I've got no issues with the system but we are not playing players in the right positions IMO. I think Lucas will make a massive difference once he is six to eight games into his come back, there are very few enforcers in the Premier League better than him if any IMO. With Agger, Lucas and Suarez, we have the makings of a very strong spine, possible Reina as well. Maybe Skrtel could be added to that too but I'm not a fan I don't think anyone else can be included, I do rate both Johnson and Enrique but they do not play in prominent positions
I hope so, we could do with some more players! Or do you mean 'beat'...? Edit: three leagues wins - Norwich, Wigan and Reading, all below us
Watching MOTD. Awful decision for the free kick that Bale scored from. Dempsey just fell over with no one getting any sort of touch... chances that the dive doesn't get mentioned? Then up the other end Gerrard bursts through, gets clipped from behind and nothing given The Bale dive doesn't get shown, yet had that been Suarez probably would have had a 10 minute analysis of it with comments about him being banned again.
Bad luck Liverpool we were hanging on in the end. You came and played football which was a great improvement on last season IMO. Cheers
You can't criticise Dempsey for diving and then say Gerrard diving should be a pen. No analysis of Bale's needed, when they do it's because Suarez dives shrieks and strops about it and Rodgers comes on air defending him.
Not disputing Lucas - he is a fantastic DM. But I feel that he may be over-exposed because of the great space in central midfield. This team has some great players but to only pick up 3 wins is quite scary really. However, the fact that we came to White Hart Lane and pretty much dominate most of the game is encouraging. If we're playing this sort of football with this thin squad, then I am excited to see who Rodgers brings in and how he shapes the squad.
Rodgers best bit of business is if he can get downing ,Henderson etc off our hands and actually get a few bob for them because,lets face it, anyone would be better than them. When I watch other teams and see players who I have never heard of do things that our £20 million signings can only dream of it makes you wonder how could they get it so wrong. (KK and Camolli I mean). When BR came here he said there would be some bad times ahead before it got better he was absolutely right,well about the first bit anyway and hopefully about the other bit too.
The 2 "penalties" Rodgers was bitching about were clearly NOT penalties on the replays. Will he be punished for disrespecting the referees?
Well, I've just seen the highlights, and from what I can see spuds had 3 shots and we pissed all over them. They scored their second from a deflected free kick, from a dive from Dempsey. Reina hasn't made a save. The first goal came from a winger playing at full back. If they think they can finish fourth we should be looking at at least third. They're ****.
