at least jones is improving. In fairness , i dont think he could get any worse. jones used to be brutal at gathering the ball and commanding the box. with the exception of the oldham game he has vastly improved on crosses and is a terrific shot stopper. I prefer the player who is the better of the two

It's disappointing that his father is touting him for barca which in my opinion he wouldn't do if pepe didn't want to leave and at the same time he is performing badly for us

In Reina we have a former top keeper, that means sometimes he will pull out class saves, and sometimes he's gonna make howlers, and everyone will be critical cause he's not the keeper he was. He is past his peak, that is obvious. I don't think he's as bad as some make out though, he made some good saves against arsenal.
One thing I do think is is clear though is that he doesn't have the passion he used to. I think he isn't as in to liverpool as he was in the Benitez days, think he's lost some mates at the club and as he isn't a world class keeper anymore he isn't as looked up to. I could see him wanting to go to spain, the things that once were are no longer present to keep him here and passionate about Liverpool.
Fortunately as he is right now, he is replacable, 2/3 years ago, we would not have been able to get a new keeper of his quality in. Unfortunately he actually fits the Rodgers style of keeper perfectly, not all keepers do.
In reality GK isn't the most pressing position, but also we could get in a better keeper than Reina. He's a decent keeper now. Will save us a goal in one game but may cost us one in the next. To find a better one that is worth the change my cost a bit. But also I could see him being happy to leave in which case it isn't a big deal, he's quite easily replacable nowadays.

Goalkeeping and defending mistakes were never more evident than in these last two matches. The two biggest matches of the year and they threw away four points. Such a shame.
Hopefully they look for a replacement should Reina leave, or at least bring in a young guy to back him up and give him some matches to bring him along.
Does Enrique have a true back up at left back? Seems like nothing but center backs and right backs coming off the bench for him.
Two areas that need shoring up this summer in the transfer market.

agreed, LB is a weak position.
what you have said strikes the chord best though about the errors. we were about 15 minutes from glory today, it should have been bodies on the line!!!! instead it was just people shutting off. thats a problem that BR needs to address asap in order to really start motoring in the right direction.

He came from Barca, to bring us Joy
He's five foot seven, he's football heaven
please don't take my Luis away.

thought that meself pops, if sturridge had been on he would have been there. anyone notice carra nearly scored? commentator called him "fox in the box jamie carragher"  I noticed right from the start of the game that he was going up for corners, which he hardly ever does, and he got forward during a few moves too. He must have just realised that his goals tally is in the negative, and wants to try rectify that before he runs out of time  Is the stat that he's scored as many goals for spurs as Liverpool still accurate? Well he got 2 in 1 game for United a few years back. carragher has scored more goals against Liverpool than anyone I think, more than Shearer, Ferdinand, Ian Wright, Andy Cole and Thierri Henri which is some going...

in fairnes to him, he is often the last desperate line of defence, if you are there long enough you will pick up a goal or ten.

I think confidence plays a big role in that. I think we just need to beat one big team and then it will happen for us.

yea maybe, but it disappoints me not to see everyone putting themselves on the line to hold on.

Only Tottenham, Chelsea and Everton remain on the schedule. All three matches are at Anfield, too. They could always do well in Europa as well. Going after Aly Cissoko from Valencia this summer could be a good start. He's only 25 and could help ease the burden on Enrique. Keeper, ter Stegen.
