Liverpool v Fiorentina match thread

[Kenneth]

the amount of tits on here.

a nothing game, aqau started , nando looking great as per usual, darby is young , pacheco on for debut. carra got a rest. stevie got another one under the belt . masch was excellent

a lot of positives , would have been nice to win but as with a pre season friendly, result mattrs **** all.

it was a night to get fitnesss and avoid injury.

Taken in isolation, all true. However, with our run of form, it's just another **** excuse.

[JohnDoe]

****ing hell this seems to be the statement of the night on here.

how's he supposed to improve if he doesn't get chucked in at the deep end?

The thing with Darby is that he's nowhere near good enough. I've thought so way before the game tonight. There's bringing kids through and there's keeping a 21 year old in the reserves who's just not at the level required. I'm not blaming Rafa for playing him as I don't think he had better options but Darby is not good enough and will never be good enough. No height, no strength, no quality on the ball, no pace... He's just not there.

[ronniedrew]

see where you're coming from but I bet the fans who paid a lot of cash to see the game,would of wished rafa would go for it.

damned if you damned if you don't situation me thinks but once again the same old mistakes from the same players...anyhoo...I've finally taken my foot out of the TV now..

rafa will play a full team on sunday , why would he RISK ANYTHING tonight, time to give the fringe a chance.

when the dust settles on this game, the tools will realise that aqua looks ready , nando is back , stevie is STARTING to look sharp

even though we lost , i feel more positive about sunday than i did before the game, i can tell you that

[Nicey]

Thought Insua was pretty crap tonight too.

He wasn't perfect but we've really missed Arbeloa in my opinion.

Now this is actually a valid point he had a knightmare of a game, not sure if it was having Dosser in front of him or he was just getting turned inside out but he was not at his best

Yep!

Nothing like losing before a massive game.

[Leyton388]

ok we are regarded as one of the top teams in europe right?

Would any other top team in europe except a run of form of 3 wins in 14 and out of the title race and CL by christmas?

[Nicey]

I might be wrong but the way we have played all season is clearly wrong!

We are having a tough season get use to the idea, sure get frustrated but see the bigger picture .We finished 4 points off the pace last year and we really should have won the Lg, this campaign has been one thing after another ... tonight was the first time Torres and Stevie have played togther since Oct .. all this **** makes a difference

Another rare bit of sense. I'll be very surprised if we don't beat Arsenal comfortably.

[red g]

Ok I'll rephrase

6.) Darby is currently out his depth for the Champions League.

course he was out of his depth you daft apath, it was his first game in the CL!!!!

Wenger had probably 8 players playing out of there depth in a dead rubber.....

Why would we play a full strength team?

there was a lot of positives in a game that meant nothing.

[ronniedrew]

Yep!

Nothing like losing before a massive game.

not ideal, but insignificant in the grand scheme of things. lost a late one. your sour now, but you'll come around.

again, a lot of positives to be had for me

[el matador]

even klinsman can see that our creative players are nowhere near good enough. dossena did ok but he's no giggs. kuyt looks no better than a sunday league.

some bad buys but richard ****ing keys is ****ing pissing me off. fat hairy cunt. face you could ****

[Maxiedge]

I thought Insua was quite good actually but I did leave the game for 10 minutes to make the dinner and he could have been absolute ****e during that.

[L10]

ok we are regarded as one of the top teams in europe right? Apparently so

Would any other top team in europe except a run of form of 3 wins in 14 and out of the title race and CL by christmas?

no

There are some still here with rose tainted glasses on though .

[sitoca]

only idiots think that this game meant nothing. every time you pull on a liverpool shirt it means something.

losing at anfield is disgraceful and some of our players need to look at themselves. benitez also needs to take a good look himself.

there were empty seats at anfield today and if nothingelse the owners look at it because the last time there were empty seats at anfield houllier got sacked.

not good enough

Get real mate. Are you still living in the 60s? These days its all about money and trophies. We are out of the CL so other than building up fitness and getting some experience this game is farkall.

[Nicey]

Yep!

Nothing like losing before a massive game.

It was a nothing ****ing game FFS .. sure i would have been better to get the Win but it means absolutely **** all at the end of the day, Lets see how we do at the weekend before we preform the mass suicide ehh
