It’s been a steady start to the season thus far, with some great passages of play in certain matches and a lack of creativity highlighted in others. The first half of the opening match against Sunderland highlighted some fluidity within our play reminiscent of the old days. Sterling performances against Bolton and even Stoke despite the loss have illustrated our return to playing “proper football,” something we have not seen since the introduction of Gerard Houllier. Certainly is refreshing to see, but there are still flaws.
Up front with Andy Carroll not fully firing yet, we lack a cutting edge. Luis Suarez is not an out and out striker in the mould of Fowler, Owen and Rush. He is more of a creative forward, someone who can create space, chances and chip in with his fair share of goals. Whilst we have until the end of the season to hopefully watch this strike force blossom, I still feel a forward with pace is required even with the timely arrival of Craig Bellamy.
This past Sunday also saw the timely return of captain marvel Steven Gerrard. There were some reservations of how the team may play and what the shape of the team would be like, but the Reds really took the game to United in the second half. Carroll and Bellamy were not even used and Jordan Henderson looked far more comfortable in a holding central role than he has done on the right-wing.

Charlie Adam passing ability of Alonso are you on drugs?.a burst of speed i think you might have took an overdose of speed. Adam can out sprint old man Rio wow!. so far the success has been Suarez and Enrique and to a smaller extent Bellamy when he has had his chance’s.other than that its been average all round.Joe cole would never have been a regular starter because Kenny did not want him. Personally i would push Glen johnson on to the right wing as he is quick strong has good crossing ability and would cover for Kelly’s marauding runs he can shoot a bit as well. i do agree we need an out and out striker like Higuain and Gomez
Hahah you are right about Adam there. I would also like to try out Johnson on the right wing. He can really make things happen. In january I hope we go for another CB (Cahill), a winger (A Johnson) and a striker (a really good finisher)
