Fair enough. Sterling has been outstanding this season but he does still have things to learn particularly defensively where he is coming up against players who are physically stronger than anything he has faced before. No one is questioning his skill or work ethic either but players only learn from mistakes and constructive criticism

He's 17 of course he has a huge amount to learn. For me thought he is as good as Owen or Fowler at that age.

Tika Tika will take years to embed into the cluub ethos. Time we do not have.

Total football would have been the more logical step in the right direction.

Not allowing defenders to do long balls is ridiculous.

No matter what anyone thinks. Having crosses into the box requires someone to get on the end of it...

Suarez is out tallest striker.. Whats his ratio for heading?

Carroll had the best in the league last year at 65%... Why he didnt get 10 games or so in a row to prove himself I'll never know.

When He, Suarez and Gerrard played we looked good...



A few points to mull over:
More goals come from low balls into the box than high balls.
An attacker's height isn't anywhere near as important as his positioning.

Andy "king of the headed goals" Carroll, scored 4 headers for us in 18 months.....

Don't believe the hype.

CarheeX, I think the post was about whether the Tiki Taka stuff work for us. Agree that AC did not have good season for us, though according to me he was improving towards the end of the season.

Coming back to Tiki Taka, do you think that this would be our future and we will be seeing improvement quickly enough for us to have a better sesason than the last one (finishing better than 8th and winning at least one cup)? What's your feeling?

in this style you need to press very quickly and for the players on the field to cover their nearest outlet to slow down the counter... we are not doing it

you also need to make simple passes in danger areas and Gerrard is primary responsible for constantly failing in this
