So we might not have started off in the right foot with 4 of our Premiership games but we sure smacked Newcastle’s already injured ass this morning. Thus, a little tribute to Rafa’s Red Army with a video (pardon me if it is old, but the music is superb and uplifting) and the final whistle report.
Of course the complimentary picture tribute to the men who made the match,
Dirk Kuyt and Xiabi Alonso.
On any other day, my boyfriend boyfriend boyfriend, Steven Gerrard, would make it but I give credit to whom it is due. But I will leave you with a statement from Stevie for those who belive that Rafa has been rotating his players a bit too much. *cough* Lester *cough* O, ye that belongeth to the faith of the Manures .. or worse .. sneaky Chelski.
“Anyone who questions the tactics of Rafa Benitez must be crazy,” says Gerrard, utterly unimpressed by the misguided souls claiming to be speaking on his behalf when they question what role he’s playing.
“Rafa’s already achieved so much in two years and all the players and supporters have total belief in him.
“I know under Rafa I’ll continue to play in different positions, but that’s because he thinks I’m a good player who can do a number of jobs.
“Nowadays if a manager spends big money on a player, people expect immediate goals or man-of-the-match performances. It doesn’t always work like that. You need to settle and adjust. *cough* Abramovich-Schevchenko *cough*
“Liverpool tactics and systems aren’t the same as what these players are used to at other clubs.
“We’re playing very important games, but there’s no need to start panicking.
The entire article is over here.
Hehe. Just had to slip Stevie’s picture in.
Eventhough it’s just his back.
