I agree with you to some extent but we spent over £100m in the summer to try and minimise the loss of Suarez. To regress this far, not just in terms of results and performances, but the whole style and philosophy is not the same.

Problem is, spending £100m on 7 new players, you need them to gel pretty quickly and it doesn't help when you effectively lose your two forwards who got 50 goals between you and therefor not only have to replaced the goals, but find a new way of scoring with players of different qualities.
 
Just no movement. Thing with Allen is he gets the ball, looks forward and it' just stationary so he has to cut back and go square or backwards.

People moan about Allen and he doesn't offer much, but it takes 2 to make a pas and unles you have decent movement and options infront of you, not too much you can do. Instead of passing it to someone who is going to lose it, he's sensible enough to just keep hold of the ball.
 
Great cross from Gerrard, decent header from Coutinho but should have scored.

Edit: Offside anyway <doh>
 
Twice, Balotelli runs the wings and gets the ball and it creates 1 good chance and 1 cross.

not difficult, run in behind defenders and it helps you stretch teams and not just play infront of them.

Coutinho not offside either, bad decision from the lino.
 
Another hocking tackle from Newcastle player. Jannmat just wiping Balotelli out. Deserved yellow.
 
Robbie savage getting excited over a terrible tackle.

One reason he should not be commentating <doh>
 
Ameobi is hilarious to watch. Such gangly legs.

65mins, looks like Lallana is about to come on. Surprise surprise. BR is so damn predictable.
 
Great take from Mig, didn't think he was getting anywhere near that.
