If Rafa's to blame, then so is Gerrard

[wildman]

Gerrard played only half the season up to now.

It's Rafa who buys players and picks the team!

How many times did Giggs have a bad season by his standards and Utd still won the league or at least challenged for the league?

Rafa/the americans failed Gerrard and built a team of average players!

what a load of bollocks, gerrard is not absolved of any blame he hasn't been good enough this season full stop, the same players were ok last year werent they. Yes rafa buys the players, in most instances probably his 3rd choice as his transfer budget is limited

gerrard doest seem to be much of a captain to be honest. very disappointed in that. nothing to do with injuries or form, we lack fight and passion. that comes from the manager but also from the senior players - none more senior than the club captain.

he basically seems to be ducking the fight. looks sulky and bored on the pitch and is silent off it. everyone is on our backs yet i've been reading masher and pepe talking more positively more regularly.

where's his leadership? wheres his defiance?

Liverpool's disastrous season is all Rafa Benitez’s fault. Of course, it is.

He’s the man at the top, the one who’s made all the wrong decisions, committed all the mistakes and must now pay with his head on a Scouse platter.

But as poor old Rafa is dragged by his absurd goatee beard through the streets of Bootle, permit me to add another name to the blame game mix.
Because from where I’ve been sitting, Steven Gerrard has had an absolute mare of a season.

He’s looked bored, listless, donkey-legged, sulky and less likely to score than that Premier League man who was caught in a Thai brothel. Everyone’s talking about how disappointed they are in Benitez. But he’s had to suffer a captain who has, by his own high standards, been woeful.

And whether the Kop want to admit to themselves or not, that’s one of the main reasons Liverpool are doing so badly.

I would say it is very likley you would score in a Thai brothel, no?

Err, why not post the link? Would have saved some agro.

I thought it is a bit too eloquent to be written by you anyway. :wink:

Piers Morgan? WTF?

[Exiled_red]

Not my article is it MATE.

Could you post a link with it then or at least state/quote is as an article from wherever, otherwise it looks like your own comments/opinions

[Reece]

I'm just going to close this thread, because link or no link, Piers Morgan's views on Liverpool FC are a complete and utter irrelevance.
