Days after the unbelieveable 3 nil loss to Everton, I am finally able to write about it.

I am so glad I forgot to wake up at 4:30am to watch it LIVE (I love Sentanta). I caught it on my DVR (so hard not to say TiVo anymore, I miss it.)

Pepe is still the man, Rafa's golden boy, but I say the pressure is on. Jerzy is still on the bench ready to pounce. As we saw in the Champions League game against PSV, Rafa is not adversed to sitting players. Pepe is not focused, I blame it on his wedding during the summer, but that's just my green eyed monster showing, also probably the reason he wasn't the main man during the WC. BTW, Can anyone explain why he's not Spains #1 keeper? Everton aside he's got tons of clean sheets, the liverpool record of them.

Some (Nick Geber) are accepting that Rafa was benching Stevie, Xabi Alonso, Crouchy and Luis Garcia in anticipation of the Chelsea game this weekend. I am not that confident in Rafa to believe that one. I think he is still trying out combinations of players together, he hasn't had enough time to incorporate Kuyt into our line up.

Momo in the center alone during the PSV game wasn't enough to be a mastermind in the midfield, also when Alonso came in it only helped because he had fresh legs. WE NEED STEVIE IN THE MIDFIELD. I hate seeing him on the right. I think we are wasting his god given talent. My thought is we are trying to keep him in the England side by playing him there and allowing waste of a kit Lamps and the incredible Owen Hargreaves also in the line up. My solution bench loser Lamps! but thats England, we need to worry about Liverpool right now. Alternate Alonso and Momo with Stevie G in the Midfield. That's were he's the most needed right now at Liverpool. We need the man who creates plays and make magic in the midfield. Stevie to me hasn't been electric on the pitch yet. We need his dynamic personality on the pitch to get Liverpool through the season.

Also we CANNOT keep dropping these points if we've got our eye on the Prem. The loss to Everton, coupled with our draw of PSV, leaves us feeling pretty low coming in to Stamford Bridge. Chelsea is coming of####reat win against Werder Bremen and against Chalton (well dur), so I'm not too optimistic about even drawing those Chelsea skum. Maybe if this game was a bit down the line, say in December, we would have our act together to make a go of it. Liverpool is just not match fit. They better start getting their act together, it's gonna be close one at the top of the fixtures again this year.
