He also has a soft spot for Rafa.

I think he's in danger of having too much of a soft spot for Rafa.

I think there were a couple of stretches in there to be honest

I agree. I was more impressed with his articles when he was singing Liverpool's praises 12 or more months ago.

 

A guy like Lawton doesn't need to use a Charity Shield to back up his point, which exists independent of the evidence of that game.

Thought he should have slagged off the Chelsea fans though

That article is the writing of every fans hope - seeing a peephole in Chelsea's armour and trying to tear into into a fatal wound.

 

Its great where we are going but I would prefer he focus on Benitez and Liverpool and not use Benitez as a tool of Chelsea's destruction.

 

Its not Benitez that is the focus of that article, its an attempt take Chelsea down a peg or down and using Liverpool and Benitez as the hammer.

equally matched with his dislike of Moanrinho.

Yep, he despises Mourinho. The open letter he wrote to him last year was pretty close to character assassination.

[Guest Barcamania]

I don`t think he saw much of Momo last season if that particular passage is anything to go by.

 

Other than that silly passage, it was a good article.

Well, I thought he was talking about the years when Sissoko was in Valencia. Rafa bought him and he was... awful IMHO. He couldn't pass the ball at all. But then I read an interview where Rafa was asked smt like why this s***ty player is playing for Valencia? He answered that Sissoko had a great physics, that he could run 3-4 times more than an average player and his passing could be improved. Now I see what he meant...
