We have lost a player whose goals helped us outscore teams and mask our defensive deficiencies somewhat . No doubt Sturridge and Sterling will help do that this in certain games but we have some very real problems as a defensive unit and no longer have a world class player up top who can win us games on his own so it is paramount we fix the defensive issues otherwise it is going to be very long season. West Ham did not seriously have to work hard for any of their goals today and that is criminal. Genuinely think BR needs a helping hand with organising us defensively and we really have to look at getting Carra in
Agree until the last line, which is frankly boll0cks.
Its about players, if you have good players and the right players the problems get sorted by quality. We don't, we have a shocking keeper, Skrtel, who's pathetic most of the time, a 34 year old who's legs have gone and a genuine lack of true quality all over the pitch.
The only top quality player we have is Balotelli who's being used wrong and then Coutinho and Sterling who are potentially of a similar level. Lovren is a good player but isnt going to sort the shambles of a defence out on his own. Agger and Reina were stupidly released and no real quality was added to the side.
As I said all through out the summer, we should have improved the first 11. But what would I know, Rodgers obviously knows best signing sh*t like Moreno...
To say I'm annoyed is an understatement.
