I'm absolutely gutted about our draw today. We had to continually win to put pressure on the scum but we fell way short.
I think some posts have been far too lenient about our performance. Overall we were insipid and lacked cutting edge in the final third of the pitch.
Many of the players lacked desire and we played a lot of reactive soccer. We bossed the first half completely and with that sort of possession you simply must score if you are a true title contender.
Dossena should never be allowed to put on a Reds top again as he is clearly out of his depth and looks completely lost out there. We have to sell him as he is not LFC material. Lucas is a bloody light weight who gave the ball away needlessly many times. I've lost all my patience with him. He is not good enough and we won't win much with him starting regularly.
We looked so lost for ideas without our two midfield maestros as many of our wide attacking forays were down dead-ends.
There wasn't enough support given to the forwards as there was huge space between the midfielders and forwards.
Our first touch many times was woeful which put us under a lot of pressure, and the body language of many of the players was that of fear, of making mistakes or of taking chances.
Many times when a killer final pass could be given, we often passed the ball back, very defensively. Our general mindset seems to be of caution and of a defensive nature. It is so frustrating to watch.
We simply don't have the strength in depth in our squad and
must strengthen in the Summer.
I'll never give up, but that result has surely knocked the stuffing out of many supporters.
