the siege mentality... haiz... that was the archilles' heel when rafa was with valencia as well. guess that is the problem when u get players who approach the game so methodically, just like rafa. i couldnt see anyone trying to do anything to grab the game by the scruff of the neck. such dropped points, if it still continues to occur, will cost liverpool the premiership title until this is solved.

that's why instead of buying a few players of international quality, liverpool is more in need of a couple of "out of this world" players to make the difference. someone to provide that moment of magic to break the balance of the game. but i somehow feel that liverpool also needs a few of those players who can grind out a result when the going gets tough... yes, i m torn, and it hurts to see them play so badly against a poor man city side. if this team can only muster 3 shots on target against a poor team, then they really dont deserve to be challenging for honours.
