Liverpool v Birmingham Post Match Thread

[Nath]

Ngog looks like a player
Lucas looks alright
Benny is ok
Which Babel will turn up
Will Aquilani come on
Torres is injured
Gerrard is injured
We're unlucky
Rafa's resting him because he's not quite right
We don't have the money to build a squad

Step forward Arsene Wenger

2. The fact that we had no end product has nothing to do with luck.

Well that explains your "insider" posts

[SimonNo7]

It should be, no doubt, but a Liverpool team from the past few years, would have never gone down 2-1 at half time after leading 1-0.

I know, we used to know how to control games. And the laughter from my last post, that was to stifle the tears

[Mike]

why cant any of our players cross the ball?

Johnson can, Aurelio can, Lucas can....

[Mattshark]

The final delivery into the box killed me. So many times Johnson and Kuyt had the ball in a great position on the right and rarely picked out a man. We are NEVER going to win lofting balls into the far post to Benayoun and Babel.

Anyone get the impression Rafa is just keeping the seat warm til the summer?

Do you ever post when we are winning or to support the side?

1. We were lucky to get the penalty which gave us a point

2. The fact that we had no end product has nothing to do with luck.

Yes we were lucky for the peno but we deserved that luck, they didn't deserve anything from the game because they were battered, so in general, we didn't have the luck we deserved for absolutely hammering them, that's the point.

As for the end product, if we didn't concede those two unbelievable goals, we would have won as we scored two.

Don't do that.

Any other night we'd have won that game by 5.

Not on current form I'm afraid.
Will take us about 4 or 5 games of 1 and 2 nil results to get something happening.
We need Nando AND Torres back and Aquilani playing for 90 minutes.
Glen J is doing well but we have almost zero creativity.

[Exiled_red]

So do people still think Insua is good enough for this club?

I personally think he is one of the worst players ever to play for us.

We've had alot worse players than him. He's not on on the best form admittedly, he's a better player than his form is showing but can't take him out of the firing line because we have no-one else fit

How many shots on target did we have?

Yes the statistics says we dominated the game 70 per cent. But Rafa has to understand dominitaing a game is not good enough it must be turned into scoring chances and goals. What we got tonight? Splittin passes would have done the job but we got side and back passes from Kuyt. Our vision and creativity is poor. We have to drop that safety first mentality it is killng us.

So by your analysis, Rafa should have put himself on to try and score a goal? We had clear cut chances to score but we didn't take them.

[pondus]

How many shots on target did we have?
