DURING the days when I was playing, Wimbledon used to get some ferocious criticism for the direct style they favoured.
Games were never pretty but at least you knew what was in store and you would try to find a way of coping with it. Last Sunday, though, I watched a team play possible the most amount of long balls I have ever seen.
It was ridiculous how many set plays Blackburn launched into Liverpool's penalty area and it was only when a subtle switch was made that saw Fernando Torres put pressure on Paul Robinson that we could deal with it.
MAN City are without doubt the biggest threat to our hopes of finishing fourth this season and it's a massive game at Eastlands tomorrow.
I think Aston Villa and Spurs will fall away in the race for Champions League qualification, but City have the firepower to keep pressing to the end.
I know City are a point clear of us with a game in hand, but I still think a draw would be a decent result for the Reds.
DAVID NGOG might prove in time that he can master the art of being a centre-forward.
It is often a thankless task being asked to assume the role of a lone frontman and even when I was in the prime of my career, there were times when I found it hard going.
But we saw at Arsenal on Wednesday night that, once again, playing Ngog in that position does not really add anything to Liverpool's team.
THERE are two days remaining of the transfer window and, unless we see a dramatic change, it will close without Liverpool doing any more business.
After Tuesday's listless display at Wolves, that is a huge concern. Liverpool are crying out for someone with pace or who can add a different goal threat and it is worrying we haven't been able to act.
I've no doubt Rafa Benitez would have loved to have got involved in some buying to go alongside his selling but, with Maxi Rodriguez the only addition to the fold, he is having to put a brave face.
ALL THE stories that came out regarding a dressing room bust up during half-time against Reading have been a good thing.
Whether it was trivial or whatever, something has gone on. I've seen it loads of times at various clubs.
For me, it's positive when things come to a head. It shows people care.
