Standard Liege - Match thread

[Craig_H]

I have not read the thread but ... this team are ****ing possibly one of the most difficult ties at this stage and from what I have seen of them, they are very dangerous, mark tightly and have a very very quick defense ... it is not our right to just turn up and be given the win .. this team have earned my respect and we will have to find a way to beat them simply as ...

Now is not the time for weak ****wits .. stand tall stand strong behind the team .... onward to Victory !!
MAN UP

It's not about being handed a win, but tidy side or not, they're not at our level and we should beat them comfortably at home.

no but rafa is responsible for training, setting the direction of play and making the team play football.

can you honestly think an arsenal/chelsea/man utd team would play like this agaisnt this team?

every single person who comments on our games who is not associated with the club understands our problems.

its about time we did, and stopped being so ****ing defensive.

Yes,seen them all have shockers.

[BubbaZanetti]

Babel & El Zhar for 2nd half please

[Rashid]

Let's look at it logically. Liege have is closed down through the middle and have forced us down the wings. They aren't allowing us to play a passing game.

It's their fault, they aren't allowing us to play our passing game? Astonishing comments.

[Laz]

why do you get so much stick, you consistently post the most sensbile thought out arguments. It just seems everyone has a hard on for benitez?

If you actually tried to make well thought out and constructed arguments than you might get a little more attention paid to your posts. Your posts are more like working in a sewer, after a while you get used to the **** and just ignore it.

[sinbad]

I wondered when you'd come out of the woodwork. I thought you might do the decent thing and keep it until the end of the game.

Not sure what Sunday League and Alehouse football you have been watching but it doesn't resemble what we are watching so stop being so dramatic.

Stop and think for a second Rash, Standard Liege are actually a better side and are containing us really well. We are trying to play wide instead and making a ****ing hash of it.

We have the rest of the game so let's watch first and moan later,

You need to take that head out of the sand. 5 years on and we're still being served the same narrow, no width hoofball garbage we were getting from Houllier.

[vlahka]

Yeah I'm done. 5:30am for me and I'm tired of watching 70% of our game be the defenders passing side to side amongst each other until the crowd start booing. That happens almost every game I swear. Hope we win, night all.

You need to do some reading. Use the search facilty or use 'Threads started by 'Rashid'.

The world will then be your oyster.

I dont go with that, they are a good side, with good players playing well, we have to win this game thats the only show in town ...

[Craig_H]

Their working hard and closing us down, to counter this, we need to raise the tempo, inject some movement and play a bit of one or two touch and use the full width of the park.

[Leyton388]

**** it gonna put the crime channel on and watch some murders but leave the game on mute

It's not about anyone going with it, we ARE far superior to them and it's a side we should be beating. That's surely factual. They're a side who have never been in the Champions League in their history. Where do you think they'd finish in the premier league?

[Lee]

Would like to see Babel and/or El Zhar on early in the second half.

Unbearable to think about what the commentator said about us - that we could be in the UEFA Cup draw on Friday. Come on lads, lets ****in' gub 'em

[Gazmo1]

You need to take that head out of the sand. 5 years on and we're still being served the same narrow, no width hoofball garbage we were getting from Houllier.

You need to realise that it isn't our given right to be in the Champions League proper and Liege are the better team and are containing us and not letting us play our game.

I'm sure you loved the FA Cup, European Cup and the Euro Final and semi Final. Would Houllier have got us there? Quit living in the past and support your team. It is half time for godsake and you are crying.

[SimonNo7]

we need to raise the tempo, inject some movement and play a bit of one or two touch and use the full width of the park.

The trouble is we do not seem capable of this at the moment. We don’t seem to be able to create space for each other which ends up with us playing sideways or worse than that backwards.
