Liverpool v Birmingham - Match thread

[Red_Polo]

Incase you haven't noticed - match and arguements over. And you lot call me a WUM But you keep on entertaining yourself ok

In case you haven't noticed, I am one person not 'you lot', and I never called you a wum. But, you are a wum. Wum.

Funny you should say that, because stats show the team that won it last year rotated MORE than us. Don't let the facts get in the way of your simplistic analysis and doom-merchantry.



I agree with you there, it is worrying. For me, it's because our wide men are not quite doing the biz and Gerrard is seriously out of form. With the exception of Torres our strikers are being far too pensive on the ball for my liking. They need to develop the attitude that when the ball comes to them in the box, they're just going to make a yard of space and **** it into the goal instead of trying to be nice smart little team players. They can save that stuff for outside the area.



You're just a big ray of sunshine aren't you?



He never said that though did he? A Premiership team with 10 men behind the ball is never easy to break down.

Nearly every week in Ged's last season!

Yeah, shame becasue I don't think Rafa deserves it, ok the last 3 games have been poor and I don't believe Torres being on from the start would've made a huge difference.
We were poor creatively today.

[Red_Polo]

The scum whipped Reading, they just didn't have a striker to finish off the million chances.

Whereas Brum were all over us and we were lucky to escape with the point?

Here you go lad.

Look what mr whiplash done to me post fella

[Red_Polo]

:whatever: We won't win the league!! Too much rotation end of.

Yeah but the fact of the matter is we've created sweet fa at home against birmingham, flippin birmingham
Worrying, there's no point in denying it.

Kuyt and Abysmal in the same sentence - starting to hear that quite a bit lately. Here's Torres now and kuyt will drop even deeper, what's the point????

So it's because Brum are an outstanding defensive unit now is it???? My god the lame excuses.

oh dear, cue a week of mass hysteria and overaction from people who spend too much time on the net and have too many e-numbers in their food. Cya all next week when it's calmed down.

Well if it got us in a manager who picked the best team and played liverpool football - maybe i am.

The Scum drew 0-0 at home with Reading to start this season.



It turned out not to be the end of the world for them.

[carlton]

why is it an overreaction when there have been three 0-0 and our play has been bloody ordinary? we never looked like scoring today. the passing was ordinary, no urgency, the performance listless,lacked class and polish.**** this rotation our best striker should start if he's not injured.Maybe we as fans got ahead of ourselves after the Derby game? We still have a way to go to be real title threats. Chelsea and Man U win these games and it happens year in year out.

[JohnDoe]

I'm less concerned about the result and more concerned with our naivety and soft mentality. We're too nice a team, we need to go for the throat and have no mercy. It's not about rotation or the quality of our players, it's the way we approach these types of games, when the opposition is happy to sit back and defend and the few first shots at goal don't go in. The pressure is mounting and if it's still 0-0 at the 60th minute, we never look like winning.

Breaking that mental barrier is the mark of champions and I haven't seen that today. It's early in the season, but you know we're going to look back at this game and ask what could have been.

Rafa needs to find our vicious streak.

[Johnny]

Fowler got a brace today,we should have kept him.
