The good ship inspiration steered by King Kenny and his Able Seaman Luis Suarez, up until the Spurs game when it hit the rocks, patently ran aground against Aston Villa. Apart from an attempt by Lucas cleared off the line and Skrtel just failing to get hold of Aurelio’s free-kick, we were just not at the races. Just as in the previous game the hard work from the team could not be faulted, but the lack of ingenuity leaves the team looking almost one dimensional and heavily reliant on Suarez to create something out of nothing.
The team missing the inspirational driving spirit of the irrepressible Gerrard finally hit the wall. Gerrard offers goals, creativity, drive and defensive capability as well inspiration and it is for reason we hope Stevie Gerrard, who sat with our away support, comes back fully fit and revitalised. With the ever improving Meireles and Suarez Liverpool should be capable of challenging strongly for a Chanpions League position and even an outside chance of challenging for the Premiership with no European football.
The club will have to work the oracle to bring some top buys in the summer transfer window with no European football, even the Europa Cup has some value. Camolli will have to prove his worth, but this is where having Kenny Dalglish as the manager will be beneficial, as wth the signings of Suarez and Carroll he seems able to sell the club as part of the attraction is surely the manager himself. Luis Suarez, undoubtedly a world-class player, talks about the manager not just with respect for his managerial abilities, but with reverence for what he achieved as a player.
It may well be that Liverpool will be forced to look more towards the home market with a view to bringing in quality signings in the summer, but we are not far away and with the right additions and a sprinkling of foreign buys creativity and inspiration my not just rest on the shoulders of Suarez and Gerrard, but with the team as a whole, especially with the foundations already in place both on and off the pitch.

Yes, we are getting back on track, players playing with confidence and good football, then Bang! Loose against Spurs and then Villa.
ReplyDeleteOne team competing against Champions league spot.
We have been playing so well without Super Gerard and most of us started to think that we did not need to rely too much in every game.
Wrong! The words, goals, creativity, drive and defensive capability as well inspiration, and fight until the whistle blows, is something that our players need to learn, if you are going to win games in the Premier league!
Just look at the Champions! All eleven players work so hard for each other, its attitude and desire to win each game.
I think Dalglish done really well to bring in Luis Suarez, world class and skill full, Andy Carroll a great signing but I think he needs to start to show the £35m.
We are not far off; we are cable of beating any team, its just having the right players with winning attitudes every game.
In Dalglish we TRUST!
Things are on the up! Its amazing to think that Stevie has been out for so long , yet until the last week has hardly been missed. Something that if you had told me this at Christmas I would have thought you had escaped from Broadmoor mental institution.
ReplyDeleteThere is no disputing we need some width & guile. Players who have something to prove & are on their way up. Nzogbia & Young have been widely touted. I think that Adam as deadball specialist would be very useful in a modern-day Gary Macallister type role. We need to make sure when we play Andy Caroll we can supply him with quality service. For me I would rather have good players that want to play for the club than 50 million pound half-arsed efforts.
The arrival of the King and the blooding of so many youths this season only bodes well for the future
