Few weeks back I done a comparison after 20 games, so thought will do it again after 30.
Last season after 30 games played:
65 points scored 82 conceded 38 Sitting strong in second place.
This season :
54 points scored 44 conceded 32 Sitting in disappointed fifth place.
As I posted then, our defence is not great, but its not the reason for our decline from last year, its the lack of goal scoring up front. (and no I am not expecting 82 goals, but we should do a bit better than 52% of what we scored last year)

Sold the best striker in the world and signed Balotelli and Rickie Lambert. That pretty much sums up where we are as a club at the minute. The fingers should be pointed at everyone who let this happen, this committee,, and everyone on it.
Or was it Raheem Sterlings fault ?

He should be getting the sack for that alone, DBol. Or may be his apologists will excuse him by saying he lost both strikers yet did NOTHING to adequately replace them after rejecting Remy, Lacazette, Bony and many others (Per Ed01) and ended up with Lambo and Balo.

Roy mate.
A lot of us on here questioned where the goals were going to come from once Suarez was sold.
A few even mentioned Sturidges injury record, and God forbid if he gets injured??
As they say the rest is history.
So what do a few fans on this site know??
it seems more than the transfer comitee, who replaced all those missing goals with. ? Strikers that aren't good enough. Period 😡😡😡😡😡

well said Phooey, and to replace the best striker in the premiership with two strikers who do NOT fit our style, only shows were we will finish this season, and maybe next, not in the top four and no cup-final, this is what we can all see, what do this so called transfer committee see .

So a goal difference last season of +44 comapred with +12 this season? That is pretty stark - the failure to buy a quality replacement for Suarez is going to cost Rodgers dearly.

yes and it will cost him his job, because when we finish 5/6th and dumped out of FA Cup, the fans and media will turn on him, giving our owners no choice but to replace him .
