this team has to punch above its weight to succeed. when i watch liverpool it looks like a load of effort for the side to succeed,and when ever they take their foot of the pedal just a little bit it goes all wrong.
alonso goals scoring record before coming to liverpool was about 1 in 14 so i don't expext him to start banging in goals even though he has the ability to. finally people are seeing that sisoko is not ready for the prem he lacks strength,power,heading ability, passing ability, shooting ability and has to be 1 of the slowest black guys i have ever seen. but apart from these minor faults he is the new patrick veira.
chelsea players are not playing above their natural ability so when they lose after going on a long run its no big deal, which is why they return to winning ways quickly.
teams like arsenal and liverpool are filled with players like traore and segan which means once the team lose after going on long run they return to their normal state which is not very good, unlike chelsea's players who are very good.
its like going for a jog , usually you can't run past a certain point but every now and then you can run a bit further. hopefully as time past you can run further but there is no certainty. liverpool has players who could do something but then again they might not.
i think its time to bring in some big guns instead of messing around with these beginners.benitez talked about having options when linked with figo so where is this option.
