What did he say?

When he does link up play (he has improved), he should be busting a gut to get in the box to receive it. But he doesn't. He slowly jogs towards the goal. So we have a winger running down the wing, with no one to cross too.

So many questions, no answers.

An other thing, when Downing and Carroll do pass. They aren't moving into space. Instead they are casual doing nothing. No pass and move. Enrique and Downing on the left, is not working. Enrique is looking for Downing to make a run (or move somewhere to pass too) , instead Downing runs towards Enrique. Man, crazy shit.

Just need to be more consistent, frustrating as fuck. You can't knock the performance. Fucking hell if we had a Torres now we'd be pissing the league. Said all along, you need a finisher of you wanna' win games.

Take note Kenny, you know better than most.

Don't agree with the bolded, that was one of our worst performances of the season. That's coming from someone who has tried to see the positives out of every game in which we've dropped points, but tonight I couldn't see any.
In the other draws/losses we've created chances, bossed the game and played with a high tempo. Tonight we didn't do any of those things, apart from the first 15 minutes we never had full control of the match, we weren't creating clear cut chances, I can't think of one at all other than Johnno's and perhaps Kuyt's. It was too slow, we weren't fizzing it round like we usually do, sure, the pitch wasn't great, but it's no excuse, we should have picked them apart every 5 minutes, but we were too predictable. Awful performance on the whole in my opinion.

Carrol is criminally missused. Few are better in the air than him, but how many quality aerial crosses do Liverpool send his way? Liverpool do not play to his strengths at all. It's like sticking Michael Owen in the middle and having him play with his back to goal really.

Problem is if you are playing to Carrolls strength most of the players in the team are going to be playing worse.

Wha?

Not Scott Sinclair, or some other 6 month wonder. :lo:

You say that, but Downings main strength is crossing, Adams main strength is dead balls and long passing, Henderson does nothing anyway, Bellamy will give something different, so they can easily work to Carrolls strengths.

Krasic or Farfan (But hopefully he's ours).

Kuled wrote:Yeah Liverpool should swoop in for Krasic

Anyone expects him to play?
