Coates has taken it past more people in one run than Downing has in his entire lfc career. Says a lot
Dalglish, how can you say we are fine with what wev'e got. our attacking force needs some real work. We've got the defence, we have the midfield, but sod all cutting edge where it counts.
Come on the amount of possession we've got again Johnson and Enrique have to go forward more and put crosses in IMO
Stoke are there for the taking but if we don't really push on it will just give them more confidence as the game wears down. Need much more in the attack, I agree with that, hope Kenny is putting on a front for the press.
So frustrating cus I really think we are only two or so class players away from challenging for the league. seriously. Our defence is the best in the prem, our midfield tackles well, retains possession and make chances, but we have no goalscorers whatsoever. Look what just adding Adebayor has done to Spurs' season!
Anyone notice on the top of the box, we refuse to take someone on, have a shot? Always wanting that extra pass. Grrr. Backs look pretty comfortable but Stoke aren't really pushing on other than the odd break.
I'd like to see kenny's excuse when this game ends nil nil. Does he honestly expect us to score? This feels like the first leg of an away CL match!
or CC match! I don't like, in any team, when you completely change what you do to " mind" the other teams strength. Be aware yes, but Bellamy, Maxi could have caused trouble for these big defenders I feel. Still have time to right that but it just feels like a draw already doesn't it?
We've had no real chances whatsoever, just a few long range efforts. I just don't see who's gonna nip in the box and score for us?? No bellamy, no Maxi, No carroll even for a fluke header ffs!
Why are we not getting players in the box? Even when we get it wide we have no one to play to. Another poor corner, Kenny needs to make these boys stay after and work on some set pieces.
But I don't see how it's the players' fault. We're expecting Enrique and Downing, our defenders (!!) to make and score goals!! no one on the pitch is a ****ing striker! we have a team of midfielders and defenders! Why can't we buy a striker? At least it wouldnt be knee-jerk, unlike a certain overpriced signing made on the last day of last years transfer window....
Ya loads of defensive minded players out there but if you get the instruction to get in the box, surely more would. Each time someone has made a dangerous run in the box ( Johnson, Adam, running out of who else) we have almost had an opputunity. Johnson puts it right where a striker should be..... no one home. right on cue eh! Good thing is Reina has been barely bothered but this needs to be 3 points.
