The Joy of Liverpool FC

Boring, boring Scum

Rafa has created a team that can play a detailed flexible formation in Europe. Fergie hasn't had a clue in Europe since 1999. But the Scum are still a better organised Premiership side than we are.

On Sunday we stuck to a detailed game plan, that showed maturity and some degree of midfield flair. But all too often the final pass was lacking incisiveness and we lacked imagination. Pongolle is still too immature and, like Garcia is a lightweight when it comes to the more bruising matters.

But the real problem remains the frontline. Crouch is growing in stature (hopefully not in height!) and is showing he has a good touch. But we cannot sucker ourselves into thinking of him as an easy outlet. We need Hightower to be playing alongside someone who can use the space he creates. Cisse and Crouch has potential, let's see them paired up front for a couple of games.

(PS Warnock surprised me on Sunday - turns out he can play after all!)
