Liverpool v Birmingham - Match thread

[MrMichael]

I honeatly don't understand any of you who are ranting or disgusted or shocked by this performance...

You all must be under 30. When we were on top of the world we still ground out results on occasion. and we rarely pumped teams 7-0.

sometimes those days happen, but its the first half against a team who work hard at the back, come off a run of two wins in three games, and went close to beating the chavs on the first day of the season.

please get over yourselves. we don't have some god given right to win every game with ease...

as my mum would say... 'you're not playing the blind school'

ffs

Into the final minute of the half and the crowd is silent.

Sami strides forward, Riise on the left trys to hook it back but goes out for a goal-kick.

Too comfortable for Birmingham with 3 minutes of added time due to the injury earlier to Oubina.

[bigfooty]

Palacios with a drive, Pepe saves on the goal line.

Babel on the right, low cross is cleared and picked up by us in midfield but Birmingham clear.

El Jefe with a couple of sliding challenges to break up a counter-attack.

Jerome scores but is miles offside, lucky not to be booked for kicking the ball away.

bring crouch on Rafa

[bigfooty]

Corner from us headed over.

Second corner is headed clear.

Gerrard trys to burst through, comes wide, Birmingham with a sea of bodies in front of us preventing the short pass through.

[glynner]

Brum playing with almost 7 men in defense

[sid]

Anfield sounds like the local pitch down the road.

Free kick is taken short to Pennant who rifles in a shot and Taylor tips it over.

[JohnDoe]

It`s not easy against a 9 man defence,when we get the 1st it will open them up.

Correct. The first goal is always the hardest against these sides.

[glynner]

Pennant almost scored from free kick

[disco]

Torres looks pissed, the fans look pissed - we play the most boring frustrating football ever, even Ged's was better!!

Are you being serious?!

Like Ged's team could do one touch passing

Birmingham fans been outsinging us all half.

Pennant moves forward, attempts a 1-2 with Kuyt and is fouled. Free-kick about 40 yards out, central.
