microcosm

The Reds secured three points yesterday at Villa Park in the dying minutes. Fernando Torres was once again on the mark. An important win and a reliable player! Well, there were some highs and lows this year. The second half of last season was a high, without a doubt. It was amazing to watch the team playing. They were never so close to the title in the last years than in this one. The first half of this season was very much a low. Looking at the table, there's a gap of 12 points to the top spot. Crashing out of the CL after the group-phase wasn't funny, continuing in the EL makes it a little bit comfortable. I can't still understand Rafa's tactics, it's a miracle to stay in touch with the international spots in the table. Maybe the second half in 2010 will be satisfying us fans more. Otherwise the club and Rafa should think about a change of the manager persona.
