It was a frustrating weekend if your a Liverpool fan.The reds managed a sad 0-0 draw against the reliant Pompey,after a 6-0 win something like this is sad to watch!
My take on the game, i feel Rafa had a eye on the Champions League game and that called for the team selection. I think it was not a too bad result to be honest,yes we are supposed to be winning these kind of games if you want to genuinely contend for the league tittle but this time last year,we were loosing the away games for fun! But then again its a game isn’t it?

When i came in to the office in the morning today, the first thing my friend told me was…Rafa started his shit ha!
I beg to differ, When you have had 3/4 of your team away on international duty, your left with a handful of first team players..How do you prepare for the game?
You use these players and set the game play according to them, when your international players come back you evaluate who is fit and not and select accordingly.At the Liverpool camp even the second string of players are as good as some mid table team’s first 11 so its not too bad!
Its not the worst situation if you look at it, Liverpool is 3rd with one game in hand no injuries and Rafa managed to rest his stars!The current situation is we have a team of fit players, Rafa has the option of picking from a whole team from for the Porto game as well as the upcoming EPL games.
The other thing that people keep talking about is rotation, its funny when you hear some of the other fan just pay close attention to their facial reactions.Its hilarious, they seem like they know what their talking about…like they make better decisions then the actual managers.
As far as I’m concern its not rotation,its picking the right players to do the job.
There are so many factors in deciding a team, when you have the resources you should maximize it to your benefit.There are many elements then the best players on the field, i feel more then the best players, it should be the right players on the field! Gone where the days where the team depended on one or two players to spur them on game in game out(some teams are still like that
)
Its early days in the season but come Dec we will have a sign on who is challenging and who is chasing ,the league ends in May not Sept!
Btw…What a performance by Arsenal! Its always a pleasure to watch Arsenal playing the game and now they know how to score too!!
