Before it starts, dont get this into a Chelsea v Liverpool thing....
Before it starts, dont get this into a Chelsea v Liverpool thing....
What....? This article isn't about our current form, it's about the season as a whole, that's quite obvious. We have played a lot better than most of our opponents this season, we just haven't been able to finish when required.. I think it is you that is watching a different Liverpool.
There are a lot of games that we could and should have won, such as the ones he listed, Norwich, Blackburn, Arsenal, and United, amongst others.. It's not an excuse, merely an observation, we are playing much better than we were under Hodgson, simple. Also, what makes you think he's trying to "gloss over" our failings by stating we've beaten some big clubs away from home?... :S
Again with the "relegation form" thing, the season as a whole has been positive.. Our recent form has been terrible, yes, but there is much more to our season than the past 5 or 6 games.. You don't judge Chelsea purely on their bad run of form they had a few months ago do you? No.
You really want to compare Chelsea's squad with Liverpool's? Chelsea, last seasons runners up with Liverpool, a club who have been struggling to even get in the top 6 for the past three years? LOL, okay then.
Anyway, regardless of our current form we are better than we were last year, we are moving in the right direction, unlike Chelsea... Just sayin'.
Henderson is being moved around way too much, Just play him in one position...
Carroll on the other hand id love to be wrong about, but ive never seen a footballer with worse technique, his first touch is awful and he cannot pass a ball... in the system liverpool play he is just not going to cut it

I think some Liverpool fans just don't want to admit how poor we've been. How anyone can say we deserve to be higher up in the league than 8th after being dreadful at home (winning 5 games all season) and having form since the start of the year which would see us in the relegation zone is beyond me.
Yes, I understand that we signed a lot of new players, and they need to gel; or we've hit the woodwork more than any other team this season, but at the moment it's just excuse after excuse for why we're failing to perform. On Sunday, not a single player looked like he cared, not even Gerrard. The only two who did were Flanagan and Shelvey, two of the younger players. Give them more game time, as well as Sterling and maybe even Suso for the remainder of the season, it's not like we've got anything to lose.
Oh, and don't say "but look how well we've done in the cups" - i'm sorry, but since when did we become a cup team? Whichever way you look at it, after spending £110 Million or whatever it was over the summer, this just hasn't been good enough. We're set to finish lower than we did last season and that was after the 'crisis' that was Roy Hodgson. Progress hasn't been made and people need to start answering for it. At least Henderson and maybe Downing look like they could be good players for us, but i'm afraid I don't hold much hope for Andy Carroll, especially if he's telling Dalglish to **** off because he was substituted (if rumours are to be believed).

I dont understand Dalglish taking him off vs Newcastle at that point in the game, too little time for the sub to do anything, and it made Carroll a massive target, which is pretty amazing considering how much booing he got during the game. Not that he helped himself at all mind.

Sigh, don't be ridiculous.
Can i just ask, whats this boardroom trouble and gerrard Problem you speak of, because it seems like flying rumours made up harm Liverpool further?
Gerrard is pretty crocked, the issue is that Liverpool need to find a way to either incorporate him into the side, or start sliding him out.
As for the Boardroom, lot more than rumour there, Comolli and Daliglish dont get on (putting it mildly) and I'd put money on one or both of them leaving or moving somewhere else come the Summer. If only it was rumours, then it could just be dismissed.
I disagree with Gerrard being crocked, The midfield he is playing with is poor, no help what so ever.. and he has shown since coming back we still rely on him heavily.. We definitely need to keep him there
Ive not heard any of this boardroom, so for me its still pretty much rumour based.. although it wouldnt surprise me knowing two people have to agree on transfers, that is never going to happen... If one had to go, its the one who dealt with the majority of the mediocre signings.. And im guessing that was Comolli.
I am not being ridiculous at all, watching him play is painful at the minute.. if you have been watching him you'll see how awful his general football skills are..

He is pretty immobile, and insists on those 40 yards passes. Definitely should not be playing CM. Which is a problem if liverpool want to play 4-3-3
No, you are. Carroll does not have the worst technique of any footballer you've ever seen. Unless you've only ever watched the Liverpool front three play football, that is.
I think that's what Mike. is getting at. The fact that you rely on him so heavily should be a warning. He's a 32 year old midfielder who has had injury problems recently. If you have to rely on him so heavily, then perhaps it's time to start phasing him out as a constant starter else something will go badly wrong.
We deffinatley need another CM, but with lucas back, a new CM and gerrard i dont think there is any need to panic about his age,
you're taking the **** outta LFC and you support Villa.. Nice, And although i may have been over exagerrating, i stand by what i said, deffinatley in the prem he is one of the worst i have seen, his first touch is non existent, he cant pass, he is slow... You get a player like carroll and you have to play to his strengths because he cannot play any other way
The way LFC want to play does not suit his style, and its the reason he is not playing well
