THE post match reaction thread....

why oh why didnt torres start either of the last 2 prem games.?

rafas policies are hurting us and costing us points, he will get lambasted for this and deserves it.

Lads, we aren't good enough. Move on. Go out. Have a shag, a wank ... Life goes on. Bye bye.

We don't play passing football persistently enough. We lack patience and lump it long ... It's either a lack of quality or lack or movement / stamina at the moment.

still here :whatever:

Poor team selection for me.

Kuyt just isn't effective against teams who use tactics like Birmingham. He doesn't have the pace to run in behind nor the height to threaten in the air.

It's a setback but lets move on.

Still unbeaten.

Would like to see Crouch and Torres start the next game in the league.

Up to the bigger sides to cope with that and break them down tho mate.
No excuses. It's just a hurdle you have to overcome.

how can you break down 9 men in your box???


You cant!! You cant play one touch around the box beacuse its too crowded, and you cant ping crosses into the box because someone is always going to cut it off.

it was just ****ing cringeworthy watching that.

I hope Brum enjoy their ****ty little point...because if they play like that everytime they are away they will be relegated.

You can ping crosses into the box if you have wingers that can get past his man. Pennant can't, Bruce knows that and used that today.

[Harv]

Do you think Birmingham would have got a point if they had played attacking football?

I don't. They played the best possible tactic to get a point and it worked.

I dont expect them to play a nice attacking brand of football, they would get flogged if they did that.

I just expect them to not have 9 players defending. Its absurd.

I could understand them having say 5/6 men back.....but ****ing 9 is just pathetic man!!

are you saying that every team that comes to anfield will get a point if they play like that???.....

and they would get a point at old trafford,

you have to be good enough to break them down. simply

we didnt have the correct attitude, tactics or players on the pitch today. simple

****. Words fail me. Absolutely ****ing shocking.

Think I'm used to not beating the likes of Birmingham now. Every average club who travel to Anfield stick 10 men behind the ball all game, we all know that.

So Rafa leaves our best, most creative, prolific, fastest £20m striker on the ****ing bench. Babel, who's a right footed forward, plays left ****ing wing. Kuyt plays far too deep. Pennant, whilst has improved, offers us an almost zero goal threat with both scoring and creating. Crouch (top scorer for the last two seasons) has played maybe 150 minutes in the league. No two strikers are getting the chance to create a good partnership.

Three crap performances in a row. I'm starting to be a little bit worried.

Just one more thing.

Torres from the start is a must in the league.

Yes he must,Drogba when fit always starts,so did Henry and Van Nistelrooy when then were in the prem and still do at their current clubs.When you have only one top notch striker he plays and the rest fight to play beside him,end of.

Can you post that to Rafa

[ARIMAN]

Didnt watch the game today, due to work

What was the baalnced opinon of the game? - were we unlucky or just slightly off colour

Did we miss Alonso?

That`s Bollox.Bruce "used" Pennants inability to get past his man and ping crosses into the box. I`ve heard it all now.

so having pace to get past a man can negate 8/9 men in the box??

bollocks.

Brum didnt play football, they set up camp infront of our goal.

If i was playing in that game i wouldn't of shaken any of those pissweak *******s hands.....they didnt play in the spirit of the game...so why would i shake some ***** hand. Stevie should of told them to **** off from Anfield playing that tripe. ****ers!!
