Kopite Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Agree with Downing being unlucky with 0 assists last season. There were a few good crosses he has put in that should have been put away. One to Kelly in particular stands out can't remember who it was against though. I hope to see an improvement next season. For me he just looked so low on confidence. When he had a go and tried things he looked good! Hitting the bar after that great run on the opening day of the season against Sunderland springs to mind. I often wonder if he would've had a better season had that gone in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRL88 Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 The one from him to Andy Carroll at home to Swansea always sticks in my mind. When Carroll hit the bar from 6 yards or so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne'o Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 a wide player will only cross the ball if he sees players to aim for, Carrol was never in the box at the right time, i dont think we had our team set up to play with wingers.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
paperclips Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Can not remember the last time i seen a Liverpool player cross the ball and try to pick a man out. They just seem to knock it in the box and hope for the best. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
paperclips Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 It is no secret that Liverpool were not as potent in front of goal as they would have liked in 2011-12 - so we thought it was worth looking beyond the traditional 'assists' table to see who created the most chances during the campaign. Our stats partner Opta has tallied the 'chances created' by every Liverpool player last term - combining 'assists' with final passes which resulted in a chance but not a goal. The data makes interesting reading. Here's a list of our top 10 chance creators in the 2011-12 Barclays Premier League (minutes played in brackets). 1. Luis Suarez - 61 (2,556) 2. Stewart Downing - 55 (2,477) 3. Charlie Adam - 47 (2,175) 4. Dirk Kuyt - 40 (2,002) 5. Andy Carroll - 40 (2,065) 6. Jose Enrique - 34 (2,992) 7. Craig Bellamy - 32 (1,241) 8. Jordan Henderson - 31 (2,663) 9. Steven Gerrard - 27 (1,212) 10. Glen Johnson - 22 (1,952) This season Liverpoolfc.tv signed a deal with Opta that means we can bring you the kind of in-depth statistics that no other club website in English football can offer. And over the next few weeks we're revealing some fascinating figures to help you understand who did what in 2011-12 - continuing today with interceptions, blocks and clearances. http://www.liverpoolfc.tv/news/latest-news/who-creates-the-most-lfc-chances http://www.liverpoolfc.tv/news/latest-news/there-s-only-two-luis-suarez-1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony7 Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Man city are supposedly interested in Skrtel which is why Skrtel is supposed to be considering or considered leaving. I can't see why they would need him though but if he went who would you take from city? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopite Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 I'd take Lescott plus cash for him to be honest. Or Johnson plus cash. I would ratherwe took £20m off them though and replaced him for around £8m-£10m and used the rest to re-invest elsewhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kopite Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 I know it wouldn't work like that. I'd rather have the straight money as well. But I'm sick of us getting poor fees for our players. If City want him play hard ball with a top end figure. We know they have the money, if they don't want to pay it then we keep him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kopite Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Would Clarke have fit in with Rodgers style of play? I've always thought of him as a defensive minded coach but might be completely wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
foofighter23 Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 no, we played a deep def line last season which contributed to us looking solid but also contributed to our lack of goals aswell imo. im also thinking skrtel for big money is a good idea, his form under rafa was patchy and i think it was the high line we played that caught him out, rodgers is set to bring that back which could conceivably catch him out again. i think hes better when facing the ball rather than defending while retreating, if that makes sense?

benkeat Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 He had a class season last year but he's still not in Agger's class, or anywhere near as good as Hyypia or Carragher were at their peaks. So I wouldn't be heartbroken if City came in and offered silly money. I think he's relatively easily replaced. If Agger was to go, then i'd be crushed.

CaptainPlanet Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Can't break up the mighty Skagger Although we're going to be going through a mini rebuild, I don't think upsetting our back line will do us any favours at this point in time.

LRJ Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Sign Godin/Lugano to partner Coates and continue to snap up all the Uruguayans IMO, inevitable that we'd get Cavani eventually if we do this.

Select_screen_name: Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 I've said it before, you can't rely on Agger. This was his joint best premier league season in regards of appearances, and he missed over a quarter of premier league games. Get Douglas in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
benkeat Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Missed 11 league games but how many of them were actually due to injury and how many were down to rotation? He didn't seem to pick up as many injuries this season. And the ones he did were impact injuries (can't legislate for broken ribs). Obviously he's always a risk but for me, when he's fit he plays. If he doesn't, work around it. Definitely not worth replacing him and consigning him to back up to whoever we get because the likelihood is he'll be better than whoever we get, and if last season is anything to go by, he'll be fit more often than not.

Divinity Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 No, your point was that the club should be pandering to what your ****** excuse for journalism puts on it's front pages, even though your statement said the opposite for some bizarre reason. The mail prints it incorrectly and out of context so it shouldn't be said? What sort of logic is that? Newsflash: There was absolutely nothing wrong with his tweet. Nothing. Your argument should be with terrible perceptions amongst your population who don't understand other languages, not with what a player writes to another.

Daaaaave Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 listen, I understand the concept of "when in rome..." and a person working or living in another country would be well served to brush up on social norms before moving there. but I also believe that a country who styles itself a global, cosmopolitan leader made up of a polyglot of citizens and boasts the best iteration of the world's game any nation has to offer, they should wise up and try to understand idiosyncracies and colloquialisms of cultures that are not their own. and if those two paths diverge from time to time, the *least* that should happen is that the supporters of that player's club should stick up for their man rather than cower in fear of wum broadsheets and cry about appearances.
