Well whatever the reason, at least he knows we can manage without him so he might buck his ideas up.

maybe jumping the gun here but in our last 3 league games we have finished far stronger than the opposition. I bought in BRs philosophy of high levels of possesion based on the fact that it forces teams to tire and therefore gain more opportunities late on.
looking mainly at the Everton and Chelsea games and bot were two good sides that seem to punch themlselves out. last 15mins in both these games we were looking like th team to win and arguably a disallowed goal and a less than perfect Suarez touch away from two wins.
This for me is encouraging as I felt under Kenny we were a spent force by 75mins.The hope is a the season takes hold teams do tire more and that maybe give Liverpool more opportunities to grab late goals and wins. Hope thiere is a trend developing here and more importatntly we take advantage

Good point.
I noticed that the chelsea attackers stopped harrassing the defenders when they play it out of defence, towards end and this when both teams were looking possible to score the 3 rd goal.

Very good point. Chelsea tried to press at times high up and it takes its toll later on in games. Chelsea also would have been less rested than the majority of our players after their midweek exploits. I think it certainly shows the difference in the closing stages between a rested team and an unrested one.
A sample of 1(ie Carra) does not suddenly disprove all the science behind that fact. Great to see him put in a shift again today though.

As others have said, excellent point, cp. Another vital issue, and one that's maybe tipping the blance out of our favour at the moment, is the lack of strength on our bench to bring on at these stages of the game and inject pace and threat to really punish the opposition. Hopefully with a bit of strengthening in January we may start to see the fruits of this pointswise.
