you can remove the "two". If we have another poor season Kenny will be gone.
From tonights game the major concern is the over reliance on Gerrard. It just further highlights how we havent strengthened at all. We keep relying on one player to dig us out of a hole. He doesnt play theres no goal threat as we have seen all season.
Suarez's creativity is sublime, but we need a player with a cutting edge alongside him. There is no top finisher at the club (besides Gerrard) and a quality #9 needs be be first priority in the window.
You're stating the obvious - we miss our best players (Gerrard, Lucas etc..) and how they impact the outcome of games, we don't have the clinical finisher we need, new buys have taken longer to settle in and/or come up to the required standard and we had to move on possibly better players to lighten the payroll.
That much we know.
For those quick to blame KK for buying Carroll, bear in mind thats both Comolli's and the scouts job, plus of course, Rafa said he (ie the club) had a database of 5,000 player videos. Obviously Carroll's video is now 'missing' however there is a recognised structure within the club for players to pass/be approved before they get to the managers desk. None of us like 'accountability' however there must be a few red faces at Anfield concerning the recent buys.
