i actually thought markovic looked alrite yesterday..ok he didn't actually get into the game but when the ball came to him he looked good. i blame most of yesterday on balo. he is just doesn't run the channels ,we had no target and thus villa defended easily...he is sh1te. Need to play two up front especially at home v a side who are known to park the bus. Drag the one striker out wide and you have the opposition fukked. Blame Woy to start with and then BR for not starting with Lambert. But probably worse than both was the performance of Borini when given the chance. Hardly got a touch.

Are you serious? Come on, our midfield barely got the ball to anyone. Lambert had like 2 touches and that's it. You must be kidding.

Too many pretty players with no end product. Marko, Lallana and Coutinho have nothing on Silva, Navas, Oscar and Hazard.
Too many mediocre players, and that's what you get when you buy ass loads of cheap potentials, mixed with a couple of mid table quality. Also there's something seriously wrong with our defensive coaching, it's just a circus at the back every time any team puts in any kind of attack. Cheap potentials huh? So who did we buy that was a cheap potential in the last window? The only thing cheap about all of this is some of the Liverpool supporters, unfortunately.

Lallana got more goals and assists than Oscar, silva, and navas last season.

sometimes the team ethic of ball retention is working against us.we have bought players with pace who can go past defenders.but theres a risk of giving the ball away when they go on a run,so they didn't.that game was crying out for someone willing to take people on.it had to be done.

The main problem we still have is in the "engine room". Although i thought Lallana did ok, we still have a massive sink hole in the middle of the park. Gerrard sits/strolls at the back mostly and Henderson runs but is no ball wizard and never wants to hold the ball when challenged. Hopefully when Can is fit he will fill the void.
I was particularly disappointed in the lack of spirit many players showed. Villa out fought, out thought and out ran our lads.
Credit to Roy Keane for his influence on the Villa players.
What is a concern is how a team like Villa, who are no world beaters, can quite comfortably contain and beat us at Anfield.
Stats may say that Liverpool had most of the possession with the pass sideways and backwards and repeat, but Villa were certainly the better side on the day.
Very disappointed.

I think Gerrard is getting more stick than he deserves going on Saturday's game and I'll admit to thinking he needed dropping prior. He was actually outstanding for me against Villa. Did you see how many Hollywood passes he pinged out wide and I can't remember one that didn't find the man.
The problem was then subsequently we did nothing with the ball in the final third. He can't be playing that deep and then be in the box doing what he did under Raffa can he.

The "pinged" balls did find their target, but mostly the receiver proceeded to pass the ball backwards or sideways and it ended up back where it started. and in many cases i don't feel the "pinged" ball was the best option anyway.

If a guy in the final third out wide can't make something better of those sorts of deliveries we really are in trouble. If they then passed sideways (and you are correct) or worse backward then where does the fault lie? Surely not with gerrard?
