Official Match thread - Watford V Liverpool

Quick Stop the press! Ashley Young is actually playing! *coughs*

[Rohan]

the pitch isnt helping. Would take off gerrard and maybe another.....easy to injure yourself on this pitch

True. Just have high expectations on Kuyt so expect him to be so assured every time he plays

[Bob]

i cant believe how bad watford are

Only seen ten minutes of them and i'm actually appalled. Were they as bad in the first half?

Rafa - protect some players pretty please (you could bring me on against this lot, scrap that, you could bring duncan oldham on against this lot).

[Rohan]

If you were a manager and could see that McKay could just not handle Crouch, wouldn't you swap the marking?

Looks round, sorry, missed it, what happened?

[Rohan]

McKay should be booked for that. Led with his elbow

[Craig_H]

No top flight defenders are REALLY this bad at marking - Watford are clearly letting Crouchy have free headers on purpose - probably a better defensive option than trying to clear the ball themselves.

[Flake]

that was some elbow on alonso.... should have been a red for mackay...

[Rohan]

Young crossed the ball.

Sorry, were you expecting more?

It's working really well for them. We are only 3-0 up!

Is there any way we could recall Diao for the final half hour?

[johnnyfish]

Goals from Jimmy Ryan and Ray Putterill earned the under-18s a fifth-round tie against either Coventry or Reading.

Yeah but Crouchy's headed goal didnt come from a cross or set piece

Gerrard should've had more composure there

[Rohan]

Jeezuss. Gerrard should have had that. Surprised Bellers didn't take it on the volley.

Stevie should have banged that home for 4 though

[Finnish_Red]

Yep, went for power instead of accuracy
