GingerCollins29 Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 We put so many crosses towards the box yet i believe the only player in midfirld or upfront with any kind of height is kamara. Ridiculous 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyp Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Bit left field and we are getting into the territory about it been difficult to get a striker in the door . Ben Brereton Diaz ? I think he’s very talented with huge room for improvement. West Ham been looking at him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a good mate who’s a Blackburn fan who thinks he’s a firm flash in the pan - six good months in the last four years. I haven’t seen enough to comment myself.

Its not the squad, its the manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 It's actually both, Gerrard should be doing better with the squad, but also the squad isn't good enough to get us where we want to be, people get naive over players like Sanson and even Luiz as a No.8 and think that they're going to solve our midfield problems, or that in attack Ings and Watkins are going to suddenly improve, or that Archer is the answer, if we want a squad good enough to challenge top seven we need at least another two players one in midfield and one in attack, and can't be just any players either, should be players that are a genuine upgrade on what we already have in their positions. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is, they should have been secured pre season. If we continue to serve up these results/performances they’re not going to want to come either this window or the next.

This is spot on. Other teams fans don’t think our squad is great. Think it’s just delusion from the price tags we’ve paid for players to be honest. We’re short of a quality CB, CM and ST for us to be pushing into the top 10. The most worrying part of that is that it is the spine of the team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Do not sign any more players without getting ones out the door. Gerrard has enough to work with in the immediate future to achieve the goals already in place. Do not chuck more money at this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awol Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Bugger. I thought Sangare as a 6 and moving Kamara to an 8 might solve the midfield issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what we're saying is that Dean did a brilliant job in his last full season, and paid a dear price for over performance when there was a reversion to the mean?

Currently the biggest positive we have is that Gerrard can bring better players to the table. It's whether or not he knows how to get them playing. We're either left with the current setup finally getting him team to play well, or we're left with a very good squad on paper which should be more attractive to bring in the next manager.
