Middlesbrough v Liverpool match thread

absolute ****e.

again.

[cobain]

Bull**** of all the bull****s. Mancs will beat Barcodes and gain points on us and Arsenal. Bollocks!

Pissed me off that their 19 yr old rookie LB will never have an easier game in the Prem than today. Not once did anyone have a go at him. What was probably a weak link in their line up was never tested.

[kopash]

Disgraceful. So few players cared today.

We need Agger back ASap. Fed up of all the hoofing from the back.

Finnan/Riise/Arbeloa all poor as well.

What has happened to Alonso? He has looked awful the last few games he has played.

This season is a write off again.

Thank god for Torres

On another day it wouldn't be a bad result. If we were winning our home games I'd take the point but it's how we are performing that worries me. Over reliant on Torres. This is why he left Athletico. He deserves better. Rafa is inviting the media pressure. Whether we like it or not we are struggling bigtime on and off the pitch. Don't accuse me of over reacting please I am calling a spade a spade. Something is not right.

We didn't play that bad,no?

I don't think it's the Mancs and the Arse we should be worrying about at this stage of the season.

More like Citeh and the Bitters.

Bad result. We need to improve considerably to stay in top 4. All our rivals are on form.

I agree with that, we need to now make sure we stay in the top 4!

City, Everton & Villa all on same points, Villa coming up next weekend....

What frustrates me most is Rafa's team selections and his insistance on playing Voronin and Riise. It must be obvious to him that neither are up to it at this stage. Sell them both this window get a half decent fee and rebuild. We are out of the title race now absolutely. It's a race for CL qualification yet again. Not good enough but it's a fact so we need to move on and focus on improving the team. I'm a big fan of Rafa and he deserves our support but time is running out for him. Next season will be massive for him either way.

[Marky]

Well there is something very wrong at Liverpool at the moment. It's clear from Gerrard's performance that something is amiss. 4 draws on the trot against not-that-good teams shows that we have problems. No wonder goal from Torres can hide this.

Oh and Gerrard.....football games last 90mins. You are suppose to start playing from the first whistle not the 85th min. SG is becoming some sort of headline grabber. He needs to sort himself out and then his team mates will follow.

I wouldn't read much into that, he's ofetn a moody, moany, miserable, arrogant, lazy c.u.n.t in certain games but yeah something is not right
within the camp.
Worrying times to be a Liverpool fan.

I can't see why he insist on playing players who are not upto it, every single one of us can see that Riise and Voronin are not upto the standards, surely Rafa, who is training them everyday must see this...

Most teams have us sussed now as well, cut-out Torres and keep an eye on Stevie....Bound to get a draw...
