Where do you start? How good were Portsmouth or how poor were Liverpool?
I won’t bother rehashing the match itself, needless to say Portsmouth were the best side and deserved to win. One of my favourite football clichés is The Wheels Have Come Off.
Well, Rafa’s motor is up on blocks, nobody saw who took the wheels and it looks like the MOT is out of date as well.
Liverpool are running out of excuses. The old chestnut about them relying on two players is wearing thin, especially when both of them are playing.
In contrast, Avram Grant seems to be working wonders at Portsmouth. They appear rejuvenated and ready to avoid the drop, which seemed inevitable only a few weeks ago.
The Great Escape’s on already and it’s not even Christmas.
