Liverpool cannot seem to heed Rafa's words on a Monday and keep calm
PICTURE: GETTY IMAGESWant to know why the Reds don't like Mondays?
WE'LL tell you.
After directing a season that has crashed around his ears Rafa Benitez could feel miserable any day of the week, but the Liverpool boss can be excused for treating Mondays with particular disdain.
You have to go back to New Year’s Day 2007 for the last time Liverpool posted a Premier League victory on a Monday – a 3-0 win over Bolton.
They have failed to win six Monday games since, including last week’s dismal 1-0 defeat at Wigan, and will be looking to put that right by gaining a success over bottom side Portsmouth tonight.
The pressure continues to grow on Benitez, who is 7-4 with
Bet365 to still be in charge of the Reds on the opening day of next season.
The Midlands firm go 100-30 from 9-2 that neither Steven Gerrard or Fernando Torres will be at the club in September.
Best match prices are 2-7 Liverpool with Paddy Power, 5-1 the draw with Ladbrokes and a general 12-1 about Portsmouth.
