DISQUS

Finally the ass-kissing I have been waiting for! Ha! But nice article, didn't mean to badger you to the point of appreciating Liverpool, I appreciate the criticisms too, just want to make sure it's proportionate. I think you're dead on about the chemistry between the players, really a joy to watch. The creativity is something that has certainly fluctuated--at times it's brilliant to watch (the passing game against Chelsea was as crisp and fluid as I've seen out of a Liverpool side), but at other times (Stoke City anyone?) the lack of creativity has been frustrating. The subtle loss of creativity against Tottenham after about the 60th minute on Saturday was key to the game turning around. I think with Torres out it's forced the side to be more creative, and Gerrard has really been out of his mind sitting in behind the front man. I am not completely opposed to sticking with the 4-2-3-1 and finding a spot for Keane if need be. Been hard on you Gaffer, but I knew you'd see the light eventually :)

No doubt, I would absolutely spend a good chunk of change to be able to watch every Liverpool match on my TV, why is the EPL behind MLB/NHL/NFL on this Gaf?

I too am a Liverpool fan and agree that on a standalone basis this post is not too bad. When compared with previous posts about Liverpool winning in a similar fashion, though, there is no credit given to the squad that "creates" their luck. Wins against Sunderland and Middlesbrough were written away as completely due to luck, no discussion of creating chances or never giving up. In the same column, Gaffer writes that Liverpool were "bound to lose" at Chelsea and would likely "slip up" against Portsmouth. "...Reds will be in their usual fourth or fifth place by the end of October, just wait and see." At least fess up, it's alright to like one squad and dislike another, but trying to assert yourself as unbiased and objective for some sort of false integrity is foolish. It's unfortunate, because I do enjoy the articles, but yeesh, come on.

Funny how all the "luck" that you stated Liverpool experienced earlier this year was never a result of them creating that luck, but Gerrard hits the post twice, Carragher heads it into his own net, and Spurs created that luck?

Weak...hey kettle, you're black

So are you part of the British tabloids then?
