Liverpool vs Birmingham match thread

Sub standard slop. It says a lot when I think "I wish we were as good as Birmingham". Thank God for Reina. Other than him, Jovanovich has done okay. The rest either don't give a sh1t or are just not good enough. I have never seen Maxi play well. GJ thinks he's better than he is for some reason. Every time a ball comes into the box we sh1t ourselves. Could easily be 2 or 3 nil at half time.

We've been absolutely dire in the first half, Birmingham have had all the chances, and it's only thanks to Reina that we're still in this game, Birmingham could have been 3-0 up! The team is not functioning as an attacking unit, we offer absolutely nothing going forward, midfield is there to just contain and is just another bank of four! When the ball gets forward, it's straight from deep up to Gerrard and Torres. We need to make changes!!

[Molby]

as if that half wasn't depressing enough, what fooking ad did sky have on 1st?

The Champions League music, spurs v werder bremen.....

those were the days.............

[banditos]

Thank god for Pepe. Some awesome saves there.

Another terrible first half performance. The lads dont look interested in this one. Sloppy passing, dire defending, we are a rabble.

[Rich]

Woeful half apart from the mighty Reina. Nothing gets created, nothing.

[Chris]

Abysmal management, please try and rectify it Roy.

[calvoboy]

I don't know what Konchesky gives us that Agger doesn't.

He's a natural left back who's had a decent first half and who allows agger to slot back into his best position alongside carra at centre back........oh.

[Lee]

Well, on a positive note, surely the second half can't be any worse than the first half.

Can it?! Can it?!

[Taxi]

If we bring on Agger for Skrtel and Babel on for Jova will will win this.

[Rich]

Agger should flipping start, drop Skrtel

[Rudo]

****ing depressing first half display, hardly a surprise though is it:

Johnson has been his usual thick, sloppy, casual self.

Lucas has been his usual annoymous, game passing him by self.

Maxi has been his usual, pretend to look busy but produce **** all self.

Torres has been his usual trying to do everything himself(not criticising him for this tho) self.

Same old Liverpool.

[Icon]

Brad Jones on for Pepe..?

[Rudo]

Well, on a positive note, surely the second half can't be any worse than the first half.

Can it?! Can it?!

Of course it can get worse man, B'ham could very easily start converting their chances and be out of sight.

[Zapater]

Well, on a positive note, surely the second half can't be any worse than the first half.

Can it?! Can it?!

We could concede...

This half of football has really gotten me down.

So the leaked team was spot on again.

It does pose the question of who is the leak? This surely hands an advantage to our opponents. If we are able to find the team out a day in advance you can bet opposition managers will know it too. It gives them 24 hours to prepare for our exact starting XI. Not ideal.

Frankly a baboon could have worked out that line-up, so it didn't require any great knowledge from behind the scenes to work out. When I saw the team it was pretty much as I expected it to be.
