The problem with playing one striker is that an overreliance develops on that striker.That is because no like for like replacement on the bench.No top striker will be content sitting on the bench and playing second fiddle to another top striker.

Lfc always struggle after international break.
A draw would be good at everton unless we get a red card or penalty in our favour.

Dropping points this weeks ain't that bad because ars play soto while spurs play city.

We cant expect the official website to publish negative stories.So nothing to be surprised about.

With that being said I personally dont think there is anything major between sas and I believe their partnership can remain like.Healthy competition should be encouraged rather than a striker with goalscoring burden.

I just dont understand why they are sacked.If rodgers wanted rubbish from dalglish era such as kevin keen sacked then it would have made sense.

FSG seems to blamed for everything although they didn't do it.Many tried to pin the racist british policy under kenny on fsg.Now some are saying borrell was sacked by fsg when in fact br wanted them out.

Well you are right.If it turns out well everyone will be hailing br as the messiah but if it goes awry then he will be heavily criticised for undoing rafa's long term plan.

Pretty much the same with our formations.While we were winning with 352 everyone supported Br to play it.Then one or two games we didn't win suddenly everyone says 433 is the best for us.

Allen looks a waste of space.
Time to bring on sturridge.

Where is sturridge?suarez very much isolated

Where is sturridge?suarez very much isolated

I said before the game that a draw won't be too bad since we will still be in the top 4 as other top teams fight each other.

I think we are pretty much getting to the end of welsh xavi's time here.Thank you for services allen but they are not needed.Carloz you get your wish.hahaha

Yesterday also underlined the importance of playing two or more strikers up front.We have too many passenger midfielders who can't make a difference in the match.If we are talking about barca or bayern then it would make sense to pack the midfield.

Suarez to real madrid rumours has started again and I believe if we dont maintain in the top 3 and buy some QUALITY midfielders then we are resigned to losing him.

It's very important we start winning some matches against big teams in dec if we are gonna keep suarez and finish in the top 4 come may.

I suspect the same ones defending allen now will be the first to be cursing and burning suarez shirt if he does eventually leave.

I wont blame suarez if he does leave because he has given his best even after all the summer fracas.It's just that those behind him are not upto mark.While we defend the likes of allen,suarez will grow disillusioned.

Purple patch means the opposite dude.

Reina too was said to be going through poor form.
However rodgers had acted fast and got rid of him.Now we have mignolet who is our top 3 player alongside sas so far this season.

There will always be someone better.No more room for sentiment at lfc.I did say allen should be given two or three games before passing judgement.He was given has failed to grab the opportunity.Do you honestly think he will improve his performance miraculously in the next few games?

Come on la cardiff!

Yeah.yesterday they celebrated today we celebrate
hahaha.

I wonder what allen can bring to the team.
He would probably play well when the entire team plays well.Kinda like henderson.

The more we frustrate suarez by playing the likes of allen the more likely he is too leave.

Quality midfielder needed in january.Preferable pastore.He could have the same impact sturridge had.

Transfers in jan....

Allen out -7million
Skrtel out- 15 to million
cissokho back to valencia if possible

pastore in-25million
mvilla in- 15 to 18million
possibly coentrao on loan

That gives a net spend of around 15 million and would greatly strengthen top 4 chances.

Ending mourinho unbeaten record at stamford bridge is also going to be difficult.

Draws from these games is what we fans should realistically expect.Of course the players should go into these matches aiming to win.Only then we will get a draw.If they go aiming for a draw then we would probably lose.

What other team fans tell me is that without suarez sturridge and mignolet we wouldn't be second now.I cant disagree with them much.Lets hope those in between would step up with crucial contributions.

Well according to some posters our other players are more than capable of stepping up their games in the absence of sturridge or suarez.

I just hope excuses that we are missing one of our star players won't start trickling in if we happen to get an unfavourable result.

After all,our other players can step up and score or assists.isn't that so?

I dont understand why alberto getting criticism.He rarely plays and is expected to change a game when he comes on?

What about hendo who has played every minute?wasnt he supposed to be the playmaker today?

Bottomline is we need marquee signings in jan.Mata telur mata or pastore I dont care.Someone who can lift us like ozil did to arsenal.
