Yes Eddie what indeed a mess we are in. And what if no DIC takeover was on the horizon? Without that to at least cling to, we would be all in throat slitting mood!!!! I have no confidence in Tuesday, how could anyone? I have followed LFC since Shanks day and today is perhaps the worst of all since then.

This cannot go on - but the imbalance of the blame has to be put right.
I have no idea what the Yanks are up to - and at the moment I not sure it is the priority.
100% of the mess ON the pitch is down to one man. Benitez.
The Yanks have put the money up for Torres, Skrtel and allegedly Mascherano - it is Benitez who does not play the right team. I am no fan of the Yanks but you have to put this into perspective - it is blatantly obvious the players now think Benitez is a loser.
In Istanbul we had two Benitez players in the team - the rest were bought, developed or managed by Houllier / Thompson.
We now have been through various signings and not a single improvement is in sight. Nunez, Josemi, Morientes, Gonzales, Pennant, Crouch, Benayoun, Leto, Itjande, Arbeloa, Aurelio, Kuyt, Voronin all of them nothing but total bloody average. Benitez is a tactical waste of space living off a night 3 years ago. A night when we got murdered for 45 minutes - injuries forced Hamman on to the pitch and the players saved the day. Remember standing in those car parks outside the Ataturk with mobiles going ten to the dozen. "KEWELL IS PLAYING" couldn't believe it then - can't believe the bloody loser is still here. But he will be playing Tuesday night - that's why Benitez took Babel off yesterday - Kewell is playing against Inter.
Rafael Benitez is a total loser - everything has gone down hill from that night. Since he dismantled the Houllier / Thompson squad and signed nothing but average players - and don't forget the Yanks where not here for two years of that. I'm not defending the Yanks - just make sure you look at the facts - this mess is 100% down to Rafael Benitez.
He cannot motivate, he has no respect of the senior players. He is totally stubborn and his ONLY interset is HIS reputation in Europe. Benitez is hiding behind the Yank fiasco while the team on the pitch is becoming a laughing stock - and he is getting away with it because the priorities are wrong. Whoever comes in, and if DIC are the safest bet, then so be it - there has to be one cast iron certainty to put this club back where it should be - BENITEZ GOES. Whatever white rabbit he pulls out of the hat on Tuesday remember the pain of Burnley, slaughtered at home by Arsenal reserves, Luton Town, Havant & Waterlooville and now the mighty Barnsley. "We controlled the game - I cannot understand why we miss so many chances" That's easy - the strikers are shit and more importantly they don't care. If Crouch was playing for his place on Tuesday against Barnsley then he should hang is head in shame. BENITEZ NOW - YANKS LATER - Whatever happens on Tuesday - BENITEZ MUST GO. Don't let this loser off the hook - do we really look like Champions of Europe ? Sort the Yanks, Parry et al out later - it is our duty to get this prick out. BENITEZ NOW - YANKS LATER.
