Liverpool v Havant & Waterlooville- Match Thread

[Exiled_red]

these things happen, a second choice keeper, a new defender having his very first game, a well up for it havant side who've done incredibly well to get this far anyway.

Rafa saw the problems gave the lads a bollocking, hasn't had to make any subs and has got them doing what they should be doing, so the team turned up late, at least they're here now

It's a second choice keeper we played over £1m for and a defender who is our most expensive defender and both look like they've never played football before

There's always an excuse though isn't there. They had eleven such issues cos they are a part time team.

There's no ifs and buts. What has to happen for people to say "this is unacceptable" without some half arsed excuse to justify underperformance.

I can't help thinking that a fanbase satisfied with underperformance deserve an underperforming team.

[Joe King]

You mean an International defender?

Isn't it his second game but first start?

This is poor from Skrtel. He should know better

[The Erectile Banana]

Pennant on the right, back to Mascher who smashes it high over the bar.

The crowd are willing Masher to score.

Looking less likely with each shot though.

He's becoming the new Riise.

[bigfooty]

Babel's passing really has been terrible for the most part, an attempted first time volley screws wide to Havant.

Skrtel with a poor backheader, Charlie has to hack it away as it wasn't reaching him in the box.

[Johnny]

Villa losing aswell.

[Red_Al_77]

Skrtel looks so scared.

Exactly right mate, he didn't need to change it because the 11 out there should smash this lot. If changes were made eg Skrtl coming off, his confidence goes and he will then be **** for the next 10 games. They need to learn that good performances last 90 minutes, not a second half revival, there's only so many times we'll get away with that

Then they both fit in with most of the team today.

[MARTINOZ]

Good atmosphere at the game.

[Colemere]

Yeah, but I don't want to jump on the lads back yet, he could still be good for us.

[Gazmo1]

we could win 2345-2 and I'd still be pissed off.

How the **** can a postman, bin man, school teacher, milkman, cow milker, P.E. Teacher, shelf stacker, bus driver, dog walker, dinner lady, driving instructor, van driver come to anfield and take the lead twice!!!

Save you the bother of looking. I stand by this statment too.

[desertscouser]

I feel sorry for Skirtel but it's first start and he's probably a bag of nerves. He'll be alright.

[bigfooty]

Pennant and Babel have both failed to impress in the wide areas.

Finnan cross, comes to Lucas who drives a shot wide.

[alunevans]

will read it later, i'm busy watching us winning

only for the last 20 minutes you have been
