I think part or all of our problems stem from our failings in our back four an keeper. The natural thing to do when u are shipping more goals than Manchester has inbreds is to drop back deeper an deeper until you are defending nearly on top of your keeper. This invariably leads to midfield dropping off too an all of a sudden it's engrained in the players minds to be more defensive than they should and not going out and expressing themselves and imposing themselves on the game.
It's no secret that you get your rewards for flooding the oppositions box and benefitting from deflections and fouls in an around the penalty area. How many times have seen the manc bastards scoring deflected goals and getting most of the decisions , it's not rocket science. That's how they are running away with league with one of their worst teams in recent years.
I'm not too inclined in singling anyone out for our failings but it just seems like half our starting team have no balls and are afraid of making mistakes. We need to be signing more players who actually have a belief and confidence in what they are doing .
Can't rely on carra stevie and suarez forever.
Last note , the return leg could be carra's last ever European game to play in
So lets hope anfield is fucking rocking an we will show the russkies a fucking atmosphere !
