LFC : How we'd lost it - they never really managed to 'get' it

Manchester United yesterday claimed the 19th English Premiership Championship and officially they have beaten Liverpool's record of 18 League titles. Credit to them because they have managed to be consistent in the league.

As a Liverpool fan I have to admit it was quite difficult for me to swallow the fact that Manchester United is the best team in England now but facts are facts. Nothing can change that. But lets us look at it from a different angle.

Liverpool last won the league in 1990. And it took Man Utd 21 years to finally beat us. What have we done for 21 years? I believe everyone that is associated to Liverpool FC kinda took things for granted. 18 was the number and everyone thought no one can ever beat that record and it was all right when Liverpool did not manage to become champions. Obviously Man Utd has managed to topple us now - all because of consistency. Liverpool FC has consistently being inconsistent for 21 years.

We thought we are so great that we let people with no insight about Liverpool let alone about football to become the owners. They even have debts when they were around. This hindered the development of the team. And we had the wrong people to do the business from the top level.

We used to have young players coming in - Jamie Redknapp, Fowler, McManaman, Owen, Gerrard and Carragher. Well for almost 5 seasons Liverpool was a 2 man team. Always being to dependent on Gerrard/Torres, Gerrard/Carrager.

It was never like that before. Yes we have the likes of Dalglish, Toshak, Souness, Beardsley, Barnes but at that time it was always about the team. The "Liverpool Team". Few individuals will always get the limelight but will always be supported by the whole team. And for 21 years it has always been a few individuals that supports the team. When these individuals got injured or suspended, the team suffered.

It's high time we get a knock on our heads. With the new regime in place - John W Henry, Tom Werner, Comolli, Dalglish, Clarke and the rest of the coaching team now it is the time for us to fight back! Now is the time for us to reclaim what is ours!

It's going to be an interesting time for us. With everybody supporting each other I don't see any reason why we can't get back to be No. 1 as soon as possible. To all fans stop worrying about the record that Man Utd have. Lets start to concentrate on us making more records and history !!

YNWA !!
