I am beginning to question the creative ability of several of our players on the offensive end. I will say that I like the energy of the back line, though Gomez has been shaky at best. Lovren has done very well, as has Clyne. Skrtel is always a risk/reward player.

I expected Milner to play a bigger role in feeding the ball in, especially with Teke/Lallana/Cou out front of him.

Size (or a lack thereof) is hurting us. Coutinho and Lallana are both small, can't win air battles. He do is average height but is SUPER WHITE. Teke is the only one really winning headers aside from the back line, but he sends them back to Stoke at the midfield stripe every time.

Also, I want to see more crosses like the commentators were mentioning. It is like nobody knows how to dribble to the byline and jet a pass across the goal.

Hopefully this is just a team that needs a little more time to gel. I like a lot of what I see, but some of it will burn us sooner than later.

We've always known our attacking guys were small, so why are we playing the ball in the air to begin with?
