History for El-Cholo

Decided not to post yesterday as I'm not really sure I would have had anything nice to say.. But here's a few thoughts about the game/ season.

 

Think we can afford to give Skrtel some leeway seeing as he's been easily our most consistant player and an absolute beast. Its a shame that Lucas, and more recently Agger and GJ, got injured cos nobody was f**king scoring past them. (That being said, the players on the pitch yesterday have no excuse for what happened. And, with the greatest respect, it was QPR...) But, f**k it. We lost having any chance for fourth when RvP scored in the last minute against us at Anfield. Even though we should still try and win, hopefully it will stop papering over the cracks and Kenny and Clarke will realise they need a few more players yet. Regardless, the players should be embarassed by what happened. But we shouldn't be. We're supporters of Liverpool Football Club. Never, in my life, have I been embarassed to be a Liverpool fan. That being said, I hope the players f**king walked home because they were pathetic for 15 minutes. 

 

Hate all these stats coming out comparing Hodgson and Dalglish. Yes, football is a results business. But you're blind as a f**king bat if you can't see an improvement in our play. You all say "yeah, same old story, dominate and then fail to win". At least we are domintating, for a start. And, at the end of the day, it is Kenny. And you know what? He f**king loves the club. I believe he will learn from his mistakes. And, at the very least, we should give him time to mould his team. And before you scream "Hodgson, Hodgson" at me, no. Let us not forget the players he brought in. Or, perhaps even worse, that he wanted to sell Lucas for peanuts. aAnd Agger because he "passed the ball out of defence".

 

I think its obvious we need a really good finisher to play next to Suarez. Somebody like a Falcao () or a Cavani type player. . It does frustrate me seeing Gerrard playing so deep as well. Because positionally he's all over the place in the middle, and often gets forward so much he lets the other side's midfield waltz through. Put him up further forward. AND STOP PLAYING HENDERSON ON THE RIGHT. I love Hendo, and I think he's gonna be a superb footballer. But I just wish he would play in the middle rather than out right. Because he's not great out there, and we are lacking something in the middle.

 

The thing that really f**ks me off is the way we drop back a lot when we take the lead. We invite pressure on ourselves when there really is no need. Consequently, stuff like that happens. Other teams know they have a chance. That really annoys me. We do it so often.

 

There's actually a great article on RAWK about stupid football, really good read.

 

Oh, and also set pieces. But, this is Liverpool, so thats just about a given  How many corners do we have every game and nothing comes from them?! And then defending them we always concede from them too! So annoying.

 

And yup, paulm, Coates is an absolute monster. The kid will be some player. He was starting a lot of games at the Copa for the winning Uruguay team. Hate people who say he 'might not be ready' for a trip to Stoke away or something. The lad has played against Argentina- in Argentina- for Uruguay. And won. 

 

Maybe if you need cheering up, you should go read Luis Garcia's tweets. Top lad and really appreciates what an honour it was to play for Liverpool.

 

Aha, most of it probably doesn't make sense but I feel better already. Onwards and upwards (please!)
