KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Season defining moments

So now that the footballing season is wellnd truly over and ply season is upon us, I would like to hear what your thoughts are, regarding the football we played and the players we have, who and what has defined our past season, what are the highs and what are the lows?

In my opinion a there have been 2 key factors which I would class as low points:

1. Our fairly low success rate at home this season, losing to underdogs at home is unacceptable to me, no matter whether we are going through a transition or not. If it happened once I'd be ok, but it happened more than once and must be rectified, definite low point.

2. Our inability to finish games off. Twice throwing away the lead against Arsenal and city has been really frustrating and could have had us in a different position had we gotten 6 points from those two games.


As far as the positives are concerned, I am happy to say there have been more than the above two low points. Namely:

1. The Coutinho signing. I chose this a the highest of highs from this season as I really believe that we are a different team with this lad on the pitch. He has been nothing short of brilliant. A huge well done to te club for getting this lad in! Fantastic business.

2. The development of youth with Sterling, Suso, Wisdom and Ibe showing some real promise, I believe this season has had a major positive effect on both their development and our ability to see where we are as far as youth is concerned.

3. The improvement shown by Downing and Henderson as well as the smart use of Enrique as a left wing, where he showed real potential as an attacking threat.


So, that sums up my highs and lows, what left a lasting impression on you guys this season in terms of the football?

carra coming back into the fold changed everything

I would agree with everything you have said in the initial post for sure. The positives are there and would agree with the negative points too.

I am also not overly happy with the constant weeks of 'we will get a top 4 spot' from the manager and team. Wish they would have kept quiet and just focused, as it was just more embarrassing when it didn't happen.

Also agree with a major high being Carra coming back in. He was looking out of it and exhausted, then after he came back in the side he was back to himself again. Up for it, holding the line and helping us to stop leaking the dodgy goals that we were up to that point.

We need to sort our set-piece defending and our corner attacking. Sort these 2 areas out and we'll have at least 15 points more.

We definitely need to sign someone who knows how to head the ball... both attacking and defending.

Douglas n diakiate ... Both players can defend and are good in the opposition box...

Only lost 9 all season won more at home scored loads of goals home and away , probably about eight to ten points of what liverpool could have got maybe draws home and away vrs city which easliy deserved victories same as the arse away , I have said it in earlier threads I think Liverpool did very well to get 61 points , it should be a stepping stone to get closer to 70 odd points and a cup run or two.

Sounds to me like you've just described Andy Carroll to be honest.

alot of the top 4 stuff comes from the media questioning though. We surely as a club must learn our lesson after Rafa was stitched up in this way 3 years ago. Even Wenger had a rant at the medias obsession in getting quotes from players and staff about placings - just to fill back back pages at the end of the season in a 'you said' fashion.

You'd be surprised how few of andy carroll's goals come from headers..

I know, but more importantly i think we might all be surprised if we saw How many of our clearanes last season came from Andy Carroll headers. He was a beast for us at defending set pieces, better than our defenders. I'm quite interested in how many goals west ham scored directly or indirectly from AC knock downs...
