craig burley - "expert" analysis

all 3 f uckin love it when we get beat and burley from the 1st minute was a prick toward us.

maybe i just cant take gettin beaten but 3 fu ckin w ankers of the first order

[Sir Bob]

Was it financial resources that lead to him picking Crouch as a left-winger today?

He tried the same sort of rubbish tactics against Arsenal with Kuyt and Voronin playing in wide positions and we got passed off the park at times - AT HOME - by a team that cost far less than ours to assemble. Ripped apart down the wings too.

We are a better side when we play 4-4-2, even with forcing players like Babel and Yossi to play in wide positions that they aren't used to.

The fact is the "formation" limited us and when the changes came we completely lost our shape as people seemed to be half sticking to the formation, half doing their own thing.

Rafa often baffles me with his tactics and today was no exception. I wouldn't have played Crouch out wide today. However, to expect Rafa to construct a team to win the league against teams with much greater resources is asking a great deal. It can be done, Wengers done it but in my view if anyone can emulate him its Rafa.

Yeah, stick yer boot into Rafa mate.
You have been quiet for a while now.

Here is your chance.

[blacky]

We will win on Tuesday if the ref allows us to do it. The ref today didn't.

It's like groundhog day here.........if you say it 100 times it still wont be a valid statement

I read the teamsheet with relish today,bad performances,dodgy decisions and the woodwork didn`t help our cause!!!!!

Any news on the Torres injury?

[Kopite_Colin]

Rafa said on Setanta that we had no injuries.

[Danish_Pastry]

We mad scandos must stick together.

Riise out of position again by the way in the Carra penalty decision.

YEP we have to...

Two not-given penos against Torres (one more obvious than the other, yes), and one given against Carra not being there. Then in the 80' minute a readingplayer kick the ball away from a placed freekick-ball just outside LFCs peno-area, and Masch is rigthly getting mad that he doesn't get a yellow.

This ref. had home-side glasses on today - no doubt!

Oh, so why did he take Torres and Gerrard off?

[Kopite_Colin]

No idea - but he said it more than once in his post match interview. Positives...no injuries and no yellow cards...

[Joe King]

Oh, so why did he take Torres and Gerrard off?

Torres had a kick no problem according to Rafa. Gerrard was protected

[bigfooty]

Oh, so why did he take Torres and Gerrard off?

He said post-game that he didn't think he could change the match anymore so he was saving the players for the Tuesday game. It was a bit confusing, he was pretty much admitting the game was over.
