Who are ya?
I'm not going to have a pop at Liverpool today, for a change, despite their 3-1 defeat by Fulham yesterday. Instead I stand totally and utterly bemused at how this side can ever be considered title defenders outside of the Liverpool supporters club and the Big 4 fixated media.
But surely this Liverpool squad has to be the most anonymous in all the 40 odd years I've been watching football. It looks like Rafael Benetiz has done his shopping using You Tube, Fantasy Football and Scrabble along with a few kids who turned up looking for some casual work on their gap year!
They're not a two man team. Far from it, their strength is 50% more than that. But the rest?
Voronin, Kyrgiakos, Lucas, Insua, Ngog, Degen, Spearing, Plessis, El Zhar, Dossena, Eccleston, Gulasci - who are ya?
The squad is thinner than the walls of a two bob whore house in Bangkok.
But compare that with his backroom staff of thousands and you understand the inconsistancies. Half the team travel to games on the train, there just isn't enough room on the team coach. And as we all know, travelling by train in the UK is enough to play havoc with anyone's state of mind. And all that changing at Crewe!?!
Liverpool will not win the Premier League under the Spanish waiter. This season, with a squad weaker than both Tottenham (just writing that sends shivers down my spine) and Manchester City they could well struggle to stay in the top 6.
