Well, after tonight's debillitating defeat to the Wounded Lion's of Newcastle United, we have to take yet another setback in our quest for sucess at Liverpool.Without Steven Gerrard and Jamie Carragher and an out of form Torres upfront, we looked a pale shadow of a team.Losing 3-1 was hard to take as we were the better team for most periods of the game and we deserved at least a point to take away from St. James' Park tonight, but it was not to be.
We played well enough, with Raul Miereles and Lucas dominating the midfield but we were let down at the back by some poor marking for the first, second and especially, the third goal.
Newcastle played too well on the night for Liverpool to get a real look in.
The faults at the back I can understand but Fernando Torres did nothing upfront, he had a clear chance one on one with their keeper but he drove it straight at him insteadd of lifting the ball over the keeper as he was trained to do by Benitez.
So we are stuck on 22 points and we are lucky teams above us haven't taken advantage this weekend.
I dont know how many times Ive read the same thing. The 'out of form Torres', 'a shadow of his former self,' 'not firing on all cylinders.'
ReplyDeleteDont know if reporters have noticed, but its getting repetitive. Dont people have their own opinions these days? or do they just check out what every other reporter is writing and go with the flow.
One, if he doesnt receive the service, and doesnt get the ball, he's NOT GOING TO SCORE!
Two, he wont score every single time he gets the ball either! Like you said, he had 'a' chance. ONE chance. Which goes back to the fact that he's not receiving the service he needs, to score the goals that are going to win games for Liverpool.
I agree with "if he doesnt receive the service, and doesnt get the ball, he's NOT GOING TO SCORE!" and in this regard maxi is not working and always wants to score for himself , ngog is not matured enough(but good), we surely need some body at the place of maxi who can pass the ball....maybe the Italian should be back he's got a gift in that regard.
