Trouble is mate barring Stevie our midfield has been lightweight for far too long .
The trouble started 2 seasons ago, LFC history is always there for BR to refer to where during our all conquering years we had very strong and tough tackling midfielders in Souness, McMahon, Case etc. Event pint size players like Craig Johnston will give every defenders nighmare. Now what we have is a slow Lucas and lighweigh Allen, and lighweigh Markovic.
That simply tells us that we're indeed an average team now compared to all those years ago.
It's in the middle of the park that we're in real sh*t now and a total collapse, not really the front line. And I;m sad to say, BR has done badly or done nothing effectively so far to get the midfield sorted. Get that sorted out and things will fall in place. I'm not siding with FSG, they're as much to be blamed but they did not buy Allen, but BR did. 2 seasons ago many here already said he is not good enough for us with that odd Hollywood performance from time to time but BR persists to play him there.
World class team always have world class players to anchor the midfield, in our case we have very average players there.
I've been shouting for 2 seasons to get a quality DM and what we got is more lighweigh players into the team.
BR, skills is not enough you need brute force in the players as well.
We have bought badly so far, I'm not sure whether the next window would fix all the issues. It may take another 3 or 4 windows to do that knowing too well FSG will not spend big. Even then more quality players will leave because the owner did not show enough ambition and we're back to the starting point.
What saddens me most is that BR, transfer committee or owner, or a combination of all has really exposed themselves to the world to see how incompetent we are in running the club as a whole.
I'd say go back to the the good old days how the club operated in a simple way, now could be a case of us having too many cooks and no individual takes responsibility.
