Liverpool will win tonight,because anything less will plunge the club into further turmoil.Defeat at Spurs on Saturday showed that there is a serious lack of direction and the constant drip,drip of defeat is plunging Liverpool into the category of also-rans.Saturday,s lifeless performance with no-one to guide inspire or guide them reflected appallingly on an expensively-assembled team.
But it's the whole approach,the whole philosophy,that is driving even the deepest-dyed Reds to despair.
The best teams do not go out fearing the opposition.They go out believing that they are good enough to win,believing as Arsenal and Manu do,that attack is the best form of defence.
Sorry about the cliche,but the point needs to be made that this Liverpool team,even acknowledging their recent good run,seldom play like free spirits but,rather,like a team that is confused.O.K.,we all except that it is not possible to win tight matches with breathtaking football.Sometimes ugly is the best option.
But the soul of the team,particularly Liverpool teams,must be fired by a spirit of adventure,on edge-of-the-seat ideals.
A little bit of an article in the Daily Post today.
THERE'S A GREAT BIG BEAUTIFUL TOMORROW SHINING AT THE END OF EVERY DAY.
THERE'S A GREAT BIG BEAUTIFUL TOMORROW AND TOMORROW IS JUST A DREAM AWAY.
