Liverpool manager
still having to play Man City and Chelsea (both away) and Everton in
the not so distant future, Brendon Rogers has an uphill task trying
to settle an expensive Liverpool squad. If Liverpool mange all these
above fixtures come November liverpool will be staring at 5 defeats
already with no chance to enter the top four by the end of the season
in an already very competitive season with teams like West Ham and
Crystal Palace. Rogers is going to be in trouble early november if he
looses this fixtures and the liverpools faithfuls turn on him unless
he finds a way to turn thing around. Even if does loose the games if
would good for liverpool to get rid of him in November or December
and try to recover by the end of the season with a new manager. But
then again the liverpool saga continues with a new manager coming in
mid-season, trying to to damage control and not having to expect much
loosing the competitive edge again for another season. Again change
of coaching staff come new season new player preferences by the
managers. Fans getting excited with the changes and giving the new
setup to produce some results taking some hits in the process. How
many times have seen that!!!!
On the European
front as far as the group stage is concerned Liverpool is in a fairly
easy group with Bordeaux, Scion and Ruben Kazan. But the form that
Liverpool is in no one has the confidence that it will sail through
the group stage. Liverpool is like royalty in that group but still
have doubts of easy qualification. On the bigger picture it liverpool
can't compete commandingly in a europa league that what is the point
of having Champions League dreams. What is the point of entering into
a competition which your certain to not win, where is the conviction
to play. At the end of the day it's purely financial , being in the
champions league for the loads of money. Arsenal seams to be doing
that, looking at their performance in the Champions League. Arsenal
has not even the slightest of chances against the stronger teams of
Europe and they even go on and loose to Dinamo Zagreb a Croatian
team, How the mighty have fallen!!!.
Moving on to
Liverpool current plight, they seam to be at a delicate stage with
not much going their way specially for Rogers. There is one ray of
though with Sturridge being fit and playing. He seamed sharp as
always at the Norwich game, didn't score but came close by a Milner
through ball only to hit into the goalkeeper. Unexpectedly Coutinho
was a disappointment, was'nt looking like the sharpest and the
nimble footed like he is. Dani Ings did score openning his account in
the league but only for the team to concede one through a corner.
Nothing much is click for the team and with the coming months its
going to get much worse lets see how they come through as Rogers job
is on the line.
