Anyone have a decent stream?
Baffling how poor our counter attacking has been, given how many attackers we have with pace. So many opportunities to run at and stretch depleted defensive positions and almost every time squandered with a bad decision or simply just running into the nearest man.
Ming 4 - are you fucking nuts ! Passing out to Gerrard with 2 players within a few metres of him. Bloody dolt.
Enrique - 6 - has his work cut out with two fast players on that wing. Needs help.
Lovren - 6 - a danger at set pieces. He could score today. Wake up in defence please.
Skrtel - 5 - stop fucking hoofing, 3 times this half.
Manquillo - 6.5 - a couple of errors but also our best bet to get anything from the right.
Gerrard - 5 - simply has to do more, both in defence and attack
Henderson - 5 - see Gerrard. Not one of his better matches
Coutinho - 6 - if there were runners he could find them, though he's found Sterling on a few occasions it's not on the wing we need it.
Markovic - 6 - he looks better through the centre, beginning to find his feet and trying to make runs through the defence. Still not great.
Sterling - 6 - stupid foul for a yellow. Trying to do everything himself and failing most of the time .... though who can blame him.
Balotelli - 4 - fuck off. Lazy arse. Get back onside FFS. Don't yell at RS that he should have passed to you when you should have run into the box and stop trying ti dribble past 2-3 defenders, because you can't.

What seems different about our counter attacks this season than last is that even though we have pacy players in Sterling and Markovic, they just aren't anywhere near getting on the shoulder of the last defender, they are too deep and easy to close down. Manquillo getting a bit lazy with his clearances.
There's no excuse not to develop situations when we actually have the ball with men over, though!
Cerbs and Leo at loggerheads. I'm with Cerbs on this...
I'm with Leo.
Who passed it to him?
Think you're being a bit harsh on Mario here, the general play from the 3 behind him has been poor.
Alright, I'm able to watch now. One of my coworkers saw through my conveniently scheduled midweek client meeting.
So, more of the same then?
That counter is exactly the sort of chance we regularly threatened from last year, but haven't this year.

Got away with a penalty there.
Well, that was coming. Glad I tuned in.
Set piece...... Oh dear
Oh look a set piece goal.
