Not enough good squad depth. We need a £15-20m striker to be able to break into the top four.
Agreed. A Pelle upgrade should be top priority this summer, along with replacing players we lose.

Not sure if that'll happen though. The downside of all these loan players in the squad is that we have to spend money to stand still.
 
Better to have 4 shots and score 2, than spend most the game hanging around the opposition area without a clue.

Of course. But there was an element of luck to that win. Had the ref given the pen, Pelle had taken it and had his confidence boosted, could well have been a different result. On such fine margins....

All I'm saying is that we haven't suddenly become a poor team. We've not had the rub of the green recently and, no, we haven't had the teeth, but that can turn quickly too. Peckers up please!

It will happen (the replacement players that is). We already have players in mind, I just hope we spend a lil extra on a forward.

Oh I'm confident we'll replace players that leave. I was thinking more that the striker may not happen.
 
I thought Djuricic played well for his first start.

Filip Djuricic admits diving twice:

"The first one I feel the contact, it was light contact but I fell down. The second one was more a penalty than the first one for sure. I feel his hand on my shoulder and I fell down."

We haven't turned into a poor team we are just playing unbelievably poorly. We didn't test mignolet for the 85 mins after the crazy start. Something needs to change!

You're aware that English isn't his first language? I take it you didn't watch the game either.

Not use to the lying you have to do in the Prem poor guy. Second was a pen tho.
 
Pelle has had some mediocre games recently, but I don't see how he could have changed anything in this one. It's not like he missed a sitter. The service was poor. Elia and Mane both kept bringing the ball inside to Pelle's position so the spacing wasn't good. Remember when we were scoring earlier in the year, we were getting goals from midfielders as well. That has also dried up.

We miss Bertrand, as he was a good crosser and would make a run down the outside when the wingers turned inside. Bertrand and Tadic together on the left might be able to kickstart the offense.

Rogers says Friend got all decisions right... Yeah because he gave them all to Liverpool
 
Of course Rodgers would say that. But I bet you could look on RAWK or whatever Liverpool forum and even all their posters would agree that they got away with one there. It was about as blatant as it gets.

And we'll need to replace a couple major players at the same time. Another busy summer to come for Ron and Les.
