I'm confused by a lot of what you said. I want us having a good go at the cups like we have this season and challenging for the title. That should be the least we expect as reds.
If i'd said to you at the start of the season that we'd win two cups and bring through Raheem into the first team, would you have been happy or not?
Were playing better football this season than we have done for years. Rafa's style of football was negative and boring to watch. The stats are there, weve created more chances than any other team this season, hit the woodwork more than anyone, had more corners and missed more penalties than any other side.
Luck's luck mate. You know what i mean, every team needs it.
Made up for Raheem Sterling. The kid was different class when he came on. Legend in the making, what a breath of fresh air he is. He'd be in my side from now on.
- Liverpool Football Club, have you not seen the thread name.
- I don't see this season as a progressive success, 1/2 cups is great but we're further away from the Champions League places than in any if not all of the last 3 or 4 seasons & we can all say what we want but thats where we all want to be.
- If we got into the European Cup as well then yeah, 4th 2nd 3rd is a lot closer to a title challenge than 7 or 8th & Liverpool being close or actually in a title challenge would be progression.
- Thats my point creating chances, I said we don't create goal scoring chances but seen as you've seen most or all our games this season I'll take your word for it. The bar stat is a bit silly but I kind of like the fact we've got it, corners, come on man thats just nitpicking everyone gets them & if we had more shots on target some of those corners would have been goals, some of the penalties have been poor.
- Sorry I'm still not buying the 'luck' thing.
I've been waiting for Raheem Sterling to get his chance this season but I wouldn't say we've brought him into the first team, didn't he play about 6min & if Maxi was in the squad then he wouldn't have been this is what annoys me with Kenny always going on about you can't just throw them in as it could be a bad thing in their development, err Ronaldo (Both), Messi, Rooney, Owen, Gerrard, Oxlade-Chamberlain not to mention all the Barca youngsters who have been given their chance the last two seasons, I know Pedro hasn't had a great season but in his breakthrough season he scored about 20 goals.
So why can't we just throw Sterling in there & seen as we're struggling for some creation & goals play him just off Suarez, he's willing to use Jon Flanagan but Sterling & Morgan have to play in the NextGen Series, only at this club would that happen.
sweetsugar007 the money spent is a bit silly but apart from Carroll I think the quality of players is good, José Enrique's been up there with Martin Škrtel this season, Jordan Henderson is only 21 & is playing out of position which at this club isn't a surprise, Stewart Downing is a good player to have in the squad & when playing 4-4-2 in the team, he probably looks bad to some because everything needs to go through him as we haven't got a right winger, Charlie Adam is also a good player to have in your squad given his passing he was quality early on alongside Lucas but has faded due to having more responsibility due to Lucas not being there, Andy Carroll, just a waste of money I don't care what anyone says he's shit & looks like he'll never improve any part of his game!!!
I said we are poor tactically & can back this up with the form of the East Lancs road team, how shit have they been for a season & three quarters but still look like making it 20!!!
We lack creation & this is proven by the fact we've made 977 less passes than Tottenham.... Who by the way are in 4th!
This is from 6 days ago since then we've played better than QPR played shit against Wigan & got zero pts & Tottenham have drawn with Stoke & out played Chelsea to earn 2 pts.
Great post this sums up my feelings entirely,i have been all over the world watching this club and am totally beside myself watching us struggle to score a goal. The players are good enough they need to be let off the leash. How many times have we set up with just one up top when we should be going at teams like Fulham and QPR with a 4-3-3 for those of you old enough to remember when Dalglish was last in charge it was exactly the same then. He is naturally very defensive and cautious.
