YOU'LL NEVER WALK ALONE

Louis' comments..

It's January and we are in more than half of the season already. Liverpool has been disappointing. I don't disagree on this fact. So much expectations before the season has just probably be all gone by now. A title challenger, Big 4, etc. All these words i guess, we could leave it for the future seasons.

3rd in the league, 14 points away from leaders, 8 points away from 2nd place.
Champions League Knockout Stage (Vs Barcelona)
Out of FA Cup. (Third Round).
Out of Carling Cup (Quarter-final).

Is that any competitions that I left out?

We are just left with one cup competition and it's the Champions League. It's the most difficult tournament as all the strong elites are playing in it. We are facing Barcelona next, and I don't deny the fact that I would have preferred a easier opponent. Anything is possible in football, however, Liverpool is facing a tough test ahead. The fans will play an important role and it's really important for us to get a good result at the Nou Camp before coming back to Anfield. All i can do is to pray real hard.

Out of the FA Cup and Carling Cup within 4 days. Against the same opponent, both held at home, Anfield. 3-1 and 6-3 are the scores respectively. We lost both of them terribly. It's really damaging the team's morale for sure. Rafa Benitez has so much work to do. What about the fans?

For the FA Cup tie, the anfield supporters showed great support and cooperation with the JUSTICE FOR THE 96. Sang from the first minute till the end. Still sang You'll Never Walk Alone at the 89th minute.

For the Carling Cup, it was packed. I could see that all the fans wanted the team to get something out the game. Unfortunately, it's 4-1 by half time. It's really hard for them to swallow it, it's really hard. 6-3 was the final score and I could still hear You'll Never Walk Alone in the 90th minute.

Both YNWA sounds like crying, a pain from the heart to see the team losing. I could feel it. Truly can feel the pain and disappointment of every single Liverpool fan could have felt. I do not know how the players felt. They are the ones on the pitch, earn millions each week, doing their job week in week out, I really would like to know how they truly felt. I also wonder whether do they feel the pain we all felt when the team loses? Nevertheless, we have to keep our chins up and play the best we can.

As usual, in the league, we are slow starters. Lost to all the big guns. Lost in the merseyside derby. Lost matches which we dominated. Is this Liverpool? Even though I was born in 1989, I do believe that Liverpool is a team which should one of the tops in Europe, let alone England. I may sounds unrealistic based on the current Liverpool, but still, deep down, I do believe that we should be dominating, not chasing points and hoping others will drop points.

Rafa Benitez is someone who can do that. I do believe he can. He's trying real hard, trying to get his ideas into the players and play well in a style he want it to be. Players like Steven Gerrard, Jamie Carragher are the ones should be leading by example and not making mistakes on their own. Yes, players are also humans, they do make mistakes. However, mistakes are real costly at times. Just ask Jamie Carragher. He fell down and allowed the free ball into the legs of Thiery Henry. What will he do? They punished you severely. You just can't afford to make mistakes. Even you did, the team must know how to bounce back. My father always tells me that any Liverpool team in the 70s and 80s, whenever they lost a game, they will make sure they bounce back in the next game. I can't see it happening now.

Currently 3rd in the league and there are still many games to play for. Big guns will still have to visit Anfield. Anything is possible. We really have to keep our heads up and start winning games.
I don't expect much, but at least, we have to maintain our position and always be breathing down Chelsea and Manchester United's neck, and of course, at the same time, not allowing Arsenal, Bolton and Portsmouth to overtake us. In football, nothing is impossible.

Come on Reds!
"Walk on, Walk on, With hope in your heart.."

You'll Never Walk Alone..

cheers.
