KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Why is everyone blaming Adam?

When Stevie was also responsible for poor positioning and non-tracking back?

He didn't track back for the first goal. Neither did he for the 2nd. AND he was caught ball watching for the 3rd marking nobody.

Yes Adam was poor but I felt that stevie deserved a mention as well. He can be a top CM but he's just too indisciplined and at times lazy to be a good one. It's no coincidence that his best seasons under rafa was out right and as a 2nd striker behind torres. We seldom had good games when he played CM even with Xabi under Rafa.

The right thing would have been to play Hendo with Adam in the middle, drop carroll and play Stevie-bellamy upfront.

Agree that Adam is in a big slump! I think he should be dropped a couple of games and get him to work harder than most!

But i still think he could have a future! He is relatively young 26 and still could work well!

He can't tackle, can't beat the first man whenever he takes a corner or free kick, can't see an obvious pass but instead tries a 30 yard hollywood pass (which most of the time go horribly long). And then there's his tendency to hoof it up to Carroll, expecting him to feed of passes blasted towards his head. It's not just this game though is it, he's been very poor for quite a long time. Worst thing is Kenny can't even see it and still choses to play him.

I reckon give the younster Coady a chance

adam is shocking. hes does nt even look like a footballer, hes like a pub player with a good left foot

Adam is sh*t. Passed the ball off the field when he was playing a simple 10 yard pass today. gerrard was poor as well but Gerrards class and ability is unquestionable.Stevie had a bad one but will produce more top performances than the one seen today. i'm afraid Adam is what he is. a very poor excuse of a footballer. Awful. Absolutely awful footballer.

Gerrard has been out injured for 9+ months and has played well and influenced games since returning, today was an a bad one for him, he deserves a few games to get back to full fitness. Adam has gone from just ok to liability, he's a red card waiting to happen, his poor passing aside, he gave away 2 free kicks on the edge of the box today, Shelvey has to be the better option with what we have available.
