I dont see why Girls can get away with fashion posts.
Its ridiculous.
And I doubt its considered acceptable to blog about football.
And because it is so
And because I perceive it an injustice
I shall blog about football.
If you are not a football fan, and generically female, you may skip this post.
Haha
Reasons Why Liverpool FC is going to fail this season:
I am a supporter of liverpool
Still We are dead this season
To all you nuts going WE GONNA WIN THE EPL TITLE THIS YEARRRR.
shut up
I was one of you
till I realized a few things.
1. Hodgson is getting rid of players that we need.
He got rid of Degen. He got rid of Riera. Yes total shitbags. But look who else he got rid of.
Krisztian Nemeth.
Yes, that hungarian youngster who lit up in the match against Singapore, even though Voronin, Babel and Ngog failed epically. Netting a wonderful brace if my memory doesnt fail me.
Where to? Olympiakos, where he spent last season on loan. For the lovely giant price of 1.5 mil.
fine you may say, he is youth and maybe he wasn't developing well.
But what about this one. Emiliano Insua.
Yes, he was the weak link at left back last season. But how old is he? Erm below 21? He made mistakes but obviously will get better. Where does this promising talent go?
Deprived of a squad number. Hawked to fiorentina and Genoa- he caused the deals to fall through, and finally ejected on loan to god knows where. Not even an english club dammit.
Fine. To those of you who call him bullshit.
How about this one
Alberto Aquilani. The 20million dollar man many newspapers have been quick to label a flop. You're not a flop after one season, especially if that season is an injury-riddled one. You're a flop after you get a fair chance. And fail.
This guy has been performing miraculously well for us last season. Lighting up every match. Especially when played in the hole. Hitting the crossbar against Chelsea. And he has the highest goal to minutes ratio of our entire squad last season.
Including Torres. His precision passing definitely helped the side out a lot.
What does he get for it? Joe Cole gets brought in and is set to occupy the position that he thrived in last season. AM at liverpool now belongs to cole.
Aquilani sent to Juventus on Loan.
He needs to adjust to the pace of the game in England. Thats what everyone was saying last season.
So why IS HE GOING BACK TO FREAKING ITALY.
THATS BULLSHIT.
So you cant blame him for saying that he wishes to stay a long time in Italy after he touched down in Juventus.
He said that he's not going back.
I wouldn't either if I were him.
Promising young full back Mavinga is also complaining about not getting fair chances.
2. He is screwing up his tactics.( WHY THE F**K IS JOE COLE GOING TO BE OCCUPYING PLAYMAKER POSITION)
Firstly Joe Cole has a strong reputation in the english premier league. AS A WINGER.
He played for chelsea
AS A WINGER
He plays for england
AS A WINGER
SUDDENLY HE APPEARS AT LIVERPOOOL AND EVERYONE IS GOING ALLL HAILL MESSAAAII-UH AND HE GOES LIKE I WANNA PLAY PLAYMAKER AND EVERYONE IS LIKE OOOOOOOKIIIIES.
WHY?
WHHHYY?
especially when we have someone occupying that role called. STEVEN GERRARD.
How about AQUILANI WHO PERFORMED AWESOME THERE LAST SEASON.
Now aside from redundancy this leads to another horrible situation
3. GERRARD PLAYING IN CENTRAL MIDFIELD.
contrary to popular belief Gerrard struggles in central midfield.
We all saw it against Manchester city.
Even when you put him in Central midfield he is going to continue what he does up front as the link up player.
Run forward and pass to Torres/Set up attacks.
He isn't far forward enough to do that.
The only way this can work is by having a powerful defensive midfielder beside him, so he is free to run up.
OH WHAT? WE SOLD HIM?
AWESOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMEEEEEEEEEEE.
Gerrard is going to struggle this season. Take my word for it.
Oh and he will only have one midfield partner no? Considering the fact that we managed to "replace" mascherano and aquilani but we added a surplus Joe Cole to occupy the attacking midfield spot this creates a problem of...
3. SHITZ WE CANT SLOT OUR PLAYERS THERE PROPERLY.
we can be certain that Hodgson will definitely play these two players in a 4-3-2-1 central midfield trio spot.
Joe Cole and Gerrard.
Cole is getting the hole
And Gerrard will be forced to drop back to central midfield.
This leaves him with one midfield partner. Meireles or Poulsen.
Okay assuming that both of them have the same calibre as Alonso and Mascherano you end up with a massive situation.
It was the same situation Rafael Benitez had to deal with years ago before settling on a 4-3-2-1.
How to slot 3 awesome midfielders into 2 slots.
Now obviously you say rotate.
However the side will still be missing something.
Our lovely title charge two seasons was based on ALL OF THEM playing.
The Passer, Destroyer and Creator.
Since Poulsen is sub-standard you gonna end up with Gerrard Meireles and Cole playing as a midfield trio most of the time.
I don't really see Gerrard taking up the role of Destroyer very well.
Although he would make a moderately good passer if Poulsen is deployed.
Now if Meireles is deployed next to him. and he runs up to influence play. We gonna end up with Meireles trying to hold the defence on his own.
Bad.
Unless he's way better than Alonso defensively. We screwed.
Big time.
Alonso only thrived cause he had Masch next to him.
Which is why the Alonso-Gerrard partnership never really worked.
Unfortunately the only way we can solve this problem is by freeing up the space in AM.
Which means moving Joe Cole somewhere else.
I dont really see that happening.
4. Kuyt.
This is a controversial issue. But I dont think Kuyt has enough class. Say what you want, hardworking , world cup credentials etc. Whatever. Now that he's out for injury move Cole here. This is where he should be. You could want to put Rodriguez there too, but I think he doesn't give enough width.
Oh but Hodgson loves him. Which is why I see rodriguez leaving in the near future.
We are screwed.
YNWA
Out.
