It’s crunch time for Liverpool and Raphael Benitez today, if they lose at home to Manchester Utd it wont be just the 3 points they will mourn, this result could be the defining moment in Liverpool's season and Rafa’s future at the club.
As I have said many times before Liverpool will never win a title under Benitez, to qualify that further, this current Liverpool squad could not win a title under any Manager, the quality is not there, also to many of their players are lightweights in term of Physique, to easily out muscled when the going gets tough.
A lot of the media especially in the North West are still calling for backing for the hapless manager, but lets look a little closer at Rafa, he has been there around five years when he took over Liverpool were a comfortable top four side, no real threat in terms of the title but they had a chance, roll the clock forward a few years and 250 million pounds spent, and they look to be dropping out of the top 4 and to steal a quote from a TV show, “Have advanced no further than an asthmatic ant carrying some heavy shopping” with that kind of money spent Liverpool are still only a two man team if Gerrard and Torres are out they cant play, and to be brutally honest they are not brilliant with those two in.
The buck has to stop somewhere and it is with Rafa, so lets hope Utd hurt them good today so we can retire Benitez.
Having the benefit of posting after the match, and having watched it, a two-man team - with one of those men absent, proved too much for Utd.
ReplyDeleteAnd with Man City drawing with Fulham - it'd be fair to say at least one Manchester team got some points yesterday.
We Are Fulham
