Middlesbrough v Liverpool match thread

Great play by Babel... **** cross though

[ronniedrew]

we cannot string 2 passes together, there is something seriously wrong with our beloved club at the moment

babels final ball is poor once again

[Bob]

I have a sickening feeling we'll have a new manager before the end of this season.

Surely the players are not giving their all at the moment. Regardless of what we the fans think, if you lose the dressing room, it's a long way back.

[The Erectile Banana]

I don't say this lightly but I think it's time we brought Kuyt on.

He can't do any worse than Voronin.

[Red_Al_77]

Jesus Christ! What sort of cross was that by Babel!?!

[AussieKewell]

This game is OVER

[bigfooty]

This is as bad as anything I remember watching under Houllier.

It has to be put into context. Boro have won twice at home all season yet look comfortable here.

Babel wins a header and breaks into space, comes to nothing, Boro break, Pepe has to race out and deal with it.

[CharlieMansonsSquint]

Even Alonso has caught the disease

[AFII]

is torres alone then or is gerrard playing that front man role that i've never seen him play well in? whats the formation after the alonso change?

Some kind of 4-3-2-1 with the two supporting strikers playing out wide.

[ForeverRed]

For **** sake

[ronniedrew]

second to every ball , downing hits the inside of teh post!!!!

[thesilverfoxlfc]

Boro hit the post fooking ref block Xabis pass

[Craig_H]

Boro hit post, O'neill skies the rebound. Lucky not to be 2-0 down.

[Red_Al_77]

We are terrible. We can't even pass out of defence.

[bigfooty]

O'Neil into Tuncay, cuts it back, Downing strikes and hits the post, comes out and rebound put over from 18 yards with Pepe on the ground. Should have been 2-0 and a nail in the coffin for Rafa.
