Mingolet is half the keeper that Reina is. I'd kill for his distribution right now. Sure, Ming stops shot....that's his job!!! It's probably too late but BR needs to get on his knees and beg for Reina to come back at the end of the season.
Toure is ****e. I never want to see him in a red shirt again. BR needs to accept that when he's forced to put a player like him on the pitch, give him simple instructions to hoof it! Was Ilori really a worse option than him?
what a waste of money then!
Cissokho needs to learn how to pass a ball. Surely we could of bought someone form some third division reserve team to replace him while we waited on injuries returning? Drop him now. Let him play ping pong with Toure on match days.
Gerrard is not a DM, he can't do the job without dragging half the midfield into a much deeper position to support him leaving nothing to link up play with the forward line. If you're going to play with two deep lying midfielders, playing two forwards is a luxury. Sure they track back occasionally but we'd be better with one up front and 3 true midfielders feeding Suarez. Haven't checked but I'd guess our away from was better when we had to play one up front. Would be an interesting stat.
It's all very well playing skillful midgets in midfield but a good big un will always beat a good little un....at least that what they used to tell me at boxing training. In short, how lightweight are we? Yaya Toure probably weighs as much as 3 of our players. Need to get some steel in the middle of the park urgently.
Sterling has looked so much better but his lack of composure in the final third is infuriating. If you don't have that, what's the point? Guy should be making sure he stays on at training working on this. Could be great, really could.
Suarez and Sterling. If we're protecting a lead or trying to balance a team against very good opposition, is there really space for both of them? Sure when we want to take the sword to the opposition or if we need a goal......Is BR scared to drop Sturridge? I'd never drop Suarez. Maybe he's thinking about what impact that's have on him next year?
Let's be honest. Fourth is ours because Utd, Spurs and to a lesser degree Everton are under-performing. BR needs to think long and hard about how to address some of the obvious problems before it's too late. Fourth is ours to lose. Yesterday, we tried our best to lose it much quicker than any of us would like.
