Liverpool out of the title race

Conceding out of the title race this early in the Premier League is something not expected from Liverpool. A club of tremendous reputation and stature, it is shocking to see how the team turned up to play against Arsenal, only two words to describe the performance of the Reds at the Emirates - Pathetic and Disappointing.

I couldn't have believe it that this team was capable of turning the table and won on one of the most glorious nights of the Champions League football against perhaps one of the best teams in the World - AC Milan. Today, the team looks nothing the sort that could stand up and fight with their heads held high, instead, they are crestfallen today.

Liverpool lacking in depth in their defence, with Reina over-rated keeper, disappointing Carragher, aging Hyypia, Pathetic wingers in Pennant, Kewell, and Zenden, overhyped Crouch and Bellamy, and most of all, unbelievable decisions taken by Rafa Benitez in rotating the squad. Perhaps it is time someone remind this Spaniard that Liverpool ain't no Valencia, and squad rotation work ok if he does not switch Gerrard out of position in every single match.

Since we are out of the Title race, maybe it is good Liverpool should not look forward to winning the Champions League again, or the FA Cup or not even the League Cup, because this team need a beating in their head before they wake up and realised the Club is bigger than any one player or their manager. They have let the Club down including all their supporters worldwide.
