Scum vs Liverpool match thread

[Kinell]

We should have a defender marking Berbatov IMO, not Torres

Doubt you would see Rooney or Berbatov marking Torres at the other end... If we got that far that is.

[McDermotX]

Man those bug eyes of Konchesky's are annoying me in that replay of the goal.

[Exiled_red]

Agreed but with so many mancs bodies in the box he had to pick up someone. I am not blaming El Nino just his marking was not good.

Have him marking someone else, a striker who is good in the air, should be marked by a defender, as even more than a defender attacking a corner, a striker such as Berbatov will have good movement.

Our best defenders/headers should be up against their biggest threats in the air, and Berbatov is one of their biggest threats in the air.

[Mostar]

Konchesky is supposed to be on the post, if he stayed in his proper position, he'd probably have cleared that.

Definitely but he should not be a scapegoat. We had couple chances to clear the corner kick before and we fail to do so. All in all very poor showing on our part but what can you expect when we have no width and everybody is playing like they're walking on eggs.

[CJ]

all we have done in the game the scum have been happy for us to do it.

i will say it again but they move the ball forward 10-20 yards with a pass. we move it back or forward 2-5 yards.

bring back zonal marking

oh am glad konch didnt get to the ball as he was going to handle it by the look of it. though to be fair he might have been doing that because he knew it was already in.

think we need to swap gerrard and rm

cole is far too narrow maxi isnt doing anything

They are not playing well as such we are letting them play well. We need to press higher up need more movement

oh and the ginsoak is a **** who i hate with every part of my body and being. Roy stop being pally with him your job is to hate him to make him drink even more than he does now.

more effort boys more bite and just a bit more of your potential and we can get something out of this. However without more of that we wont!! get out there and kick some inbred manc (Glory london supporting) arse!

[danperkins]

Really?

Done well at passing sideways and backwards, an incredibly negative footballer, dont think he has put in a tackle either.

Poulsen has been one of the better players, not his fault that things break down when we go forward, lack of width and movement ain't this fault either, lets not confuse Masch's buccaneering slide tackling style to Poulsen' s solid work ethic, different players, Poulsen is composed on the ball and solid in the middle. He has been our best player in a poxy first half

[SimonNo7]

Wasnt the point of sacking him to improve?

Yes it was but it does take a little bit of time for a new manager to instill his tactics.

[tsb]

Another first half in the prem w/o a goal!

[ronniedrew]

Konchesky is hopeless, hasnt a clue how to defend and doesnt even compensate by being good on the ball or a threat going forward as he's useless at that too!

thats over the top, he is a better defender that anyone we have had there for a few years.

[Shaggy]

Unless we make a miraculous and heroic comeback to win, this will be our worst start for 18 years.

[JohnDoe]

Poulsen is not better than Lucas.

Konchesky is ****.

Maxi Rodriguez is hopeless and being found out.

Joe Cole is not used correctly.

[cream]

Really?

Done well at passing sideways and backwards, an incredibly negative footballer, dont think he has put in a tackle either.

To be fair, there's no real movement in front of him, no-one running into space, every one of our forward players seen to be surrounded by their players.

[Chris]

thats over the top, he is a better defender that anyone we have had there for a few years.

Haha asif! Aurelio is lightyears ahead of him, defensively and going forward.

[Tee]

This season has been a real throwback to the Houllier glorydays. We cannot pass and move and our football has died. We are once again the best sideways and backwards passing team in the world though.

[little dave hedgehog]

Nothing to worry about for #LFC fans. The team may be second best but at least the players are happy and the club have a boss the media like
