My Views On the Current Situation of my beloved Liverpool FC

"We are unlucky", "Players were tired", "Refereeing decisions didnt go our way " ,"we deserved more from the match" , I'm sure these are the words that all Liverpool fans have been hearing for the past few weeks and i'm sure these are comments which irritates many Liverpool fans. Are these comments true? or these comments are the defaults one which comes to everyone's mind at Liverpool to hide their own shortcomings?
 If you see the current situation of our club, we have very much improved in so many areas on and off the pitch.
Outside the game we have acquired the biggest kit sponsorship deal in the history of English football with "Warriors Sports" which is worth about 25million every year which is higher than ManchesterUnited's current  Nike deal and our sponsorship deal with Standard Chartered is also the biggest deal sponsorship deal. We have signed some many other deals with many big brands. For me the only off-field issue that needs to be solved is the stadium issue. As our stadium capacity of 45,000 is making us less competitive in terms of matchday revenues against our rivals and with Financial Fairplay rules set to be implemented in the near future, it is essential to find out a solution whether to move to stanley park or redevelop Anfield. In my opinion it is better to redevelop Anfield because of its history and as the current plan of  60,000 seater stadium at Stanley park just adds about 15,000 extra seats. It is sensible to remain at  anfield as it is one of the most historic stadiums in the world and I'm not really sure if we can replicate the same  in the new stadium.There is so much at Anfield 'the kop stand ', 'This is Anfield plaque', 'Paisley and Shankly gates' etc.It is difficult for the fans to move away from them. I have read in some websites that Liverpool owners is also preferring to refurbish Anfield like the way they did at Fenway sports park but they are not getting  clearances for the rebuilding works from local authorities. If situation demands Liverpool to shift from Anfield then it is important to get a good naming rights partner and the stadium should have a capacity of at-least 70,000.
We have vastly improved our academy by buying many potential superstars in Jordan Ibe , Teixeira , Seji ojo,etc . The improvements in academy is clearly visible. Even today i read that we have signed a 16 year old midfielder named Dan Smith from crewe. It clearly shows that we are taking our academy very seriously.
We have also sold so many deadwoods in the first team squad this summer.We have significantly reduced our wage bill even-though we spent a lot in buying players. Our squad has been vastly improved this summer in comparison to last seasons squad. we have bought 7 players and sold many. In my opinion we bought too many midfielders , we should have bought a striker instead of anyone of our new midfield buys, if you want to win a game you need very good finishers otherwise you will be in trouble.If you take all the successful teams they will have some of the best strikers in their league. Our tranfers could have been better given the money we spent and I hope kenny will rectify his mistakes from the last window when we enter into this summer transfer window which is a really important one for the club. The main priority this summer should be to buy a striker.
The statements which i mentioned at the start might be true sometimes, but we have so many problems to solve ourselves before blaming it on the luck or the referees.
In my opinion these are the problems that Liverpool have
*Injury of Lucas Leiva: His injury is one of the main reason for our disappointing season, when he was there in the team our form had been really good .
*No fixed midfield combination: since the injury of Lucas we didnt have any fixed midfield combination. we had many different combinations in the field .This affected the stability of the team.
*Lack of goals(Strikers): We have the poorest goal conversion ratio in the league , one good thing is that we are creating so many chances but the important thing is to finish off the chances that are being created.
There is very little coming from the midfield in terms of goals , this is another area of concern . There  are not   enough bodies thrown in the opposition box when we are attacking.
*Lack of substitutions: Kenny is taking so much time to make a substitution, when the game is not going in our way he should be making some early substitutions to turn the game. But he is making the substitution very late.
*Support for Suarez: There is very little support for suarez in attack .There is so much burden on him.He is creating so much but there should be someone who can link well with suarez and to finish of the chances. At times maxi does this job well , but his age has prevented him from being a long term solution. This summer Liverpool should buy some one who can work well with suarez.
    Apart from these problems there are so many positives to take.The attitude of the players is one of them , they are working really hard, the whole team is together every player is supporting and helping other players in all possible ways thanks to kennys man management skills.
This season our main priority now should be to win the FA cup, and to build the team for the next season by giving chances to academy players such as Suso, Sterling. But youngsters should also be handled carefully , as injuries at this stage can possibly ruin their careers. But they should be made to train with senior squads as this increases their confidence levels. At times chances should be given to them  towards the end of some matches against less physical oppositions like Sterlings introduction against Wigan.
I sincerely hope all the problems we faced this season are solved for the next season and Kenny gives us a cup double this season. I have hundred percent confidence in "King Kenny" that he will take us to great heights like the way he led our team in his previous spell .
