Liverpool v Reading- Match Thread

[kurtangle01]

It's not been pretty has it?

We're capable of playing better but I'm sure Rafa will re-jig a few things at half time.

At least we managed to pull level. Good goal aswell.

[Marky]

Good to hear the reds fans in full voice. Some brilliant renditions a couple of minutes ago.

I think they've been pretty quiet tbh.

[desertscouser]

Let me guess, the Sisokoo FK wasn't a foul?

Momo definitelyfouled that reading player.

But seriously, even the commentators (as well as the lads on 606) think you're wrong. I bet Torres, Carra and Rafa think you're wrong as well.

[Sprouty]

Referee is a ****in ****house.

Still we can't blame him for the performance. Below par.

Formation hasn't helped.

Go back to 4-4-2 get Babel and Kewell on, Voronin and Sissoko off.

[Marky]

We need ALOT more urgency in our play to get the three points here.
Momo's touch has been awful throughout the first half.
Lets get the passing goal and get create a few chances.

i'm inclined to agree with that mate. we need a bit of width. and arbeloa is having his worst game for a while

I agree aswell, Sammy.

The ref and his assistant need tought what a penalty actually is. If they can't even get the basics like that right then they shouldn't be in the game.

[desertscouser]

I can't belive you've just said that. I am normally the one who has a go at the many liverpool supporters for being so bias at times. To say Reading's penalty was correct is ridiculous. The challeneg was clearly outside the box. Whether the reading defender fell inside the box is neither here or there.

Marcus, let them watch the replays. Impossible to make the wrong judjement after watching them....even Operation will admit that his twin's cocked up twice.

Is that supposed to shake his opinion? What are you trying to do, make him out as a **** supporter because he might disagree with Torres and Rafa? FFS...

[marcus50bucks]

There's a lot of blinkered people here. There's was a pen, the torres incident wasn't. That's my opinion based on what I saw, not what I wanted to happen.

I am not blinkered at all mate. You clearly don't know the rules. The player was fouled outside the box but when he fell he was inside the area. However it still doesn't mean it's a penalty as you have to look at where the initial challenge took place.

[Red_Al_77]

Hahhaha at some of you arguing. Replays have clearly shown Carra made contact outside the box, and in the Torres one their player made contact with the ball as he stood on Torres foot. We haven't played well and don't deserve much more than what we have got.

[fowlen]

Very poor first half.
Very surprised by Rafa's selection with no wide man.
Defenselooking pretty ordinary.

I would expect us to get better in the second and would assume Kewell and Babel will be on....I think this pair fresh and stong could take Reading apart in the second half.

Still dunno how Momo gets a game!

[rage]

crouch has hardly touched the ball. neither has voronin. not sure what formation we're playing but its not working. i'd take sissoko and vornonin/crouch off and have babel and kewell on - with a bit of width we'll destroy these in the second half

[ronan]

whoops sorry marcus quoted wrong person there

[Gazzla]

The standard of refereeing has been complete wank throughout.

Defensively Reading look all over the place especially Sonko, stick Crouch up top with Torres, take off Voronin and Sissoko and relace them with Babel and Kewell and we will rip this lot apart.
