And despite comments earlier made in my depression after the Bayern loss, missing the CL won't be the death blow it was to 'Pool.


Hard to say how Arsenal would recover, but it really didn't hurt LFC that much. What hurt Liverpool was the period after we didn't qualify, when we needed to reinforce the squad, and, instead, fired our manager, hired Hodgson, bought Konchesky and fricking Poulson, almost went into administration, fell to the relegation zone, fired Hodgson, hired Kenny and bought Carroll.

Losing Xabi, Arbeloa, Masch, Torres, Benayoun and Hyypia hurt, but I think we could have survived it had Rafa been given backing to rebuild the squad. Instead, we fired him, which is one of the worst things to do in that situation.

Yeah, I guess what I meant to say was, Liverpool missing the CL was indicative of other things. It was a symptom not the cause of your recent downturn. It didn't spiral you out of control (even if you would've liked the extra money). Us missing the CL would merely be a symptom of our less serious illness, which really, we can only speculate about at this point but *seems* to be nearing the end.
