Looking ahead to the world cup, England look like a solid team if they mix everton and Liverpool players. Johnson - cahill - Jones - baines Gerrard Henderson --------- barry Sterling Sturridge ---- Rooney Bench (barkley, wilshere, milner, chamberlain, lamps)Not bad at all.

Nice troll

Its not just the finishing but mostly decision making. That's why we don't create as much chances as we enter into dangerous positions everytime. Look at this picture: 02 And then they send word toWillian Our decision making these are basic things that we can't do. Pass to the person close to the goal and he choses the wing. The other time, oscar chose to shoot from distance when eto and salah were through on goal. These guys are professionals, but I don't know how one can teach someone at their age to make an obvious correct decision. This is why our attacking looks blunt sometimes, lack of smart people. If muller (he has no skills / speed) was in this position, we score more goals because of basic smart thinking. All our AM's remind me of lennon(speed and no brain cells/end product)

Let's hope so. I've ran out of explanations for 4months of poor form. The only thing that can explain this is thinking about world cup. Hopefully he picks up for us at least in the champs league.

Thank goodness I wasn't the only one who noticed this. He is our best chance of getting behind the defence. We got so much worse when he left

Our decision making nothing mourinho can do about this. Just basic brain cells

He should be careful, I hope he's not saving himself for Brazil because that could backfire. Coutinho is miles ahead of him for 3 months now.

Oscar was on form at that time, no one expected this kind of collapse from him. Mata is far more consistent and we ended up missing that sadly. I just saw your post, I don't know who u were talkin to but its just funny how we've underestimated the importance of a proper striker. But we all watched drogba carry an average side to win the champions league with vital goals and physically making life difficult for defenders. What do our strikers offer???? Pace? no physicality? No long range goals? No individualistic goals like even sterling does? No They can only score when placed with the ball 5yards in front of goal and people are wondering why its easy to shut us out. We are all looking for entertaining football but we played that last season without strikers and we finished 15 points behind champions and out of the title race by January. Strikers are the most important part of a top team.

Unfuckinbelievable!!!!!

Unfuckinbelievable!!!!!

Story of our season really. Every keeper wins man of the match against us or our finishing is shit.

Easy monnnnneeeyyyy!!!

Let's hope they r amazing with luiz IN MIDFIELD

What??

I understand your point in comparing costa to those playing on the wing like he did last season. But the difference between costa and all those other spain players is their gameplay. Costa is a willing runner, almost cavani level energy, he doesn't make dissapearing acts like soldado/torres, he is always in the thick of the action. He's also south american and I consider south americans to have the best group of strikers because of the energy they play with(aguero, tevez, suarez, cavani, falcao, messi and so on). He is never static like torres. He will run into channels and his physicality makes it easy to find him high balls, through balls or crosses. Athletico then play the same defensive, high pressing, physical, counter attacking, football we play and in this system he has scored the same amount of goals in laliga as c.ronaldo (if you remove penalties) Surely he's not an average player as iago aspas and those others you compared him with surely.

The team with fewer mistakes in defence and score their chances in attack wins

Oh my goodness, if we get vidal, the midfield would be finished for years Matic - Vidal Sala/shurle-oscar/wilan-hazard Costa/Cavani Bring on the galacticos!!!!

http://www.reddit.com/r/LiverpoolFC/comments/1y3nzd/statistics_howard_webb_refereeing_liverpool_games/ It's got to be Webb against liverpool!!

I think he has the quickest reactions in europe. Incredible double save

I don't think there is any world class realistically available CM that will drastically improve us. Why don't we give him a chance beside matic next season?? Surely can't be that bad compared to 2014 ramires and can easily fill for mikel's gametime.

I'm comparing their passion for the game, the way they show fighting spirit on the pitch. Things that only the mentally strong do.
