Moose has always sounded like a fan in this thread. Every fan has their right to voice their opinion, especially one that has followed the team for over two decades. But then again it was blueflame who posted it, the notorious jump to conclusions without actually reading the threads.
I have to agree about Kyrgiakos he was a rock at the back for us against spurs. His aerial ability stood out in that game especially considering spurs had good ol' crouchy up front. rafa will probably keep him on at wolves due to our low confidence, normally against 'lesser' opponents i'd say throw Agger on and exploit his piercing runs from defence and his deadly left foot.
Is it a new dawn? - well probably not just yet. We need to win a game comfortably first. If we put 4 past wolves on tuesday then yes we are back and lets keep that momentum like we did on the latter part of the 08/09 season.
About the superfan speech, hahah well i didnt mean to sound patronizing, although looking back it does read like that sorry
. It was more that people make mountains out of mole hills, and through trouble we must stick together. That attitude was pretty much shared with all the lads at anfield.
Rafa has had his problems but nothing worth getting the boot for. Hes not great at transfers but people just read into the bad things - the keane affair was daft but we dont know the full story about that do we?. He brought Alonso, Torres, Garcia, Aurellio, Arbeloa, Mascherano, Benayoun, Reina, Agger, Skrtel... the list goes on. Look at where they were when they came to the team and look at where they are now.
Look at what he has setup in that background. Look at Melwood, look at the Academy.
His tactics are normally spot on, i remember reading something like 'liverpool dont have a plan B' in this thread which made me giggle. Liverpool have shown time and time again that in a shit match they can turn it around. Rafa is a master tactician, one of the best in the game, ask anyone in football (maybe not a dirty manc) and they will probably tell you the same. Not just with liverpool, look at his career at Valencia. Before you get on the bandwagon read the facts.
At the end of the day its easy to be a critic and to read into the bad things.
YNWA!
