    Is it only me who thinks we suck from set pieces. For the past few seasons we don't look like scoring from them unless Sami was in the box to attack the ball.

    How hard is it to get a yard on a defender to get a header at goal. I honestly believe sometimes it would be easy if we don't even take corners so we don't get hit on the break because I know we're not going to score from them.

    I know we scored against Stoke from a corner but other than that we don't look like scoring or even making the goalkeeper work. It's not just this season, I have thought this for the past few season when ever Sami wasn't playing. Look at our CB's Carra has scored more own goals then goals for Liverpool and Sktrel has never scored for us and that doesn't look like changing any time soon. It makes me laugh that Carra doesn't even go up for most corners because in all fairness he's not the worst. I've heard Kyrgiakos is good at set pieces but he's not going to be playing many games.

    I'm also not happy at how we defend set pieces. I'm not a fan of zonal marking at all and it just takes the **** that we bring all 10 men back. How about leaving Torres and Yossi on the half way line which means the oppostition having to leave 3 defenders back and try and hit them on the break. It's really hurting us that teams are allowed to get a extra yards on our defenders and lets be honest we don't have the biggest team. Don't get me wrong I don't want to turn into Bolton and Stoke and just work on set pieces but it would be nice to score from a few or make the goalkeeper work more. Just look at Arsenal this season even they're scoring from set pieces with Gallas scoring in 3 games already.

    We had 10 corners against Villa and only once can I remember making Freidel making a save (Torres header tipped over). Villa on the other hand had 4 corners and scored from 1, scored a free kick and penalty. All goals were from set pieces. I know the Lucas own goal was unlucky and the penalty was just one of the most stupid tackles i've seen for a while from Gerrard.

    I also don't get why Lucas has been taking corners, Why isn't Yossi taking them. I don't want Gerrard taking them because he always hits the 1st man and is one of the better headers of the ball we've got. I know Aurelio normally takes corners as well but with him injured we look poor.

    I want to leave on something postive but I can see us conceding from another set piece against Bolton on saturday. Hopefully i'll be proven wrong. I would love for Rafa to sign a set pieces coach.

    After 2 early defeats are we still in the title race?

    I know it's very early but we clearly lack the strength in depth to challenge Man Utd, Chelsea or Arsenal for the title. We sold our best player in Xabi and replaced him with a player who is injured and no Premier Legaue experience in Aqua. Don't get me wrong i'm not going to judge him without him even kicking a football for us.

    We can't expect Lucas to step into the position and do everything that Alonso did last season. There are very few players in the world who could do that job as well straight from the word go, if any. Others around him need to take up some of the slack.

    Gerrard has been poor in my opinion. He's at least been nowhere near his usual standard. However, one thing to consider about Gerrard, is that he had a very interrupted pre-season. He has been flat, and his lack of pre-season game time, plus the distraction a trial would provide, can't have helped. A fully functional Gerrard at close to the top of his game would take a lot of pressure off Lucas.

    Not many days left before the transfer window closes and i'm just praying we can add to our squad but i very much doubt it.

    Xabi Alonso <<<< Gerrard and Torres. Obviously.

    I don't think Aquiliani is a "Premiership Player". We shall see though. We made 10 million out of it, and I want to see it used tbh.

    Rafael Benetiz must be punished for giving Keane and Alonso.
    Without them Liverpool = nothing just fail

    Sorry i forgot to write best player last season
     
  19. SM MD Dorn

    Nah, i would have said Yossi was our best last season.

    I flat out believe Rafa has got the midfeild wrong.
    Lucas & Masceranho are both terrific defensive guys, but offer nothing going forward, in fact, they even make it harder for Gerrard to create something. Alonso last year played so well because Gerrard took alot of the defense's attention, allowing him to roam and be the provider, Lucas quite simply cannot do this.

    Also think the wings aren't right... Yossi should be in the Mid with Gerrard, Lucas on the bench. Masceranho on the DM.

    Left wing should be Albert Riera and Right wing should be Kuyt, with Aqualini coming in when he's fit.

    And Jeyshiva, Keane was one of the worst signings Rafa ever made, he just never fitted into the scheme of things. Go back to your language converter and come up with an opinion, not just some bullshit
