Many including me are pointing the blame squarely at their manager, Rafa Benitez. Now lets be clear I have never been a massive fan of Rafa but this month he's even surpassed his usual standards.
1. Why spend £20 million on a player that you then fail to even put on the bench for a game?
2. If your going to criticise the opposition, make sure you can back it up with results.
3. Why tell the press all about your contract dispute? Especially when your asking for control more than any other manager in England.
I've had a look at Liverpool's record this season and although they have only been defeated once, they have drawn nine times!
Rafa can say all he wants about teams playing defensively but when your team costs £20m and your opponents have one player worth £20m, of course you're going to defend. Playing a 4-5-1 counter attacking system isn't going to work at Anfield as most teams aren't likely to be throwing players forward for 90 minutes.
To give some context to these 9 draws if Liverpool had played more positively and won 3 games and lost 6, they would have the same number of points as they do now.
So why oh why Rafa do you continue to play 1 up front?
It will be intresting to see if anything changes for the Chelsea game tomorrow.
