Liverpool v Havant & Waterlooville- Match Thread

[Biff]

Evening if we win 6-2 its still rubbish. If it goes on any further the manager won't see out the season let alone the summer.

I would be shocked if Rafa was still in charge next season even if he won both the FA Cup and Champions League.......

[MrMichael]

Derby 3-0 down to Preston; crikey, they're almost as bad as..... us

[FatTony]

Whats it going to say if we have to bring on SG and Torres to beat this lot????

Inter must be ****ting bricks....

[Tom]

Yes, yes, but how are you and your like minded friends going to find a way to blame the owners for this?

That post makes absolutely no sense whatsover Nial. Are you pissed or something?

[wavydavy]

The fact that you have to ask for that against a team of part timers who are midtable and non league is frankly a ****ing disgrace and cannot be defended by anybody, no matter how highly they rate Rafa.

Rafa ain't got the off the pitch problems to hide behind any more. It's about time he started ****tin' or get of the pot.

fair ****in play to havant here, they deserve everything theyve got at the moment. worked there bollocks off and attacked as a unit.

we have been ****, skrtel is shockingly poor.

they will tire and the big guns will come on and hammer them but they have earnt my upmost respect. Unlike our shower of gob****es.

Not an overreaction, but we are slowly becoming a laughing stock.

slowly?? as slowly as an express train maybe.

be honest, if you'd just bought the club and the following happened

a) danger of not making it through to champions league stages (as was the case)
b) danger of not finishing top 4
c) being 2-2 at half time against part timers
d) playing one up front against wigan and against havant

would you start looking around for other managers, cos to be honest i would. i just wouldn't be looking at the likes of klinsmann.

i lost faith with rafa after wigan. it's only the owners being who they are that has made me want him to stay put. if they weren't in control i'd be shaking his hand, thanking him for istanbul and waving him off with good wishes.

this simply can not go on. all excuses ring so very hollow now to me.

ffs lads its the fa cup,we were all going on about the magic of the fa cup this morning and how great these guys are for getting this far.

well its true,and these things happen in the fa cup,they shouldnt but they do,yes we are playing crap but we`l win.

just put it down to the magic of the fa cup and give havant some credit as well.

we`l win,dont worry.

I presrcibe a HT wank for you all, far too much testosterone on here. Chill out, we'll win this easy enough in the second half

Watching the match on a espn link. Regardless of how it finishes, this has been an embarasing display. Liverpool are lucky to be level. Serious questions have to be asked of the manager and the palyers, not the owners!

Absolute shocking display.

[Taffy]

I'm stuck in work all day today but have been catching up on the net - this is unbelieveable stuff, and against a team of part-timers!

As has already been said, LFC have become a laughing stock, and as a fan it is not funny!

I'll just be happy to progress now, even if it's just 3-2 to us - it's so embarassing!

A week ago I said Rafa was using the upheaval behind the scenes to mask the problems on the pitch and I was shot down in flames. I also said Mascherano wasn't a world class 'complete midfielder' worth £17m as he wasn't good enough going forward. Again I was ridiculed.

I hate being one of those smug *******s who says "I told you so" but... I told you so.

Evening if we win 6-2 its still rubbish. If it goes on any further the manager won't see out the season let alone the summer.

Rafa will be held accountable ultimately but my **** that lets the players off the hook big time this is not the first time they have performed like this and I'm not gonna put all the blame on Rafa.
They should be able to go out and beat this team without even breaking sweat.

[Joe King]

If Jocky is doing MOTD, I can't wait to see what he says about the shambles of what is such a water-tight defence.

Merson is a ****ing cunt. He was goading Thommo like Havant are beating us in the Champions League final. ****ing cunt. I hate the ****ing cunt. **** head.

[desertscouser]

Considering the ethos of our manager and his management style, I'd say it's the latter.

We made the European Cup final last May, and now we're as poor as this today?

Think about it, if you were a player like Crouch, would you respect the manager if he "rotated" you out of the side when you were scoring?

It's a shambles. I never expected us to be this bad today. Never in a million years.

These sort of performances are reminiscent of those we became accustomed to under the misguidance of Houllier. I hope for Rafa's sake the team starts to perform or else the Yanks will pull the trigger.
