First the good news. The tiki taka football ie long possessions, attacking football, multiple passes etc are well in place and we are almost playing to what BR wants.
The bad news is, we struggle with scoring. The Man U game epitomised our PL performance so far, long spells of attacking and possession, struggle to score and the opponents though had much less possession still managed to get the 3pts. My main criticism of BR is, why did he let Carroll leave without replacement?
FSG are losing my respect because they didn't invest heavily to support their man in BR. Now we have a thin squad and we're calling up the boys to help out. How many PL sides are doing that except us? This reminds me a bit of the last days of Hitler when he was calling the Hitler Youth to fight the invading allies, we're bit like that now. Thanks to FSG. Forget about them building a new stadium, if they can't even come out with the funds to sign that much needed proven scorer, how can you expect them to build a new stadium? Liverpool's future is not bright under them, a mid table side at best.
Against Norwich, yes, it's another must win game, but what's the point of playing fluid attacking football if you cannot score more than your opponents and win the b.loody game? Maybe BR should change to Houllier's tactics a bit ie just play to win regardless of how boring or defensive the football was and won many games we did under him though the football were mostly not really exciting to watch.
Please Reds, go and beat Norwich for the sake of all of us fans because we've not had a PL win for a long time, I think the last was the 4-1 thrashing of Chelsea at home in May.
