LFC v Auxerre match thread

[bigfooty]

Good covering by Riise after a defensive lapse to let Auxerre in.

First corner is headed out.

Second corner headed away, long-range shot goes well wide.

[Shaggy]

Gerrard scores - one nil

[bigfooty]

Lack of options down the left evident from Yossi staying on. To be fair the guy has looked lively but with Babel off I'm not sure who we could bring on.

Auxerre see a shot dribble across the goal, fortunate to get away with that.

[bigfooty]

We need wingers!

Yossi comes infield, plays it to Arbeloa but bounces off him for a throw.

Crouch and Torres link up well, ref blows for a free-kick but should have played advantage as Crouch picked out Yossi in space.

[bigfooty]

Xabi free-kick wide to Arbeloa, back to Xabi, deep to far post, Crouch pulls it back but Auxerre clear.

[Colemere]

We need wingers!

Benayoun & Babel both cut inside at every opportunity.

Bizarrely, so does Pennant.

[Flake]

honestly, thank god its pissing down outside... else I would have no reason to be still sat in watching this lol

[bigfooty]

Pennant nips away from his marker, low cross is cleared by defender for corner. Crouch lurking.

Awful corner doesn't beat first man. I didn't see the culprit.

[bigfooty]

Auxerre break, 3 on 2 for a moment there but Paletta dives in with a sliding challenge and clears for corner.

[Gaz]

Good covering defending by Paletta

Dear Yossi,

Xabi can handle the middle of the park, thank you very much. Get out wide left FFS!

Thank you,
BrooklynRed
