yes we need Maxi and Kuyt to be finishing more of the chances they get, they are the ones in our team that need to put those away. I am happy with the result though. Henderson and Adam I thought were both brilliant. Downing looked very good some of the play where Johnson, Downing, Suarez, Henderson etc. were combining was a joy to watch and the goal was very nice.
I was never too worried we'd suffer another draw because of how much we were attacking and always winning the ball back. Got to admit little Luis did irk me a little I mean he should be getting a few more free kicks but there are just a couple of incidences where he should play the ball first and then worry about the man rather than think a Liverpool forward is going to get a bunch of free kicks..! that is about the only thing I could bring up as a negative from this game as the team was shining and attacking without remorse and doing a better job of it you have to say. with the power of Adam we can get the ball into dangerous positions early and have the likes of Enrique and Henderson and Kuyt support some dangerous quick passing between Maxi, Suarez, Bellamy, Downing, Johnson to name a few. Lucas was becoming the heart of this dangerous quick movement when we pressed up close to goal. We still have the capacity to play well and finish where we need to but we need a clinical finisher of course, but more importantly we need our strikers to find their confidence! we will need to be putting excellent balls into Carroll and whether its foot or head he can finish it off but when Maxi, Kuyt and our other key men are in that area they must not hit any spectators with wild shots!!!
I dare say we have a nice month in which we can see the team defend as a unit and have our central midfielders perform diligently for the club as we miss Spearing and also Lucas. we will have the young number 20 back in time for some tough games and it would be just tops if our striking force is in full confidence from a win at Wigan and a visit from Blackburn, not to mention our next game at Villa who seem like us to be unsure of themselves and not great at finishing what they create. we will be in good shape come January I feel, where a bunch of Man. City games and the transfer window beckons... it could be a huge couple of months for Liverpool FC!
