KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Jamie Carragher: Liverpool won't win the title

Understand completely what Carragher is on about but you do need to look at the table at the moment. We have dropped points to sides who we would EXPECT to be in the bottom half but truth is Newcastle Burnley and Watford are all in the top half. And not only by drawing against us. Watford beat Arsenal and drew with us and Burnley beat Chelsea and drew at Spurs before we played them.

What needs to be addressed is how to get 1-0 up in games against teams we dominate (and to be truthful should beat out of sight) and just hold onto 3 points. The other thing is not to underestimate the opposition and try and understand what they are going to do and have a PLAN to beat this. Mourinho is always going to park the bus at Anfield. Not sure who they have been using this season but you know they are going to be fouling and spoiling when you see the likes of Young and Herrera playing. And they get way with it.

For all our possession we don't overwork goalkeepers as a high percentage of our shots on goal are off target. And EVERY keeper playing us is entitled to one brilliant save each game. Sometimes the rest just the takes care of itself and teams walk away from Anfield with a result of some sort.

Of course at the other end of the scale there is the game v Arsenal and despite criticism for the way they played against us in their attempt to match us on our own pitch they were ripped apart. Even then their keeper was their best player.

We have Lallana and Mane out but we have to be able to cope without players and win games and look like we can win.
Yesterday we had Sturridge (lost his way for ages now) Solanke (no offence to the lad but is he really better than Origi?) Oxtail Chambermaid (I hope buying him was part of an elaborate tax dodge) all on the bench and on recent form you wouldn't fancy any of them winning the game for us.

This is pretty much the team we are trotting out every week and it is starting to look stale.
We are probably 3 players short of a top 4 spot.
