Ahh... It's just so painful watching Liverpool this season. They started the season on a lost, and I thought it was like just.. a small blip. But now the loss of Xabi Alonso, and even to an extent Sami Hyypia is the reason why Liverpool's playing so bad. Sotrios Kyrgiakos is not as good a back up as the Big Finn, but Alonso's the most significant loss... When there's no Stevie G, there's no more spark deep in midfield anymore. Andriy Voronin still cannot finish. Alberto Aquilani needs time to get back from injury. And the reserve players like Jay Spearing, Stephen Darby and Nathan Ecclestone aren't good enough, yet.
And due to injuries to Stevie G, Glen Johnson and Fernando Torres they got from international duty. Stupid international managers have no clue whether their players are injured or not, and gamble, for what? When like England have back-ups like Michael Carrick or Gabby Agbonlahor for Stevie G, and there's like a wealth of attacking players Vicente Del Bosque can pick if Torres' injured. C'mon man.
The luck isn't there too. And it's hard if you can't put in a consistent team over a run of matches, due to all the injuries.
Now the Europa League looks like where Liverpool's heading... And I just feel like oh so.. sian. Unless either two happens...
Liverpool beat Debrecen and beat Fiorentina by three goals, if Fiorentina draws with Lyon.
Liverpool beat Debrecen and Fiorentina by any amount of goals, if Fiorentina loses to Lyon.
IF just if, Fiorentina beats Lyon, bye bye Champions League for Liverpool.
Bye.
