I could only summarize yesterday's performance in one word - static.
Lack of movement from every player on the pitch. It was frustrating to see Moses and Sterling running into Hull players time after time while Henderson was with his usual energetic but ultimately lack of attacking motive. Moreover, teams have shown that if you could stay discipline without the ball and press us tightly, we won't be able to get out of our final third. I'm afraid this may be a blueprint for all the lesser teams who face us in upcoming matches. Would the inclusion of Joe Allen made a difference? Frankly, I don't know. But we were crying out loud for a player who could work under pressure and bring the ball out of tight situations. Also, someone like Agger would have been useful, who could be an outlet itself.
Totally agree on that, it seems that we doesn't have any players that able to hold the ball despite the pressuring done by the opponent. I can only see lost of possession, back pass to keeper, cross the ball away without any target, irresponsible passing to teammate who is in a tight position, oh and miss passes. Even Gerrard did lost possession after being pressured by the opponent. Lack of movement from every player on the pitch.

There is one player I am very impress with, Yaya Toure, he could hold the ball despite pressure from 2 or even 3, 4 players. And yet he could get out from the pressure calmly, and pass it accurately, and even past through them and bring the ball forward.
We desperately need a player like Yaya Toure. Hendo? no. Allen? hell no. Lucas? no. Gerrard? yes for a match, then no for the next match. Coutinho? his size is the biggest disadvantages. Suso? yes, but where did he go?

Rodgera Complained Our Squad Not Big Enough
If the squad is small. Y we should loan them out? Carroll last year case for example. We should strength those key area but sadly he didn't. Not enough of players? U talk to John Henry then. Not us. The player u bought u gotto take responsibility. As simple as that. We watch how u make players perform not asking u to tell us what u lack.
I don't think its a wise move to let go of Big Caroll, although his price tag doesn't really apply to his performance, but he is decent. At least we could just keep him, and we don't really need Borini, and another Spanish Borini, Aspas. If the squad is small. Y we should loan them out? Carroll last year case for example.
