It is going to be a big problem because of what Kenny means to the club, and maybe he isnt the problem, but he sure doesnt seem to be the solution.

He got a lot out of very little last season, but now it just isnt working. Maybe because the collection of players we have dont fit into the style hes trying to advocate, but no matter where you look money was spent and it was spent unwisely.

As much as I dislike scapegoating though, I do feel that the success of any elite team is directly linked to the quality of their central midfield. There has to be creative playmaking and ball moving ability in the midfield and Liverpool simply dont have it.

Stevie shows flashes every now and again, and playmaking isnt Adam's strong suit, Hendo should get a chance in there, but you can see that its a glaring weakness in the side.

The other thing is the obvious need for a striker who is going to score. It almost feels like everyone is trying to do too much and no one is doing the one thing that needs to be done. You need a selfish goalscorer who is going to say 'to hell with the rest of you, I'm putting the ball in the net.' See; Robin van Persie or Mario Gomez, that style of up front striking.

Suarez is good, but he plays off that guy as opposed to being that guy himself and I think thats what people were expecting of Carroll, but it hasnt materialized.
