Reality check is exactly what is needed!The pile of sh*t that was posted on the Stoke match thread after the final whistle was completely out of order!Do people not realize,tho we have drawn all these home games,that we have been the team in control,piling on pressure and hitting the woodwork?The home fans watching visiting keepers save shots that at any other time would have been in the back of the net?To begin blaming players and say they're useless etc IS the knee jerk reaction.FFS,people complaining that we started with '5 defenders'....yes,but how much time did Glen or Jose once he came on,play at their right and left back positions?I admit,would have rather have had Henderson do more attacking than Johnson but Glen probably spent more time in their half than ours.
Up until last January,yes,it was a different Liverpool Football Club.We brought in Suarez,who likes to run at people.A player like this will ALWAYS help a team-once he skins a defender or two,whenever this player gets the ball or even gets it in his direction,these defenders WANT HIM!Mind set says "He fooking made ME look stupid,I WILL dispossess him,WILL foul him,WILL break him....I don't care.Let me at him!"Of course,if more than one is in this frame of mind,then more around Luis for example,more open attackers.OK,think young Raheem Sterling.He loves this style of play.Give him a chance.Tell KK to let Stevie give him constant talks as a captain.Too much holding of the ball-Stevie curses you."Stop trying too hard!"He is a good one to develop on the pitch.Don't sell or lend him,use him.
Off the ball movement!More of it.Teams know now,at Anfield,to pack their own half and LFC cant break in.Coincidentley,exactley what we did at citeh last weeek,btw,but this after we scored.At Anfield,they pack the defense as soon as opening 'tweet' sounds.When we get in the opposition half(and at Anfield we camp there!)too often when we cant pull them apart,ultimatley the ball ends back to f***ing Pepe!Keep moving Redmen!Sorry to use another team as a comparison,but Barca just move and move and move.All off the ball.When we have Stevie,Suarez,Carroll(yes,he is still going to be massive-start elbowing those f***ing arms when they grab your shirt or hold onto you;that hurts,they'll stop!)on the pitch,with Adam now feeling good about doing those 40 yd pinpoint passes(saw at least 3 vs Stoke that reminded me of A-L-O-N-S-O:brilliant!)draws will become 3 points.Keep movin Carroll.
Lastly,Bellers(once every 10 days KK;he tried yesterday but those old knees couldn't do it!)Suarez,Sterling,Maxi Stevie...SOMEONE!...be up front with Carroll.One man up top doesn't cut it!Especially at Anfield.Even citehs,manure,chelski leave 4 at the back at our ground at all time.To get the ball in possession and feed it to 1 loan man is useless-even if you are Enrique!Notice how when he gets the ball,the corner flag is where he goes!Do not pass go;do not collect $200.My job is to sprint dribble and cross..let's go!
Sooo,any panic after Saturdays result?Disappointment,yeah.Sure wanted those 3 points.But,knew it would be tough.After all the game was at Anfield...opposition going to pack their half;they know they must!
ps.Heard a Turkish club wanted Kuyt for 8mill?I love you Dirk,you've always done your best for this wonderful club(a f***ing hattrick against the scum even!)but 8 mill?I'd break that managers arm I'd be shaking it so hard.Sorry son,footy has become a business.If you'd been here your whole career,different story.bye-bye.
