Tottenham 2 - LFC 1

1. We lost. I'm not alarmed. Even though the trend is that the serious contenders for the champion spot must not lose too much. Hmmm... Man.U lost 4 games and still won the league. hehehe... No. I shall not try to pacify myself nor justify what is a pathetic result for us.
   


2. I have learned how to appreciate things when in a losing situation. That's what make a man becomes a real man. You respect your opponent's capability and perhaps, learn from the mistakes and when Tottenham come to visit Anfield, that's the time to show what you have learned, teach them back!!! And I must say, Tottenham fullbacks were really impressive.
   


3. So impressive that they were the ones who won the game, not the strikers. Robbie Keane had three open chances to score but he replicate his failure during his short spell in Anfield tonight. Both of the goals were from set-pieces and was won even before the tallest man were introduced. Harry Redknapp's approach is a pure football recipe. Get tall lanky guys as your fullback and may be a bit of a skill too would be a bonus and during the set-pieces, get them in the opponent's box... then you'll get the result. It's a simple, pure football formula.
   


4. But what about Liverpool? Aside from that sudden dashed from Glen Johnson... well.. he was anonymous most of the time. The worst would be Babel. Oh my God! He kept on losing the ball and can't even deliver a descent pass. Until the time of writing now, I still can't remember or memorised what was the system used by Rafa. Why must he changed things that has been proven last season? What's with having Gerrard playing almost every where on the pitch? Aren't Kuyt supposed to be our reliable right winger? Glen obviously need more time to adapt to the playing style. hmmm.... I shall not crucify my team simply because of one defeat. We keep it for later if we don't win against Stoke City...
   


5. As I said earlier, I'm not alarmed with our first lost on our first game of the season. I'm sure we'll improve and forget about this game. Supporting Liverpool over the years has cost me not only my sanity and financial ability but also taught me to be a modest man. The team is not infested with primadonas, not a favourite to many sports news editor and the younger generation prefer not to be associated with a team so-called `the greats of the past'. But I will not changed a bit. I've just renewed my LSCM membership last Friday. I paid my dues to the club. And I'll keep on blogging about this team. No matter what. That's what a loyal fan is supposed to do.
   


6. And now lets find a way to withstand all the mockery, teasing and banting tomorrow from our office mates...
