Liverpool vs Birmingham City Match Thread

[Mike]

Johnson was class, Insua was poor imo.

Luck is just not on our side.

our defending has cost us again, a set-piece , its just shows you how unorganised we are at the back, ****ing dreadfull
how bad is skrytl?, he seems to have lost his head, rash challenges, woeful passing from the back (lead to the birmingham second), he looks like a footballer that hasnt got much upstairs

although we should have won, we concedde absolute ****e, disgusted again , if you cant defend , you dont deserve to win, shocking .......

[SimonNo7]

67% possession
14 shots on target
13 shots off target
Birmingham 2 shots on target and 3 off target

Says it all

Does indeed, does indeed!

un****ing-believable..77% possession and we can't score ,a point from a dive.

gutted

lots of effort but we've either got to slaughter the 100 goats or kuyt to break the curse.

honestly, kuyt is a weak link. he was awful tonight. slow on the ball, lack of intelligence, poor choice of ball time after time. when he nicks a goal he earns his position otherwise he offers nothing but effort. effort alone isn't always enough.

i was disappointed in the lack of quality second half but i think the players were as stunned as us after that first half.

A draw, at home to ****e. Just not good enough again. We just don't have the cutting edge without Torres. Take Torres out of our team and we have the attacking lineup of a bottom half of the PL team, and it's showing.

We mullered them for 90 minutes and one great strike and a stinking moment of poor defending cost us. In general our attacking play was good.

I think we played well today in an attacking sense we were poor in defence though an that was costly.

I think we played very well today, tried to keep our composure (which we did) and passed it around and created numerous chances. Couldn't take them. It was like Fort Alamo out there.

Apart from being able to put the ball in the back of the net, which is just a minor thing!

It seriously lacked invention in terms of movement. All the players (if there were any) moved towards the same area, no front post, back post, late runners. Variety wins games.

Football is nearly ruining my life.

This is the worst season i can remember in a long long time. Losing xabi and Sami has seriously ****ed the balance of the team up as well as the influence sami had on our defence.

We only have Torres as an established striker were our rivals have 2 or 3 and with out torres out strike force is no stronger than a bottom half team and it is showing big time.

All the strikers we have had under rafa and he settles for **** like voronin

Cisse
Crouch
Bellamy
Fowler
Pongolle

Every single one of those players must look at out strike force now and say WTF! Torres not included of course.
