Liverpool vs Marseille - post match reaction

[Red_hot]

Ok how about smart car size crisis?

Nah.

Seriously, we played **** granted but it's only October and our first defeat of the season. To be saying we're in any kind of crisis to me is a bit of an overreaction.

With Mash/Arbeloa etc back on Sunday we will **** Spurs!

[Rafa Shankly]

1 thing weve learned from tonight,we definitely know who our weak links are.
riise or arbalo should always start at LB,mascherano or xabi should always start in CM,and kuyt should always start up front.

tonights game was atrocious,i hope to god we get out of this rut were in,starting on saturday.

Ok how about smart car size crisis?

btw its not like this started tonight, the telling signs were the pompie game after the international break. it was only a matter of time before we got what we deserved. the most worrying aspect is how easily we were played off the park tonight and i dont think in my 46 years ive ever witnessed a poorer passing performance in the first half today.

[CharlieMansonsSquint]

We just don't play to our creative player's strengths. I hate the footie we play, it's f*cking embarrassing. Technically we're complete sh!te and we keep playing these sh!te long balls to no one.

Honestly, I'm sick to death of watching ****e football. Watching pathetic players like Momo who can't even pass a ball from A to B just makes me sick.Most of our players were rubbish today but he took the biscuit. 1 good game in 5 doesn't cut it...and Rafa' reaction to the goal which was gifted by Momo tells me that he won't be starting a match for a very long time to come.

We've been crap for weeks now and I have a feeling we're going to get cuffed by Spurs over the weekend.

I think we're missing Alonso and Agger as has previously been said by many, they look to keep it on the deck.

But looking at some of the players in our squad, who regularly get games, their level of technical ability is embarrassing at a club of our stature. I'm thinking of Kuyt, Sissoko and Riise in particular.

You need better than that.

Again reality check time, our so called squad really isn't that great. I think we've got 9-10 really top players and acouple of really good prospects, but beyond that we can still really improve IMO.

Anyway bad performance tonight. Reckon we'll come out and **** Spurs big at the weekend. Anything less that 100% from the players is unacceptable.

No more champions league means no more rotations??????oh **** i forgot about the league cup and the FA cup.

[FatTony]

I still think Momo is Boss ... but he has not been himself for a long time

No, he wouldn't get in the womens world cup squad at the moment.
How many good games has he had? 2..3? Barca away was one, but the thing with Momo is its one or two great performances or complete sh*te.

[Tom]

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.

[desertscouser]

Momo can be boss, he was poor today with Gerrard with him. The pair can't work together. He needs Xabi and Gerrard needs Jefe

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.

[Imy]

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

[Joe King]

Listen guys

This isn't the priority, yes the Champions League would be good but would it 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

[Morph]

Been thinking, is having 3 defenders a blessing rather than a hinderance, it allows for less rotation but could be a good thing really. Look at our goals conceded, and that's taking into account an injury to one of them.

In comparrison in midfield we have 4 players for 2 positions and to me thats one too many, with Alonso out injured it gives more of an oportunity for sissoko to play, which at the moment is a very bad thing. If we were force to stick with Gerrard and Masch I think that would be no bad thing at the moment. Maybe draft in Lucas if we were desperate.

In short i think we should trim our squad down, loose 1 mid - sissoko, one striker - take pick from kuyt/crouch/voronin, and lose Aurelio or Riise, as Arbeloa can cover both full back positions.

****ING DISGRACEFUL

[Nicey]

Spineless shower of ****ers tonight. Discraceful performance. Havent read the thread but if anyone is banging on about the manager, or rotation, then bollocks. As people know, I defend my players, my manager and my club tooth and nail. I can accept **** form, bad luck, bad decision making etc. but what I wont accept til the day I die is fellas not giving it their all for my ****in club. I will remove Reina, Finnan and Hyppia from this criticism but the other 8 that started that game know full ****in well they did not put there best into that.

DO NOT ****IN DO THAT AGAIN YOU PASSIONLESS SPINELESS ****ERS!!!!!

Spot on ... A shower of Feckless *******s ... some of those useless ****ers deserve a football boot in the head in the dressing room after that performance .. worst European home performance I think I have ever seen .. the fact we only starting to play when the clock hit 90 minutes made it all the more infuriating

[Revo]

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.

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