Week 18 - pre Christmas

Just when one thinks that Liverpool is on track with a string of good results, they take on Aston Villa at Anfield and lost 1-3. While being disappointed, deep down I was thinking that this might be a good lesson, to bring the team back down to Earth.

This loss has shown that there are lots to work on. Surely the team now has achieved to be able to pass better, keep possession. But they need to know, perhaps Brendon, and the owners need to know that having lots of possession without scoring is useless. The team cannot be overly dependent on L. Suárez. I hope that this a lesson that the owners would consider spending some $$ for a proven goal scorer come the January transfer window!

Back to this week's team, I did bandoor C. Benteke, however I decided to let him go, this is because, I feel that the performance that Villa put up against Liverpool is once off.

In view of J. Defoe's form now, I added him along side S. Long and my resident strike L. Suárez.

The only change in the midfield department was A. Taarabt, I got a feeling under Harry Redknapp, he will start to shine! Lets do hope he scores more against a not so in-form Newcastle side.

With huge amounts spent on A. Taarabt, I am only left with  money for Fabio and Piscu. They may be lowly priced, but their price per points will be pretty good if they put in a good shift!

Have a great Christmas and happy holidays!
