No I don´t. I am a Liverpool supporter and have a life you know.

 

Where the hell is this coming from?

So you are more and this everybody are more equipped to judge whether a player is able to start. More equipped than professionals like doctors, physions, coaches and managers. What the fuck Aquilani would have done to solve our problem is beyond me. Our main issue is in defense, we are still scoring goals, even without our main goalscorer.

 

Who said Aquilani would do anything to solve our problems? £20m spent on players who could play from mid-August may have made a difference, though.

 

Which also conicides with the worst period in our history financially in comparison to our rivals. There was no Chelsea or (now) Man City in Houllier days or Evans days or Sounness days. We weren't outpent by Spurs in the 90's or early 00's. The competetion at the top is at its toughest point yet. Long gone our the days teams would come up from lower divisions and win the League. (Leeds 88/89 21st 2nd tier, 89/90 promoted to 1st tier, 91-92 League champions). We broke the transfer record (British) in 1995 (I think). We'll never do that in our current situation.

 

We are no longer on a level playing field with Chelsea, Man U, Spurs, Man City and now Arsenal-(revenue wise), so how fans can realistically expect us to challenge for the title every year is beyond me? Rafa is not perfect, nor completely blameless, but who the fuck would be? He, and maybe Capello are the only 2 managers that have won League titles with teams that where funded unfavourabley (largely) in comparison to their main rivals. Not Hiddink, not Mourinho, not Martin O'Neill, not Alex Ferguson, not Arsene Wenger, Rafa Benetiz at Valencia. It is no guareentee that he'll do it here, butif he goes there is a very good chance Liverpool will be worse off, whilst only minimal chance we will get better.

 

We are up against it financially, but we have had a lot of money to spend, and a lot has been spent poorly. We aren't poverty-stricken, and I don't think we should begin Moyes-like whinges about lack of money. Rafa has to be more sensible with the money he gets. We can buy top-class players, but we can't afford to waste money the way richer clubs can.

 

And the Souness, Evans and Houllier (despite 2000-2002) years are hardly the yardsticks by which we measure success.
