Skrtel might not hav the ablity to tackle any onoming wingers effectively (tat can be cover Coates or the Slow Carra ) but he can carry the ball right up to the box and try his shooting skill as can be witness on the game against Norwich which he almost score.....and mind u he can head quite well too

I m alwaiz proud that Reds of Liverpool fans are recognized as the more "knowledgeable" about the game than others, but some things mentioned here are blardy ridiculous...Barca drew ni-nil against Sevilla despite dominating the match and creating many chances...i dont see their fans slating their players like we did! When we play attacking football, we fans like to criticize, when we play defensive football we again criticize..sounds hypocrite to me....we are defensively a bit loose, yes, but this is understandable becos we are attacking for christ sake...the DM are pushing up further from the centre circle to support the attack and also to move in if the opponent gets the ball, to pressurize them..this in turn reduce the protection from DM to the C. Defender...yes we do have weakness, but i think KK already hinted that he expect the American owner to back him, if there are good targets available during January window. We need to add more players, not sell the current crops...we are playing more attacking and attractive game becos of these new players...not SELL them!! And for idiots who want to sell henderson - think again, he is the top 3 players in BPL with top pass completion rate, accuracy rate, and also for clean tackle rate, all the ingredients needed to be groom as SG successor..ohh btw did i miss that he is only 20...so wake up!....henderson is no tevez nor balotelli...he doesnt cost as much, and for all the BIG money spending -  they need 2 - 3 seasons to finally show their potential, and JH just joined the Reds,,,like 2 months ago...okok granted, i may be wrong, henderson might or might not make it...but lets not make it an issue...make ur judgement after this season...it gets kinda tired reading clowns who write as tho its their money being spend on these players

I don't agree with your assumption. Carra has been great all these years (everyone will agree with me on this) . Like what DukeRed said, he's aging. He's ability to content bigger forwards fading day by day. If you watch him this season, he has less counts on his account for his guarding tackles. Skrtel , yes ..he could cost us points if he don't watch his body movements towards defending. But on Saturday he almost opened goal count for us in nit? Correct me if i'm wrong..

Johnson , however has the ability of moving forward with dangerous runs into the box and could win penalties for us (like he did in the 1st season). Agger , anyone recalls his goals against Westham & Blackburn some seasons ago? It was his faultless performance and a move from defense against Blackburn with a special 30 yard rocket into the top corner. Again years before against Westham at Kop end.

Its about time to put Carroll upfront and design the service around him rather than criticising him not making use of the service he is given. Andy clearly is left footed and when he scored from the Enrique cross from the left he took it with his left foot rather than the inside of his right foot. On Saturday he took a header from Gerrard's cross from the right. So he is very much a left oriented player and needs the service coming from the right

In terms of basics we should be taking the ball to the byline and cutting it back so he facing the goal when he strikes the ball. Crosses driven from the wide positions along the touch lines have to travel further and allow the defence to organise themselves and step forward and cut out the cross. As we saw on weekend's Manchester derby the cross driven fron the edges of the 18 yard box are less of a lottery and stand a good chance of a goal.

Generally the modern approach is whip in crosses from around the edeges of the penalty area

We need to replace Adam with Henderson so that Andy receives steady passes to feet and allows him to become more engaged in the middle third coming back to receive the ball. The Adam sporadic fast driven balls down the channels for the strikers to chase will not help Andy to become a prolific scorer. He need the steady presence of Henderson behind feeding him a steady supply of regular paced balls. This would regularise our play and allow us to make attempts on goal when it is sensible and appropriate rather than the default position to go for goal when the odds are long. Lets get back to old style patient pass and move where we create clear cut chances.

A midfield that provides our strikers with a tad more time and space and better angles will help them to put away their chances

It would be a shame to 'let Carroll go" because other players cannot deliver the service he needs. It is bizzare that Carroll is dropped from side when those who are supposed to be providing him with a gold service seem to keep their places week after week?

well, i personally think carroll is under pressure now...there is no running away..with such huge price tag and for one so young @ 23 correct me if i m wrong, the burden is tremendous, he is afterall the most expensive Brit player atm....i think the least we fans can do is support him..still remember what a monster of a player he was @ newcastle, if he brings that to liverpool, spell disaster for other team...he is a defender's nightmare! At least i think he is better than our other bigger strikers i.e heskey - for his size, heskey is pretty lame, not enuf body strenght to held off defenders...and never seem to be able to win headers against other defenders....P. Crouch, do i have to say more....well price tag is an issue with carroll, but why justify 30mil price tag in the first place..obviously because of the potential he shows, i think he is good, even scored on his debut with england...like it or not, money already changed hand, he wears the RED shirt..if KK decide to sell, so be it...in the meantime, i just have to wait until carroll becomes a real "goal-threat" or even better....gigantic goal scoring machine!

for once, just beat Stoke  tomolo morning and we shall move ahead

wat we need now is Confidence and although we din win the last game, Confidence were slowly creeping back into our game, just tat we were poor on Finishing. I can see there were less backpass and more forward passes and again our passes are not accurate too   one thing i admire abt MU is tat they hav very good passes, i just hope our players could pratice more passing and more body language understanding

why is Maxi not playing these days

one things that i noticed, when we attack, we need to wait for other player, i dont know how to describe it, but look when enrique and (who on the left?) they have to play among them, or pass side ways, waiting for other player to run forward. So the other side has time to organize their defence.
