This Season has been a strange one ,and while I am sure, I am not alone in wanting to eradicate the heart stopping games that introduced a form of kamikaze defending not seen since the days of Babb and co ,I strongly believe (hope) that the likes of the Arsenal home game and Chelsea away will not raise their ugly heads again ,whilst being spectacular to watch ,it has no place in the logistics of Liverpool's play for the future .
I ardently feel that Liverpool's form this Season has been exceptional ,especially the latter part of the season (albeit for the sporadic annomilie ),as for the infamous draws that have been the subject of much conjecture ,sometimes opponents base their entire Season on one game plan ,with the emphasis firmly being on defending for their proverbial lives ,and just sometimes are more accomplished in that aspect of the game ,then there is luck ! whilst it follows the Mancs around with subsequent glee ,it can be for Liverpool an unforgiving mistress ,to say the woodwork saved some of them less illustrious names that visited Anfield and deprived us of points ,would be a serious understatement .
I think next season there will be no place for Lethargy ,no room for complacency ,no quarter will be given ,no place or home for nearly men ,or the obligatory valiant losers ,no half hearted tackles ,no sporadic injections of heart its all or nothing ,no more finishing second .
I expect Rafa to oust all of the above .
So finally in summation ,I would like to offer the following points for next season ...........................
1. The realization that Benitez is the best manager to take us forward and to build an eventual dynasty ,the likes not seen since Shanks n Paisley .
2. The atmosphere at Anfield :Has at times this season been a disgrace ,and a source of much amusement to opposing fans .
3. Whenever you have a quiet moment with your thoughts ,away from the hysteria and conjecture the Media drags up ,remind yourself how lucky you are to support this glorious team ,whether you be from Liverpool or Timbuctoo
4. Leave the hate and condemnation of your team to the Mancs or the equally abhorrent Chelsea fans ,enough people truly despise us without us slating ourselves ,let the plasticity of the modern fan not fester in your words ,leave the bile to the Media .
5. Finally and most importantly lets believe people "Lets Believe" .... how many managers have left Ferguson a quivering wreck ,he knows we are coming and there is little or nothing he can do to stunt the resurgent Liverpool's evolution into something seriously resembling the majesty of our illustrious past .......
So what would your 5 pts be ,what priceless pearls of wisdom would you put forward for next season lets call them Rules to live by ......
Brilliant post. I too am convinced that Ferguson fears his worst nightmare. Arsenal and Chelsea while rivals are not us and I hope is legacy is retiring when our resurgence knocks them off their perch
