. Rafa may NEVER win us the league. that may be the case.
Half of you, who rant about "plastic fans" just dont want to believe that Rafa is only human, has made large mistakes this season, and is buying cheap alternative players instead of the worlds very best.
ie; Crouch, Agger, Kromkamp, fowler, morientes, garcia, sissoko, are all unproven or past it, and a bunch of unproven younsters for the youth team.
then out on loan go Pongolle, Mellor, Le tallec, and Cheyrou. bad decision IMO.
Real plastic fans are those who claim to be real Liverpool fans, and slate other fans in here for slating the team, after LFC lose a big match! it happens every time.
Go home and get your dummies and grow up.

You know the type: the guys who think Rafa was stupid to sell Baros, that the board were nuts to let Owen go to Madrid for peanuts and then not re-sign him 12 months on at twice the money, the guys that think we are a rubbish team and that there are major problems blah blah blah.
People that have been fans of Liverpool for more than 5 minutes will understand that this is one of the most promising times we've been in for 15 or 16 years, and if people thought things are bad now, then they weren't about when it all went pear shaped under Souness, and such like.
Our great European adventure came to an end last night. It had to end somewhere. At halftime last May 25th, when we were 3-0 down, any one of us would happily have swapped being thrashed 4-0 by TNS in the first round of this years competition if we could come back against Milan and win, let alone going out to Benfica in the last 16.
And for those who say Benfica are a mickey mouse club, well, such is another sad indictment of a Sky Sports era football supporter. Benfica have had as proud a European history as most, and while their current side are not going to set the world alight, for me there is no shame in going out to a club that has such great heritage.
I've been reading many of the posts today and you'd swear we had just been relegated. I'm as disappointed as anybody, but one poor display doesn't mean the end is nigh. Its just part of sport, and even the great sides of the 1970s and 1980s had their bitter disappointments and setbacks.
The criticism of the team, for me, has gone way too far, which is perplexing, given that we are actually having one of our best seasons in years, in so far as we have been consistent and steady all year and real, genuine groundwork is being laid.
Winning the big trophy last year had the one downside in that it was always going to raise expectations to ridiculous levels, and last night's result has seen that particular chicken come home to roost.
I'm sick and tired of fair weather fans and this place has its fair share of them, and they come in the usual guise, although I'll refrain from getting into that.
The way I see it is that those who have gone completely over the top in their criticism betray their shallow natures as Liverpool fans, as genuine long standing fans who had to endure the disappointment of every manager since Daglish will recognise the great thinks Rafa Benitez is doing for this club.
