saw this article on soccernet published today, talking about Liverpool's 4 latest signings namely Downing, Carroll, Henderson and Adam.
Liverpool's flawed four
http://soccernet.espn.go.com/columns...d-four?cc=4716
this particular paragraph caught my attention:
A focus on the strikers, however, obscures the fact the midfielders contribute too few goals. Between them, Downing, Henderson and Adam have five in 110 games this season, and one of those was a penalty. In contrast, the under-used Maxi Rodriguez has four in his limited opportunities and Raul Meireles, shunted out of the back door, managed five in half a season under Dalglish last year. That Downing, a £20 million winger, has neither scored nor created a league goal is an extraordinary embarrassment.
food for thought?
