Are we fucked if..

[Guest LFD]

I think we can cope more without Gerrard, because we have depth in centre midfield and good players in Henderson, Adam, Meireles etc.

 

But Suarez is our cutting edge, he really gives our side something totally different upfront and in the final third, with his ability to create chance after chance.

 

We really need Suarez to stay fit this season if we want to challenge for the title. Hopefully next summer we can buy a Hazard or Mata type player to cope better if he gets injured.

Totally agree, Suarez has to stay fit, he's the type of player to stay fit but with his summer been as busy as it has been it is certainly a concern how vital he is going to be to making our season tick.

Have to agree as well. However, signing a player like Hugo Rodellaga (for something like £9m) would go some way to lessen the burden on Suárez in the final third to provide some pace, trickery, and a goal threat. We desperately need a reliable third option in attack, a player with pace...

[redsoxs]

Why all the crying? we've still got Kuyt & Ngog!!!

[LFC64]

Suarez and Gerrard are injured? Seriously, where's the goalscoring creativity? And with our current defence we look seriously fucking weak right now.

 

a lot more than we had 6 months ago when all we had was an injured apathetic Torres and an injured Gerrard.

 

Now take Suarez and Gerrard out of the side and we're left with Carroll, Downing, Henderson, Adam. Not bad for 6 months considering we were supposed to be going the way of Leeds according to some

Yeah and now we wont rely on a couple of players as we showed at the end of last season. Two very big players for us and i hope they don't get injured and be out for any period of time.

[RafaLaBamba]

Downing and Adam should help creatively, but yes it is a worry. Suarez gives us something special in the final third and Gerrard, despite his injuries, is still our talisman. A lack of pace and guile, as well as mediocre centre backs, may be our downfall this season. Godin and Perriera would pretty much address the issues which I have just stated so I am hoping that we can pull off a miracle by signing the pair. Unlikely I know, but we can still dream.

[JaminKibbler]

Suarez is the ultimate flair player but we should be fine for this season, we all know what Adam and Gerrard can do and they can be very very useful. Players like Downing, Kuyt, Henderson and even Lucas are capable of being a creative force for us if needed. Towards the end of the season Lucas was picking out so beautiful passes so there's no reason to worry. More flair players would be ideal but i'm happy with who we've got and who we can possibly attract next summer.

Downing and Kuyt have proved they can score goals and create them. Henderrson did it in fits and bursts for Sunderland.

 

Lucas can't score goals and creates none either. He never has. He never will. So, please, behave.

He isn't exactly Pele but he can create goals when he's on form, (and he can do that brilliantly on his day.) and even score from time to time. People give him too much shit. I really hope that you, Code and anyone else ripping him are eating some humble pie by the time the season is over.

[Red Phoenix]

On his day. Cut him some slack.

I'm hoping that some day, the voices berating Lucas will be outnumbered by the fans who support him and the team. As strange as it might sound, we have been known to cope without Gerrard. Not something we could have said two or three years ago. We worry a little bit less when he's out injured. Suarez, however, is a different matter. There are very very few players quite like him in the league in my opinion.

[Red_Scorpio]

We should be OK without Stevie, cause there's enough cover in that midfield department, and the lads weren't doing too bad without him when he was out injured.

 

Suarez is a total different kettle of fish, and I don't even want to go there. All I can add to that is, that he's name should be the first on the team sheet at all times, when fit.

 

That being said, I don't think we'll have to wait too long to find out, cause Suarez might not start against Sunderland, because of his Copa America involvement.

 

I just hope we get him back in the side, asap.

[Red Nick]

if they both play 90% of the PL games we win the title, and then you work your way downwards and if they both only played 25% of the PL game we wouldnt make the top 4

 

It why it has been vital to get one other player who can do what those two can do.

[RedKnight]

The Sunderland game will be fun with no Suarez or Gerrard.

[Section_31]

We won't win the title Nick even if they're both in the form of their lives, nor will it be relegation time if they're injured. It's a team thing with Liverpool now, gone are the days when we depended on individuals. Our goals under Kenny in the last half of the season were increasingly team goals, they were crafted with football, with having men in the box playing slick one-two stuff, not through relying on one or two players to beat three people and score.

 

I think people are underestimating how many of our young players will be getting games this season too. Dalglish is a pragmatist and I genuinely get the feeling this could be one of those 'you don't win anything with kids' seasons.

[Red Nick]

we nearly won the title with two star players and would have done if the manager hadnt screwed it up

Here we fucking go again.

Have I missed some injury news?

Why won't Suarez play against Sunderland?

[KopOut]

I'm not gonna panic just yet, but if we don't thrash Valarenga with stars returning for the game, then yeah...time to hit the panic button.

 

oh yeah..& PEPE for captain !
