Middlesbrough v Liverpool match thread

[CharlieMansonsSquint]

Riise looking like the pub player he is.

[AFII]

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

I doubt that he would feck it up game after game. One game maybe, but not game after game.

[Red_Al_77]

Riise is getting worse...if that is possible.

[shanklyn]

Hardly any of our first 11 today have the ability to retain possesion or even make a half decent pass. We cant carry on like this for much longer ...........

[Bob]

This is end of the Houllier years bad.

It's worse.

Benni had a half-chance that could have papered overa dismal show.

Riise's been pathetic.

Carra clatters into Tuncay, free-kick in a good position for Boro.

35 yards out, right side, perfect for left-footer.

We try to break after dealing well with the free-kick but Boro get a foot in to slow us down.

[kev776]

Has Rafa lost the ability to motivate his players?

Did he ever have it? that I believe was Pacos job and it is evident it isnt going on now

[blacky]

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

Maybe Rafa thinks Sami and Carra's best days are behind them. Foresight is key in management. Garay, Agger, Skrtl all young players and the future (if we signed Garay that is)

[Red Star]

Voronin off...NOW, Rafa, not in the 75th min.

[thesilverfoxlfc]

Torres did great there but others let him down

[glynner]

torres feeds voronin

great block by huth

[Craig_H]

I doubt that he would feck it up game after game. One game maybe, but not game after game.

It's not 'game after game' as such, but i dont see why you think he wouldnt get it wrong more than just one game.

[disco]

Torres gives me a brief stirring in my pants, sets up Voronin but great tackle

[bigfooty]

A diving Sami cuts out a dangerous ball.

Torres on the left, good run, cuts it back to Voronin but Wheater puts in a good tackle to deny him the chance.

[Red_Al_77]

****ING SUPPORT TORRES!

Bollocks by Liverpool.
