Some shocking recent stats when the Reds face ‘easier’ teams

|

Today, Liverpool play host to Premier League newcomers Norwich City. The Canaries have won three out of their last four games, but the home side will go into this game as heavy favourites. It is crucially important that Dalglish hammers home the message that Norwich must not be underestimated.

It should be a comfortable victory for Liverpool, but as has been shown in recent months, the ‘easier’ games have often proved trickier than first anticipated. This is the kind of fixture that the other sides challenging for the top four, the likes of Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal, regularly win, and Liverpool must match them if they are to keep pace.

If the Reds show the same kind of commitment and attacking energy they displayed in the second half against United last weekend, then they should rack up a commanding scoreline. Hopefully, Liverpool will begin to consistently win these games that they are expected to, which will help to make them a stronger force in the Premier League and should go a long way to help securing Champions League football for next season.

I am currently studying Sports Journalism at the University of Central Lancashire. I have recently finished my first year of the course, and I am hoping to hone my skills by writing pieces for live4liverpool.

I have supported Liverpool since the age of 6, and in that time my favourite player has been Robbie Fowler. My favourite match was the 2005 Champions League final against AC Milan.

    It wasn’t being unlucky against ManU. It was simply not having anyone capable of finishing! We need a first rate international striker to partner Suarez.Carroll is not up to it. It is as simple as that.

    I fully agree. These ‘smaller’ games a crucial. But I feel that most of the points we dropped against smaller teams was because of limited options in the squad. We now have options in Bellamy, Caroll, Henderson, Maxi to come from the bench and make in impact.

    Besides having the option to change players it is a mentality thing. Something which needs to grow within a squad. Something which might take several years. Just look at Manchester United.

    Very true article in hindsight although I don’t think you can classify the reds under kenny as the same as the reds under Roy think you should have just concentrated on kennys games you could still raise the same point. And chambers typical Carroll bashing there using our lack of killer instinct against united to have a pop at a player you don’t like WHO NEVER EVEN GOT ON THE PITCH haha funny! Hope one day you fans turn into supporters then more of our players can stop playing like they’re scared to make a mistake.
