Liverpool vs Marseille - post match reaction

[Kilteragh]

Listen guys

This isn't the priority, yes the Champions League would be good but would be as sweet as winning the Premiership. I'm not the most optimistic but if this is the crappest performance of the season, surely we should look forward to something good this May

Not the point Ben. We're playing **** in the league too. We badly need a result AND a performance against Spurs.

[alunevans]

Just one of those nights.

I wish. It's been five on the trot on my count.

[El Jefecito]

The season is slowly imploding for us and Rafa seems to be clueless as to how to solve it. We are boring, one paced, too rigid, and lacking in skill. Our performances early season papered over the cracks which fundamentally still exist.

Solving it is easy. Gerrard in midfield is not working, he may lead the attack but his ability to win the 2nd ball is zero. OUr winless streak has conincided exactly with his return to the first team.

Real issue is, does Rafa have the balls to drop him?

This better be the kick up the arse that some of these ****ers needed because most tonight played like they needed one huge ****in kick up the arse. Now they have got it they best ****in respond like red men and put some ****in pride and passion back into our play.Im not arsed about stepovers and one-two`s, nice to see, but what I expect is 100% commitment, none of this 110% bollocks.

Momo is 'boss' one game out of 5. He's not a footballer. He can't pass the ball...it's pathetic. He's fine in a 5 man midfield where we need someone like him to race around and tackle every player on the pitch but in a 4 man midfield where we need players to keep posession he's pure gash. rubbish. crap.

Absolutely spot on.

tom that was the worst performance in midfield as a unit in a long time

Sad but true mate.

alonso and masher in the middle theres no reason to drop him

[desertscouser]

Momo hasn't been boss since before his injuries. Sad but true. That was the worst midfield performance from a liverpool player for a long, long time.

Momo tonight made Diao look like Zidane. If he isn't dropped for the next game then Rafa's got rocks in his head.

Is right.

No as bad as that though.

We looked completely inept tonight.

Though I'll grant you we've been building up to it. We've been crusing for brusing with our current form.

Time for one of those dreaded Houllier corners to appear.

egg****inxactly

This is NOT a night for pointing the finger at individuals, that is just letting the TEAM that played tonight off the hook.

[Joe King]

Hyypia, Momo, Riise, Kuyt, Crouch, Carra all bloody clueless when it comes to attacking, finding players in space, pass and move etc.

Yep, we raved on about playing like 80s side of pass and move when we beat Derby. Hold on, Derby?! What the ****? This is the most ****test side since that god awful Sunderland side. We need to take the rose tainted glasses and realise this isn't the best side and we need to rise the roof when teams coming to Anfield.

[Revo]

leto riise and then benayoun on the left in the first 70 minutes, its only been about 15 years now and any day now we should have that left sorted.

[Tom]

Going to bed now. We're trying for a baby so I've got to have sex. Not really in the mood for it now though......

[Nicey]

That's two.

Brilliant post of the Evening ... thats cheered me up
