I know, I cant remember the last time we scored 3 goals.

I just don't think they fancy him. (Carroll)

He doesn't fit into the style of play, with the players he has around him. In all honesty and respect, Newcastle played everything around him (with not as good players on offer as ours) and the players around him would get the best out of him. Comparing our squad to theirs, ours is not about that, at least since Kenny has returned and Carragher can't get into the team.

We have been playing in a way, which isn't resulting in goals, but a lot of it is very predictable and repetitive. We create the chances, but we just don't put em in the back of the net.

Our style is very much, Quick close passing, getting the full backs to push on and overlap. When we do eventually get it wide, we don't really look at getting a good ball into the box and when we do, we play for a corner. Service from wide is terrible, considering we apparently signed one of the best crossers of the ball in Downing. I just don't see it, its cutting inside all the time, looking to lay the ball of, or just smacked across the goal on the deck, in hope of someone being there to finish it.

I know some of you might go nuts, but Steve Finnan was a full back, who'd get forward, but OFFER A DECENT ball into the box.

The question I ask myself is this, If we play Downing, why aren't we playing Carroll?

That's why I feel that KD, SC and KK don't fancy him. We don't play the football to incorporate Carroll upfront, EVEN when we play wingers who are there to do just that. Downing and the other wingers should be looking to get that quality ball into the box for Carroll, but they don't. The last time they did was Enrique into Carroll against Everton.....and he scored.

They've seen what Carroll has to offer and in all honesty, it's limited. That's why I feel the reason is why he isn't always coming on of the bench (he did today, but hey ho) KD looks at it and thinks, what will he offer? Can he do something brilliant, when we need it?

He's not gonna pick the ball up, turn rapidly, beat a couple of players and rifle one into the top corner from 25 yards is he?

His game is not about that, if he has LOTS of time and space, then he can work, but if he don't it's all about laying it off, back to goal, and hoping to get on the end of a cross, (that just doesn't ever go in, in the first place)....and if it does, it's not good enough!

Charlie Adam was also pish tonight n'all, regardless of the penalty, I think we need to start shouting man on, every time he is on the ball. To labored.

Whatever the reason may be one glaring fact is staring us in the face WE ARE NOT GOOD ENOUGH.

Despite £100m overlayed on one of the strongest squads in the prem in 2010 despite our off field issues then. We should be doing a lot better than this I dont care how positive you are.

correct too many poor displays now to hot and to cold too many times

But to be fair, he has played on the left and offered nowt.

I do believe he prefers to play right midfield, in fact I'm sure I heard him say that in an interview on LFC TV. His right foot is quite good, I'd go as far to say he is 2 footed.

But he just doesn't get his head down and think, f*ck it I'm whipping this in. The first thing we are looking for is Suarez and sometimes, just sometimes, Suarez isn't always in a position to receive the ball.

I can deffo see another striker and a creative winger/attacking midfielder coming in, in January.

agreed,i thought downing had as good a game as anyone tonight.he worked his ass off.
its just sooooo frustrating watching liverpool play,it was very obvious that after the first 20 mins we werent going to score.how confident did you feel about us scoring the penalty?i knew it was goingto be a miss.

lads every player apart from reina were poor tonight expecially johnson he was shiit nearly cost us two goals and missed a sitter

Another poor performance in front of goal but I suppose fans on here will defend Suarez again for yet another game without a goal as just bad luck, the ball too round, the grass too long e.t.c. the whole problem is ALL our forwards have not been good enough this season Suarez, Carroll and Kuyt, 7 goals between Carroll and Suarez all season summs it up perfectly.

i think 4th place is beyond us now were just not good anouge against the so called weaker teams even if we add in january we still wont make it this year look forward to europa cup next year....

top 6 yes not top 4 mate , a cup team maybe not top 4 miles off it .
