The result yesterday has come at a good time we have looked too laid back in games recently and were due to get punished. VVD should stop believing the stuff people are writing about him and cut out the strutting laid back attitude (a problem why some clubs didn’t want him when he left Celtic)
TTA needs a rest I would give Williams a run out.

Lovren had a bad game but he was going to be rusty after so long out and Troy Deeney is a tough player to handle.
When the front 3 don’t perform we have no answers, a player of equal quality needs to come in someone who can play deeper as well (Coutinho is a great fit but don’t see it happening) .

Turn Chelsea over and a win next weekend will set up up for Atletico.
A embarrassing thumping by a bottom 3 side may just turn out to be a blessing in disguise.

Personally i'm not sure it's necessarily Trent being tired, i think our current style of play to FBs and cross it in is slowly being found out. A few times this season teams have had a very strong gameplan against it and it just doesn't work, but we still persist. We need more creativity from the midfield and front 3 through the middle like we used to. We used to tear teams apart with quick fast play through the middle and we don't seem to attempt it much anymore. I feel like this might be why we seem to be linked with a proper ST (Werner) and a creative midfielder, we need more options. Yes the defending was horrific and has become lazy, but our attack isn't firing as much, we have won a lot of games 1-0 which is hard to keep up, and the defence was bound to have a off day eventually.

{Ed001's Note - in what way doesn't it work? The problem isn't with the crosses method, it is with the players not getting on the end of them. The balls are still coming into dangerous areas and we should be scoring from them. Everyone wants to throw the baby out with the bath water after a couple of defeats. The system has set records, no one has worked it out, our players have not been playing well and that is the issue.}

Complete rubbish about VVD. Everyone had a bad game.

Spot on, Ed. It the same old crap each time we don't win or play well or going thru a sticky patch. "We should have signed a no. 10", "We should have resigned Coutinho", "We are being found out" and all that mess. Found out by who? Same stuff got trotted out after we lost to Athletico, who scored a freak goal and parked the bus, as if we have a divine right to win every game. It's a joke man.

LFC have lost 3 out of the 43 games it has played this season. So who has found us out exactly? Nobody, that's who cos we have been playing this way for the past two years and yet each time we lose, it is cos we barely ever do.
We have lost 2 out of our last 66 PL game. TWO yet people are going off on us being sussed out and throwing the baby out with the bath water cos we did not win our 27th game out of 28 in the season.

We are in a slump and our boys are playing well. That is it, and nothing more so enuff of the "we have been found out" stuff cos IMO, it is just pointing fingers for no reason to find an excuse as to why we got beat by a great performance vs Watford. .
