re: Liverpool FC 2011/12 Season Thread

He just has to be on good or bad right? He was horrible against Everton, but at the end of the day he had a goal and sometimes that's good enough.

We don't have anyone who just lingers when Suarez is creating so the onus is on him to always score.

I don't know how you can possibly hate him first off, works hard, fantastic player and there isn't a bad word said about him from anyone.

Being a Manc and a Mexican I should hate him more than anyone, but I cannot do it. fricking love the kid. Never want him to score against Pool, or the US but after that I hope he scores hundreds.

But my god he'd be perfect for us.

Torres and Suarez together btw. Stupid arse Fernando

Why not? At this point it seems like the biggest problem is the inability to convert opportunities. We've tried Downing and Henderson with Suarez up top, Kuyt and Suarez, Bellamy and Suarez...someone has got to fricking get in goal.

Kuyt needs to see the bench. He can't continue playing as a forward. I know everyone loves him, but I just can't stand it. His offensive presence is invisible. He never seems to be in the box and seems to play more defense than offense. I understand his work rate is unmatched, but we need fricking goals.

Next game I want to see:

Suarez-Carroll-Downing

Carroll was in for 10 minutes and had a nice headed pass to Suarez (he was barely off) and then narrowly missed a goal. We need to be disciplined while he is in and not just throw up balls to him ever possession. He is often times double teamed and it ends up making him look terrible.

this... dude has a monster work rate, but it doesn't equate to anything....

its seems to me, there's a lot of "watching" going on with Liverpool.... players seem unsure of where they are supposed to attack going forward with Suarez, and being they are all relatively new playing with each other, they are not familiar with how the ball comes off the foot of their new teammate...

i think we have some good pieces (one too many in the midfield, that we may need to look at moving for another striker, if you ask me), but they don't know exactly what to expect out of each other on the pitch... that will come with time as they play together more and more, but for now, they are getting their feet wet out there, and because they were/are great players for Pool or other teams, we figure it'd be a seamless transition once they were all on the same roster.... not quite how it's worked out thus far...

that being said, we are light years behind Citeh, but we are catching up to an aging Chelski, and could possibly (with the right personnel on the field) match ManUre in a year.... but Citeh looks too good right now, and all that money they have spent has paid big dividends.... they will win the Barclays this year, and it's really just a fight to finish 2nd, i'm afraid....

I've been questioning Kenny's tactics more and more recently.

4 wins in 9 games isn't going to cut it.

I know the team still needs to gel. But man this is frustrating. Frankly, this team has sucked to watch so far this year. Very little excitement and a whole lot of disappointment. The Norwich match was emotionally draining to watch.

I think at this point Carroll needs to start. It really sucks he didn't start this weekend, it was a great match to regain form. There were several excellent crosses into the box that he would have had to work with.

Well of course I understand that. I was just saying that the overall quality of the crosses yesterday were higher than normal. I know if he's in then the crosses aren't the same, but I assumed the quality of them would be.

And he had a nice layoff to Suarez (he was off though).

I noticed that also. I have no idea what Kenny was doing there.
