Thankfully, Reina, Maxi, and Ngog quickly combined for a wonderful break, and at 3-0 it really was game over, where Liverpool could comfortably take the foot off the gas.<br /><br />Admittedly, it worked, so it's a small complaint, but just once, I'd like to see Liverpool go for the throat this season.natehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10043601945557998732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33779660.post-55565749499720413472010-12-07T04:40:38.101-05:002010-12-07T04:40:38.101-05:00The tantalizing thing about this season is that a ...The tantalizing thing about this season is that a good run of form could see just about anyone scale the table.<br /><br />This next game is an enormous test of Hodgson's ability to adapt: if he can't come up with a plan to attack a Newcastle side in utter turmoil, then he is hopeless. The rest of the month reads like a granted wishlist: dead rubber against Utrecht (chance for Kuyt to get back on song), hapless travellers Fulham* at Anfield, revenge match at Blackpool, and awful awful Wolves at home, before two very important looking local matches home to Bolton and away to Blackburn.<br /><br />So many ifs I don't even want to go into them, but there's every chance of hitting the transfer window on a very good run of form, if we just do a job each time out. Taking it to Toon (where we have produced some glorious displays in recent seasons) is a must.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />* leave the easy one aside, ladsdrewnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33779660.post-65882723764714092532010-12-07T01:13:07.969-05:002010-12-07T01:13:07.969-05:00glad to be continuously proven wrong about ngog, a...glad to be continuously proven wrong about ngog, and proven right about lucas. Also glad that Babel got some time at striker, where I think he could become pretty dangerous as a speedster / poacher, especially as someone to spell Torres.maxooohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08327966590105285728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33779660.post-18174709731370416422010-12-06T21:50:03.427-05:002010-12-06T21:50:03.427-05:00Anonymous has a point.

At that stage of the game, I think it reflects shrewd management.

With our current playstyle, the RM pinches in a fair bit and is on the ball quite a lot. Seems to me that Roy is more likely to continue with our current 442/4222 than switch back to 4231. On current form especially, Kuyt warrants some time out with someone like Gerrard or Maxi coming in on the right, maybe Babel on the left?Joelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33779660.post-92183202195492726982010-12-06T18:59:12.699-05:002010-12-06T18:59:12.699-05:00To be fair, you hardly expect Hodgson to be shouti...To be fair, you hardly expect Hodgson to be shouting to get men forward just before half-time when a Villa goal can change the game.
