What worries me

5 conceded in our last 4 games; 4 from set-pieces. In those 4 games, we've scored 3. Gerrard (2) & Riise. In fact, the last time one of our orthodox strikers scored was Crouch on NY Eve

I've been worried about our strikers since before a ball was kicked in the premiership this season. I think our defending though will get back on track especially if we try to keep a settled back 4 of

On the defending I'm not too worried - we'll get that sorted.

 

On the strikers - could not agree more. I honestly think that with a Mido level player we would be much better as a side.

The form of Gerrard and Alonso has also dipped and Garcia has either been out injured or playing with an injury. That's 75% of probably our best midfield. I'm not saying there aren't gaping holes in our play because there are but we're going through a tough patch at the moment, that's all. The world isn't fall around us or anything. We are capable of picking up atleast 7 points in the remaining february league games and if we are in both cups at the end of the month it will have been a success. I keep saying it but we'll finish the season very strongly, of that I'm sure but we just need to squeeze past February without too much damage done.

Jeez, when that zonal marking goes wrong it looks awful, doesn't it. I know its worked great all season but today, for the first goal . It just shows the importance of a red shirt getting to the ball first.

 

The second goal was Warnock not watching the moves of Carra/Hyppia. It happens though. I remember the sage-like words of Rafa when we had gone 10 games without conceding. He was asked what it was like to have gone so many games without letting a goal in "It's ok, but we will concede again, that's for sure"

 

Or - as I would have put it "Yeah, but s*** happens"
