No adventure , no risks , no gain .
U risked with AquaMan , and drop Lucas , and we see how ?
If we kept getting same results when playing Lucas , time to freshen up things .
havent losing 1-0, dossena alr on the left winger. he started there.
I sensed RB to feel the heat from the 2 owners .
Not too sure after this result , his position as Gaffer still safe ?
rafa is not as adventurous and attack minded tactitians. he is cautious and defensive minded. often he play not to lose mentality, esp in a tough away match. well thats his football philosophy.

i dont think he know what he is doing, you know.
lucas is the fall guy now, but football is a team game. if one player dun play well, you got other players that needed to play well. unless he often miss pass or gift the ball to opponents that concede the goal. besides lucas, I think there are no one for rafa to play in midfield, besides the half fit italian.
then ask rafael himself to play that position? since he cannot fill it up?
Lucas is not the fall guy but he is the same function as Masche.
That means no supply to Stevie and Torres.
Without creativity, where are the goals coming from ??
Glen and Insua are not providing sufficient cover for Liverpool.
Reina is losing confidence and control of the defence.
Up front, only torres is all alone with the immature Ngog.
So, it is not just player's confidence.
I believe the players are also losing faith in Ah Ben.
With all the above reasons, we are what we are today.
We cannot be living in the past.
We are NOW not good enough.
Unless Ah Ben can recognised that, he cannot change.
As for Liverpool's past achievement, Pako is the brain for buying the players.
After he resigned, Ah Ben is a flop.
we're a joke now, or rather we had been a joke
thats why he bought the italian for creativity isnt it. but he is half fit now. have to make do with lucas at the moment.
that boy creative meh, maybe a little luh.
better than that lucas lar for sure lol
okk, this one i agree. confirm one!

seriously, when lucas venture forward, he's does not really find tt killer pass ala fabregas, when he defend, he always can't tackle cleanly like Mascherano and always draw fouls and some fouls have resulted into goals...he's not young anymore leh, he's reaching 23 soon and he's at the club for some time le....n let me rebut u on ur last sentence, there's always mr stevie G....n it's up to benitez to really tweak the formation, but very evidently, he's sticking to his pets, lucas and kuyt...
Did Lucas on the bench against Wigan ?
And we won ?
When we lost to Spurs 2-1 , Lucas were IN !!
Liverpool 1 - Villa 3 , Lucas were IN !!
Chelsea 2-0 Liverpool , Lucas were IN !!!
Sunderland 1-0 , Lucas were IN !!
Fulham 3-1 Liverpool , Lucas were IN !!!
Liverpool 2-2 Birmingham , Lucas were IN !!!
MC 2-2 Liverpool , Lucas were IN !!!
Rovers 0-0 , Lucas were IN !!!
Arsenal 2-1 , Lucas were IN !!!
Champion's League i dun want to say ....
8 defensive players against Pompey , BPL worst defense !!!
Agger Carragher Maschrano Lucas Kuyt Inusa Dossena Johnson ....
Only 2 are attacking minded players Gerrard , Torres
WTF really ... against minnows like Pompey .
Losing 1-0 , u dun put in Aurelio , u put Babel .
Now 8 points behind 4th place Villa .
And on same points with Birmingham .
Below the likes of Spurs , MC add salt into wounds .
If the best 4 teams are to progress into UCL .... Liverpool are not up there .
Arsenal are the team most deserve to be there .
Along with Villa .
Not Spurs , MC or Liverpool .
It'll be good if we relegated into Europa League next season .
And see how much money RB can spent .
And how much players Liverpool need to sell to balance the books .
It'll be interesting to see if Gerrard and Torres stays ? Or go .
Soon we'll hear from Gerrard .
I doubt he can tolerate any longer , if base on his character .
How many years was Houllier given and how much did he spend? What about Rafa? Seems like he has a liking for real mediorce players.
a-ben shld have dropped carragher for e greek defender
n drop lucas to e bench in exchange for ngog.
n i tink a-ben is still sticking to zonal marking?

i alr doubt if they can even finish inside e top 4 come end of season.
The greek defender was a FLOP and screwed Liverpool by lefting in the goal during champion league.
Glenn seem like a flop for defender.
Aquaman is useless even if he is fit.
By that time, it will be too late.
So, you have it.
Ah Ben 1st season with FULL control on player buy is all FLOPS.
Coupled with his emotionless handling of his players, he can forget about motivating the players with confidence.
Ah Ben never take responsilibility so far for his timid tactics.
Just follow thru his post match comments, he is becoming like Ah Hou.
