yah really poor pass from babel there but he tracked back ... he's not playing that badly but not doing anything to stand out either.

mascherano is playing well here.
 
poor from Lucas on a good break ... he's been ... well ... Lucas'ish today.

Insua has not had his best game today either.

Johnson looks like a player

Yeah, he really does.

If only Benitez has the funds to buy Championship players.

The reason why Benitez began to buy attacking full backs (in his own words) like Degen, Dossena , Johnson and Insua was because they are cheaper than decent wingers.

Of course: 6m < 25m.

So that's a load of bullshit once again from Rafa.
 
I hate our style of play at times.

We either maintain possession for ages with each playing shifting responsibility of trying something creative. You can almost see the thought process as they receive the ball: 'Nah, you have a go'.

Or, when we do try and cut someone open, a shit touch from Lucas, Babel, N'gog, Maxi, Kuyt, etc, inevitably fucks it up, and the camera then cuts to Steven Gerrard's angry face and we all feel his pain.
 
Adebayor gets a touch on a wild shot that could have gone anywhere - fortnately knocked it wider than the goal

OOOH - great cross in from Adam J. - scary stuff
 
mascher passes to lucas.

lucas to mascherano

mascherano to skrtel

skrtel to carra

carra to reina



How often do we see this ever game?

Learn to head the ball please Skrtel.

That should be 1-0 ... really poor header there
 
Slightly harsh booking that. It was hardly dangerous or cynical - just a decent attempt to block the ball.
 
we seem to get fuck all this season more so when we are away from home, fucking joke >🙁
 
Half time;

Gerrard has been next to faultless.

Defence has been pretty solid, despite some individual errors.

We are looking to win this game. There's no 'play for a draw' attitude here.

Skrtel's played very well, but probably should have scored.

Only 45 more mins to suffer through lads.

Keep going

half time 0-0

reina - 6 - one jittery moment but nothing to really concern him

carra - 7- solid
skrtel - 7- should have scored
agger - 5 - some really odd decisions at the back
insua - 4 - poor

lucas - 4 - one of his worst games in a while
maschr - 6 - bar the yellow, he's had a good game

maxi - 5 - done nothing to stand out
gerrard - 7 - some really good set piece deliveries, and he seems to be trying his best but his teammates are just not very good
babel - 5 - bar one pass, he's not done that poorly. won 2 corners and has showed some nice touches. i hope he gets a goal.

kuyt - 5 - hustling and doing his best, but not getting much service.
