As Rafa said..."we are not creating enough clear-cut chances"

This is the crux of the problem. We lost vs Bolton because we did not create enough clear-cut chances. Ok the linesman fecked us over and we played better than bolton and certainly the scorline at the end of the match wasnt a just one BUT:

IF we really are true and genuine title challengers we should at least grasp a draw from such a match when the tide strongly turns against you. IMO although we were better than them, we weren't dangerous enough, and this can somewhat be reflected on our team again this season.

We take too many shots fron the 30 yard mark. Why?? That is an attribute of a team who can't penetrate the opposing defence.

Thus albiet being superiour we do not know how to be dangerous. Who s at fault?

It all boils down to one department on the pitch and that is WIDTH.

Finally this season in our squad we included out-and-out wingers in the form of Pennant and Gonzalez. Although it is too early in the season to decide if they are worthy of an LFC shirt or not, one can certainly comment on their performances thus far:

Pennant albeit showing flashes of real brilliance has been generally poor so far. we bought him to run at players, rip opposing full-backs apart and cross FROM BEHIND THE FUL-BACKS, a trait he has succeded in doing very little this season.

Gonzalez doesnt seem to have yet adapted to the Premiership and has played very little what has beeen said of pennant applies to him.

Thus we need these two to hit peak form soon, then perhaps we can start seeing the real LFC of the year 2006-2007.

If they are already at peak form and ability-wise they can t improve their game, we r in for another season hoping for that third / fourth place in the Premiership.
