Kolo Toure

[I, Ravel Morrison]

Talk about a swing in fortunes -- what happened to the commanding defender from the start of the season?

[Rich]

What annoyed me most wasn't the mistake, after all we've seen Gerrard do similar before, it was his reaction to it. The whole OTT hands on head and gormless look on his face which he seemed to continue with for a few minutes.

[fah-q]

Do you think he should have laughed instead?

He was gutted.

[Reece]

Aye, think you're being a bit harsh in that respect Ricardo.

TBF he was devastated & it was a natural reaction to an almighty balls up

It seemed genuine to me, a proper "Oh noes" reaction. Some people are more demonstrative than others.

Mistakes happen

Toure rues defensive error

Kolo Toure admits he was left hugely disappointed by his error that allowed West Bromwich Albion to claim a point in Sunday’s 1-1 draw with Liverpool.

With the Reds leading by a goal thanks to Daniel Sturridge's opener, the centre-back misplaced a pass across the edge of his own area on 67 minutes, enabling Victor Anichebe to rifle home a leveller for the hosts.

"It was a terrible pass by me," Toure told the Liverpool Echo. "You have to make the right decisions and today I took a bad decision.

"It was my call. I should have passed to one of our players but instead I passed it straight to the striker.

"I just didn't see him [Anichebe]. I should have played it to Aly [Cissokho] on the side.

"I wasn't surprised to get the ball from Simon because that's the way we play.

"I made a very bad pass. I don't know why I passed the ball into the middle of the pitch, it was crazy.

"I'm disappointed for me and the team. It's hard to take, especially for me, because we played well.

"It's difficult to say what we have been talking about in the dressing room but the manager knows how disappointed I am. My pass put the team in a difficult situation."

The draw ensured Liverpool moved two points ahead of fifth-place Everton in the Barclays Premier League table, but Toure feels they should have taken maximum points at the Hawthorns.

He added: "It was a tough game but I thought it was a good performance.

"We should have won the game 1-0. We have missed an opportunity after United and Tottenham dropped points but the season is long. We just need to avoid these kind of mistakes.

"When you make mistakes it's important to bounce back and play better.

"I've made a few mistakes in my life and I'm still learning every day. I will learn from this."




**** it - move on

Did we?

Kolo must have been watching a different game to the one I was watching!

[Cormack74]

Can we change Sarb's title to "Whinging Pom"?

Having experienced your country a number of times I can safely say there is no bigger whinger than an Australian Taxi driver.

[souliv]

Awful mistake but we had more than enough time to win the game after it happened we need to be far more aggressive against these teams to get the win

[sssiho]

It was'nt a great performance yesterday but all players make mistakes, so lets move on. I don't think we will make top 4, not just because of this, i don't think the squad is strong enough yet. We are good but not quite consistent enough. I believe we will make top 6 which is a good step forwards, i just hope that the next step to top 4 is not too big with the amount of money being handed out to Champions league teams. I would hate to lose Luis but if we get 100mill then that can be reinvested helping us to make that step up.
But hey if I'm wrong and we fluke top 4 this year, happy days.

Thanks for that mate, cheered me up it did.

Talk about the glass being half empty!

[baitman]

dont go sarb, you whining ****...

only joking, at least you tell it like it is. **** is still ****, even if its the team we all love.

we need you balanced viewpoint to counter the rose tinted spectacle wearing tree huggers

[Pablo]

He doesn't always tell it like it is though does he? His opinions are often hopelessly negative and unreasonable. Plus it's the way he goes about it. He just seems a bit angry. Permanently angry.

[RichC]

I'll bite.

There's no Rose tinted glasses in here in think some just realise the league is competitive, we're still not as strong as we'd like (no real shock) and there's no devine right to beat teams.

And we've moved another point closer to our target, should have been more but mistakes happen
