KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Reasons to be positive

With all the negativity surrounding the club and negativity in every post on every forum I thought i'd start a positive one.

Here are a few reasons I think all supporters should have some optimism.

1. Raul Meireles - Looks like he could be a good buy given some time and games
2. Torres is still with us and is still puting a shift in
3. Ngog has looked a lot better this season
4. Martin Broughton is still with us which means he still must be working on getting new owners (thats his remit) and theres no quick cure for Hicks disease.

Now im not saying we are gonna turn it round and go unbeaten but come on guys lets have less negativity.

Anyone else with some positives or optimism please post.

lucas isnt playing

at least when the new owners come in - we won't all get up in arms caused they've sacked a good coach/manager!

at least we're not mancs living in denial about the ginger leprechaun!

at least we can all save £26/mnth by cancelling skysports for the rest of the season!

ITS ALL GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We're playing as poorly as we can, so it can only improve.

Despite how badly we're playing we did not lost to WBA, Birmingham, Sunderland, or Arsenal, and away games vs City and Utd are only 1 point dropped not 3. Based on last season's form and all our disruption, do we really deserve 2 points more than we have?

I think Raul is looking better each game, albeit different starting positions. He looks really fit and actually quite quick. Ngog is looking much better than last season and I think he will need to be used more to further his progress.

I like Ngog's progress. If only roy puts him beside torres on these games to learn and be more lethal together.

I'm thinking N'Gog off the last shoulder as a striker, and Torres as a provider (ala Rooney). Torres has significantly better ball control, movement, and creativity, which would surely be of more benefit as a play maker. If we reversed the roles I think Torres would just get more frustrated because N'Gog would simply lose the ball under pressure too often. I like N'Gog (always have), but I'm concerned a strike partnership with Torres might not be best for the team as both are used to leading the line alone.

I expected Hodgson to have more of an impact - the style of play we're churning out at the moment is cat. It's ok to be defensive, it's lovely to be artacking but we're just bad - poorly organised, disorientated, lacking cohesion. We have a good enough squad to fight for 4th, not necessarily get it, but fight nonetheless and we should expect a lot more.

I don't think we should sacrifice Torres' best position to accomodate N'gog

I have said on here for some time that Ngog will come right, he has the nick of being in the right place at the right time. His ball control at times lets him down and he does need to toughen up when playing up front on his own but you can see he is improving each game he plays. We need to play Miereles with Gerrard in central midfield and from there we can create and bring the others in, it`s not all doom and gloom and providing Roy picks the same team for a few games then we can get something going.
