Sorry chris lam,i don't think BR is to be blamed fully for the team's performances.
All the players he has bought has performed so far barring aspas and alberto(never played much though).The problem is our midfielders who were already here before BR.
I think kelly should have came on in the second half which is where BR could have done better.Perhaps he also should have started with sterling or alberto.He did recognise this which is why he brought on sterling at half time and alberto later;something which rafa,roy or kenny never did.With all the injuries and suspension for our team BR could not have done much better.The most we could have gotten from southampton game was a goalless draw.
Lets see the list: Johnson,agger(not fully fit),kelly(out since last year),coutinho,cissokho,enrique,suarez.
Thats half the first team out with injuries or suspension.
To play a flat back 4 of 4 CB...even layman knew that wont work, & you said its not manager's fault. Tactically, BR clearly screw up, the team was set out bottom heavy, which make me thinks that we're facing RM/Barca instead of Saints. No wonder there's no clear chances of note.
BR clearly lacks plan B, thats not to slate him but a fact. He could have set out a 5-3-2 with 3CB & 2 WB(Henderson could plays at RWB) which surely wont be worst than the formation he set against Saints. You could say the team may not familiar with it, but then again its the manager job to set out different formations in training as part of his arsenal. Clearly he's too obsessed with his possession based game that made him too stubborn to try a plan B

The number of dribbles are not something to shout about. Luis Garcia also once has some of the most beautiful dribbles when he was with us.
In Suso's position, assists are all that matters and goals too perhaps.
When he's back, he's competing against Couts. Big task.
Actually talent wise Suso & Couts really are comparable, abt same size as well, maybe Suso just not so consistent. Both abt same age also, but Couts got his big break earlier though frozen out eventually....so its not really a big ask. Prob is Suso nvr been given a long run, last season he played early on but eventually frozen without a trace

well, to be on loan is a good thing for him to mature, though chances are suso will move on. never once as far as i can remember any player loaned returns to play as regular in Lfc.
no? anyone?
I know there are exceptions to the rule though i don't see it happening.
suso has talent but is kinda small size for premiership, it all depends on the players around him to see if it works. I doubt we will build a team around/support his talent. which is why i'll say suso is almost good as gone
I think so too, most likely he'll moved on which is good considering Reds are partly responsible in screwing up talented kids read: Pacheco, Le Tallec et all
& too think that back then ppl here slated me for saying Suso too small hence not ready by comparing him to Modric who they claimed is small & frail as well
