I'm depressed, fact!

and we're not? i've had a bloody migraine all day and had to make do with watching interrupted coverage on a 6 by 4 inch window on my laptop instead of the pub. at least i won't have a headache in the morning...

[Rafael Benítez Maudes]

i hope this turns into the best thing that could have happened.


maybe the owners were watching

maybe rafa will talk

maybe they will open their handbags

and maybe they will sign us david villa.

maybe just maybe

we will win the league.

cunts.

Got to drop Gerrard back until Aquilani is fit, Even though Lucas had a half decent game.

Or maybe Rafa will play Yossi Benayoun from the start.

55 more times saying that and I might be content.

Benny was OK, the rest were ****e. I think someone forgot to tell the boys that pre-season is over, we were so slow out of the blocks today.

Rafa wanted to rotate a bit because we're playing 3 games in one week plus with the internationals last week. He's trying to protect the players FFS, it's not one game which counts but ****ing 38.

You dont think Glen Johnson was good then? Strange

Lucas played well for me

Poor game, we were pretty terrible at times. Carra was particularly poor for me

Carra was struggling with a thigh injury.

You don't rotate your best player at the moment.

having a **** off headache and staples in your head wouldn't contribute? I thought he made some good blocks and did well to stop defoe and take the yellow. shame we didn't defend the resulting free kick. as for the other centre back, grow some balls.

Poor management from rafa all around.
firstly with transfers ,no immediate replacement for alonso and then totally relying on only gerrard and torres up front

Player selection ,starting babel over benayoun was a daft decision and sticking with him for 65 min when the whole world could see that he was **** was even more shocking.

tactically when looked like headless chickens out there especially in the first half...,looked like a bunch of strangers playing for the first time.pre season's poor form has carried on and rafa didnt have a clue today

win the league with what we saw today???hell no

Worried about Carra. Never looked right after he smashed his head, which is understandable...he looked like he picked up a thigh strain late on as well- wasn't moving well..

We need one more CB ffs.. Ayala didn't do too badly, but we still need cover.

Our fullbacks were good though.. both of them..

oh and phil dowd gave us nothing unless it was near our own box!!! Torres was not protected at all!

[Fierce]

Carra was struggling with a thigh injury.

How do you know that? He didn't look like he was struggling, just not very good though i'm willing to concede that clashing heads with Skrtel had an effect
