Read all about it as Rafa reflects on the missed opportunities.
I for one, was stunned by Lucas performance. How did this guy ever become a Brazil international? Why in the world did we fork out 7 Million pounds for him??
In any case, our consolation was that Arsenal Lost, Chelsea Drew and Man Utd drew. What a waste!

Alonso came out and set things straight for critics and doubters who still insist on their stubborn belief that Liverpool are not serious title contenders.
The table don’t lie. We’re sitting joint-top seperated only by goal difference (albeit a HUGE goal difference) and it’s still too early to say that we can win the league but, surely, even the most hardened reds critics have to concede we stand a good solid stab at it this season.
In an interview, Alonso insisted that Liverpool will play their style and win the league their own way. Hurray for Alonso! I, for one, have never ever doubted alonso’s ability. Together with Gerard, I thought we had the best central midfield pairing. It’s Stevie G & Alonso anytime over Mascherano or (yikes!!) Lucas. I can’t imagine why Rafa wanted to offload him. Stevie G was quoted saying that Alonso is practically ‘unplayable’ when he’s on form, and coming from Gerard himself, that is big big praise.
Credit to Alonso too who dealt with the barry sage, Juve saga well and he’s turned in some absolutely wonderful performances for Liverpool I’ve ever seen. For me, he certainly is one of the classiest players around!

Before I look ahead to the Bolton match, let me just rant about the spurs match ok?
Liverpool were AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL! HORRIBLE ATROCIOUS. THEY SUCKED!
It’s performances like these that make Dirk Kuyt look good. (If he played)
Damien Plessis can’t pass the ball to save his own life, he just can’t pass the ball!! He looks extremely uncomfortable on the ball and nervous when on the ball, I think 90% of his balls are wayard balls.
Degen and Dossena. Where shall I start? Degen’s performance can be summed up pretty much by a word - crap. Dossenna…why the heck in the world did we sell off Risse and bought Dossena for 7 million pounds I can’t fathom…
El Zhar was SLOW, he lacks pace…can’t see how he can ever make an impact on a game. Fact is Rafa don’t have the midas touch when it comes to grooming youngsters like Wenger. He may say that Arsene Wenger paid big money but lets not forget Rafa spent BIG on several non-performers..

Ok, back to the Bolton match. We’ll have our big guns back and looks like Stephen Darby will be selected to play…things should get back to normal - with a scrapy 1-0 victory.
Ok, enough of negativity

I was watching the first 20 minutes of the match on TV when a familiar feeling greeted me. More of the same old same old liverpool struggling against a bottom side (no disrespect to Albion!). Albion played well in the opening minutes and the second half, credit to them not trying to defend in numbers. If they did, I’ve doubts if we would win 3-0!
Watch Highlights:
Let’s take a look at the positives.
We manage to lead without Torres, sure he’s an important player but we won’t crumble without him! Kean scored a brace and I cannot imagine why Rafa took him off instead of Kuyt…actually I can. He has an obsession with Kuyt.
We didn’t concede a goal! Granted, the attacking force of Albion doesn’t exactly strike fear in defender’s hearts but its still a good clean sheet especially considering we conceded 3 goals in the past 2 games.
Still too early to say how close we are to being genuine title contenders but as long as we keep winning and picking up 3 points, we’ll be there or thereabouts!
