Im not going to overreact to todays disappointment, we are all upset about it, and no more than the players or Rafa himself.
My hope is this, it will give some reality to our current position and future.
Why oh why did Gerrard and Carra play for England midweek? They both looked tired today, and what was learnt by sven. Carra, bless him, will be at best 4th or 5th choice at CB. And Stevie picks himself.
I noticed Upson managed to get over his midweek illness to play today . John Terry was fit too. Just turned on the TV, and sure enough, ledley King is playing. How ****** Naive are we. And if I can see it, why cant LFC!
And some more reality. Well how about we dont need, or deserve a new £130m (going up by the second) stadium. This club of ours needs serious cash injection, to improve the team. We are miles behind the consistancy needed to compete with Chelsea, Arsenal or Man U!
Spending £25-30m on three players as some people here have suggested, will get us, nowhere! We need one hell of a big clearout, and at least 3-4 £20m type players to lift this team to the levels of the top three.
We were once great, and maybe again. But as today has shown again, like against Southampton, we are a long way off.
We need a great team, before a great stadium! We are not Arsenal or Chelsea who have the team/squad already!
Back to Reality please!
