Sri Liverpool FC


Hey, it was that man again (pic). The Aussie was certainly in his element to deny us again, for the umpteenth time. Everton played well. Their defenders like Jagielka and Lescott were awesome. Defending that is.

Possession never wins a football match, goals did and we lacked goalscorers to nail a close match. We had chances but as in every drawn matches this season, they fell to goal-shy, out of sorts players like Babel and Kuyt.
Liverpool relied too heavily on Gerrard and Torres to score. No other players it seems are capable to share the duties and whenever these 2 are heavily shackled, inevitably the goals dried up.

The omens are not good ha? Who else can score? Keane, Kuyt or Babel?
Keane was not even in the squad these days. Kuyt will score again next year. Babel has been disappointing whenever fielded, 2 years on after arriving from powerhouse Ajax. More like Ajax Fabuluso to me. Will he realise his full potential? On current form, the answer will be never.

This coming weeks will be busy for LFC. Tomorrow at Wigan, Sunday entertaining Chelsea and then the Cup replay at Goodison. A treat for us for sure but shudder to think if the trend will continue.

A friend suggested that Malaysian version of LFC should be called 'Sri Liverpool' FC for Liverpool are now a draw specialist. How apt?

Wigan should be the perfect fodder to dispel the tag.
