Great Podcast as usual, but its a bit worrying the way the lads seemed o.k with Sturridge not passing to let Shelvey in for a tap in. I don’t buy this crap that strikers are greedy and need to be. Last week against Everton there was a similar opportunity and he did the same and that decision cost us there and it will always cost us in big games. Its a team sport, the best teams play like a team. It will cost us in the long run
What Thomas said.
It’s not ‘greedy’ trying to get a goal, when the easy pass creates an assists. It’s stupid. The player is clearly not fit to make the right decision. That should be fixed by the coach. If the pass is not that easy or just not that obvious, i don’t mind what you do. But that shot sunday was terrible and he should be screamed at. Sadly i don’t think Rodgers is that kinda coach.
Atleast he shold go for the near post shot and try to use the easy pass as a decoy. That shot was just so bad. He had a great game though.
How did no one nominate the house on Alamo Square, San Francisco in “Full House” in the opening question? Far more palatial than the Manhattan contenders. Plus, there’s Uncle Jesse and his famous cartoon voices. .
I don’t get how nobody nominated the Huxtable House from The Cosby Show. It’s a sick Greystone in Brooklyn Heights or the Drummond Penthouse from Different Strokes. Or hell, the Mansion in the Beverly Hillbillies. They picking crap 1 bedrooms, I’m picking sick pads.
Good episode. Thanks lads.
Thomas – How many times has Suarez not passed to a teammate and opted to shoot when he shouldn’t have?
Every player in the league is guilty of it at some point. So let’s support our players when they’re doing well and not highlight every negative just because they came with a perceived bad attitude/greedy streak. 11 goals, 6 assists in 15 plus matches is phenomenal…FACT
Can we sterilize people who use the word ‘FACT’ as punctuation? Anyone fancy doing an e-petition?
bit concerning that you can write off shelvey he’s still on 20 years old and has shown (patches agreed but still) enough to persevere with him surely
Actually 21. Much too old now, send him to the scrap heap! No I agree Andy, he’s one of the promising youths that should be given time to develop- along with the likes of Suso, Sterling, Kelly, even Hendo.
I don’t think the midfield dilemma can be solved, unless a) a presence in midfield (in the Wanyama mould) is bought to alleviate Gerrard to play as a 1 ahead of a two that includes Lucas as a midfield trio and b) we buy a centre-half with genuine pace & bulk to play a high line efficiently
A front three of Suarez and Coutinho behind Sturridge looks exciting, almost in the same way that Mcmanaman and Maloney play behind Kone at Wigan. I believe you still could have defensive solidity with them 3 on the same pitch as long as you have the correct DM to compliment Lucas
Great discussion.
Agree selfishness from our strikers is a necessary trait at this point of time as our midfield team passing and shooting quality bar coutinho and sometimes gerrard is not consistent enough. I wouldn’t trust my midfield so much to score if I got a chance as a striker myself.
However suarez is too selfish as he really tries the outrageous and he doesn’t have the power technique for longer range shot. I can understand sturridge has cockiness that rubs off the wrong way with some of us but to slate him and not suarez in the same arguement smacks of personal vendetta than good for the team.
Once we have better midfielders bought in that can pass and shoot at a greater accuracy then BR can start to coach a more holistic team attacking mentality and perhaps punish strikers selfishness that cost the team to lose, draw or brought disharmony to team play.
