Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers
says his side’s chance of winning the Premier League has gone after the 3-3
draw at Crystal Palace.
The Reds blew a 3-0 lead at Selhurst Park and now top the table by a
point from Manchester City, who have a game in hand and a superior goal
difference.
“There is no doubt Manchester City will go on and win it,” said Rodgers.
Everything and I mean everything lined up for Liverpool this season,
they went out of the cups early they didn’t have any European commitments and
City and Chelsea were slipping up and dropping points you’d never expect them
to, and yet despite all this Liverpool have somehow managed to blow it.
Last night they were 3-0 up with 12 minutes to go and instead of
thinking job done we’ve put the pressure back on City they decided to go and
try and score more and make up the goal difference, and I was going to say completely
forgot how to defend but I won’t because it looked like they didn’t how to
defend in the first place.
Out of the top eight only Tottenham have conceded more goals and look at
all the issues they’ve had.
The word naive is a perfect fit for Liverpool because they thought that
they could score their way out of situations and not need to defend, despite
the fact that every other team that’s tried that have failed.
Also as Liverpool will have European commitments next season this season
represents the best chance they’ll have in a long time.
And for all those praising the job Rodgers has done he’s managed to mess
it up at the critical moment despite having every possible advantage, all because
he became too fixated on trying to blow teams away and thought, despite the
evidence, he could get his team to win the title despite not being able to
defend.
