sorry karl - it seems a bit unfair to single out leiva. Your entire team where outplayed by the mighty claret and blue
you got a point, we definetly lost as a team yesterday. but i've questioned lucas leiva ever since he started playing reguraly and i cant see why benitez doesnt, even though most of his performances are terrible. i dont see what he sees.
i dont think we got what it takes this season, if you compare us to united, chelsea, arsenal or even tottenham we got a team with two, or maybe three stars and a whole lot of second-raters.
don't forget you are also managed by a Fat Spanish Waiter
Alonso seems like a big loss to me. The sort of player that glues a team together, and help others to play well.
i am not yet convinced by spurs or arsenal. Both tend to flatter to deceive. I am not sure either of them have what it takes to see out a whole season.
at the risk of sounding like i am gloating, I am so happy after that result though. It has been a long time coming.
