What a journey it was for my favorite football team; Liverpool Football Club. After a tough season long battle, we ended the season on 2nd place, our best finishing in recent years.
As a fan of this great football club, I can say that I'm honored and happy that our club gave our all to secure 2nd place ahead of clubs like Chelsea and Arsenal. Of course, I'm bitter that we lost out of the title race to Manchester United by a mere four points. Adding salt to wound, they have now equaled our record haul of 18 league titles; our last came 19 years ago.
Apart from that, this season, we had improved markedly. We had the best 'away' records of 13 wins, we're unbeaten at home (though the home draws killed our title chances), scored the most goals (and critics say that we can't buy a goal) and kept a healthy 20 clean sheets.
Again, Torres and our captain Gerrard played a great part in the title race. Just too bad, they got injured or else..... who knows where the title might end up? The ever so hardworking Kuyt, fearless Carra and commanding midfielders of Alonso and Mascherano has become the spine of this great Liverpool team. A must mention is the farewell of our legend Sami Hyypia. After a wonderful 10years at LFC, yesterday's match at home against Spurs is his last in our famous red jersey. He nearly got a goal and that would be too perfect a send off! He deserves every standing ovation that he could get. Wish him good luck in Germany and maybe we'll see him back as coach in a few years time.
I'm just hoping that with this improvement, Senor Rafael Benitez can be given more fund to improve the squad further. Buy better players to see that we can maintain a consistent push for the English title and also for Europe. Let the young guns have a go at the domestic cups tie.
Maybe next season, ManU fans can cry....
You'll Never Walk Alone!
