Team spirit

[ARIMAN]

Cant believe people think that there is a lack of team spirit. People are angry because we arent winning/playing well
That is a good thing - Rafa would have players lost the player if they just were resigned to defeat, but they fought hard (as usual)
Last week - arsenal were all over us at times, but we still fought hard (in the way rafa sets up the team, everyone works as a unit, so if someone doesnt pull their weight, we get opend up)
Senior players - JC and SG have really improved their play and other senior players - Sami - have really step up when needed
What is missing is a settled, best 11,injury free team

On a couple of occasions vs Blackburn Sissoko got himself into good positions around the box and SG quite obviously passed to other options, knowing (quite rightly) Sissoko would more than likely mess it up...

That to me is an obvious lack of trust from one player to another.

Momo was pretty good today. I deffo would not have given the ball to JAR though.

i noticed that too.

I also noticed how the team totally changed when Crouch came on. I seriously think there is something brewing behind the scenes with Crouch. We were playing absolute dross.....then bam!! We start looking like we want to win. Very very strange.

I also liked the way Masher told Carra to **** off after he had a ping. He had every right to have a pop at goal, the midfield dropped of him and the defence let him come onto them (not in that way )....everybody would of taken a shot there.

Don't kid your self that was because we went 442.

i dont think it was at all. The players turned it up a gear

[slimbimjim]

I agree completely. There were a couple of points this evening. Carra and Gerrard both had real pops at one or two of the team. One thing stood out for me tonight though and that was when Gerrard had the ball and was in the penalty area, Momo had found a gap and broke through and Gerrard chose to hit it out wide instead. To me it was blatantly obvious that he had no faith in Momo making something out of it.

Yeah I spotted that too! Was that where Babel had a shot across goal?

I thought it was Babel rushing through the centre at first but even I could understand when I saw who it was. This is unacceptable for LFC. Souness was an even better player than Sissoko and could shoot lightning out his arse.

I wish Lucas was playing last night.

No dont blame Kuyt.

He may have missed chances but he worked harder than anyone else. He was alone up top with no support and he ran for 90 minutes solid.

Not his fault that he just isnt a good enough finisher. Its not right to keep having a go at the lad, he tries hard

True but tryng hard unfortunately is not good enough. I could run like f##k for 90 mins. The problem is with Rafa playing Kuyt when it is obvious now for all to see that he is not good enough

1. His technical ability i.e touch and control are poor
2. His rfeactions decision making and passing are not good enough
3. His goals per game ratio is not what a strikers should be, fat franks is better
4. His finishing is poor

etc etc etc etc

Kuyt played a beautiful ball through for Gerrard to run onto but Freidel was able to keep it out. If that had of gone in and we won 1-0 there probably wouldn't be quite so much flack being aimed at Kuyt!

His finishing today was poor, no denying that, but Rafa has to shoulder most of the blame IMO. He's played him in the hole/ deep 2nd striker most of the time, he's played wide right some of the time and now that Torres is injured, he's playing the lone wolf up front on his own. He never complains ala Cisse or Bell end but still he cops from the fans

Yeah I was really surprised and dissappionted to see Carra have a go at Masher for taking the shot when he did. It's not like he shoots on site all the time or anything is it?

Masher should tell Mr Hoof ball that defenders defend and midfielders create so shut the f up. Hopefully Rafa told Carra as much after the game.

Carra has been a little bit over the top with his the last few games but that is probably down to that he is a 100% winner.

No -one likes to be abused / corrected / whatever when they're trying their hardest. Carra should know that and pull his head in

In case you'd not ****ing noticed, they're supposed to be our "title rivals" and they're above us in the league.

I don't see the problem on what is a FORUM.

Ah **** it, let's all just hold hands and have a happy clappy Sunday.
