Did he say that? That would be as daft as anyone associated with Liverpool thinking they were the better team at Old Trafford earlier this season when they actually had their arses shown to the world. Same as at Anfield!
Must be parallel universes or multi dimensional phenomenon that caused Rafa's rant to have an effect on our seasons end, can't say there's been any real evidence to prove it wasn't just a coincidence and that our players couldn't hack it when it mattered, just tumbleweed and bluster from LFC haters with vivid imaginations.
Or maybe delude kopite have deluded themselves for years as to the probable root cause of their league failure that season
They have an effect but to claim they won you the league would be a stretch given all the variables involved in a title win. United won the league because we failed to make the most of the opportunity we had, drawing something like 7 out of 9 games in the period before and after rafa's words. It was an issue we suffered much of the season. Failing to put away teams. Essentially our home form was just not good enough. The draws were a consistent thorn in our side, and we were also known for a dodgy christmas period, which we dutifully stuck to
''We have lost a game. We need to respond and that is what we will do. It is a hard one to take because I felt we were the better team," It's very clear what he says
