In terms of our goal scoring capability, when it rains it pours.
As soon as we hit 1, the binds on our game come off and we run the ball freely

Confession time:

I got a ticket for last night's game on the automatic ticket scheme. My lad was playing footy for his school in Altrincham and the match should have finished at half past five so I travelled the 15 miles from work to watch the second half and drive him home as it was pissing down.

The other team were late so the match didn't finish until twenty to six, still 2 hours before kick off. However, by the time he'd ****ed about taking the nets down and getting changed then we'd driven home to Sale through the traffic (four miles takes about twenty five minutes), it was twenty past six. When I got home, the house was lovely and warm and the wife was just serving dinner. At that point, with the rain still pissing it down and a drive to Liverpool taking about an hour, for the first time ever I thought "**** it, I can't be arsed going"...

Until the match started I felt really guilty; apart from anything else, the ticket had cost me £34. As soon as we kicked off and I watched the game on Sky my emotions changed and I was so glad I'd copped out of going...

That's a terrible admission I know and I expect to get loads of stick for it but for once I didn't go "through the wind and rain" and, sadly, I don't regret it for one minute...

I started supporting the Pool in 1965. I can honestly say that last night was the worst, by far, performance I have ever seen from them.

The passing and first touches of most of them would be unnaccepable at my Sunday league team, and the "drive and passion" would certainly never be accepted.

I hope every single one of them wakens up this morning feeling totally ashamed of themselves.

Damn straight. You expect a bit more from millionairre professionals. Its beyond me how a team of that calibre looked so 'second division'. No passion, fire, hunger or vigour. I hope I never see something like that again from a team in an LFC shirt.

[Parm]

I couldnt believe how bad we were.

I cannot remember a worse performance than that.

What the **** were they doing out there?? Carra was ****, Gerrard was ****, Momo looked like the worst footballer of all time.

I seriously hope Rafa layed into every single one of them after the game. They looked like they didnt want to be out there

yup apart from maybe Reina and possibly Finnan, everyone was poor. Momo was appalling, completely at fault for the goal. Stevie was absent and Carra and Sami were all over the shop.
It was a very bad day at the office, but thing is, rather than it being just a one off, it seems to have been the case ever since the Pompey game. We seem to be playing in the hope that something may happen.

Why should the fans turn up when the players don't?

[Craig_H]

Why should the fans turn up when the players don't?

By that logic, during the HT interval at a game where there's been little or no atmosphere, the players would be within their rights not to come out for the 2nd half...

It wasn't meant to be logical DJS, it was an emotional outburst based on the fact that our players looked like school kids out there.

If you want logic then here it is: The players should turn up because that it what they are PAID to do and they are not paid to leave at half time. The fans should be refunded their ticket price when the they do not receive what they have purchased, specifically the right to watch a performance by Liverpool FC.

[rushscored4]

£34 seems a little bit to much to watch a team play **** football but that what we should do. Support the team when they are playing **** and excellent football. The team needs our support now more than they have in a long time.

I must admit I was expecting worse than that...

[flyboy]

TBH, i thought the away game at Porto was worse.

Last night was ****e too, mind...

We'll take 6 from Besiktas and beat Porto at home so no real bother.

porto are likely to take all points against marseille and marseille should beat besiktas at home . no real bother????

..drive
..creativity
..instant control (first touch was shocking all night)
..cohesion
..understanding
..confidence
..aggression
..desire
..authority

..positives at all from last night. Gutted.

[AFII]

The way we play now actually reminds me of the way we played the last months before Houllier was sacked.

I'm not saying that Rafa is as bad as Houllier, he is much, much better, just that we are playing the same **** football without any heart or passion at all.

We're not playing like we did under Houiller. We are playing as BAD. But our tactics and approach etc are far far different.

Surely you can see that?
