Liverpool v Middlesbrough Match Thread

Our pace is all wrong; it's like we're too patient and think we have a year to play this game. Mignolet is showing more urgency than any of our outfield players. We really need to build on this goal and come out and bury them early in the second half and get this over with ASAP.
 
Thank god for that.


The thing that really irks is that Everton would probably still be 0-0 against Arsenal if they played like Boro and countless other teams have played against us. Watford wouldn't be 4 down against City. It's anti-football but it works, and not just against us.

Oh those dreadful lesser sides who only play meek, cowardly, defensive football against Liverpool, but give it a good old attacking go against everyone else above us in the league

Yes, too many players have their backs to goal, too many are not looking as they pass, and when a Boro attack breaks down Ming needs to throw it or kick it rather than start another movement from the back - when a team camps in front of their own area, don't give them time to get back when they do venture into our half.

Too true pal.

In theory yes but Ming's kicking is so bad that it wouldn't make a difference.
 
If I understand correctly, if Arsenal result stays the same, even a draw would be enough for us? I'd much much rather we just went and got a second and put this to bed right now.
