Liverpool v Birmingham - Match thread

[bigfooty]

Pennant on the left, getting involved, looking lively, ball breaks to Kuyt who trys a shot but goes wide.

[glynner]

no cutting edge to our play

birmingham seem far too comftable imo

Both Kuyt and Voronin playing too deep

[Lee]

Sounds **** so far

[bigfooty]

Pennant to Arbeloa, Gerrard cross in but Kuyt's flick goes out for a goal-kick.

[glynner]

kuyt heads just wide

[bigfooty]

Babel on the left, cuts inside, to Gerrard but Kuyt messes it up and Birmingham clear.

Signs of frustration by Gerrard at Kuyt's poor play.

More of the same bull****... Hoof hoof hoof!!

[bigfooty]

El Jefe trys to Xabi it wide to Pennant and instead straight out for a goal kick.

[bigfooty]

Mascher to Gerrard, headed down to Pennant, cross in his easy for the keeper with only Voronin anywhere near the goal.

[loki]

Being outsung by bums

[bigfooty]

Mid-way through the first half and yet to test the keeper. We've had some decent little moves but nothing to get overly excited about.

Birmingham with a cross in, cleared, hoofed away in fact and Birmingham regain the ball.

[glynner]

hoofed ball from Sami, goes nowhere

[bigfooty]

Birmingham with a throw down the left, 3000 fans here from them and they are making a substantial noise.

[bigfooty]

Fourth corner already, taken short, Pennant crosses but blocked for another corner.

More conventional this time, comes out to Riise on edge of the box but he slices his shot wide.
