Liverpool v Birmingham - Match thread

[Sarb]

We won't win today. End of. Arsenal will be at least 4 points clear of us come 5.00pm

[fowlen]

We are playing very poorly against a pretty average team.
The biggest problem is the lack of creativity in midfield and that neither Pennant or Babel have done anything of significance.

Kuyt has been pretty poor and Voronin not in the game at all.

[bigfooty]

Babel with a driving run but, as is so often the case, our wingers feel the need to run into the middle of the pitch and his shot is dragged wide through a number of players.

pair of blerts. end of:whatever:

[Imy]

Rafa tinkers too much, i doubt any players are tired so why rotate Torres?

[bigfooty]

Birmingham come forward, decent cross from Kapo just missed by Jerome who nearly got a touch to make it 1-0.

[Sarb]

Rotating Torres as he don't like playing strikers that score goals

[bigfooty]

Pennant, with space, short ball to Kuyt but his return is abysmal and Birmingham get it away.

[The Erectile Banana]

Yup, what a difference a week or two makes. When we beat Derby, pundits/press/media were saying how we look like real title contenders, and that we have a great chance of winning it.

Then a draw at one of the hardest away grounds in the League, and one where no English side has ever won, and now we're 'not ready to win the title'. :whatever:

**** the pundits, who cares what they think?

We win 6-0 we're going to win the league.
Arse win a few games then they're going to do it.
Most reporting is short term and blinkered and written to sell newspapers rather than give an accurate picture.

Sensationalism sells, rational comment doesn't.

We all know we have the squad to win the league.

The fact that they are already writing us off is probably good as it keeps pressure off us.

with a game in hand. our passsing has been, on the whole, ****e up to this point.

[glynner]

commentator saying Quedrue looks tired

Hopefully Pennant should take advantage of this as game goes on

[bigfooty]

Our wingers are playing more like support strikers at times, with the fullbacks playing as wingers. It is leading to the midfield being too congested and play breaking down.

Jerome causes problems, Pepe has to scramble it away.

Mate i find it very hard to be anything but watching this... Sorry for sounding like this but it demoralising, i'm not trying to be a WUM, i just can't comprehend how most of you defend Benitez for this.

its time for Torres
