West Ham (A)

I despise Joe Cole and Stewart Downing. There isn't a LFC fan in the world who'd want them on the pitch. Why are they there then?
 
Shelvey is BY FAR not the worst player for us today.

Gerrard, Downing, Cole...

Whatever. He's playing out of position and is feeding on scraps, for the chance he had the ball bounced up infront of him. As for Downing, why's he mentioned? Because it's customary? There's been worse players out there than him, Allen and Gerrard have been woeful defensively, and for all of Johnson's attacking brilliance, funny that practically every attack has come down his side while Downing (who isn't a defender) hasn't had alot to deal with.

Cole and Sterling have been piss poor at keeping possession and Allen has just lost every battle thrown at him. Poor decision to throw Cole into a game where we were desperately needing to get a foothold.

Yeah.... but lets not get ahead of ourselves hes leaden slow, got the touch of a rapist doesnt look that arsed generally and has missed two pretty good chances.... hes fucking miserable....

he was last game in the league as well...

Oh and the one before...

Its just desperate stuff, even when we score screamers we cant hold it together enough to defend against the most very basic of attacking styles... Its just shat.... and the ref seems only to see when our players are on their players not the other way round, they should be down to ten its a simple as that....

In fact if rodgers isnt straight into that refs office during the break then hes a fucking idiot.

FUUUUUUUUUUCK

talk about shooting yourselves in the foot, a soft pen and a fucking OG....
 
Even ignoring the challenge on Sterling (I've seen straight reds for less), ball to hand has been given, arm around the throat hasn't. We've been shit too, since about the 20 minute mark but, by Christ these officials don't make it easy.
 
long term we're really going to need more steel and bottle in this team . too often this season they've shown themselves to be a big bag of fannies.

Yeah, whatever. At least you saw Shelvey trying and giving a fuck. Which Downing doesn't, as always.
 
The Cole decision was poor, we're lightweight enough and Sterling isn't helping, it's like men v boys. We need to get some steel on there. Fuck knows who.
 
We started very well, then West Ham really turned up their pressing game, and they are just physically overmatching us. We were beating them with our passing tempo, and they've successfully knocked us out of that game. They are a very difficult side for us the way that they are playing, and they deserve what they've had so far.

It was always going to be difficult without Suarez, but I don't think Rogers has figured out the best way around it.

It'll be interesting to see whether we can adjust a bit and gain a bit of control over the game again in the second half, but I don't see us getting a result from behind given our lack of goal scoring.
 
look , we've been pants for the most part of this season and beyond , our one truly good player is suspended , so this half time score shouldn't really be too much of a surprise . What is driving me mad though is we look completely surprised that West Ham are playing this way , like we never expected it at all .
 
Which is exactly my point. He simply doesnt have a strikers movement or awareness. It's not his fault he's playing here eitht

He may aswell drop him into the midfield and try someone else up there, at least Gerrard has a first touch, he's useless at trying to control the play at the minute, and while Shelvey is equally erratic, at least he'll get stuck in. I'd be tempted to put Hendo on for Allen, but Rodgers wont.
 
By the way, I don't want to seem a downer, as he's got room to grow, but we've seen exactly what Sterling offers this season, and also what he does not. He's absolutely not there yet, and the fact that he's playing all the time says a lot about the rest of our attacking options.
 
That Cole sub is so frustrating. Suso, Assaidi etc on the bench and we've wasted a change on the worst "winger" in a Liverpool shirt in recent memory.
 
Do you reckon Joe Coles big fat lolling tongue slows him down. This is shit, we've fuck all attacking options. And where's Assaidi ? Injured ?
