...
but the scoring rate is too poor imo. nothing to be happy just yet
if anything our scoring records show that our strikers cant score and we need to rely on so many players to provide the occasional goal

just hope this week another uruguayan striker destroy mancity after what happened last nite where cavani score a brace to shutdown mancity

On a positive note, we've conceded the least amount of goals in the Premiership.

Dunno why KD & team not about to get their tactics right with 'minnows'?

Anybody have the insight?

True..apart from the 4-0 defeat at WHL , we have conceded least goals in BPL.

Meanwhile, Bellamy's thought on his return to Anfield.

“This was everything I wanted,’ said Bellamy. "I'd never sound negative against Rafa or Gerard Houllier because they did so much for the club and were outstanding for the club.

But this was the Liverpool I grew up supporting. I watched the way they played towards the end of last season, the passing and moving, the free-flowing football. It felt like it was back.”

Lot of work today so point form for me:-

1) Inability to break down tight defences. Big teams attack us. Notice the amount of space Chelsea afforded us in the first half. Also, Johnson's second goal was a result of a raking crossfield pass which he ran onto. To break tight defences, we need to move the ball instead of hoping for Suarez to dribble past 5 defenders - pass and move. This will improve as players play together more often and have a better understanding of one another. The Suarez-Bellamy-Maxi goal is a prime example. Quick ball movement making if difficult for defenders to adjust.

Actually, that's about all I have.

The commentator of the match did say on Saurez as well. He may be good, tricky, and can create something out of nothing, but stat wise, shot on goal not less than 40-50, but only 4 goals scored until now is not good enough stat.

This is always the different between top 4 of the league vs middle table team.
Opponent make mistake, you must capitalise, then going to win 1-0. Just like what happened in the win over Chelsea match.

Also tempo is not high enough and movement of the ball is not quick enough.

Don't know my observation correct or not, the team play the ball better on the ground and pass and move more, with Kyut, Bellamy, Suarez combination.
While when Carroll in the team, resort to long ball, and movement become slower.

If I'm to be honest, we to muster a lot of shots on goal but most are half chances. We don't create many clear cut opportunities.

manc lose yesterday... they rest agero and nazri
its a tough game for liverpool..

Looking forward this Sunday match. I've faith in them.
btw, Steven Gerrard should be around this weekend right?

soccernet reporting that anelka might be available. second coming for another striker?

bellamy kuyt suarez anelka (+carroll). hey suddenly we can have a really fearsome striking line up

Chelsea putting hope on Torres could be disaster?. I don't see Lukaku staying long enough like Drogba did.
Drogba (possibly) could be on his way out of Chelsea as well.

Wonder what could be Chelsea's backup plan for front line.

No Anelka please. His attitude sucks and no one likes him. Read what Robbie had to say about him in his biography. I want to see Adam Morgan progress to the first team.

Neither have the pace Enrique has and whilst Arbeloa is arguably a better defender, he doesn't offer as much going forward. Oh well, Spain's loss is our gain.

Found this on twitter @stupidfootball
Have to clarify that this was only meant as a football joke.

"Chelsea have made an official complaint to the FA accusing Luis Suarez of abusing Fernando Torres. Apparently he called him a striker."

They have many more jokes on their twitter @stupidfootball
Please forgive me if I offended anybody here..

lol. Torres will never have any success with Chelsea. Time to move on

Aahhh...i miss this time...

"ttorresss!!!" love it when commentator shout his name.

Hope we will do well against City and other games.

Well, me too. Thanks for the memory though..
