Liverpool vs Sunderland Match Thread

[Gazmo1]

forget singling out individual players we are not good enough period and haven't been for a while. I'm entitled to say how pissed off I am.

[Mattshark]

Yes, but many seem to be wallowing in it.

[spud_gun]

Square pegs round holes

[Exiled_red]

More of that Pennant, lad.

Nice wing play

He needs to stay wide more to stretch them, coming inside he doesn't cause any problems

[Shanks65]

Babel surely to come on in the 2nd half.

[vonk]

Poor again from Carra. WTF? He's no fullback.

[Imy]

Watching the late 80's team, what really struck me was how Steve McMahon always offered himself to th man on the ball, contrast that to the current lot and its like the difference between night and day.

[RoadEnd]

Bring on Kuyt

We're really missing him today

[bigfooty]

Sunderland are defending well, but we have no width at all down the left. Nothing. More clueless shoehorning of players into a team.

Almost break through the middle, good defending.

Sunderland give it away, Gerrard comes forward, finds Lucas but it bounces off him and Sunderland clear.

Lucas muscled off the ball on a throw.

[Nic83]

an out and out defender at right back and a central midfielder on the wing against a team that were obviously going to come and set up camp in their third. Any surprise the game has been so dour and devoid of chances? NO.

I really would like to be able to actually ask Benitez what his thinking behind this team selection was.

Wait until you see the difference when Babel comes on.

[Mattshark]

Mate, it's the most clueless line up I've ever seen. Disgraceful selection from Rafa. I'm growing more and more fond of the thoughts of anew manager by the day.

:whatever:

So how often does Babel start and make an impression?
Pennant has also been one of our better players today.

[bigfooty]

Half-Time, 0-0, fans look very unhappy. A few boos.

[spud_gun]

A few boo's as the half time whilst went.

[Imy]

Crowd look pleased, so MUCH entertainment

[vonk]

Only one positive. Good game for Skrtyl to come in for.

Pretty poor fare though.
