Yep. Infuriating that Coutinho seems unable to kick the ball far enough to clear the first man.

Thanks very much for being ‘This Mornings’ Farmer’ -
I remember having a conversation with Neil Young ages ago when Gerrard was not consistently putting in good corners. His point was that perhaps his corners were getting cut out by the first man because he was aiming to just miss him for a really dangerous corner rather than delivering something that would definitely reach the middle. Maybe it is a similar effect for Coutinho? Annoying nonetheless.Originally posted by Shaggy View Post
The opposite end of the spectrum would be what I saw at Cambridge on boxing day. Every corner went to the same spot just outside the six yard box but equally consistently it was just too high for anyone to head on goal with any power. I guess the question is what is the best way of playing the odds."The man who never alters his opinion is like standing water, and breeds reptiles of the mind."

97% passing accuracy (30/31) for his 30 minute run out against Hull. Poor Aspas (who he replaced) only attempted 30 passes in double this time, completing 21 (70% success).Comment

when you see our midfielders missing the target from the edge of the box or closer it brings tears to my eyes.
at least gerrard knows where the net is.removing all the weak links makes us stronger
too many gutless players, no beef or desire. pussies everywhere... sack them all.Comment

I've been (overly) critical of Gerrard this season but boy was he a sight for sore eyes on the touchline yesterday! Now that he's had a break, and has seen first hand how dynamic our midfield has been WITHOUT him, he'll know he has serious competition for places.
And we need his goals, strength and intelligence.One tit for another.

Going to be an excellent DM once he gets used to the role. A deep lying playmakerComment

He'll do better when he's got Hendo & Allen in front of him instead of Lucas so he doesn't need to play Hollywood passes too often.Originally posted by RedRum View PostMe, I’m either planning a holiday or I’m on one.Comment

Thought he was poor yesterday against Stoke. He was wasteful with his passing when we needed to keep hold of it, the penalty masked his performance, imo.
I read that he lost the ball 18 times yday, do you know any DM who loses the ball 18 times in a game?
As far as I'm concerned, Gerrard should not start our away games and have been saying that for some time. Allen, Henderson and Lucas should play the away games and use the high pressing that we saw at Spurs.Comment
