Suarez also has level the top scorer for BPL era (38 games). Can't believe only Ronaldo and Shearer are the other 2 who have scored 31 goals in a season. Just wonder how many of those goals they scored are from penalties? And to think that Henry only hit 30 once?! :vijayadmin:

I also don't think there's anything wrong with what Rodgers said. Comparing our game play under Rodgers and houllier benitez or hodgeson, we have certainly been playing much better football. Attacking is our brand of football now, just the defense have to stop letting the team down.

Towards the end of Match, suarez even ran all the way back to help with defense during their counter. Where is Glen Johnson? Carragher is right, our defense lack a leader to bark orders and organise the backline.

At our height from benitez era,we played discipline football and excellent counter attack. I am not sure how better u meant, or branding. Beating Madrid, Barcelona and the other big teams back then was certainly our best branding back then

Which brings back to some of our friends say about the Liverpool way. Winning games and playing attractive football is important but defence is equally important. I just felt that this season we lack the balance, and I am sure BR will look into it next season.

Under Benitez the defense was solid but the attack was not as good as under BR. Under BR we only have 2 games which we didn't score.

im going to give BR the benefit of doubt that he did not have the funds to buy the defenders he wanted,thus having to resort to siging one old central back on a free and loan one wingback.

but if the window opens again, i expect some really good defence signings..especially central and right. the right flank and the "right" side of the central back is so bad cos thats where the bulk of the problem is.

flanagan,sakho has pretty good partnership on the left flank and "left" of the central backs.

Brendan and the team have made great strides from last year. Brendan would be able to improve the team further during the coming window.

Getting so close and still with outside chance at the final game is an incredible achievement. The fast lady hadn't started warming up so there still a chance.

Champions don't give up.

Skrtel scored alot of important goals for us but his defending is suspect. Johnson has outstayed his welcome dunno if kelly can step up.

Even though our attack has been good we still need to improve the depth as next season we have more games to play.

Except for 08/09 season our points closer to title holder, rest some way off even we managed top 4. Rafa did well in Europe competition, some really good results against the giants. Current BPL competition getting tougher compare to last time. BR still unproven in Europe stage and he will be given chance next season. Hopefully with some good quality re-enforcement, we can see how far we can go after missing CL for quite some time.

1st time BR manage a team in europe. Dunno if hes going to change the style or stick to his swashbuckling style.

with CL next season and if BR cant get all the targets he wants, kelly,texeira,wisdom,ibe,alberto,suso,assaidi,borini might be used to play FA/league cup games. that is good to build some experience.

In these 2 legs and knock out competition against europe top sides, think Br must adjust his approach or tactics. Need to juggle between domestic cups and europe, selection of players as well. Huge test for him. Really need to sort this defensive woes out before the season start. Hope this summer he can buy the right players he want and fix the missing pieces. Yes even at the expense of selling some servants we may feel sad to go. Also owner must back him up too.
