Middlesbrough v Liverpool match thread

[bigfooty]

Arbeloa looks shaky, gives it away, we scramble it clear.

Hoof from Carragher. Again

[CharlieMansonsSquint]

Boro are getting it down and playing it.

We aren't.

It's painful to watch.

Another hoof.

[kopash]

Arbeloa has been awful so far

[AussieKewell]

Not long before Rafa gives up.....if he hasn't already....the knives are being sharpened...

They are already very sharp

[Craig_H]

I'm starting to wonder if some of the players really follow Rafa's orders.

Maybe it's rafa's orders that are fecked up?

[ForeverRed]

Has Rafa lost the ability to motivate his players?

Something to do with not having a proper assistant I believe


(As benayoun has a shot....good save)

[CharlieMansonsSquint]

Surely there has to be changes at half time this time?

I mean surely?

[AFII]

I can understand why Rafa want Garay. We need much better ball controlling defenders.

[Craig_H]

Has Rafa lost the ability to motivate his players?

I dont think he was ever that great at it.

Bad day at the office so far

[bigfooty]

Our best chance of the half but its offside, cross came in and Yossi overheads it into their keeper who blocked well. Israeli was offside.

[disco]

Great shot from Benny. He's been good... when he's had the ball

[Craig_H]

Something to do with not having a proper assistant I believe

Why should losing pako mean rafa cant motivate the players?

Im sick to death of the hoofing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
