Aquilani better be superman or we're a bit screwed

Win away at that little teams ground (which we will), win at Home against Fiorentina (which we will) and we've got 9 points. Very few teams fail to get through with 9 points. If we can get at least a point in Lyon (which we probably will), we'll definately qualify with ten. So that's that sorted, we'll get through in the Champions League.

Now as for the game against the Mancs, my guess is that cauldron of Anfield will be the hottest it's been since Garcia's goal put Chelsea out of the Champions League. That Chelsea team was twice the team we were, but the crowd and fate carried us over the line. This Manc team is currently only slightly better than us IMHO (if at all in truth), and I expect the fervour of the occasion to carry us through by two clear goals, comfortably. I don't to be honest expect it to be enough to propel us back into the title race as I think that's gone, but we can at least land a body blow on them c...s which is something. If someone can break Owen in half at some point during the course of it, we'll all feel better.

As I said on a couple of threads earlier, you don't change managers mid season and we shouldn't change this one. You can't assess where we are until the things panned out in its entirity. That said, if he does go and you are looking for someone who knows what it takes to win the title with two different clus in England, and would instantly have the respect of the players and fans, we do have one working for us at the moment. In at least a caretaker capacity, he might do quite a good job.

We can't complain about the result, Lyon were the better team for me, even though it was a sickener to concede so late.  They slicked it around the pitch better than us and crucially looked more dangerous in the final third, just as Sunderland did on Saturday.

We looked disjointed, disorganised and devoid of any sort of ideas going forward.  It was an awful performance, in fact tonight's game and the Sunderland game are two of the worst Liverpool performances of Benitez's regime.

We have officially hit rock bottom lads.  Gerrard injured, Torres injured, all but out of the Champions league and the Mancs have the chance to knock us out of the title race on our own patch in the next game, they'll fancy it too.

That said, a win against them and as others have said a 4 point gap is recoverable over 28 games.  Can you honestly see it though??  We've lost against EVERY half decent side we've played this season, it's fu.cking horrendous form.  You have to believe and all that, but you just can't see where the next win is coming from can you?

Its amazing what a week can do in football mate, just lately every week seems the same. Theres not a lot optimistic to talk about in relation to LFC at the moment

We CAN recover from the situation we're in. I'm going to stick my head on the chopping block and back us to beat the scum and qualify for the CL proper, we might even offer a few surprises along the way

lucas bashing again, ngog was by far the worst player on the pitch, lucas was lucas, nothing fancy

they took their chances, we didnt, simple as that, i still dont get rafa, whats wrong with kuyt and babel up front, why the hell was ngog playing the whole match

off lucas bashing, the man is virtually non existent in midfield and we may aswell play with ten men.

this is quickly starting to look like the houllier regime
