Wings!

You know wat Rafa Benitez (Liverpool FC’s coach) and I have in common? We both have this weakness for wings!!!!

I absolutely love chicken wings! It is prolly the most tasty part of the chicken. I love deep fried wings, roasted wings, BBQ wings, etc!

Well, Rafa have this thing for wings too – except it is a different kind of wing!!! He has a weakness for left-wing players!!!!

Now we have discovered what Rafael Benitez's weakness is: wingers. Or, to be precise, left wingers. To Harry Kewell, Luis Garcia, Stephen Warnock and John Arne Riise, he has added Mark Gonzalez and Boudewijn Zenden. Luis Figo could give the Spaniard a seventh option on the left flank.

Liverpool, the city of Militant, have more left wingers than the Labour government.

But it is not necessarily a bad thing. The writer of the above article went on to say “But the focus on wingers suggests a recognition from Benitez that Liverpool need more than a counter-attacking masterplan to succeed in the Premiership”. He oso realised that the left-wingers of Liverpool are actually very versatile and can play in many different positions – strikers, left-back, right-wing.

Well, methinks Liverpool would have been so much better off if Gerrard had left – but so much has been said about it that I won’t go into it now. Anyways, it is purely academic – at least for another year!!!
