Anfield

This is now starting to get extremely worrying, if you take all of our home draws this season:

Sunderland 1-1

Norwich 1-1

Mancs 1-1

Swansea 0-0

all four games have been eerily similar in how they've panned out. A bright start followed by our inability to convert the chances we make, go into half time frustrated but knowing we are in control of the game. Come out for the 2nd half and immediately we look clueless, opposition get their tails up, start to see massive gaps all over the park, opposition players allowed to run at the back 4 with ease up to the edge of our area. Midfield is non-existent, we start to look shaky at the back and loose our cool, then the opposition get their goal and for the last ten mins in all four games we start to play again and apply pressure. Only due to some brilliant saves by the goalkeeper and our inability to finish do we fail to nick a winner.

That pretty much describes all of the four games above and it is actually scary it follows the same pattern of play. There is something seriously wrong when we play at home and I can't quite figure out what it is. Is it Kenny's tactics, his ability to change his tactics or are certain players not fighting hard enough in the 2nd half of games and just simply going through the motions? This needs to be rectified soon or we can kiss the top 4 goodbye, the same mistakes are being made over and over again, Kenny and Clarke need to go away and analyze these four games in particular and work out why we go to s*** at the start of the 2nd half.

If we have any ambitions of getting back into the top 4 then Anfield needs to become a fortress, I just don't think the players we have at the moment have the mental strength to achieve this.
