You'll Never Walk Alone

I have to blog about this..

Over the past 3 weeks, since i came to Finland, my beloved Liverpool FC has drawn consecutive matches and fell from top of the table to 3rd.

Confidence is low and the Liverpool bashers are out.. Forums on Soccernet and Liverpoolfc.tv are filled with taunting and the crying for Rafa's head..

It's obviously quite frustrating to see the team dominating matches but not get the results.. even more so when Man U seems to be hitting their form.

But i just need to make this so clear.. That i'm not ready to throw in the towel! This is what makes Football so captivating.. I truly believe that the team is about to hit an unbelievable streak.. Liverpool always does well in the 2nd half of the season.. After last season's January slump, the team won 12, drew 3, lost 1, making them easily the best team over the 2nd half of the season.

Considering the fact that players like Torres, Mascherano, Keane, Skrtel and Agger are playing so so far below the levels we know they can. I just have a gut feeling that everything is gonna click in real soon. And under the leadership of Gerrard and Carragher.. i'm secretly confident..

19 years is a far too long.. the best way is to shut up and get the results on the pitch.. starting with Chelsea tmr night..

And as a supporter of the team, what i can do is get behind the team and start singing.. If anyone needs a reminder of what singing You'll Never Walk Alone when we're down and out and half time can do.. look to Istanbul 2005.. Call it luck.. call it complacency on AC Milan's part.. but the Liverpool came back from 3-0 down at half time to win the Champions League. That was the most amazing night of my life as a fan.. but i know.. seeing Gerrard lift the Premier League Trophy will so easily trump that..

Come on you Reds! You'll Never Walk Alone
