Good post, Duke.
And from that 11 matches you posted, we drew 7 of them. You left out Man City at home, by the way and that was 17 shots to us, and 7 shots to them and as before, another game we drew!
I, myself, feel we've been performing generally well throughout the course of the season. I've said before that we're probably one of the best teams in the country UNTIL we get near the opposition box. If I'm not wrong, I think Pepe Reina has 10 clean sheets from 24 games? The fact that we've only conceded 21 goals (just about almost a goal a game) suggests that the defence is not much of the problem seeing we've only conceded more than 2 goals in 3 occassions in the league (Spurs, Bolton and City away).
One game that I really cannot forget is the second leg of the League Cup semi final against City (2-2). We had a massive 15 shots at goal with 12 being on target and only managed 2 goals, one being a spotk kick. That's so WTF?! City on the other hand, scored 2 goals from 4 on target (6 overall).
I also think we top the league of "number of times hitting the woodwork" with 18 or something and that's almost a woodwork a game as well. Imagine if half of those were scored and at least a quarter of chances created were converted.
We could easily be sitting 3rd now.
I've been saying that the goals will come since I don't know when but I have to admit it doesn't look like it has got any better.
We need a goalscorer and we need one fast. I can't believe we never really got anyone in, even on loan when goal scoring is our major problem.
We need a forward who can finish what others have created and whom can also create opportunites for himself.
For all the skills and trickery Luis has, he's very wasteful, IMO, and I see him more of a creator and catalyst, rather than an out and out forward/goalscorer himself.
And f*** off, Rooney with the comments that Suarez should be banned. He's probably shitting in his pants because he knows Suarez is going to Old Toilet this weekend and wants him suspended for that game.
Ferguson's Army have done too much damage to Liverpool already this season (Spearing's red card, Suarez's finger gesture (that's justified, though) and his pointless 8 games ban).
Is right. I get the feeling that some only look at the bottom line i.e. win or lose. In the end, it does come down to the bottom line but I think it's unrealistic to see a 180 degree change and expect us to be title contenders immediately. Aside from the number of times we hit the post and the superheroes in goal, we have to consider the number of penalties we've failed to convert also.
Rooney certainly isn't the best candidate to comment is he? He got banned for 3 matches for intentionally kicking his opponent and I don't think he was in tears when he got his ban reduced. I've lost any respect I had for him after he kissed his friggin crest in front of the Everton supporters. If you read his comments in the media or even twitter, you note that he isn't exactly the sharpest tool in the shed. Like I said earlier, Martin Tyler is older than 3 LYN posters put together and has seen everything in football from when elbows and tackles from behind were allowed. Certainly makes him more credible than a foul mouthed, disloyal punk.
When your striker is Andy Caroll...8.92% conversion rate, you should start secretly smiling already bro.
You're here bright and early. Still smiling from the FA Cup win certainly. Then again it's only a small tournament you lot chose to pull out from some seasons back.
