Do Liverpool have the best defence in the league now?
We are not parking the bus, but we managed to concede only 2 goals in the last 7 games. The zonal marking system seems to be working now. Since Johnson got injured, Carragher has been doing great as a Right Back. Just that we need to sharpen the attack now.
Chelsea have a good defence too.
@ Alex….. thanx for the laugh…. they do need a better attack now.
Just a point of interest - Liverpool concede far fewer goals when Johnson is not around. Johnson is fantastic at getting forward - very tricky with a good delivery and a decent shot on him, but rather hopeless in his positioning which has cost Liverpool and England dear at times.
Liverpool’s defence functioned better with a much more defensive Arbeloa, whose defensive effectiveness allowed your two defensive midfielders to remain much more central, particularly Alonso, allowing them to dictate the play more effectively than when Johnson is constantly bombing forward without getting back. Alonso was a huge loss, but I think that the loss of Arbeloa has upset the team’s balance more profoundly. Now that you have a more defensive player at right back again, suddenly your defence is shipping fewer goals.
