Sunderland vs Liverpool Match Thread

[Red Chilli]

The team out there today is as bad if not worse than a lot of the dross we saw under Houllier and Souness.

[Lee]

Pathetic.

It's over! 4th defeat of the season

[Slim]

It's over. 3rd defeat in a row. Season hanging by a thread.

Have a great Saturday night everyone!!!

Back to the good old days - out of the title race by October

3 in a row! That'll get you the sack at Barcelona

[RedProf]

That's it title over by mid October as far as I can see, barring us going on pretty much an unbeaten run til the end of the season with us winning just about all games, which is so unlikely as the margin for error is just too small. How gutting to see us go backwards after such a great year.

[Rich]

Poor performances from all our forward players today.

We're playing with forwards?!

[el matador]

if we lose against united next week then it should be all over for benitez.

[vonk]

Title over. Scathing reflection on Rafa's squad. The players he bought are not good enough. Babel and Aurelio were simply shocking. Cannot defend Rafa any more. We will struggle for fourth.

[Icon]

Maybe we can be a cup team this year.

We certainly are NOT a league team...

[SimonNo7]

Below Sunderland, embarrassing!!!

[Exiled_red]

cant wait for rafa's post match excuse

Beachball and tiredness due to international duty and fixture schedule is my guess

[JohnDoe]

Lost to every half decent team we've played this season and barely beat the ones who weren't absolutely terrible.

[Red Chilli]

if we lose against united next week then it should be all over for benitez.

With a 5 year contract sitting in his back pocket? I doubt it mate

[Johnny H]

I'm not going to start with a 'Rafa Out!' rant, but I honestly wouldn't be upset it he went.

Ah, sod it.
Rafa out!
