liverpool has lost. not exactly very sia suay this time round,
considering how they battle during the last 20 minutes.
but what i seriously dont understand is that why do they always
begin to perform only when they are trailing? can't they fight more
aggressively consistently?
anyway, i aint too upset with this result. not that it is deserving
with quite a number of contraversial decisions from both referee
and linesmen, but at least it lives up to what is expected of such
big game.
now for team and tactical analysis.
i still miss the hyypia and henchoz combination. carragher simply
aint commanding enough to be a centre back yet. his no-nonsense
attitude is high-regarded but only when he is playing
right-back.
riise no longer fits into the team, from my point of view. without
a pair of stable centre backs, his style of overlapping the
midfielder cannot come useful given that he needs to backtrack on
wingers.
as for the midfielders, what i would suggest is to throw kewell,
hamman, gerrard, alonso and garcia on an island for a couple of
months. make them eat, sh|t and mate with one another to enhance
their understanding among themselves.
i cant rate the strike forces much because they didnt get to
perform much.
what liverpool needs is to have 5 proper team
players who knows how to pass among one another in the
opponent's half.
