I'm bored of winging about Liverpool. I've been doing it for about 5 years now and many things change - except the results.
So, with no strikers you can score 3 against a good Arsenal side and 4 against a good City side yet, the same lack of strikers is the reason you cant score against a **** United side? I think you need to rethink this a little
The point is they don't score regularly. You've picked 2 games where we scored 3+ goals over a 33 game season in which we've only scored 3+ goals in 5 games. In comparison we've failed to score in 8 games. Firmino averages 1 goal in 4 games in his career. Lallana is 1 in 6. Henderson 1 in 10. Milner 1 in 10. These were our attacking players against you, there are games where they will score but they don't make a habit of it.
Not really...all of the "forwards" on yesterday have the ability to score but none of those are consistent like a sturridge or rooney on form. They all need a lot of chances to convert them. You lot weren't attacking that much but because your defence isn't great or atl least this year appears uncomfortable we got chances. Unfortunately all our starting front five appear to be confidence players. If they'd converted an early chance against you I'd have seen a city or arsenal score. But they didn't. As Mito predicted. Also ....De Gea. It really is simple. Over 3 years we lost 4 of the 5 players who scored 100 goals...through injury and transfers. No one can argue the replacements match them in quality or have even had a full season together. So Inconsistency is expected.
We've only scored 25 goals in 22 games, thats 1.13 goals per game. Hardly a ringing endorsement of our strike force
We don't score many goals, we can't defend set-pieces, but in the middle we play some lovely., eye-catching, ineffectual ballet. A swarm of stingless bees. Or buzzing flies around a turd, whichever comparison grabs you.
To state the obvious we must pull out all the strings and buy a genuine quality striker. I'm interested to see how Ings gets on when he gets back too. I reckon he'll be a damn site better than the current Carlton Cole impersonator. In fact we need shed loads of players but one step at a time.
Klopp has said a striker isn't a priority. I think he needs some new specs Das Beaut is living up to his reputation as being barking
What he means is the entire team is so sh1t that there IS no priority...we need a whole new 11 lol....
Hes just pulling your leg before lukaku comes and joins Benteke in making the greatest Belgian partnership ever
Yes. Used to be just a recognised day but now is a full bank holiday. I actually worked for a bank when that happened in SC. New Year's eve lost its spot as a holiday to MLK day.
