Stream must have been really bad if Kuyt was a positive for you

i thought he played well, not brilliant mind, just better than some of the others, he put in his shift, he was always avaliable for the ball, tried to put crosses in, was taking players on. more than decent performance

I think this season is a write off for Aquilani, I'm not going to judge him until next season, he's not fully fit and hasn't had a preseason behind him, so is playing catch up. IMO he should use this season to get used to the pace and physical nature of the English game, and some idea of the way he needs to play.

We can then judge him next season

I fully agree with this, but the worry is that while he should be gradually acclimatising and improving, he's getting worse.

Re the Kuyt debate, i thought he was very poor myself.

Mascher was good, as were the defence, who dealt with what little they had to. Riera and Kuyt were nearly invisible, Stevie was average, N'Gog was impressive and Babel was MOTM. Pacheco did a decent job and a nice assist for the kid. Delighted for him & N'Gog.

[Shaggy]

Fair play to Babel, that was much much better. Riera was so poor. Babel's earned a start against City IMO.

[Vermilion]

Dire pitiful display, completely devoid of tempo or attacking thrust. Embarrassing.

Caution and negativity has flowed through this team like a disease for so long, that they dont even know how to play with tempo, move the ball quickly and create openings.

Woefully poor although i'm sure there'll be apologists ready to tell us that it's acceptable or good enough, because the opposition packed their defence...like the majority of visiting teams to Anfield will do.

They obviously know how to play with tempo, we've done it many times, last season was good.

I really think LFC suffers in the same way as England, the expectations are massive, and i'm afraid it has an effect, too many normally good players play poorly too often, but against top opposition we generally turn up and play well as there is less pressure. imo.

It's when we're expected to roll over an opponent that we seem to suffer.

[GraciousGooner]

What do people expect against a team with no intent of attacking? It was always going to be tough, they are not that bad a team.

When someone turns up and defends against, us, Man U or Chelsea and get battered, you call them spineless. Just batter them.

I know what you're saying and I do tend to agree, but we've literally seen nothing positive from him - at all. Absolutely zip.

[Leyton388]

**** me didn't know Ned flanders was in corba!

[Shaggy]

I know what you're saying and I do tend to agree, but we've literally seen nothing positive from him - at all. Absolutely zip.

I think he showed glimpses of real quality in his earliest cameos, but yeah, nothing since.

I dont think expecting to create a few chances against Unirea at home, is an example of overly high expectations.

Or maybe it is, and our standards have dropped into the toilet.

Nice brass buttons
