Being a Liverpool fan means pain. We lost 1-2 against Blackpool at home. We are languishing third from bottom. We are supposed to be a good side. A top side. An European side. Why are we so lacklustre now? We should have a good side, but we aren't performing to our potential. I am not going to rant about the American owners or the manager. Whatever the problems off the pitch, we should have players who are proud to put a Liverpool shirt on, proud to play on a pitch and being professionals, pride in themselves, if only to increase their own value. The likes of Steven Gerrard, who has played his entire career at Liverpool, are rare, with most players happy to be mercenaries, playing for whoever pays them the most. And maybe that is the problem. They get the money no matter how they play. Maybe we should have contracts that pay for performance and results, with no pay for matches lost, pay deducted for yellow and red cards and own goals, and a bonus for every goal scored.
I don't know, all I want to do is cry.
