Liverpool v Fiorentina match thread

[red g]

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?

I think we are one of the top teams, just not one of the the top squads

[Shaggy]

Insua has completely gone. It's fairly usual for young players to have a dip after initially impressing but he needs taking out of the team, sharpish. I like him and think he'll be a really good left-back, but the lad has gone. Everyone knows it and he's being targeted, which in itself means he's susceptible to being exposed more often than the others as so many opposition attacks come down our left, but he's being done time and again.

Feel sorry for Darby but I too thought he was an accident waiting to happen.

Wake me up when this season's all over.

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

yeah it is frustrating which is why a lot of people me included vent it after defeat after defeat. what gets my back up is the personal insults that get thrown about by people just cos you don't agree with their opinions. I won't change my opinion and i will make no apologies for my opinion.

Beat Arsenal and a good result or two from the teams above us and all will seem very different

[Icon]

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

Sorry but as far as I am concerned every game we play is very significant. This is Liverpool.

The grand scheme of things? Are we STILL in ****ing transition?
When is this grand scheme going to piece together?

Wake up Shaggy!

Wake up Shaggy!

Positives:

Aquilani got a decent run out
Dossena, considering he has been without a game for while, player v well.
Pacheco looked comfortable when he came on and wasn't shy of having a shot.
Mascherano looked back to his best, tackles coming in everywhere.
Torres back and looking very sharp.


Negatives:
Insua, as Shaggy said he is being targeted and is being exposed far too much.
Darby played poor and cost us the result in the end but he will learn from tonight.
Kuyt, was terrible tonight and offered absolutely nothing.
Another late goal conceded - when is it going to stop?

i cant believe the amount of people fretting over this game, since the weekend when the rumours of darby and pacheco and aqua starting were around, i knew it was a nothing game and rafa was preparing for the next IMPORTANT game.

bring on arsenal and nando to rip them a new one

[Shaggy]

Wake up Shaggy!

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

Did you watch it?

no, every game is not significant , this clearly wasnt

if it was that significant, what was the difference between losing and winning, prez tell

I'm hoping the fans can see the long term perspective rather than focus on the short term goals. Rafa is building up the academy and playing youngsters much more than what Houllier has done.

I hope he sticks around long enough to achieve these objectives that will be beneficial to Liverpool in the long run. Rather than have another manager comes in who wipes out all the efforts Rafa has done and focus on the short term goals to ensure their survival.
