Liverpool FC's dilemma

Bugger, I thought this thread had hopefully ended.

The sad thing is I can't argue with much of the above 4-5 posts. We'll get better when Suarez is back though, still need a right winger and another forward though.The only thing we can hope for is the Anfield factor may kick in and help, the atmosphere has been crap this season, but against the two manc sides it should improve vastly, as long as the players help also.

Did he ever have it. Total fruit loop why Kenny had him back god only knows. In fact most of his signings have been pants. Andy Carroll at £35 Mill do me a favour!! Downing=Rubbish, Henderson=Way Overpriced, Adam=Jury out on him,Enrique=Average, Suarez=Super Footballer but a known nutter see his rap sheet in Holland banned for Biting amongst others:eek: Stiil think they will win Utd in the cup next weekend though.

Agree 100% with Carroll and Downing, maybe £25M on the pair of them but not £55M.
Enrique was a good buy for the money. Other clubs have spent more on LB's and got a lot worse so a good signing for me at £6M. Is filling in a problem area that Dalgleish had but not a long term signing for me.
Henderson, £16M. Well for a young English midfielder with over 10 years of football left in him is not a lot of money. Man City parted with best part of £50M on Nasri and Silva. Fabregas £35M, Alonso £35M...but that is the money you pay for a midfielder that is proven at both league and international level. Henderson does show some good touches at times and wil only get better training and learning of Gerrard. So not bothered about the money spent on him.

I am a Liverpool fan and we are missing one player, Lucas. He has been fantastic this season for us until he got injured. He has accepted his best position is a holding midfielder and now is looking top class. In Brazil they rave about his ability. We are no doubt in need of a top class striker to play with Suarez though and a right winger. There is talk about Krasik at Juventus......
 
Unfortunately we are still very much a work in progress. A couple of decent signings and we will be in a much better position.

We can play great against the top teams and I am always confident of at least a draw against the top 5 but why do we always seem to drop a lot of points against the lower teams?
 
Agree that Man City spent that amount on Silva and Nasri. But Henderson at £16m or Silva at £24m I think it was is a no brainer for me. Silva is World Class and is probably be worth £35Mil + now anyway Henderson is not in his class and never will be. Nasri is the dodgy one for me can be great when the mood takes but can be anonymous as well so jury is out on him. Thing is now Suarez will be a marked man when he comes back opposition players will target him for all sorts of gamesmanship and him being the hot head he is I cant see him staying out of trouble for long.

I think that was the point I was making about Henderson. £16M does not buy you a top class proven creative midfielder in todays market. These players that are rated £30M and above are several years older than Henderson and a lot more experienced both league, Europe and International level. So I will back Henderson at the minute against any doubters as he is only 21 so has a lot of potentially good years ahead of him.

But hey I will agree with any hits against Carroll and Downing. Anyone who watched last night got to see some horrific first touches from Carroll. £35M is what Aguero cost so I would expect to see someone of a higher standard than we have seen from Carroll so far. I do not even remember hearing Downing mentioned after he came off the bench. They looked at Downing as his stats last season showed he had a very high pass completion rate. But I now realise that it is not hard to complete a pass if you keep going backwards with it........:mmm:
 
Ah the return of Liverpool bashing eh, knock both manc teams out of the cups and a solid 3-0away win and nothing gets mentioned.

Yet outplay spurs and the criticism begins.

I thought Liverpool did enough to win. Apart from Bale's miss in the 2nd half they hardly looked like scoring and to be honest Carroll and especially Suarez with the header had gilt edged chances. Thought Adams was a bit anoninmous again but Gerrard looked fitter than I've seen him in a while. Something isn't clicking with the team and I don't know if its the personnel or Dalglish's tactics. Definitely something to build on. Henderson looked a good talent
