Liverpool fans need to be careful with their expectations…
Rarely do we see a team’s fortunes rise so quickly under the management of an unfit manager and with a superstar who is so disrespectful to his other teammates that he’d suggest the team pick up some of his Spanish countrymen because “he need help”.
I’ve already spoken my peace about this so I won’t go back there, but somehow the Reds have moved to within 10 points of Chelsea who sits in first and 1 point from Tottenham in 4th place.
Somehow, someway the boys from Liverpool decided they wanted to play competitive soccer again after wallowing in their own misery for most of the season.
Crapping out of the Champion’s league and losing match after mach to teams they should have beaten must have taken its toll, but now Liverpool has woken up.
Do I think this trend will continue? No, because I think Rafa is inept and even if he doesn’t go to Juventus he’ll just mess up Liverpool instead of messing up Juventus. It’s really that simple.
Can I expect Tottenham to continue to falter and give up 90th minute goals? Nope. Tottenham (as a friend, who is a HARDCORE Tottenham fan, said) is FOR REAL every season. Even if they seem like they are shrinking they really aren’t.
Liverpool can do more than they started the season doing, but they are not this great barrage of talent and skill that’s going to roll up the table towards Arsenal, ManU and Chelsea.
Can they play for 4th? Sure. But 1, 2, and 3 are reserved for better teams.
Do I think that Liverpool can turn this around for next season…stop settling for fighting for 4th place? Yes, they can, but this season is lost and any news to the contrary is hogwash.
Maybe next year for the Reds…
