Liverpool’s 11-match unbeaten run came to a disappointing end at Craven Cottage on Monday night, as a late goal from Clint Dempsey gave Fulham a 1-0 win. The Reds had already done more than enough to win the game despite being down to ten men after Jay Spearing’s dismissal and will be cursing their luck at coming away with nothing.
Jordan Henderson and Stewart Downing both hit the post, while Luis Suarez had a perfectly good goal disallowed for offside. As has been pointed out so many times this season, Liverpool simply have not been clinical enough in front of goal. Suarez has not scored a league goal since the beginning of October, while Andy Carroll, Craig Bellamy and Dirk Kuyt have just three between them.
Of the new signings, Charlie Adam only has only scored two times, one of which was a penalty, Henderson only once, and Downing is yet to open his account. What Kenny Dalglish really needs right now is someone who can stick the ball back in the net. A player who is in decent goalscoring form. And he has one sitting on the bench almost every week.
That man is Maxi Rodriguez. The Argentine midfielder ended last season in excellent form, scoring seven goals in his last four games of the campaign. So far during 2011-12, he has made just one league start, in which he scored away at Chelsea, and one substitute appearance.

Maxi could try growing a ponytail and a beard. Then he could put on 4 stone in weight and fall over a lot. Seems to work with the donkey, Carroll.
Maxi scores because he is one of the few lv player who knows that you have a beter chance to score in the 16 yard area that outside. Johnson score against Clse because he drove the ball into 18 box before hitting the ball, had he shooted while outside, chances are he could have missed , hit the bar and the the reason we Lp is hitting the bar so mant times is that most of our player do not get into the box, I do not know is they are playing accord to KD instruction. But whatever the case, the fact that KD is not changing the situation shows that to be at top 4 team we also need to strengthen the coaching team. The owners can make avail $300m but without an able manager you will buy overpriced players who does not fit in you team , spend the season blaming luck or match officials
and only come close to achieving something of value. Facts on the ground seems to show that LP manager is not amoung the best, given $135 million to spend but still fail to beat small teams. Have you noticed that all players who were at Liverpool and those who were at big clubs have never said anything that support that KD is a good manager, Carr mentioned that the current manager does not work on tactics… To successfull manage a bib club you have to have a lot of traits, especially to read the game, KD has never changed the formation mid-way to win any game. But the problem is KD thinks he able, he can win with anyone so he selects the players that he prefers leaving better players. This is only my opinion but I think at least 3/4 of the managers in PL are enjoying a better return to investment that Liverpool manager.
kenny is foolish to leave maxi on bench and we are losing becoz of this .doesnt stupid queen kenny see this.dont care wat other fellaz will say.but kenny is making bad decisions which are killing team.yes he is legend but no ways he must wake up in january and buy xaqhiri,ramirez,eduardo vargas,hummels and we are on a roll.
