But if he wants to cut down on the number of goals his team conceded from set-pieces last season then it’s not individuals he should be concerned with – it’s tactics. http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/liverpool-fc/liverpool-fc-columnists/mark-lawrenson-column/2008/05/13/mark-lawrenson-sort-anfield-mess-or-risk-star-loss-64375-20899795/ Mon, 12 May 2008 23:00:00 GMT http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/liverpool-fc/liverpool-fc-columnists/mark-lawrenson-column/2008/05/13/mark-lawrenson-sort-anfield-mess-or-risk-star-loss-64375-20899795/ EVERYONE knows the line by now: Liverpool need to sort out their mess as quickly as possible for the good of the club, etc. http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/liverpool-fc/liverpool-fc-columnists/mark-lawrenson-column/2008/05/06/mark-lawrenson-slump-won-t-matter-if-moyes-s-men-stay-fifth-64375-20865583/ Tue, 06 May 2008 09:00:00 GMT http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/liverpool-fc/liverpool-fc-columnists/mark-lawrenson-column/2008/05/06/mark-lawrenson-slump-won-t-matter-if-moyes-s-men-stay-fifth-64375-20865583/ EVERTON’S slump in form shouldn’t detract from what they have achieved this season. http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/liverpool-fc/liverpool-fc-columnists/mark-lawrenson-column/2008/05/06/comment-barry-is-fine-but-benitez-needs-match-winners-64375-20865587/ Tue, 06 May 2008 09:00:00 GMT http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/liverpool-fc/liverpool-fc-columnists/mark-lawrenson-column/2008/05/06/comment-barry-is-fine-but-benitez-needs-match-winners-64375-20865587/ IT’S not that Gareth Barry isn’t a good player and wouldn’t be a decent addition to Liverpool’s squad. http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/liverpool-fc/liverpool-fc-columnists/mark-lawrenson-column/2008/04/22/mark-lawrenson-rafa-benitez-s-men-must-cope-with-first-leg-role-reversal-64375-20801426/ Tue, 22 Apr 2008 00:31:00 GMT http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/liverpool-fc/liverpool-fc-columnists/mark-lawrenson-column/2008/04/22/mark-lawrenson-rafa-benitez-s-men-must-cope-with-first-leg-role-reversal-64375-20801426/ IT looks so simple on paper. If Liverpool do what they have done in the last two semi-final meetings with Chelsea they will sail into a third European Cup final in four years. http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/liverpool-fc/liverpool-fc-columnists/mark-lawrenson-column/2008/04/15/mark-lawrenson-behind-the-scenes-shambles-can-only-distract-benitez-64375-20764493/ Mon, 14 Apr 2008 23:00:00 GMT http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/liverpool-fc/liverpool-fc-columnists/mark-lawrenson-column/2008/04/15/mark-lawrenson-behind-the-scenes-shambles-can-only-distract-benitez-64375-20764493/ RAFAEL BENITEZ should have been sat in the Anfield press room on Sunday with a huge grin on his face. http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/liverpool-fc/liverpool-fc-columnists/mark-lawrenson-column/2008/03/11/mark-lawrenson-fernando-torres-has-proved-rafa-s-a-transfer-master-64375-20603078/ Tue, 11 Mar 2008 10:09:00 GMT http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/liverpool-fc/liverpool-fc-columnists/mark-lawrenson-column/2008/03/11/mark-lawrenson-fernando-torres-has-proved-rafa-s-a-transfer-master-64375-20603078/ FERNANDO TORRES – talk about impeccable timing. I’m not just talking about the striker’s current goalscoring run and his incredible pace and finishing power. http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/liverpool-fc/liverpool-fc-columnists/mark-lawrenson-column/2008/02/12/mark-lawrenson-draw-is-a-step-in-the-right-direction-64375-20463824/ Tue, 12 Feb 2008 09:00:00 GMT http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/liverpool-fc/liverpool-fc-columnists/mark-lawrenson-column/2008/02/12/mark-lawrenson-draw-is-a-step-in-the-right-direction-64375-20463824/ LIVERPOOL were decent value for their point at Stamford Bridge. http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/liverpool-fc/liverpool-fc-columnists/mark-lawrenson-column/2008/02/12/mark-lawrenson-extra-overseas-game-is-an-unworkable-scheme-64375-20463820/ Tue, 12 Feb 2008 06:00:00 GMT http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/liverpool-fc/liverpool-fc-columnists/mark-lawrenson-column/2008/02/12/mark-lawrenson-extra-overseas-game-is-an-unworkable-scheme-64375-20463820/ IT IS little wonder football supporters have given a resounding thumbs down to the idea of taking Premier League matches around the world. http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/liverpool-fc/liverpool-fc-columnists/mark-lawrenson-column/2008/01/22/mark-lawrenson-quick-solution-needed-now-to-liverpool-crisis-64375-20377240/ Tue, 22 Jan 2008 07:00:00 GMT http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/liverpool-fc/liverpool-fc-columnists/mark-lawrenson-column/2008/01/22/mark-lawrenson-quick-solution-needed-now-to-liverpool-crisis-64375-20377240/ THE sooner Liverpool sort this mess out the better. http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/liverpool-fc/liverpool-fc-columnists/mark-lawrenson-column/2008/01/08/mark-lawrenson-liverpool-are-just-average-without-the-dynamic-duo-64375-20322357/ Tue, 08 Jan 2008 07:15:00 GMT http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/liverpool-fc/liverpool-fc-columnists/mark-lawrenson-column/2008/01/08/mark-lawrenson-liverpool-are-just-average-without-the-dynamic-duo-64375-20322357/ SAME old story for Liverpool I’m afraid. http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/liverpool-fc/liverpool-fc-columnists/mark-lawrenson-column/2008/01/01/off-the-field-uncertainties-continue-to-hamper-liverpool-s-fortunes-64375-20301024/ Tue, 01 Jan 2008 01:00:00 GMT http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/liverpool-fc/liverpool-fc-columnists/mark-lawrenson-column/2008/01/01/off-the-field-uncertainties-continue-to-hamper-liverpool-s-fortunes-64375-20301024/ THERE are some lingering doubts about Liverpool’s on-field fortunes in 2008. http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/liverpool-fc/liverpool-fc-columnists/mark-lawrenson-column/2007/12/11/mark-lawrenson-planning-ahead-is-fine-but-the-next-game-vital-64375-20231745/ Tue, 11 Dec 2007 07:30:00 GMT http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/liverpool-fc/liverpool-fc-columnists/mark-lawrenson-column/2007/12/11/mark-lawrenson-planning-ahead-is-fine-but-the-next-game-vital-64375-20231745/ RAFAEL BENITEZ’S forward planning saw Liverpool take a backward step in the race for the Premier League title. http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/liverpool-fc/liverpool-fc-columnists/mark-lawrenson-column/2007/12/04/mark-lawrenson-results-serve-to-further-strengthen-rafa-benitez-s-hand-64375-20199140/ Tue, 04 Dec 2007 00:00:00 GMT http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/liverpool-fc/liverpool-fc-columnists/mark-lawrenson-column/2007/12/04/mark-lawrenson-results-serve-to-further-strengthen-rafa-benitez-s-hand-64375-20199140/ IT seems Tom Hicks was right after all. Rafael Benitez should focus on coaching and training his team – because he seems to be doing a pretty good job of it at the moment. http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/liverpool-fc/liverpool-fc-columnists/mark-lawrenson-column/2007/11/20/mark-lawrenson-a-change-of-attitude-not-coach-is-needed-for-england-64375-20131704/ Tue, 20 Nov 2007 09:00:00 GMT http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/liverpool-fc/liverpool-fc-columnists/mark-lawrenson-column/2007/11/20/mark-lawrenson-a-change-of-attitude-not-coach-is-needed-for-england-64375-20131704/ THERE’S no doubt in my mind that Steve McClaren has to be the man to take England in to the Euro 2008 finals if they get the result they need against Croatia tomorrow.
