Ill start of by saying i expected a huge game from the boy's that started the game, but i was left very disappointed by their performance. I know its only pre season but that was a strong team out there. I know where still missing suarez, gerrard & meireles which they will make a massive difference when they come back, but i cant help feeling where still lacking any speed or creativity within the team except downing & henderson that started in this game. Our backline was in shambles in particular johnson. Charlie adams looked slow & off the pace & was letting players run past him the whole game. I thought henderson & downing played well. Carroll looked ok in patches. Kuyt offered nothing as usual & it was very fustrating watching him when he got into good positions & stuff up, but then again thats kuyt for you. Plz next time we spend 100 million we actually by some ATTACKING players with SPEED that can actually take someone on and a shoot & NOT WASTE MONEY by buying a slow players in positions we already have plenty off i e charlie adams & putting the money to positions we actually need like LB, CB, LW & striker . Please get rid of players like kyrgiakos,poulsen,cole,jovanovic,wilson, maxi,degen,el zahr,insua, & dirk kuyt that don't offer anything to the team. These players are on big wages that could be actually spent on bringing in good players that would actually make a difference to the team. Put all thoes players together & they wouldn't make one decent player but we still have them on our books wasting money. John w henry says he wants a top four finish which is understandable after spending 100 milllion, we probably could achieve that target if they play to their potential but everything else needs to fall into place like no injuries cause we dont have a big enough squad with qualith coming of the bench & hopefully some calls go our way from the refs.
