Good one Hustler.
This is exacly the time to make unpopular decisions and sacrifices. I have been very disappointed with Owen for 3 full years. Hyypia has been s##t for 2 years. Murphy has never been useful at all. I say replace them.
I have been a football fan for 20 years. I have been to Maracana, La Bombonera, Azteca, San Siro, Camp Nou, Anfield etc. I have seen great teams, and I know when I see s##t. We have built a team terribly short on SKILLS. Some of our players can't even perform the most basic activities. Carragher, Murphy, Owen, Diao and Biscan to name some of the worst offenders. There is no balance in our squad. All our strikers are small (except Heskey who mostly plays in midfield), all our defenders are slow, midfielders too similar. Our players don't have the physique to break down other teams and dominate games. We lack pace, stamina and strenght in key areas. These are only a few of the things than needs immediate attention.
My conclusions are based on rational thinking. I have disconnected my heart from my braincells. Of course I wish that Carragher could pass the ball, that Owen had strenght and determination, that Hyypia had pace and Murphy could dominate the opposition.
If football is banned in heaven. I'd rather go to hell.
