[QUOTE=JohnDoe;2488737]Sahin, Gerrard and Allen have been atrocious. You can't get away with a midfield that is completely devoid of energy[QUOTE]

For me this has been a problem much of the season

The midfield is a total shambles when it comes to working as a cohesive defensive unit

[knockers]

What happened to the philosophy of getting the ball back within 5 seconds or what ever its meant to be then resting on the ball? We don't seem to win it back quickly enough. When we do get it back the passing isn't sharp enough. We need to start creating some actual chances, I don't remember us making one. Got to start playing with some purpose in this second half.

Terrible tactics. Midfield totally isolated from forwards. Defenders retreating under pressure. No width whatsoever.

So, so ****. A shambles again.

[el matador]

Unfortunately neither carra nor coates can play in a flat back four. I just dont think he had any other choice than to play carra in a three.

[Gibbo]

Sahin is 10x better than he is showing, Allen has gone off the boil past few games.

Downing would be better than Enrique, and our lack of striker is clear

[Leyton388]

I can understand why hes gone with 5 at the back but all its done is allow the midfield to abdicate even more responsibility when it comes to pressing and winning possession

I love having possession in our own half and losing games.

It's the liverpool way!

Seriously though he needs to change it as its just not worked. We can have all the possession in the world in our own half but we will lose if we don't score. Teams like chelsea only need one chance and will score

[Fredo]

That was **** ffs.

[Maxiedge]

You can talk about tactics all day long lads. Bottom line is that we're wasteful in possesion, we have no confidence and we're lethargic.

Apart from that, it's all good

[BootRoom]

That's 2 gilt edge chances Carragher has coughed up. This is ****ing ridiculous.

[Fredo]

Only good thing is Luis taking Terry out.

[Muddled]

Pass me the mind bleach.

[ric.williams]

we have no idea

We've had a lot of the ball, 90% of it must be Wisdom passing it to Jones though.

There seems to be no plan in how to score
