Theres too much wrong presently at LFC.
Firstly, we were terrible yesterday, we had no composure, no cohesion and no will to win, we looked headless and had no focus at all. But i do believe the off field incidents are finally starting to seep into the team and onto the pitch with Rafa battling match to match for his future.
Well its just not on frankly.
Im no great lover of Rafa in the sense that he can do nothing wrong - i think first and foremost the blame of our lack of firing forwards lands squarely at his feet. His constant chopping and changing, not to mention playing players out of position has destroyed the confidence in players like Kuyt, Voronin, Babel and Crouch.
Contrary to what people are saying there was nothing wrong with wednesdays performance against Wigan, where they had one shot and scored and we failed to finish them off, or at Manchester City where we had them penned into their own box. There was nothing much wrong against United where one chance out of a handful decided the game. Its just lack of finishing.
We are on the right track but first things first, i think Rafa needs to become more humble and change some of his ways, he makes things more difficult for himself and makes himself an easy target with his strange selections and playing people in the wrong formations. he needs to stop rotation and install an incentive to the players for doing well, for wearing the shirt. Why should Crouch bag any goals and work his socks off if hes gonna be benched next game? Pointless.
Secondly the owners need to put up or get out. While Rafa was to blame for his petulance these idiots have made a mockery of what this club is all about. They've continually decided against publically quashing these rumours, they could have ended it in an instant but havent and now the rot has set in. they have not fulfilled their promises of funding, both stadium and players. If they cant fulfill these things they best get out now because no one wants them, and if they aint careful they will soon see the backlash at games.
While we realistically wont win the prem, we still have an outside chance and only draws have cost us so far this season, we are still in the CL and survived a poor performance yesterday, theres still lots to play for. But only if the club gets its act together and puts to bed these rumours and starts working together because at the moment the club is ready to implode.
