Lucas's absence has seen Adam nosedive,whenever Adam was dispossessed,out of position or misplaced a pass etc Lucas covered & a lot of his flaws were overlooked.
Adam anywhere near our penalty area is a liability,so many cheap fouls conceded it beggars belief.
He is out of form,he doesn't merit a start right now.

It was as if the lads on the coach to the reebok shared a joint or two,fuck we were sloppy from the kick off.

I dunno,frustrated & angry,i have never ever left the ground or switched the reds off before the final whistle went but i had twitchy fingers today-that itself shows how bad we were.

If Andy Carroll scores 10 league goals in a red shirt i'll show my arse in the Lisbon.

Confidence shot & thats why the passing & moving is awry too.

The real problem is: we didn't require wholesale changes to the team after some very good showing towards the end of last season. Why replace the core with Adam, Downing and Hendo? We just needed to ease one or two players and let them adapt to the Liverpool system instead of making wholesale changes which then creates another system for the existing players to adapt to.

Yes, and we do miss Lucas a lot!

I wouldn't have said it at the time because I thought we had the quality not to replace him, but at least plug a few holes. We just don't seem to have anyone in our team that can be a DM, not even close to one.

That's the thing I would count Spearing as a decent replacement, but after having been sent off and then injured, there really isn't anyone. I know teams get injuries but we should have someone, anyone other than Lucas and Spearing to be a DM,

Apparently i was mad to say we needed to buy a back-up defensive midfielder in the summer. Adams good enough to cover if anything happens to Lucas i was told, makes me wonder about how delusional some people are when it comes to defending their favourite players and people. Some will go as far as chatting complete and utter bullshit to back the choices of people at the club and question anyone who doesn't follow suit

Utterly ridiculous, why do we never see what is staring us right in the face but other clubs can in an instant

Agreed. Without a true DM, we compensate by putting Adam and Gerrard both back. Waste of Gerrard who really should be a lot further up the pitch while Adam could just be replaced by someone who can actually fill that spot properly.

The second goal we conceded was abysmal. There was a moment in first half when Ngog dropped off from our centrebacks and there was a massive amount of space between them and the midfield. If we aren't going to get another midfielder in now, we have to play 3 centrally.

You know how sometimes players become a bit overrated as a result of being unavailable. Cleverly for example, perhaps even Agger. This really isn't that. Our midfield is a lot poorer without him, and a complete mess without Spearing as well. Defensively and attacking. He doesn't have the flashy passing that Adam provides on rare occasion, but he gets the ball to a player in a dangerous position quickly, and he puts it on their foot. He plays in a position where inexperience and inability really does cost you

"Lucas improves every passing game"

So many meanings, all of them true.

If Adam plays well, then Gerrard can concentrate on being a proper "first wheel". He most certainly have the skills to do it. The problem is/was that this was Bolton. You don't want Gerrard, of all people, to be your dedicated DM/first wheel vs Bolton. And he wasn't. Whenever he sorta felt the urge to be it, he did with his usual enthusiasm.

To me, maybe Adam can do an okayish job covering, so to speak, for Lucas, when he's at his best (Adam, that is). But, on current form, which may be closer to his real, consistent ability, he sucks donkey dick as a covering or withdrawn midfielder. On top of all that, he also has that "I am tough mofo, you all, including the ref, are softies" wanker attitude. One cal lip-read him telling the ref "I didn't touch him" and then watch the replay and be embarrassed.

It's not as if Spearing is really a shoe-in understudy, but he's the best option when available. Hendo will probably be able to be the 'first wheel' when he's 25, also. At the moment, he's imitating his good buddy Johnson in being crap defensively.

Life without him in midfield means we just don't have a midfield. A passing is nowhere near as crisp and the holes are just glaringly obvious.
