People saying we're pathetic and average aren't doing the lads justice first of all. Some of the play is excellent and we're carving teams open just the finishing is either hitting the woodwork or keepers playing absolute blinders. The defence were top notch again, unlucky own goal, sh*t happens. The frustration amongst our lads must be near popping point, great to see Captain Fantastic back and looked pretty sharp indeed, could of easily scored from his first free-kick. People I would criticise are Henderson who had little to no impact on the entire game, getting boring now I know but he offers nothing forward or back for the team bar a decent engine to get around the pitch, as for Downing he had so much possession today and provided so little, could visibly see Gerrard for one being pissed off with his poor choices, it was more encouraging that he did take his man on more, but never really beat him ever. Johnson and Enrique were excellent again, Suarez looking a bit knackered if I'm honest, the rest will do him good and Carroll I'm sorry wasn't nearly good enough, when he switched off for the header back to him summed it up for me, definitely need a striker to put him down the pecking order and either force him to perform or force him out as he shouldn't really be in the first XI the way he's playing at the moment. Disappointed but I'm not going to disgrace the effort the lads put in by saying it was pathetic, on another day we could of scored about 5 or 6 there but yes this is the story of the season I know. 2 horrible results but there is still light there and I still have faith even though some seem to be losing theirs.
