The second one should have been a straight red though.

How dare you question the great players of Liverpool Football Club that the great Kenneth Dalglish has brought in.

If they keep playing like they did against Tottenham, and dont turn up for games like they did yesterday i think there would be more than me questioning Liverpool. Yesterday was just not good enough, and if they keep playing like that i would expect all the players and management to question themselves.

Yeah but that's just trying to make Carroll better, still without Carroll in the team you'd be better.

I think the way we are setting up simply doesn't suit Carroll's game he needs us to play higher up the pitch hem teams in and get bodies around him. To do that we need to play a higher defensive line. We can either defend deep and protect Carra's diminishing pace or we can play high and play to Andy's strengths.

It's the classic tale of the short blanket.

I just don't see how Kenny can accommodate a slow centre forward and a slow centre back in the same line up against decent opposition away from home. When we defend deep Carroll is isolated and easy to defend against and when we push up when trying to chase games Carra is an accident waiting to happen as Stoke showed.

How long is it since we overturned a deficit and won a game. The problem is when you are chasing a game you have to gamble and leave your centre backs one on one at the back and push players forward. It is reminiscent of Houllier's last few years when with a slow pairing of Henchoz and Hypiia we went years without overturning a deficit.

We changed that ironically by switching an at the time quicker Carra from full back to centre back and by pushing right up and playing a much higher defensive line. If we stretch the blanket to try and accommodate both Carra and Carroll we end up like today stretched and passed around and passed through at will.

It's decision time we either ditch Carroll play to Carra strengths and become a Houllier style counter attacking or we do the reverse ditch Carra and use Carroll as a focal point and get players around him.

I agree with this guy.

You're probably right, but when we spend 35m on a Striker I can't see us not trying to accommodate him now. Although it does seem that way. We play a system that doesn't suit him.
