This past weekend saw Liverpool goal-less tie with Premier League bottom feeders Reading. The amount of chances that were thrown Liverpool's way were in great abundance, and all credit goes to the Reading keeper. I do not know if our shots are that bad; or does it seem that the opposing goalkeeper has the game of his season when playing Liverpool? Maybe it's a mixture of both.
Once again, it comes down to consistency. Liverpool is living up to the "consistently inconsistent" label. I also have to agree with Soccernet.com's Liverpool blogger Kristian Walsh in his most recent post saying that Liverpool "lack ruthlessness." Here's a link to that post... http://espnfc.com/blog/_/name/liverpool/id/866?cc=5901
Over the past few seasons, Liverpool have changed. I know that seems very simplistic, but there doesn't seem to be a better way to describe it. Unfortunately that change has been for the worse. Brendan Rodgers is doing his best to reverse the negativity that seems to be hovering over the club, but changes like that take time. So many supporters are accustomed to Liverpool being a power club that stays in the top ranks of the Premier League. For the time being, those days are gone, and people just need to accept that. After seeing the methods and style of coaching from Rodgers, I'm a believer he will be the one to take Liverpool back to the "good ol' days."
