BAD SEASON
You can’t look beyond Liverpool. In the 20 years since they last won the league title, I doubt they’ve had a worse campaign, particularly given the optimism that preceded it.
The trouble at Anfield is that, outside of the incredible loyalty of the supporters, there’s hardly an area that doesn’t need urgent attention.
There are current owners who should never to darken the doorstep of Merseyside again. And reduce the ridiculous price they’re asking to sell the club.
There’s a manager whose time, arguably, is up though there was a huge ‘email campaign’ to media outlets on Friday by Liverpool fans swearing support for him.
However, for me, Benitez’ tactics are too negative: there are exceptions, Reina, Mascherano and Torres, but he signs stinkers; and he’s been living off the back of Istanbul for too long — I still remain unconvinced of what influence ‘he’ had in that extraordinary triumph.
And there are the players that need clearing out. Where do you start?
