      Many valid points mate ,but we are currently,in a situation,where our transition,is reliant on 2 players who can no longer bail this club out,and there are no obvious replacements.In the Summer,we need severel top quality signings,and to offload ruthlessly.

      Agreed, I hope Kenny will be ruthless to do just that, like the Shankly and Paisley or even the Fagan regime. We're now playing with a steady defence, void in the middle and then the lone striker, big vacuum in the middle. Some said Enrique over do things and tried to dribble pass every defenders into goal. He obviously is frustrated and say "come let me show you guys how it can be done"  but make no mistake he was good in that, It's evident that how teams set out to play us is, they know we can't bite from midfield, unless we have Stevie on the pitch, hence they bully us in midfield and we were left with no choice but to knock the ball to the wings and they press us to the byline and we can't move. We just don't have one or two midfield maestro that can manouvre us out of midfiled and burly enough to start bullying the opposition midfield and defence.

      And we can't blame Sunderland for parking the bus, they are playing well within the rules of the game and it's our fault, after, how many? ... 4 or 5 games against them, we still can't break them down, it boils down to the quality of the players and our tactics. I'm sure our game against Stoke, they're just going to  carbon copy what Sunderland did. But do we have the players and tactics to break them down?

      So many things said, but I can only wish.

      Not sure how accurate this is, but I was told by someone that Adam gave away possession 23 times.

      Take RVP out of their team and they'd be below us. That's how important a player can be to a club.

      Imagine if Gerrard stopped playing tomorrow.

      First season in a long time where we've really got worse as the season has gone on.

      Usually we start slow and pick it up after Christmas.

      Gerrard, aint won a game he started this season? Holy lord! Playing way too deep for me! Not bein effective enough and KK will need to change this... try him back in the hole and see if we can re-inact the torres gerrard combo with suarez! Needs to show more heart for me! He should be dishing out bollockings throughout the 90 with the caliber we are playing to!

      Been thinking the same for a while. Need to get the skipper playing further foward. He can play the sitter when he's 35. right now we need him running at players, pulling strings and getting his shots off.

      We might not play well sometimes and people will find someone to blame etc etc.. but the season has not finished yet, no? I will say it again (just to clarify) we have 11 games left and lets see at the end of the season before we point the finger.

      I appreciate that and all and I know 11 games can make a difference but I think we'll even struggle to win half of those games considering our recent performances and lack of goalscoring prowess in front of goal.

      Back in 2008/2009, we went 10 wins and a draw in the last 11 games and not forgetting we collected like 20+ points coming back from a losing position. That was the mentality the current squad needs.

      First season in a long time where we've really got worse as the season has gone on.

      Usually we start slow and pick it up after Christmas.

      Yeah.

      I still think we are cursed. Almost every season, regardless who the manager or players are, the end result is similar :laugh:

      Yesterday was the first time ever that I would have been happy for the whistle to be blown on 70 minutes and we walk away with the 1 goal defeat. It was physically uncomfortable watching us yesterday and just the thought of 20 more minutes of watching us struggling to play football like a beetle on its back trying to right itself was enough to want the game to end there and then. I've NEVER felt like that with Liverpool before.

      worst liverpool performance I've seen in a long time, midfield were non-existant and seriously lacked creativity. It was painful to watch at times. We really are on a terrible run of form at the moment, lets hope we see a major improvement on tuesday

      I haven't even seen any highlights from the game and it sounds like i'd be better off steering well clear. At least we got another game real son to hopefully get the bitter taste out of the mouth. It's actually a pretty good time to be playing a derby if you ask me. Our league form needs a massive shot in the arm and a win at the bitters would be the perfect tonic.

      Our attacking force seems so impotent. 2 wingers, a striker and an atacking midfielder needed. We've scored the 5th lowest amount of goals in the whole league. Its not acceptable.

      I couldn't come back on here after that display yesterday, toothless inept and hard to find a positive at all. Maybe one, we controlled the possession well in the first half, but we never looked threatening the whole game.  Adam looked the most motivated player on the pitch for us and he was sloppy in possession and lucky on few occasions not to be booked.

      It was nice to watch the Reds as an away fan for the first time, but, after having spent almost the entire day in a f***in coach to watch the game, the word 'disappointment' doesn't even start to describe my feelings about the match. I really think Kenny needs to think a bit better about his signings and if they do deserve the faith he's putting on them.

      Its really hard to put into words how i feel about the whole playing staff at the moment. Kenny has to change things. Seems like we are just riding out the rest of the season.

      Just a mere passenger! That's what I could say about our midfielders. Apart from Spearing who for me was running his socks off, others were simply terrible to watch. Even when we're attacking our midfield line were sitting too far back. Adam loses way too many balls and his passes were simply awful to watch. It's understandable if Spearing was not pushing further up but Adam? Hard to believe we lost a game without a fight.

      Watching Suarez trying to take on all the defenders was painful to watch. I feel for that guy. It's like he's alone while others were too busy sitting far back. There were not enough body to pressure the defensive line. Clearly as a team we're not playing well. I can tell there's a handful who for me really played. Skrtel, Spearing, Suarez were the only players who did turned up. Kelly, Bellamy, Kuyt, Coates, Enrique, Pepe were ok if not good. Adam and Henderson, non-existent.

      We got 11 games more to go. Just keep your heads up and push it to the limit. It ain't over till you say it's over.
