Liverpool's main problem last year was that they were toothless in attack. Getting into good positions and just fucking it up. You can talk about being unlucky and about how they were the team who hit the post the most times in the Premiership but if you're shit at finishing, it really shouldn't come as any surprise.
Goofy needs eight good chances for every goal he scores and all the talk is about how they need another striker to work with him.
However, the main problem this year is that two of their defensive giants, Skrtel and Reina have been fucking piss poor. Reina has gifted three goals that any Sunday League keeper would have been ashamed to let in. I don't even have to highlight Skrtel's fuck ups but I've just watched the second half of last week's Liverpool / City game and, even leaving aside Skrtel's fuck up for the second goal, either Reina or Skrtel want fucking for the first one. Reina came out to claim the ball and should have blasted Skrtel's eardrums shouting for the ball. If he did do that, then Skrtel wants fucking with a big stick for still attempting to head the ball (I think he even got a nick on it, let alone just putting the keeper off).
Those two players, plus the fact that they've played three or four different left backs already this season tells the story.
