Reds need to rethink world domination plan 

"ALTHOUGH we have won something today, that is not us finished, we don't want to stop here. We want to keep going."

The prophetic words of Mr Kenny Dalglish after Liverpool's consummate romp past Cardiff (3-2 in a penalty shootout if memory serves me right) to win the 2011-12 League Cup final.

Well actually, Kenneth, that was you finished. Three months later you'd got the heave-ho.

And that was Liverpool finished as well. Unless I'm much mistaken - and I think Wikipedia will back me up on this - Liverpool haven't won anything in the three years since that day out at Wembley.

But here we are, three years on, different manager, and the same old garbage being spouted.

Here's Brendan Rodgers going into the semi-final against Chelsea. "Winning a trophy, a competition, could really bring the future of the team on. Over the last ten years, Chelsea have shown once you win the first one, you can go on and sustain it. They will tell you that first trophy was the most important."

I'd worry about winning the first one, Brendan, before dreaming of a new world order, and let's be honest, you might well not be winning the Capital One.

Haven't a club the size of Liverpool got someone on hand to tell the manager not to say anything that might make him look faintly ridiculous in, oh I dunno, about six weeks, when they're out of the League Cup, out of the FA Cup, out of the Europa League and yer man's out of a job.

Liverpool might be improving but Chelsea are a class apart and I don't give the Reds much of a prayer over one leg, never mind two.
