How we play

Do we even want to attack? I was just watching Real Madrid videos and with most of their attacks there are at least 6 of their players sprinting across getting into positions to score. When we watch us attack its Suarez trying to get the ball, downing on the far/left right up a donkey's ass and our midfield besides Gerrard pretty much sitting on the half-way line. I don't get it. Whenever I see our attacks we are vastly outnumbered and chances go nowhere as a result. Players are afraid to commit forward it seems :/ Sad.
