Liverpool vs Sunderland Match Thread

[The Erectile Banana]

Yes I understand unrest and tension, however we are controlling this game, and unsuprisingly Sunderland are defending very deep and in games like this sometimes paitence is needed.

Sunderland are defending well but we're not exactly battering their door down.

More knocking on it gently in the hope we don't wake them up.

[Reece]

Lucas showing good glimpses but is lingering on the ball too often.

Skrtel is ****ing quick. In a couple of years time him an Agger will make an awesome partnership IMO.

Sunderland have defended well to be fair, but we are not creating enough. Still optimistic that we'll win though.

Babel or Benny on please.

[Imy]

Well the welsh should be happy they're battering the English at Twickenham.

See Rafa look what you've made me in to...aaaaaaahhhhhh

[Alpha]

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.

He only picks the team mate - it is the players themselves who are underperforming.

[JohnDoe]

Skrtel has been good, so has Hyypia.

Carragher has been atrocious, not surprising.

Gerrard and Mascherano have been hopeless in the middle, Gerrard did two good moves this half.

Lucas is lost on the left. Pennant working hard but no full back to help him. Torres and Crouch had very little service, if at all.

Poor game.

[slimbimjim]

Man that was a **** half. Carra looks **** as does Aurelio.

Gerrard has been caught out a few times.

Front runners for MOM = Mascher, Pennant, Hyypia.

[MascheredUp]

Another load of ****e I'm afraid.

How do we expect to break down a well drilled two banks of four defending Sunderlands goal with our dross, clueless one dimensional passing and hoofing?

Took us 37 mins to register our only attempt on goal and over 40 for our first corner.

**** me. Pennant and Lucas have been sleeping out there.

Our players to to ****ing wise up.

[The Erectile Banana]

Skrtel has looked fairly impressive so far.

Good to see him get over his first game jitters.

[dom9]

Another turgid performance in the first half.

Pennant is our best player.

Sunderland defeding well, but they're not too stretched.

Lucas is not a left midfielder.

[Montana]

Rafa hasn't helped the team today by putting Carra at right-back and Lucas left midfield. I still think we'll win though, maybe 2-0. We need Babel or Benni on straightaway for Lucas.

[Nic83]

:whatever:

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

where did I argue against the inclusion of pennant? It's about the only thing Rafa got right you tool :whatever:

Do you know anything about football? you obviously don't if you can't see the benefits of what babel would bring to a game like this? Are you Rafa?

[Imy]

He only picks the team mate - it is the players themselves who are underperforming.

Lucas on the left, Carra on at right back. Sorry you don't need much brain to know in the current formation this will NEVER work.

[Guest]

You happy witht he line up then yeah?

Even if we win 4-0, it's a stupid line up for this type of game.

Get on with supporting the team. That's a stupid comment from you.

Poor game.

That about sums it up for me.

[Jayesh87]

We are ****.

Long ball merchants who play crap, boring football.
Carra is **** at RB.
Lucas is **** at LM.
Crouch and Pennant are trying.

Time for Rafa to go.
