Malcolm X

I agree to an extent. Unfortunately, Johnson and Skrtel individually give me the sh*ts but combined they are a disaster. We should look for a left back (Coentrao) and buy Richards. We can then move Flanno over to the right. I think at this stage, anyone is better than Johnson.

Apparently 14 goals we conceded this season were down to individual mistakes. The most out of the top four. The article below highlights why we have conceded so many goals. http://www.theliverpoolword.com/2014/03/analysis-of-liverpools-defensive-errors-in-conceding-goals/

In the vast majority of cases, it has clearly been the personnel and their inability to defend or get in the right position or individual mistakes rather than the system. Off the top of my head, below is a summary of the goals we leaked: - City's 2nd goal at Etihad - Mig's mistake and Skrtel being out of position - WBA's equaliser at the Hawthorns - Toure's suicidal pass - Crystal Palace - 2 of the 3 goals were due to the defenders not knowing where they should be (mainly Johnson) - Chelsea's first goal at Anfield - Gerrard slips but the centerbacks are way apart from each other. They should have been much closer which would have given one of them a chance to get tight on Ba. - Chelsea's second goal at Stamford Bridge - Mig should save that. - Norwich's two goals - down to defensive mistakes - Fulham's 2 goals - down to defensive mistakes. Own goal and then shocking defending by Skrtel. - Stoke - at least 2 goals could have been avoided. Charlie Adams' goal where we failed to close him down and Walters' goal where we failed to clear the ball in our area. We have conceded 12 goals from either individual errors or poor play from our defence. Take out the City, WBA, CP and Chelsea mistakes (x2) and we are 7 points better off an league champions. The above has nothing to do with the system we play as we never really go gung ho. It is down to individuals not doing the job. The defence needs an overhaul and the first one out the door should be Johnson. You can make a case for Skrtel. Yes he scores goals but he equally lets in just as much if not more at the other end. Sakho is walking a tight rope.

The only time that has happened in the last 10 years was 2010/11 season. Over the last 10 seasons, the league winning teams have averaged 88 points. Full points total is as follows: 2004/05 – 95 2005/06 – 91 2006/07 – 89 2007/08 – 87 2008/09 – 90 2009/10 – 86 2010/11 – 80 2011/12 – 89 2012/13 – 89 2013/14 - 86 Chelsea and Man City have changed the landscape and moved the bar higher. We played out of our skin in the second half of the season but fell short because the bar is between 86-88 points to win it. Unfortunately we have been playing catch up ever since Moores sold us down the river.

Hopefully the new calmer and more sensible one (if I have not been banned by then).

Coming up short this season will make it even sweeter when we win it next year. I think the players and fans needed the experience of a title run-in. I believe next year we will all be much better for the experience.

But they wont, the corrupt *****. They will likely take a hefty payment from City, give them a small slap on the wrist and move on. Sod them anyway. We have had a good season. However, we need reinforcements (and a little bit of luck) if we are to take the next step.

Is right. No matter how many top class players we line up, he will screw it up. I hope Rodgers puts a clause in his new contract that he wants someone else to conclude transfer dealings.

Brendan is boss.

I am sure you would.

He scored 17 goals in 34 League games with 8 assists. Not Suarez's league (then again not many are) but he's not sh*t. Isco and Coentra are not cast offs.

100m plus Benzema, Isco and either one of Morata or Coentrao and we might talk.

City had not won at Everton for a long time and look how that ended up. Stranger things have happened this season.

We are waiting for Dudek's double save on Wednesday.

Next season Flafu should be the first name on the teamsheet for defence. The rest can fight it out for the other 3 places.

Of course let's not consider the fact that he has been playing out of position all season. Also, let's completely discount the fact that he has been playing in defence that has been chopping and changing from game to game.

Look I know my post was bang out of order and I apologised for that. And thanks for letting me post.

Samir Nasri tweeted: "What a game, what a league, I love Crystal Palace so much now our turn to do the job."

http://www.bbc.co.uk...otball/27290060 What a bunch of low life f*cking scum no-marks. Enjoy years in the wilderness d*ckheads. Oh and Samir Nasri - you can go f*ck yourself too.

The question is not about getting in the top 3. I have absolutely no doubt whatsoever that we will be in the top 3. The issue is about winning it. I think next year will be much more difficult to win it than this year.

Agreed but on occassions he just looks lost and out of position. He might be more physical than Agger but Agger at least has a calmness about him. Problem is when you have one nervous defender and another sh*t one, it flows through the entire back four. Shopping list for the summer should be: Left back Strong defensive midfielder Attacking midfielder/winger x 2 Striker

F*ck you too d*ckhead. Its okay for people to slag Johnson, Skrtel, etc on other threads but when I do it. I am tedious. F8ck off pr*ck.

I think he deserves better than seeing 3-0 lead slip by a sieve like defence. He is the only one who has been on it and working his testicles off. Others should take a leaf out of his book. And f*ck off Johnson.

Sakho was nervous and awful. I hope it is because he was injured for so long and after a good pre-season he will be a beast. If not, we have p*ssed 17m down the drain. Skrtel did well until they scored. He then got nervous like the rest of the back four. It was awful all round.

Agger back there would have been a much safer option than Sakho. F*ck me, Sakho is a disaster waiting to happen. Without Skrtel, we probably do not win some of the matches we did. Johnson has to go. He is utter utter sh*t.
