"Has the Liverpool bubble burst already?" SimonM Don't want to be accused of being a sunshiner here, but I do think that Liverpool's "dip" in form, may be making a mountain out of a mole hill. Yes we've had a few lousy games, however with the exception of Marseille we've ground out a result. How many times were United lucky last season and managed a last grasp goal? Commentators will say that this is the stuff of a top side, who will always manage at least a point. With Liverpool, its all doom and gloom. We've had one of our best starts to the season in a long time. Our new boys, Torres, Benayoun and Voronin have all found the back of the net, with superb goals. Yes we're fourth, and six points off the pace - but I'll bet that a lot of supporters would have been happy with that at the start of the season. To quote myself and a few others on here - it's a marathon, not a sprint ;-) Honestly, if you look on the LFC forums they're calling to sack Rafa. If this is still the case at Christmas then maybe it should be an option, but personally I don't see it happening. I don't expect us to the win the Prem, but I do expect us to make the likes of Arsenal & Manure's lives difficult in doing the same. :))
