Liverpool vs Hull - Match thread

[Daffy Duck]

Our Slovenian commentator is blubbering something about how Škrtel can't speak English enough to communicate with Carra and that's supposed to be the reason for all these defensive problems he has... Any truth in this? Carra's accent is hard to understand even if you do speak English, so all of this doesn't sound too unreasonable

[wiw]

**** off Riera, ****ing twice that you soft arse

[tsb]

Liverpool old boys Mellor and Welsh on target for their respective clubs today.

[EwarWoo]

Torres looking VERY hungry today. Nice

[Leyton388]

Don't know what is up with our defending this season but that 10 goals we have let in so far. I hope Agger makes a difference when he returns.

Igor and rumours are " ".

I'm concerned. We need a goal quick in the second half or we'll be in trouble. Hull have a decent set of players on attack and our central defence is looking extremely ****. Every high ball in the box is met with panic.

Not happy, especially with Skrtel.

Attacking wise, we're class. Torres is class. Benayoun is class. Insua is a monster. Gerrard just a bit too quiet. Lucas is doing well. I don't feel Masch is missing at all.

[Redspin]

Rafa dropping Mascherano is a very good decision. What I love about Rafa is that he doesn't seem to have any favourites this season. He's not scared to drop or substitute anyone if he doesn't perform. I remember him putting Babel on for Kuyt against West Ham when everyone was expecting Benayoun to come off.

Clearly he sees Gerrard-Masch as a problem, which it is.

Alternatively, you're way off beam and Rafa has one eye on the CL in midweek and wants to rest him. He was excellent at West Ham last week so your "doesn't perform" criticism looks a bit odd

[Pablo]

We should have this game done and dusted by now

Torres is looking back to his absolute best though!


Odds on for the hatrick!

spot on

I'd like to be a couple up going into the last 10-15 mins. Haven't got any confidence in our defence at all, need to put this to bed asap

Masch is a liability when we have the ball.

Carra a fault for the goal, becoming a major concern now.

[zimbo]

That second from Torres reminded me a lot of a goal Kenny scored in a FA Cup Semi v United in 1979. Swivelled past defenders, round the keeper and knocked it. home. Although Kenny had a bit more work to do, as I recall. So perhaps not that similar after all.

I'll shut up.

[certifiable]

So anyone got a recommendation for the best stream.

I caught first half on sopcast, 65179. (Dazzler 1)
But the screen is tiny and when I try to enlarge, or open in media player the stream fails

Any particular one all you lot are watching on?
Are you watchin it in a reasonable size window??
Would like a better alternative for the 2nd half, if poss.

[Lee]

Torres is ****in amazing.

Concerned about our defence again after watching Geovanni's goal. We're making far too many schoolboy errors at the back.
