KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Just who was our worst player yesterday?

I know I will get probably get some reposnses saying support the team no matter what etc.. but it has to be said that after a full weeks training and planning for yesterdays game, at least half of them never turned up.!!

I am very worried about Lucas, If you can go back to posts on here from when he first started I always thought he would come good, and he did, but since the injuries he is a shadow of that player.
Downing and Henderson reverted to type yesterday and were useless (OK Downing only for 20 mins but he didn`t do anything before he went off to warrent special mention).
Gerrard only got going with 30 mins left.
Johnson again was awful! How this guy gets in our team and plays for England is beyond me, terrible defender and offers nothing going forward.
Saurez looked like he was using somebody elses legs, gave the ball away almost 30 times and is getting far too greedy which is costing us easy chances if he passes.
Sturridge, did he look like a player with a point to prove? useless yesterday.
Of the others only Coutinho deserves special mention, played some fantanstic balls through, the others played to their level but what a sad account that is for a team pushing for Europe!!

When a whole team plays badly it is usually for 1 of 2 reasons:

1) the opposition were formidable and out of our league
2) our manager failed to motivate and prepare the team


I'm going to have a think about which option is to blame for yesterday's result....

not a tough one is it.!

Didn't see the game yesterday, just watched the highlights on the official website and it looks as though we battered West Ham but couldn't find the net. Were we poor yesterday or was it just one of those days?

The thing that bothered me yesterday was how many times the team advanced into/around the West Ham box and then just tried some dreadful back heel or little tricky pass.

No-one had a good game really, didn't seem up for it. Needed someone to step up. West Ham clearly turned up for a draw though, everyone was going mental at the amount of time they were wasting from the off.

Didn't think we played that bad yesterday. We done enough to win the game, however West Ham did a brilliant job defensively and handled our main threat really well. Thought Coutinho looked our brightest player by a mile yesterday, looks a promising signing. Lack of motivation seems to be a problem as there is very little to play for, however that is not a good enough excuse for a professional footballer.

Coutinho, Agger, & Enrique played pretty well IMO, at least 7/10 for each of them, everyone else...not so good, but I think that was down to West Ham's defending, and after 60-70 mins of trying it looked like we just ran out steam a bit. Big Sam got his tactics spot on, especially with Suarez and if Suarez has a bad game for any reason, then the whole team deflates a bit and we revert to boring, uninspired football.

@ Carheex- I would say definitely a bit of both there. (1) Our opposition played very well defensively, which nullified our very attacking line up and (2) our players weren't prepared/ motivated enough to play against a team parking the bus and only really going forward on the counter attack.

Enrique played out of his skin and deserved a win. Agger was also good. The rest of the team weren't bad they were just simply average. Worst player IMO was Suarez

Time to bring back rafa.

Might as well bring back Tom n jerry..aka hicks n Gillette
