Why oh why Benitez..... Do you bring Torres off! This must fucking frustrate the life out of him on a hat-trick and gets dragged off.
[/quote]

Fuck the hatrick. His confidence is brimming, he doesn't need a match ball. It would be nice but it's also nice to take him off, keep him fresh. We don't want to induce an injury either. 2 goals, job done.

We need goals as much as points.
[/quote]

We won't get either if he gets crocked, something which Benitez must live in fear of due to his own negligence in getting adequate backup. I'm not saying there isn't some logic to what you say, but surely you can see what Benitez is thinking?

It's amazing that Babel ever succeeds on the dribble from wide, given that he attempts to do the same thing every time, in the same way.
[/quote]

Babel reminds me so much of Baros. Runs, runs, runs get's to a player and becomes clueless.
[/quote]

babel is the sort of player you need to make quick inter changes with rather then the sort of player to run with the ball at his feet
 
Great performanc from the lads today. I feel slightly more optimistic about 4th now but it is still going to be tight. We'll need Spurs to choke as they always do and City to keep up their away form.

I can see what he's thinking, but that over cautious approach has not helped at all this season. It would be shite if tottenham got fourth on a single goal difference. The last 2 leauge games Benitez has taken torres of around the 60 min mark. The form torres is in he coul of scored another one or two in that time.

So we can keep him fit to get injured for Spain.
 
Fantastic performance from the boys. Excellent stuff.

Stick Stevie back in midfield for the last 6 games. Aqua can play behind Torres.

Just watching on Sky and there is a sizeable crowd still on the kop singing and chanting. Is it a protest? Anyone know the score?

Yeah, cos they hate stay behinds, & people marching. Massive phobia of masses of people walking, or standing still, the both of them.

Hopefully Steve Bruce can get a big, positive reaction from his team for their next match; at home to Tottenham.

It's not so much the marching and walking, it's more the fact that it's half way around the world that they find really disturbing.

Sunderland were really, really shit.

Darren Bent is not an international class striker.
[/quote]

darren bent is a superb striker. 20 league goals speaks for itself. I really wish we had him

You really can't figure out why?
[/quote]

The lad is fully match fit, we still have 8 goals to make up against tottenham. Torres is having a field day against them, so no I can't work out why. We need goals as much as points.
[/quote]

Yes but we need tottenham to lose 2 or 3 while we win dont we... so therein we will almost automatically catch them up GD wise, quite obviously he took Torres of and Gerrard because we have another big game coming up, it was the right thing to do all round...

and we played fucking great today... i really enjoyed that.

the game was obviously very enjoyable but it was also highly irritating to see it these tactics deployed after all is lost. every single liverpool fan, bar ryan, has been advocating this approach, at home, against poor opposition for the past 6 years. benitez is acting very out of character and i wonder whether it has something to do with his house going on the market.

i also think it's highly improbable that he would start sending the team out with this intent if he were still here next season, for what it's worth.

We always play like this when we've got nothing left to lose. It happened last season too after United went ahead of us. Rafa is a technically brilliant manager with some sort of weird mental block about the value of risk. Maybe because he won La Liga doing it 'his' way, he believes he ought to be able to do the same in England. But if six years of failure hasn't changed his mind, wtf will?
