The one on the left makes it a lot lot worse.

Any reaction to Del Piero going to the Australian league rather than play for them?
 
RAWKs "allowed" sources to post from;

So what can you post?

liverpoolfc.tv is clearly definitive (apart from the press round up)
The Echo / Daily Post (unless it is reporting other papers' stories)

Beyond those two, I am afraid you need to think.

Wow that's 19 points from 22 games. You'd end up with 33 points with this kind of form and I don't think anyone ever stayed up with so few.

Can you imagine if Liverpool went down :lol:

They won't but lower half of the table is possible. They had tough fixtures so far to be fair - West Brom are good at home and have beaten them for the third time in a row, City are champions and Arsenal are a good side.

Their form at the end of last season when they kept losing to mediocre team was quite worrying for them though.

Yeh, I'm with you on this. It could end up being mid-table with their away form. They have Sunderland after the Internationals - can you really see them winning that? And obviously we've won more at Anfield in 2012 than Liverpool!

They'll reinvest in January, surely.

Sunderland away? Not many teams will win there this season with O'Neill and his solid football around, I certainly won't expect Liverpool to win there. Then they play us at home and will probably win it seeing as they always do well against us.

After spending £100m on crap I think their owners might be reluctant to another spending spree to be fair. They could have built a great side with the money they spent on Carroll, Henderson, Downing and Adam - £85m!
 
There's been rumours doing the rounds lately: one is that Rodgers feels he's been misled by the owners over promises made when he took the job, and has told the players of this(!); another is that senior players (ie the usual suspects) are unhappy with his management/tactics. Surprisingly, the second rumour wasn't started by Rafa.

I meant to say - can you see them even getting a point?

Sunderland away is tough, but when a top club goes there, I reckon there's about a 40-50% chance of an away win. Liverpool have maybe less than 10% chance of winning there.

I reckon you'll do Liverpool at Anfield this year. It's about time, and they really are poor.

There is zero chance of Liverpool being relegated. Well alright, probably about 1%.

I thought encountering erotic fanfiction involving Rafael Benitez was a zero-probability event, but I couldn't resist searching, and I actually found one. Describing an impromptu encounter with none other than Jose Mourinho.

Sadly I can't link to it; it's too NSFW-YAWN (to quote Steve).
But I simply have to share some non-explicit excerpts:

[This is all from Rafa's perspective]

His gaze locked onto mine like an electromagnet. I squirmed internally, and tried to push down a general feeling of inferiority caused by far too many instances in which he had beaten my team at football while looking prettier than me and earning more money. Breaking his eye contact was much harder than shaking his hands off me, but I did both, and walked away.

[...]

“I have more respect for Liverpool than that,” I said, and the words tasted dry and bitter in my mouth, as if I were talking through a mouthful of aspirin. “I wouldn’t leave before the end of my contract.”

[...]
I turned away quickly, reorganised my clothes to prevent hapless kitchen aides being traumatised by the sight of my backside

It is interesting how this Liverpool situation completely mirrors what their owners are doing with their other team, the Boston Red Sox. The Red Sox are basically constantly in-fighting amongst their players and management to the point they shifted their best player in order to move along 2 of their massively overpaid players and start rebuilding their team, in the process they have become effectively a "mid-table" team.

The Red Sox players don't like their manager or his style, the manager feels underminded by the owners and their biggest rivals find it all quite hilarious. Sounds familiar really.

They have been poor for a couple of years now, yet play like world-beaters when we face them out there. Ever since 2006/07, in their case game-raisers title is perfectly appropriate. I reckon we'll get a draw down there.
 
Our last FA Cup clash at Anfield was probably the only time we were better than them in the last 5 years away. Still lost.

I feel comfortable facing them at home though.
 
We play good at Anfield but they usually raise their game and always manage something, weather it is pushing the wall or Ryan Giggs protecting his knob (was that anfield, forgot?)

I reckon it is time we smash them at their ground.

We don't play well there at all. 07/08 was the last time we did + a reasonably decent performance last year in FA Cup. Even when we're setting the world alight we've still found massive problems at passing AND creating these last few years.

Yeah your right :lol:

Judging by our recent performances I am starting to doubt our chances there again

Seriously, you've watched our Anfield encounters since 2006/2007 and can say we play well there and have no problems at creating chances while controlling their midfield?
 
And yes we should be able to stuff them out there this time round. At last.

No I was not on about all our encounters in that kind of way, Maybe i worded it work. I was saying that we COULD play well there but something would always pop up. Even if we are in form though we just seem to crumble there.
