Anfield Curse

As I am watching replay of today's home match against Blackburn, I am trying to understand how the team with so much possession, so many shots and playing home with the best supporters ever manages another draw at home? This is 6 for us this year in a row. Our failures are though a mystery for me and many other fans. Let's start with El Pistoleto. He is very good, it was obvious from today's game- he creates a lot of chances and does amazing tricks but he also hits the bar and misses plenty. He has the skills and he has the ability- it's clear from his performances for National Team, Ajax and Liverpool is Cup games. But something isn't right when it comes to weekly games in EPL. Why? I think because he needs someone like Bellamy and Kuyt playing along instead of Carroll. The English International just does not cut it. Also, Suarez has a lot on his mind and takes abuse more than others. I think, if the ban is not lifted then he should just treat it as good break ad opportunity to start over fresh with clean mind and the goals will come.

Next one is Downing. He is clearly good- but can't find the target. Again, not clear why? Can the expectation put pressure on him? But then again, if you are playing for major club like Liverpool, you should know that the expectations never go away. So he needs just to get over it and start getting results.

Henderson- OK but not very impressive, I like the youngster and I think he has it to get better. But we are running out of time so he really needs to step it up.

Adam, I know Daglish loves him but I think he is very average. He has the passes and he can create chances but I think if you compare him with our skipper, Adam has a long way to go and if Gerra is back in form, I would like to see him starting.

I also think that players such as Kuyt, Bellamy and Maxi have proven being very good and I hope we will see more of them in action and they can really deliver in hard situations and create chances for others. I know Kenny wants to show that money we spent were worth it (and in most of cases they were) but I think these players should be given many more chances.

Overall I think though, we have some jinx over- everyone expects Liverpool do better then ever, and I think this puts unnecessary pressure on all players. But if we can get over this, and start really just playing and enjoying football, I think we can come stronger and better than ever. So let's see what the next big game brings.... YNWA
