KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Who are your TOP KOP FLOPS/PLAYERS of this current season?

The above comments were aimed at henderson, not downing. Although downing was pretty poor as well.

My Tops:

1. Suarez, been consistent all season. Best player in the Prem.
2. Coutinho, since he came in has had such an impact.
3. Sturridge, just came in and linked so well with Suarez.

My Flops:

1. Skrtel, almost as if he's forgotten how to play.
2. Shelvey, has great games. Then a terrible two or three.
3. Allen, I really don't think he's been up to the standards that you'd expect for £15million. Hopefully something happens during the summer. The squad all gets sorted and we can see the best of these players next season.

1. Suarez
2. Sturridge
3. Gerrard

1. Skyrtel
2. Reina
3. Jones

Honorable mentions for best:
1. Coutinho
2. Carra
3. Downing
4. Henderson
5. Enrique

HM for worst:
1. Borini
2. Lucas
3. Downing (before december)

Tops
Suarez
Sturridge
Coutinho
Sterling
Wisdom


Flops
Downing still not got it. The number of winless games when we have started with him and Henderson is ridiculous.

Treated too harsh by too many
Allen
Shelvey
Henderson
although possibly still room for one of those in any starting line up for us. If two or more start someone is getting carried by the rest.

Sorry forgot to add Borini to that list of flops. True he has been injured but even when fit looks to be a whole division out of his depth let alone half a dozen league places.

Glad we got shot of Sahin. He did nothing either really. Had a little spell where he played well for 3 games but Allen had a run of good games 4 times as long as that and even Downing has put two good games back to back once.

Not a bad way of putting it at all.

there is not 1 defender who has a good season, Johnson and Enrique look gd going forward but rubbish in defence. maybe Rodgers is to blame as well,the way we play we r left wide open at the back

I know quality when I see it compared to you who is quick to abandon any player who goes through a bad patch. I stick by players like Hendo and Allen because they give everything for the team and have impeccable attitudes. You won't get them biting opposition players or using dirty underhand tactics. They give everything and that will ultimately always be enough for me.

TOPS

1) Coutinho - think he's a top notch signing he's going to be world class i think, and i mean world class, has had a few good games for us now too since he signed think next season he will shine.

2) Suarez - scoring goals all season, nominated for PFA player of the year, improved ALOT on last season, showed he's one of the best players in the world this season.

3) Agger - Injury free season, played the majority of the games and had some good performances, think if we add a proper class CB he could form a great partnership with Danny, keep Skrtel for back up.

FLOPS

1) Downing - Another shocking season, has improved but no matter how you put it, whether its £5 million or £20 million he's not a good player not the standard we need anyway, notice ANY time he plays well in the majority of those games he only looks like he's playing well but in fact Gerrard, Suarez, Sterling, Allen, Lucas etc were just having a bad game, Downing is crap and needs to be sold this summer as next summer he'll be too old to get a decent fee for.

2) Borini - Good player but cant see him making it at LFC or in the Prem for any side, if we can get 7 - 10 million for him i'd take it without hesitation.

3) Allen - Agree with Hendo he is a good player but he's had a terrible season be it from injury of quality i dont know but he hasn't provided anything bar a goal in the Europa League, £15 million wasted imo we should have gave him another season in the Prem with Swansea to see how he turns out and used that money to buy someone proven at the time, think he'll be a decent player alright but this season major flop.

WORTHY MENTIONS

Skrtel - Looks like he doesn't know how to play under BR, perhaps replace him with Stevie Wonder?

Johnson - Dont rate him as a defender much at all, good asset going forward no doubt but if we had Kelly at right back i believe we'd be more solid defensivelly and after we hopefully replace Downing have a decent winger out there so Glen/Kelly doesn't need to bust forward and leave us with just Lucas, Carra and Agger to defend.

Reina - Hasn't had a great season to say the least should have maybe saved Chelsea's opener the other day too, dont think we should sell though as its not a priority and we need more cover defensively.

Assaidi - Rubbish.

Lucas - Doesn't look the same player he was pre-injury, he looks clueless when tackling the last couple months always giving away stupid free kicks, what annoys me is some of our fans call this "breaking up the play" but in reality its costing us big picture wise in games, think we someone more powerful in there instead or even to rotate with Lucas because the likes of Yaya, Diame, Lampard, Kagawa, Rooney etc have all bust past him with great ease in games this season and will in the future unless we fix up that position.

I honestly think to get top 4 and i mean not competing with Everton/Spurs for 4th i mean up there competing for 3rd where we need to be we need 4 first team signings for in or around the £20 million mark a piece. I also dont see this happening and we'll maybe if were lucky add 1 each summer and thats not enough as were falling further behind as each month goes by. Buying 10 - 15 million players is all nice and tidy you get some good prospects who have impressed with former clubs but in reality that just doesn't cut it anymore and you need to sign the best quality available, something i dont think Buck/FSG/Ayre have the ability to do.
