Kenny isn't what we need

[Neil Young]

Do you tell them the same things over and over again and they have to repeat what you tell them until they 'get it right'?

[Arn]

Yet we still created chances and despite not playing great could have been out of sight by half time

Its frightening that someone doing his job so badly can put out a team with the wrong formation and unfit players and still get them creating (and unfortunately missing) chance after chance

Even when he brings off those players who shouldnt be playing and changes formation and we continue to create chance after chance we still fail to convert those chances we are creating

Bottomline is this, no matter what formation is tried or which combination of players is on the pitch if you dont take your chances (which we clearly dont) you wont win games

We didn't create chance after chance until after Bellamy and Kuyt had entered the pitch. Before that we only had two good scoring chances.

No, they are kids. They should be allowed to have some fun. The result in a game isn't that important. The important thing is to have fun out there.

I try to teach them some tactical things but as I said. The most important thing is to have fun out there.

We created more than two chances first half

Even so we still didnt take any of them

Just like we didnt take any of them when Bellamy & Kuty came on

Incidentally I find it the height of hilarity that you criticise Kenny for playing Suarez with hamstring problems when Rafa frequently played an unfit Torres when he shouldnt have (and in the process often set the players fitness back further)

[Lecter]

That is about my level

You said it not me

Yes, that is the most important thing. And not just in kids' football.

I did criticize Rafa when he did that. Many times. From what I can remember I got attacked time after time suggesting that we must rest Torres more often.

If you read a certain book by Reade then you should also know that our medical staff didn't tell the whole truth to Rafa how badly injured Torres was.

That resulted in the famous sub when he took Torres off and Gerrard shaking his head when he did it.

[Dalglish]

What hamstring problems does Suarez have? I guess I missed this

[Neil Young]

Every time he's about to score one of his hamstrings goes funny and he misses.

Suarez isnt anywhere near as badly injured as Torres was though

Torres' level dropped enormously Suarez general ability hasnt

I dont buy that Suarez is missing chances because of injury either

He was missing chances last season as well that he should have taken

My mistake. It is a calf injury

Suarez and Reds defender Sebastian Coates face a hectic international break with Friday’s qualifier against Chile in Montevideo followed by a friendly against Italy in Rome next Tuesday night.

The former Ajax frontman, who flew with Coates to South America after Saturday’s 0-0 draw with Swansea City, says he’s been hampered by a calf problem in recent weeks.

However, he has vowed to be fit to line up for the depleted Copa America winners, who are without the injured Diego Forlan among others.

“Obviously after Saturday’s game and the trip I am a bit tired but I am recovering,” Suarez added.

“It is incredible the quantity of injuries that we have. I also was hurt in the calf during the games with Norwich and Stoke but thankfully it was not major. We’re happy to be top of the qualifying group but this is an important match against Chile because then we do not play until June.”

Pepe Reina has been named in the Spain squad for Saturday’s friendly against England at Wembley but there’s no place for clubmate Jose Enrique.

Liverpool midfielder Charlie Adam has dropped out of the Scotland squad to face Cyprus in a friendly in Larnaca on Friday due to a knee injury.

I dont think he has been seriously injured its probably just a minor niggle

I dont think it has hampered him too much nor has it affected his finishing (he scored 2 at Stoke when he picked up a knock)

If we are making excuses for him because of injury we should be doing the same for Adam (as he is also mentinoed in the above

[Exiled_red]

Suarez's finishing can be erratic at times, one hopes that as he gains more experience, he can learn to apply a little more composure and turn into a better finisher. For me, it's the only part of his game that's noticeably weak.

[~LFCHistory~]

Serious question for those that believe all our problems this season are done to Suarez's poor finishing - How did we manage to score so many goals last season under Dalglish (namely Fulham away, Birmingham and Newcastle at home etc.) but this season we are 11th in the league in terms of goals scored (14) Norwich and Bolton have scored more than us so far.
