All fair comments, agree with most of that. I'd add Kuyt to the negatives - I think he was very poor today.

Overall a very frustrating match to watch. On another day we'd have bagged 4 or 5 and Suarez would have had a hat-trick.

Yet another failure to keep a clean sheet. A centre back has to be the priority for January. Clearly Coates isn't ready to go straight into the first team as first choice, so we need to get someone who is, and I think that person should be Gary Cahill, and they should make him the priority for January. Sell Skrtel in the summer cos i'm sick of the sight of him. I get nervous any time the ball comes anywhere near him. I don't think he ever wears studs in his boots, he's always slipping all over the place.

To add to the positives, in a pool of negatives - chances - we created tons of them. Yes, we only scored 1, but it's a huge plus that we're making that many chances, and if we keep that up, we'll score plenty of goals. Their keeper pulled off some very good saves and we hit the woodwork 3 times.

I can't help but feel carroll would have scored with all those crosses if he had started. Suarez annoyed me diving all over the shop, and Kuyt works hard, creates chances but simply is not good enough to be a striker.His finishing is poor.

Goalkeeping - Why not give Doni a game? Reina made another poor decision that cost us two points - although he did save what looked like a winner for them.

Defense - How is Skrtel keeping Agger and Coates out of the team? For all the mistakes he makes we might as well just throw Coates in now - can't get what we're saving him for. I didn't think Johnson was that bad - gave the ball away less than Enrique.

Midfield - Gerrard is just wasted in that deep lying position - he didn't get forward or threaten their goal at all. Adam makes good runs but gets caught dithering when an incisive ball is needed. I didn't quite get the Henderson substitution when we needed desperately to win. Downing was very very poor again and should be dropped for Maxi.

Strikers - Suarez is industrious and creates so many opportunities - but he's wasteful and petulant when he should be calm and lethal. We sometimes get caught forcing the ball to him when other players are open - the Gerrard dependancy we suffered from has switched to Suarez. He also cries wolf too much and now gets no decisions from the referee. Kuyt was very poor again and should be dropped. Despite the usual criticisms of Carroll - we seemed to regain control with him up front and could have nicked it. Bellamy is very effective down the left and should keep his place ahead of Downing or Kuyt.

Manager - Waited too long to change things. Hendo should not have been the first sub as he doesn't offer an improved attacking threat. Carroll should have had more than 12 mins - his presence was creating chances in the box. KK needs to drop Downing and Kuyt, who have been very poor for two games.

1 goal? What about his 2 against city one against Brighton and one against everton he needs to play to get match fit and find form we need him in the team you can't expect a striker who hasn't played to be in good form strikers live on goals and confidence and when you dont play more than 10mins you can't have either
