PURE DISAPPOINTMENT

Louis' Comments..

What a disappointment! We just lost a match we didn't deserved to lose and our opposition was not playing well at all. We had tons and tons of chances, clear-cut chances, open goal chances, we only scored one. I'm gutted, really speechless.

In football, you just can't afford to miss chances. You miss your chances, opposition will haunt you back by punishing you. Craig Bellamy, the scorer of our first goal, missed so many one on one attempts on goal. Yes, the pitch plays a part, however, you must be clinical in your finishing. Dirk Kuyt, had a great chance in front of goal after a good turn, had his shot way off the target. I really wonder, did he know where's the goal is?

When you can't kill off the game, you will bear the consequences. We were LEADING the game, end up, we LOST it. 3 points gone. 7th defeat of the season. All AWAY matches. I just couldn't understand. Why is our consistency level still not there? Are we just not good enough? Seriously, I do think so. Not good enough to be top 2 in the league, let alone champions. Not good enough to challenge the likes of Chelsea and Man Utd or even Arsenal.

Both Man Utd and Chelsea won their games. The gap went further. It's back to square one. SO WHAT we beat CHELSEA AT HOME, when we can't even maintain our winning form and capitalise on the THEIR SLIPS? We are definitely not consistent enough, not dominant enough to challenge them, sad to say.

The players should know what they should do. Yet, they could make mistakes at the back, conceeded a stupid goal and gave a stupid penalty. How can you make such mistakes? Be it Newcastle, Reading etc.. We are facing the mighty Barcelona next week, and you just simply can't afford to have that room to make mistakes, they will punish you heavily.

It's seems to me that.. Liverpool is going to have another unperforming season. So much prospects and hope in the beginning of the season always seems fading and faded at the end of the season. I'm afraid, this season is no exception.

I have always said the current team is simply not good enough. Zenden, Pennant, and now Reina. They don't belong to Liverpool. Kuyt is slowly fading away. We can only look forward to next season when the American dollars will hopefully bring in some truly world-class players.

Yes, I agree to a certain extent. The current squad is not that good enough to challenge the top teams. However, some players have improved such as Pennant, Reina.

As you say, I'm more of looking forward to next season when we have more money to buy better players to improve the team as a whole.

Cheers.
