Thanjk you.

Here at last was an opportunity for Rafa to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Chelsea fans at the injustice shown during the game.
An over the top challenge by Sturrridge? Ref does nothing, Rafa says nothing.
An equally bad challenge on Oscar from Shelvey? Ref does nothing, Rafa says nothing
Luiz Suarez takes a bite out of Brainslav Ivanovich's arm? Ref does nothing, Rafa says nothing.
Liverpools equalising goal is scored by a player who should have been sent off and is assisted by a player who should have been sent off and Rafa says nothing.
Imagine if you will that the Chelsea manager was a certain Jose Mourinho or perhaps Alex Ferguson, there would currently be a huge Sh*t storm on the horizon.
He has Demba Ba ready to play who is cup-tied for the midweek game and plays Fernando Torres for 97 minutes when of all his inadequate displays in a Chelsea shirt he customarily saves the worse for Liverpool and now he'll have a ready-made excuse for the Basle game too.
He removes Hazard the one constant thorn in the Liverpool side and replaces him with Benayoun a player who is literally the last choice for any manager at the helm of the club.
John Terry, 10 times the centre half of anyone else at the club watching from the bench.
Frank Lampard the worlds goal-scoring-est midfield player, watching form the bench.
John Obi Mikel the blue dustbin starting almost every game despite doing very little week after week.
Rafa spent the entire post match interview desperately trying to avoid upsetting Liverpool, frightened to criticise in case he lost friends and another chance on Merseyside. I actually now believe that as weeks go on he is doing his level best to ensure that we throw the entire seasons campaign away as a way for getting the club back for the "interim" tag.
I'm looking to you now Mr Abramovich to clutch this viper from your breast and boot it back to the Wirrall where it crawled from. Today would be nice before it's too late to salvage anything.
