Liverpool v Fulham Post Match

I thought our midfield was very good yesterday, Meireles/Poulsen/Gerrard/ seemed to work well, although Gerrard was a bit invisible in the match. This

Meireles has really found his game under KK, and it suits him much much better. He is very good going forward, and it seems like Poulsen is thriving better being a holding mid than the quasi-center-mid under hodgson. 100% correct

The only thing missing from that team right now IMO, is a bigger threat from the wings and some more creativity put through there. Yesterday GJ provided the most out on the wing and he was our LB, so something is needed in front of him and Kelly, who also did very well (again) yesterday. I would also like to see carra back as it would help a lot towards organizing the defence and especially in the last 20 min he would have been very valuable.

Torres looks better and better, and unfortunatly had an early goal disallowed. But with him in form and the rest of the team gathering confidence we can challenge for 5th this season dispite our catastrophic first half of the season.

The problem I have with Johnson on the left is the attacking players in front of him can't time their runs as he has to cut back onto his stronger right foot and all too often the play breaks down. A natural lefty is needed at LB IMO and it should be Fabio.

I agree that it would be better with a natural left footed back instead of GJ, as it hampers us going forward. Combined with Maxi who also prefers his right foot and it is bound to be a problem. It would help if GJ could use his left foot just a bit, but he seems very one-footed.

Hope Aurelio finds his way back or we get a new lb in soon.

I thought our main problem towards the end was a complete lack of composure on the ball in our own final third. At times we were lumping the ball out even when there was no Fulham player in the vicinity. That just invited them back on and didn't give us a chance to clear our heads.

.

We were also sitting very, very deep. After hoofing it clear, the Fulham players had a lot of time on the ball to come back at us. There were several times when the players didnt seem sure who should be going to the man (usually Murphy) with the ball.

Probably a hangover from the lack of fitness from Roy's era and having that sitting deep drilled into them.

I also thought we missed Lucas as he's usually quite composed in those situations. Gerrard and Raul were tending to lash it clear in (at best) the vague direction of Torres.

I don't mind maxi cutting inside at times but they both can't do it. Either Kenny should give Fab a go or if the reports about the konch making way for warnock are true, the warnock can offer an option. Personally. I prefer Fabio but I know his fitness record only too well

I think that last night showed why we're looking at Adams to be honest for this window, the MF was poor last night.

Good on the guys though getting a win when not playing at their best, if this had been under the Bodge I'd imagine we'd have been done 1-2 or 1-3 rather than getting the 3 points.

Wins like this will be important for the confidence levels moving forwards.

Think it was Collymore on Talk****e that was saying we need a player like him to free Gerrard and Raul up to get closer to Torres. He was saying Adam can pick the ball up from Pepe and distribute it up to them cleaner and quicker than someone like Poulsen can. Lucas does a brillaint job back there and we missed him last night, but Adam would fit in perfectly next to him and keep the play moving. He wont be an integral cog, but he could be an effective one.

Quite agree

To be honest I think that a good supply player is possibly more important than a striker at this time...

Kenny now has the highest wins-to-games ratio of any Liverpool manager - 60.7%. Fact.

if he has had 5 games and won two of them then his ratio is lower than it was when he started

[Alex]

Ive just noticed that now were 7th, its the highest we have been in the league this season. Hodgeson never got higher that 8th.

Who says changing the manager doesnt have a good effect? Where the LMA now with there crowing?

[banditos]

My thoughts exactly. Check you fachts Reece.

[elrichio86]

Presumably it includes his games from his previous time as manager

[banditos]

Of course, but how can his games-win ration have increased since his current 5 game spell started? He's only won 40% of those, so his games-win ratio must have decreased recently.

[Fernandinho]

If we come 5th Dalglish should win LMA manager of the year

And all the pomp and ceremony that goes with such an honour
