Can't blame Carroll for the hoofing, that falls on the back four. If Agger and Johnson didn't get injured you can be sure that we would not have been hoofing it all match long. We need so many new players its unreal.

You have to consider we went into this match with a centre midfield of Lucas and Spearing and yet even sides at who are anchored at the bottom of the league have superior pairings than that, for example Parker and Hitzlsperger who would have surely been selected for us this afty. I think people need to take the rose tinted off for a bit and consider exactly what we have on the books to pick from. Squads fekin threadbare.

As soon as we were denied that clear penalty and the two early injuries, you just tell it wasnt going to be our day. Roll on English summer

Liverpool have enouigh strength in depth to close down a game against West Brom despite injuries. The lads should have settle for a draw and a single poitn once they realised the way the game as panning out - thats whats disappointing and shows a lack of tactical nouse.

Defence was terrible, midfield was clueless, Suarez-Carroll had not much support. Diehard Kenny fans are right in pointing out the team were missing Kelly, Gerard, Agger, no Alonso replacement and Lucas, Spearing were terrible , the team against Albion was a team B and finally Kenny needs to overhaul the team by making a few star signings in the summer. All these reasons do hold water.
I agree with that and that the Albion game was not our first team and were mostly 2nd rate players. Now, if we were outclassed and thrashed by a strong side with a team B then that was expected. But with a team B against the likes of W.Brom, W.Ham, Wigan in the bottom half and whose players are also equivalent to a Liverpool team B, then those games in theory should be evenly matched. However in those games, we were outclassed and seemed to fear the opponents and even fear of getting the ball.
So if those games with lesser teams are not evenly matched in terms of play and ball possession, then I sadly would have to say it out bluntly, that it could be Kenny's inept management. If the Albion game we were thrashed by any of the top teams then I wouldn't suspect Kenny, but with mediocre players against weak sides we were still outplayed and outclassed, I would have to put it down to the manager.
Now, I love Kenny like a brother due to his past contributions as player and manager. But after games like W.Ham, W.Brom and even Wigan (yes we didn't get beat but still outgunned), I am beginning to suspect he could have lost the edge. But at this moment in time, he is still the best person to manage Liverpool but maybe not in the long run.
