I watched them against my home town of Carlisle recently. I would have sacked the manager on that showing alone.
As a manager you are expected to be able to look at a performance and change it if things arent going right. Well here are the facts from that match
Liverpool had over 40 shots at goal
Liverpool had about 70% posession
Liverpool didnt make the Carlisle keeper pull off more than a couple of good saves
Liverpool put the ball into the stands when shooting from 90% of their shots
So lets take it that they had 20 shots in the first half and scored 1 (Conceded 1 too). Out of 19 shots they didnt make the keeper work at all. ANY MANGER worth his salt would realise that they needed to carry on doing what they were doing BUT ask the players to stop going for hollywood shots. Instead of top corner 25yrd curlers/blasts from coutinho & Caan, get them to hit them low and bouncing in front of the keeper. They had another 20 shots in the second half. You are not telling me they wouldnt get one or two rebounds with simple goals to come from them.
I spent the entire second half watching the Kop end catching the ball
