Yakka I know what you are saying but to suggest he is a liability against better teams is fkg ridiculous !! He's human, he makes mistakes but he also produces moments of phenomenal ability and if you think we would have been better without him today then that's your opinion which of course you are entitled to. Forgive me but I think you are talking bollux

he`s a liability mate, god knows how many times he gave it away in the first half. we have got players in that team who are in there for no other reason other than they can run and try to do some of the work he doesnt do. worse than that he tries to justify his place in the team by spraying 40 and 50 yard balls all over the place (when a 10 yard ball would do) which just gives the ball back to the opposition cheaply.
lucas isnt the answer either, it`s been near 3 years now since he got that injury away at chelsea and we have to face the fact that he`s not the same player anymore. we just generally lack athleticism and dynamism in our engine room and that was highlighted by barkleys and mccarthys energetic performances today, they just over ran us.
for most of the game suarez was isolated up front on his own.
gerrards free kicks are excellent but if we are going to build a team around that tactic why get rid of andy carroll?
the whole midfield needs a clear out, it`s obvious that they arent good enough especially when we come up against the better sides in this division, if we did qualify for the champions league the likes of bayern and barcelona would decimate us.
there were rumours that M`Vila was in our end watching the game today, dont know much about him but if he`s a CM he cant be any worse than what we`ve got.
the midfield of ours is going to cost us a top 4 place, we wont win enough points from the better sides
