Liverpool vs Sunderland: Match Thread

[Mattshark]

are there any signs of improvement

and we dont have the players for 442 so why play it.

No, we are terrible.

[Leyton388]

They have an extra man, that danish **** poulsen

Mate he is ****. You can see the space that is left with mash gone. We are more open than Katie Price's legs!

[GTi]

Has any one team ever had a so many players out of form? I've seen some ****e in my time but this takes the biscuit. It is so painful to watch, if I didnt know otherwise i'd say we'd been cursed.

[JohnDoe]

Hodgson doesn't have a clue. The signings of Meireles and Joe Cole are solid proof. Two good players who cannot be fit into one team.

[Fernandinho]

I reckon we should just play like 10 forwards

Out of form or out of position?

Its a crazy formation which doesn't work - at all.

[Shaggy]

Why the hell is Meireles playing on the right?

[Kinell]

**** this, I'm off to bed.

[Fernandinho]

It sounds so much worse when West Ham are beating tottenham, a team far superior to Sunderland and west ham are a team who have only got 1 point from 5 games

[Tansy]

HT
1-1
Started ok, gone ****.....just as well the opposition aren't much better

I think we had a quite good beginning: maybe 10-15, but now its gone again.

Its frustrating. I hope things change after half time.

[Sprouty]

Were great for the first 10 minutes, utter dog**** ever since.

[Mattshark]

With Rafa we split the CB's, pushed the fullbacks forwards and played 2 holding midfield. It was methodical (but tbh Barca do it) but it built attacks, tired the opposition and it stopped us from getting countered as easily

Whatever the **** we are trying at the moment is not working. We have no shape or pattern whatsoever and are getting hit on the counter time and again ,straight through the middle with ease

4231 gives you far more control in midfield.

It is terrible, everything good even from last season has been drilled out the team.

[MrMichael]

I really thought at points last season it would be impossible for this group of players to play worse. I was wrong. Shockingly poor.

Of course according to the UK media this will all be Rafa's fault anyway.

[Leyton388]

Heart Breaking comes to mind

Why the hell is Meireles playing on the right?

May I add: Why the hell is poulsen on the pitch?
