LFC : Work In Progress

A 0-2 lost to Tottenham at home was not an ideal result especially when it was the last game of the season (at home) and both team are eyeing for the europa spot next season.

After so many great things happened prior to the match the fans was expecting the team to continue their buzzing form. Kenny Dalglish made one change from the line-up against Fulham last Monday. Andy Carroll started replacing the injured Raul Meireles.

Tottenham was kinda lucky and fortunate that on the 8th minute of the game a Rafael van der Vaart's volley went into the back of the net. It took a slight deflection from Johnson's foot that obviously had Pepe beaten. It was a good volley and nothing can be done by any of the Liverpool players.

Liverpool tried to pick themselves up after the first goal but Spurs played a very disciplined pressing game. Their players were all over us every time they lost the ball and when we have possession we can't somehow keep it very well.

Van der Vaart

Liverpool went further behind in the 2nd half when Luka Modric converted a penalty. A debatable decision made by not a very friendly referee on the eyes of the Reds faithful - Howard Webb. A shoulder-to-shoulder challenge between Pienaar and the young Flanagan just outside the box somehow was seen as a foul by Mr Webb. Unlucky for the young full-back.

Taking away the dubious penalty decision from Mr Webb, Liverpool will still be trailing from the brilliant van der Vaart's goal. Spurs defenders played well and I have to say Dawson was the man-of-the-match. We have ourselves to blame for the defeat.

Reality check ! We lost and it might cost us the place for next season's Europa League. Yes King Kenny is back and yes the team is playing good football. But Liverpool FC is still in a 'rebuilding' process. We as the fans have to keep our feet firmly on the ground.

It'll be great if we can win the league next season. But Liverpool needs to be consistent. Results like this will definitely costs us next season if we were to win the league. We definitely need players with quality that can sustain their form till the end of the season.

We are one point less than Spurs. We just need to continue giving support to Liverpool FC and hope for a better performance, better result next week against Villa while hoping Spurs to falter against Birmingham.

YNWA !!
