I only watched the last 15 mintues, and Allen and Gerrard don't seem that bad ... but it's really frustrating how lacking in confidence our middle 3 are ... they're suffering from downingtitis
So, subs eh?
I think the second goal was a bit unlucky.
The real issue for most of our problems seems to be the complete absence of a midfield. Getting goalside of them seems to be incredibly easy and when you do there's a nice huge expanse of pitch to play around with until you meet our defenders on the edge of the box.
Don't get upset guys - you should all know by now that every time we come up against a fast pacey opposition who decide to press us a little all that Liverpool Groove stuff goes out the window. I am listening on the radio - and no I am not enjoying this, there is no progress in this side ABSOLUTELY NONE - I have every right to say this. From what I heard from the first half - they are all over us, and as expected we are missing chances - no change there otherwise we would not be looking for new recruits in January.
Ok so Bale tore us a new one in the first 10 mins. I think we dominated the majority of the rest of the half though. I'm expecting (and praying) for a better 2nd half. Miracles happen!........
http://www.lshunter.tv/Anyone got a stable stream please? Don't mind if it's a bit low-res as long as it's watchable, so far all the ones I've tried are crap.
Time for a cigarette.
Yes, you do have the right to say all the bollocks you do.
Now, fuck off.
Allen, Johnson, Gerrard and Agger have been fucking woeful.
Cancer sticks are bad for you mate.
worse than downing? give it a rest.
I'm having a nice vape to calm my nerves instead.
Indeed mate - Seems we watched the same half. Apart from a bit finishing this would be so much better. 2-0 flatters them. Fuck it - it's either gonna be a gutting 4-0 loss or a result. If we get an early goal I'm up for a result for sure.You've gotta have hope....
Unfortunately Gerrard, despite playing better than the weekend, is not helping the midfield much, Allen is way below par & henderson is also disappointing. As such we practically don't have a midfield.
The problem for Gerrard now is that with his athleticism no longer allowing him to dominate he doesnt really bring much else to the party. Our midfield needs a shake up, not enough urgency and nowhere near enough pace. Teams that can surge forward with pace have caused us huge problems and I dont see Rodgers doing anything to change it. There is now a very clear way to play against us, press quickly and counter attack with pace, we have no answer to it
