Boro (h) Post match thread

After your attacks on Plessis I find this kind of funny.

Alonso struggled because our midfield was over run today.
People are looking to blame anybody but Rafa!

Alonso has established himself and is a top player. Plessis is not going to make it. I gave my honest opinion on Plessis and I will stick by it.
I dont think he has anything about him and can see us making a few quid off him by selling him. I prefer Spearing out of the two of them

I am in the keep Alonso camp but the amount of times I screamed at the TV today cursing him was scary. Two short corners which he over hit. 3 or 4 standard corners which couldn't beat the first man, losing the ball in midfield on numerous occasions including for the goal, passes that went out to the right touchline which went over the heads of the heads of whoever it was intended for straight into touch. He was not the only Liverpool player who was poor today but he was by far the worst.

He is poor at set pieces and should not be allowed take them. He is consistently bad at them infact. Ya he had a poor day but he did some good things also.

Very good finish by Gerrard

And Dosena's head wound was stitched up very tightly by the medic...

I'm not blaming Alonso, he was only one of a right few players under par today. I just cant understand someone slating a kid who has played well in a defensive midfield role and hardly gave the ball away then wonders why people attack someone like Alonso for having a bad match
I wont lie I would have preferred to have Barry but Alonso can be world class in certain instances against the right sides and more than happy he plays for us. With Mascher back I think we might see the better parts of Alonso again specially with more movement up front with Babel, an injury free Gerrard and a confident Keane.
Why should people be looking to blame Rafa, we havent been playing the best but top of the league and two wins. His hands have been tied by how he can play with the Olympics and new signings settling in. Hopefully we can move forward with more confidence and regain the shape that finished the league so well last year.
