Whilst Liverpool fans are fairly giddy at the moment, following their 4-1 victory at Old Trafford, they seem to be forgetting the bigger picture. The title was there for the taking this season and that should have been confirmed by our travels to the other side of the World and extra games we played there. Cramming our matches in and remaining in all competitions has meant we’ve played far more regularly than any of our title rivals.
Yet amazingly, despite the advantage given, Rafael Benitez’s men managed to chuck it away. Certainly, they got an impressive result at the weekend, but that doesn’t change the fact they are still four points behind having played a game more. This is a situation they probably would have happily taken last season but this year, after leading the table for so long, it can only be a huge disappointment to have blown it so badly.
What was the turning point? Benitez getting out a piece of paper to read a long list of nonsense in his pre-match conference. Had the manager spent more time focussing on the game the following day rather than obsessing over Sir Alex Ferguson and Manchester United, maybe they wouldn’t have dropped points away to Stoke, whilst we thrashed Chelsea 3-0 during the same weekend.
Sir Alex has been asked about Benitez’s “episode” today and like anyone outside of Merseyside who watched the press conference, agreed that it was fairly odd.
“Weird,” responded Ferguson what asked what he thought. “I really don’t know what he was talking about. I’d be amazed if his staff or his players thought it was a good idea.”

He must have forgot to take his pills that day.Sarurday’s result doesn’t make him out as the winner of the mind games.The bigger picture is what Scott says.After the outburst they lost touch with first place.
dude , just watch they will draw vs villa! I CALLED IT!
Doubt it Rooney.Not the way Villa are playing.Of course you can expect Villa to remember that they are going for a Ch.League spot and pick themselves up against us.That’s how it works with ABUs
Come on let’s get real about this, Liverpool dropped points in the league because they aren’t good enough, their squad lacks depth and their first eleven isn’t capable of forcing a game. They did not drop points because of a press conference their manager conducted earlier in the season, eg Kuyt doesnt think about the rant before shooting and subsequently missing, it’s because he’s crap.
I said to one Liverpool fan after their win: “wouldn’t it have been a bit different if you actually won at Sunderland – only 1 point in it” – they went a bit quiet after that!
I’m looking forward to getting them in the Champion’s League! Bring it on!
FSW will himself realise the mistake only after we win the league
can we all pray and get them in champions league,pliz let them confirm that they are not crap!
