Management ?
I am a long time fan of the REDS... but year after year I have been so disappointed ( aside from the UEFA/FA/LEAGUE/CHAMPIONS LEAGUE ) we have failed to touch the premiereship for over a decade.
What can Liverpool do to change this ???
For me , a Man utd fan... i personally felt that Liverpool's squad isn't that bad.. but not that good as well..
it seems to be stuck between title-challengers and UEFA spot hopefuls.. Almost every match i watched them play.. Liverpool will create bucket loads of chances.. but be it luck or really really poor shooting , they just can't score..
If you were to be strict.. then you can certainly see that Liverpool's starting 11 can't really match up with Chelski , Man Utd or Arsenal's.. maybe even newcastle has a better 11..
Reina.. from what i have seen last season in La Liga.. he might be another David James in disguise.. Wonderful shot stopper but nv claim crosses well..
Steve Finnan often provide adequate attacking threat , but defending was always found wanting..
Warnock .. capable left back but doesn't do enough for me..
Hyypia's aging & it seems like Benitez doesn't really trust him.. dropping him for Pellegrino last season was a gd example..
Carragher is the most consistent performer for them last season.. but not scoring enuff goals is the main problem for Pool..
Xabi Alonso .. terrific technique player.. but always love those "hollywood" 60 yards passes.. still a good team player thou..
Zenden should be their starting left midfield.. hasn't really settle well.. Don't really see him getting to the byeline and putting in crosses..
On the right.. Luis Garcia starts... a Desperately Frustrating player.. Does the little flicks and loses the ball easily...
Steven Gerrard is the key for everything.. if he dun perform, liverpool are in deep s**t..
Upfront.. Cisse and Crouch will be the main 2... both dun score.. Strikers should and must score..
Overall, Liverpool's main problem is their incapability to score..
Other than Gerrard , it seems like the rest of the players can't even inspire themselves to perform.. let alone inspire others...
United We Stand
