I thought the results against Tottenham was dissapointing but the performance wasn't too bad. We had quite regularly lost against Spurs in the last few years, it would have been good if BR could stop the rot but if he can't, well I wouldn't blame him. Spurs is one of our bogey team.

Watching the match yesterday, I don't think we found out anything new... We need more attacking players, we already said that all season long. We've been saying we need Lucas back and Hendo/Allen/Gerrard's performance yesterday prove us right. We've been saying Stewart Downing is poor, well he was poor again yesterday. There are a couple of problems to be fixed before we can go on a winning run. I'm sure BR knows it but he can't fix our problems without raw materials. We need new and better players, period.

Looking at Bale and Lennon yesterday, I think they are exactly the kind of wide players we need. Just imagine a front three of Bale, Suarez and Lennon, I think that would be very effective. Anyway, since we can't afford them, we should look for players like that, pacy wingers with an eye for goals. Sterling is good, but he is too young and inexperienced. At times his naivety shows. Enrique as a winger has been impressive but don't think he is our long term solution. I remember he had a chance with a free header against Spurs, but he chose to head back to a teammate rather than go for goal. I put that down to him not being a regular goal scorer, so he doesn't have the confidence to go for goal. Personally, I think Walcott fits the bill. Sadly, I don't think we have much chance of signing him, hope I'm wrong though.

Lastly, I'll say that we should all get behind BR. He's doing his best with whatever players he have. I know some said that we should have kept Carroll, but the fact is he only scored one goal so far for West Ham recently, despite West Ham playing a style of football that is tailor-made for him. No doubt he may contribute to our attacking prowess, but he certainly isn't the solution to our goal scoring problems. Had he stayed, I'm convinved he won't get many goals if any at all. We need a new striker imo. In my books, BR isn't doing too much wrong. So far at least, I still say he is the right man for us.

I've always been a supporter of Rodgers, but my god, that decision to sub off Enrique for Joe Cole is probably the most stupid decision BR made this season, if Enrique wasn't injured....

I think BR got really lucky this time...
What if joe cole shot hit the post (as we always do) and gone out... What if the flick gone over the bar... Hmm...

Btw, was Enrique really injured in the match?

I'll give BR the benefit of the doubt haha... biggrin.gif

Fun fact:

August 2009: That was the last time Liverpool came from behind to win a Premier League match, as they beat Bolton Wanderers 3-2.

It is incredible that we had gone that long without a come back win. Just shows the mental weakness of our squad in recent years.
