Surely questions have to be asked of a manager who wastes £60m on a strike force, and then ends up with the problem that you cite??.... 
Questions are asked, nosey around Liverpool forums and you'll see many fans questioning players and their performances. Many watch us create a lot and just hope it will all come together, i.e. if we keep creating, they'll eventually fly in. At the moment, we're creating so much because we're having to attack for 90 minutes because we aren't killing games, we'd create much less if we managed to get comfortable two or three goal leads.
For me, we lack composure and direction in our attacking play. In the past, we had Gerrard leading our midfield with Torres spearheading the attack, they gave us a direction, a focus and a style, at the moment, when we're desperate, we seem to knock it long and hope their defender misses the header. Every result like this really shows how poor a signing Carroll has been, he only played five minutes today but that speaks volumes about a player amazingly valued at £35m last January. Suarez is an amazing player with a superb natural game, but when he's asked to be a target man, a wide player, a support player and a worker, it really limits his effectiveness.
