yep. i said earlier let all big 4 play at Stoke and see where we are. Man Utd draw against them.


its not total solution for winning trophy. And i think Caroll play better than his previous game. Hope that he can improve on the next game.

Very narrow escape from the wolves!
3pts!!

I don't know why so many people single out Carroll.
It is because of 35 million price tag?
I reckon so, as if price tag is less than 10 million, then probably the criticism may be less.

For yesterday match,
Yes, Carroll may not give a good performance, but it is not that as bad either. He has an average game. At least, it is miles better than previous few matches.

Yes, it is disappointing that he can't score for the last kick of the game, when in front of 12 yards, that, he tried to shift the ball to his favorite right foot, but somehow ball stuck under his feet, as well as one struck the post.

But no one criticise Adam for lack of controlling the midfield, lack of support on defensive side when the team is under pressure for most of 2nd half.

For Suarez substitution, KD may just want to rest him, for the sake future down the road,
and seeing the team under pressure for most 2nd half, he may just want to protect the 2-1 lead, instead go all way out.

Also Carroll may be useful for defending against set-piece, corner kick time.
Obviously from the Suarez substitution, KD just want to protect the 2-1 lead at that time, instead going all way out for 3-1.
Although personally I am surprise as well when Suarez being sub, and not Adam, but the move is understandable.

Defensive wise need a lot of hardwork, 1 clean sheet out of 7 games (including league cup), is a worrysome stat.
You need to able to win a lot of 1-0 in league especially in some tough match, and grind out result.

Probably because he was in ninja mode throughout the game and no one can see him......

Reina

Kelly Carra Coates Enrique
Kuyt/Maxi Gerrard Lucas Downing
Suarez Bellamy/Carroll

And Didn't you all notice we tend to lose lots of possesion when facing 4-4-2 position (opponent)?

if sub Carroll for Stevie, sure will break Caroll's confidence, While Suarez already had a goal...so confidence not so fragile.

Anyway Carroll will not be a David Villa....but his pricetag certainly is...so that pressure comes on automatically.

As for Henderson....i would like him to come in last 10 or 20min of the games rather then start....afterall he has got plenty of time behind him, While Kuyt or Maxi should start more...so we have a more mature lineup and start attacking more...for goals before we behave like yesterday 2nd half!!

This bad habit of sitting back after a lead is very bad...same with the sunderland game...lucky yesterday we didnt get punished.

anyway 3 points is 3 point.....next merseyside derby!!

enrique- he's good , and errr coz theres no any other english LB for us to choose??

suarez - obvious (BTW he's not KD's signings)

kuyt - he's 200% loyal to the club , the ironman. he scored 16goals in the last 26games he played,but now he have to sit on the bench

maxi - his experience and low wages we dont mind to keep him on the bench

reina - obvious

I'm not a fan of Adam. Really hope Gerard come back to take over this task.

I'm not convinced with the game yesterday. We were OK in attacking but defending seems all over the place. Its not that I'm not happy that we got the 3 points, but I'm rather unhappy with the way we won it.

sooo....who signed Suarez???

o yeah...Lucas?

and coates?

20min highlight..

Thanks !

I went to Jose Enrique wiki page just now. Nobody seems to care about the main picture. LOL.

Well, looking forward to the Merseyside Derby. I hope KD chooses his players according to merit this time. Kuyt should start ahead of Henderson on the right.

I think KD has made his intention clear in the coming into the summer that he wants an all english line up...so

I'm okay with the all english lineup but the question is, are they performing up to standard?

All English eh? Phew, I'm glad Konchesky is not around anymore.

I think its too early to tell

Just to share my opinion about our no.9,

Due to low performance from him, I suggest that he is to be released on loan or playing with reserve team. Perhaps this can improve him.

Please stop bashing carroll guys.He is already showing big improvement.Maybe it's because he changed his boots

The anonymous person who didnt do much yesterday was henderson.I really dunno what is his best position and he looks more comfortable in the center.

I hope he cut his hair short. LOL.

loan him to play for Harimau, atleast we get to see him more here and he can also sign autograph onbehalf of LFC
