bell Posted May 12, 2013 Author Share Posted May 12, 2013 BTW, If we score 2 against QPR it will be our 2nd highest goals tally in the Premier League era (77 in 2008 is our highest). Though there are only 3 Premier league seasons where we have conceded more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Select_screen_name: Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 If we keep this years form, but manage to turn the home losses against Villa, West Brom in to wins, and the away at West Brom and Southampton in to wins, we're on course to be a decent outfit in the mix for fourth. Not to mention the draws against some poor teams. All we need is a new defence and defensive set up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluebirds4life Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Coutinho, what a buy. Sturridge - 11 goals in 13, top buy. When you consider their ages, along with more shrewd signings especially in the summer next season could be big. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie_G_32201 Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 I'm in agreement, sort out our defensive issues and buy maybe 1 more striker and we can definitely challenge for the top 4. One step at a time, first top 4 then...THE WORLD. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjaminpeter Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Next season could be very interesting in terms of the race for the top 4. Man Utd, Chelsea, probably Man City getting new managers, Spurs not looking good enough if they lose Bale. That kind of instability could work out very well for us. Having said that, i'm still not convinced we'll be a top 4 side until 2014/15 at the earliest. I think the players we've got need a bit more time to mature, grow in confidence and learn how to win games when we're the better team. I also think Rodgers has more to learn about his team selection and set-up, mainly that using players out of their best position does not work 90% of the time. Plus we'll have our own instability with getting a new backline. Next season will be better than this one, but I reckon our league standing will only improve by one or two places.

Daaaaave Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Sturridge is by far the most egotistical, unprofessional non-team player we've had for years. Everything he touched yesterday went to ****. Mainly down to him being an average footballer, but more to him not laying it off to players in a better position to score. You could tell he wanted to be 'the man' and win the derby. Problem is Daniel, you're not good enough. Coutinho should refuse to pass to him and Brednan give him a good dressing down. qft. :D Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevinLFC Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Like I said, where was you when he stunk the place out at Everton, Reading and West Ham? It happens to most strikers. RVP stunk out OT for a month or so a few months ago. I rather have a striker that has a go rather than one that passes sideways and has no confidence in shooting like Heskey use to do.

DeafParrot Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Spent all day at work trying to avoid the 3pm kick off scores. Managed to get through to see MOTD without knowing. COATES! COUTINHO! STURRIDGE! REINA MAKING SAVES! Seems like Borini had a good cameo again too. Shown more in 3 games since coming back from injury than he did in the 15 beforehand.

Select_screen_name: Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 He's played just as much as Varane and Marcelo this season, so its not as though hes been cast out completely. Doesn't look the dominant type, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian McFarland Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Lacks a bit of pace, which would concern me a bit. I'd say he's fourth choice CB at Madrid at the moment, and at one stage he would have been behind Carvalho as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
