Liverpool vs Marseille - post match reaction

[Joe King]

Didnt that Zenden look half decent for them? Showed how crap we played. Everyone has a brilliant game against us. We don't look dangerous

[FatTony]

We didn't have a player to play the ball our of defence today, with Stevie having to do that job and Momo having a stinker. That has been our downfall as our passing game didn't materialise at all. We couldn't make two passes all game and didn't create anything until the last 15 mins.

Marseille were the better team, that is all. We couldn't match them. It's worrying.

Marseille had a couple of their top players out thought didn't they?

Still, this is an awful run of form, 1 point from a possible 6 in this group is not good.

Basically, I think there is a very good chance we'll go out now.

i dont mind losing but not like that. i got up at 4.30am to watch that crap.maybe the 3 or 4 games 10 days caught up with them-no thats not right the team is rotated to ensure that doest happen.

[Imy]

Probably a major overreaction, but I wouldn't care if Momo never kicked a ball for us ever again. Sometimes he just looks like a long distance runner who somehow landed on a football pitch. Everyone was **** tonight. Rafa has to stop this.

Momo was piss poor, gave the ball away at every opportunity.

The fasting must have got to him.

Best midfield in the world???

Bloody weren't playing on our side tonight.

Agree we haven't been playing well, but imploding? Imploding is your season's over and no more chance of silverware.

It's our first defeat of the season, how we respond will be key.

You know in a perverse way it could be the best thing that could've happened at this juncture. ****in reality check time for everyone. Rafa included. Performances have been poor and everyone needs to get their arse in gear.

First big test of the season. Think we'll bounce back and **** Spurs.

Good post. The players need to play for the shirt this weekend. It's red and it's got a liverbird on it in case any of them have forgotten.

[Red_Al_77]

There is no excuse for not beating Spurs at the weekend. None whatsoever.

[AFII]

If a player don't play a few games in a row then he will never be able to play himself into top form.

Right now a few players isn't match fit because they don't play enough.

Sissoko, Crouch and Leto was very poor today but you can't expect them to deliver when they are not match fit.

[flyboy]

the other thing that worries me...can we actually play against a team playing 5 in the middle.from what i've seen we are completely clueless when up against a formation like that.

Marseilles won 1 league game outta 9 before coming to Anfield tonight - on that note, goodnight gentlemen.

[CharlieMansonsSquint]

Chins up people.

No need to slag Dunk off.

Those same players didn't look out of form a few weeks back. As people said during the game why did we have all our players back for their corners. Where is our attacking game? That is tactics.

It's only one game and I don't care about the CL as long as we win the league. Still early days but yes it's worrying. There is 90% of the season still to go.

[Joe King]

We're not a defensive team but we didn't show up and have been doing that the last 6 games. It's strange but we should have been losing more than 1 game during that time, so our solidity managed to win us 2 games.

The players need to regroup and regain some confidence. That's the most difficult part. If we lose that, we'll be struggling and out of the title race soon.

We are a ****ing defensive team. Rafa is always happy with clean sheets if its a draw. He needs to get rid of his European mentality and take a book out of the other successful managers in England

[Red_hot]

Semantics. We are in a mini crisis.

It's our first defeat of the season. I'd hardly say that meant we were imploding or in a crisis, be it mini or not!

Sack Parry.
