Middlesbrough v Liverpool match thread

[bigfooty]

Arbeloa off.

[SimonNo7]

i'm sorry, I must have missed the full time whistle

:whatever:

No you haven’t but you’ve got admit it doesn’t look good and our lot surely aren’t filling you with a great deal of optimism at the moment especially if they come out and play the same way in the second half!

[Matt]

**** me. A substitution!!

[Red_Al_77]

Riise to LB Arbeloa off Babel on.

[Alonso]

PIGEON

[kopash]

Arbeloa off! Watch Riise cost us a goal in the 2nd half now ha ha

[carlton]

fuc*k me i dont believe it a sub at the start of the 2nd half

[disco]

Babel on.... but for the wrong player.

Although Arbeloa was poor also.

Rafa's doing his job - let's see how the second half goes.

[Craig_H]

Bollocks. Its playing like ****e that'll do that.

Well yeah, but if the attitude is 'everything is ok', then they'll just carry on playing ****e.

[CharlieMansonsSquint]

I suppose you think that the players live in some kind of bubble. That was a performance of a team (a club) totally preoccupied.

Well they aren't professionals then.

Or maybe they just don't give a ****.

But I know nothing about behind the scenes or whtever the **** that means.

I see them playing like ****e and some not even trying and I wonder what the ****'s going on.

They're a ****in disgrace, Rafa included for that first half.

[bigfooty]

Voronin trys to play in Yossi, goes behind him and away.

Fairclough says "Rafa not brave enough" to make 2 changes.

[Armchairkopite]

Aggers loss this season has been the turning point for me. We have had to change the way we play. Rafas style is compact you cant play that with no pace at the back.

Gerrard needs to lead as well.

[L10]

C'mon REDS lets's show these shower of Batards that WE ARE LIVERPPOL

[CharlieMansonsSquint]

Rightr ****in c'mon you reds, gibe us a goal liverpool

[RedProf]

Its no wonder we've performed ****e when you havent got a full 11 functioning. The few attackers we've had continuosly break down when the ball gets to the LM or Support Striker. Not surprised - Riise and Voronin. They should be nowhere near the 1st team squad on a performance like this, I'd rather see some young lads given a go.

At long last Rafa makes a change at HT.

But does anyone think we will play better 2nd half? Seems if we play **** 1st half we continue it 2nd unlike the Scum or Arse.
