Besiktas - Match Thread

[bigfooty]

Besiktas get a corner from a free-kick, Finnan swipes at a tame shot and it dribbles out for a corner.

Corner headed out, drops to Cisse who smashes it just over with a well taken effort.

Babel has got the pace to beat some of these guys, as the game goes on he could really have some joy. He's already drifted past a couple of them when on the ball as if they were in concrete boots.

gerrard off , sissoko on

[bigfooty]

We're playing at a high tempo but the final ball is being too rushed at times.

Kuyt with a woeful pass trying to get Riise going on the left.

rubbish passing.....is it that hard to find a red shirt?

I would take off Voronin and put on Lucas. Pennant out and Alonso in could be another option with Gerrard moving to the right.

I wish carragher would stop hitting it long..

[Shanks]

This is becoming very frustrating to watch.

[Red_Al_77]

Good isn't it? Not.

Best not say anything for fear of upsetting certain people.

[bigfooty]

Awful ball by Sami, Besiktas fortunately are too head-down and don't make most of it.

Kuyt caught on the ankles.

Whistles from the crowd, Gerrard plays a deft ball to Voronin but he almost stands on it and it screws off him for a throw.

Besiktas forced into a change for a knock.

Is there a reason why Benayoun isn't on th ebench? Is he injured?

[BubbaZanetti]

The sort of game that Benayoun would have been perfect for
Sub Voronin for Benayoun and play Babel up front
