KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum CONFIRMED TEAM V ARSENAL - MATCH THREAD

From the beginning I saw Caroll better than him, but who I am to judge, BR knows best. Another season wasted probably

Sorry mate, since the WBA game I've lost faith and unfortunately not getting any back. We played ok (not better than last year though) against City, but were relatively bad against a weak Hearts team and today was just a confirmation for me. I was not even surprised. But should I expect more? On which basis.

Sorry to say this, but, what is BR's achievement so far, to come 11th in the league + some decision maker (I don't know who) thought that we were one centre forward too many, shipping AC away without rreplacement + our owners believing we can play like Barca without investing too much. Are we in dreamland?

Save Borini, Rodgers' additions and decisions with the players we have have been good. Sterling, Shelvy, and Downing have all kicked on. Allen is superb. Sahin looks quality. Our problem is the the players we have relied on in the past are letting us down. Suarez and Gerrard have not been awful, but they have not been what we're used to them being. They have moments of class, but they are making mental mistakes, and they are making a lot of them. Lucas is hurt again. Reina has been awful. I feel for Brendan. He wanted Dempsey. With him or Carroll in the side, I can't help but feel that some of those chances go in.

We are in a bad hole/ I fear for our season because up top we've only Suarez, Borini and Sterling with Assaidi to join (Dont rate Downing). Gerrard had been sh!t for a while now. I was very optimistic before today but we are severly lacking a goal scorer, our midfield 3 keeps getting left behind by the opponents mid far too easy, Enrique is a liability in defence. Shelvey, Sahin and Allen should be our midfield after today, Reina as i said a week ago should be sold as he's past it (3 mistakes in a week that led to goals also) and in general i think we need to join City and Chelsea and just buy all around us. One more player is all we needed to sign and that should have covered us until January.

But remember how badly Spurs and Arsenal started last year, and Newcastle.

Sure, i get your point but there are a lot of plus's for me especially from the City game. Today not so good but our failure to keep the ball from the front is a big concern. Suarez i think is starting to get found out!
Feel sorry that BR never got the money KD got. Think he would have spent it more wisely.
Still i think we will be ok. Would have loved a proven striker though!

Do you think Sahin looked quality? Its early days I know but he looked a big fairy to me. There was one incident in the first half when arsenal were breaking on our goal and he just ambled after the aresnal player rather than bursting every muscle. Did not like to see that. And overall I did not notice him playing until he was subsituted. I know I am being unfair but first look today did not impress me or his attitude.

Why not follow by asking how well they did in the end?
And where were we?

It just highlights that a bad start isn't the end of the season. It's not good and doesn't give confidence but who's to say we can't finish well?

Come on..

Who s to say we are going to finish well?

wont be in the top 4 that is for certain .
