What's happening Liverpool!?

With the 2-0 loss to Newcastle the Carling Cup winners Liverpool look in real strife more than ever, it was gaining but with Keeper Pepe Reina's incredibly childish sendoff and 35million pound boy Andy Carrol's f-bomb rant towards manager Kenny Daglish the cracks were there for all to see.



They are wobbling at 8th even below fierce rivals Everton (who haven't spent on a player since the dark ages) and below Newcastle who have now got a nearly impeachable lead.  Where did it all go wrong?  This writer still thinks that they will win the FA cup mind but what are they missing?

Torres for 50 mil was a great deal whichever way you look at it, because he had been out of form for a year when he moved to Chelsea although he looked back to the Torres of old.  Then he left.  Carroll, Suarez et al were brought in.  Carroll unfortunately has been a flop, and as solid as the new owners have been even they're starting to look shaky (the Red Sox are in their worst position in 5 years).  Liverpool's style of play does not suit Carroll but he hasn't been the biggest impediment.



Luis Suarez in pure playing wise has been a revelation, scoring goals creating chances and annoying opposition teams.  But then there is the fact that on the pitch he is an absolutely poor character.  First racist towards Evra, (whichever way you put it he shouldn't have said it) then that farcical shirt business by Liverpool then refusing to shake Evras hand after promising too.  Making the whole club, one of the greatest Football clubs in the world a laughing stock.  Not to mention the 9 games he missed.  He has arguably brought more baggage in trouble than that he's lifted with his play. King Kenny needs to lay down the law to his players, win the FA Cup, recruit well over summer and look towards Champions league qualification next season.  Anything less is unacceptable.  Trade Carroll?  either he falls into line or get what you can for him 10-15mil would be a good result.
