LFC v Napoli post match thread

[Craig_H]

No but he didn't need to say it. He still played that sack of **** Poulsen, so I think he should have kept the 'credit' line in check.

He was asked about it, ffs

"When Gerrard pulls his socks up before a freekick, you know he's going to shoot directly. See there: he pulled his socks up and then he shoots"

[Shaggy]

I'm almost beginning to feel sorry for Poulsen. I hate to see anyone hopelessly out of their depth, it's painful. He is mind-bogglingly ****.

[pondus]

Really? He's in my FF team.

What's wrong with him?

Liverpool.no says he has an ankle injury, didn't play midweek

[RedReet]

How good was that ref, Howard Webb should take a hard look.

How good is Lucas, only 8 minutes and he turns the game on his head.

How good is Dirk, he should be on tv every time he doesn't play.

How good is Henry's wife, seriously just ...

How good is Roy, he....

And now for the HUGE BIG F*CKING WHITE ELEPHANT in this thread:

Who put Gerrard on in the 2nd half - not after 60 mins ala Rafa - beginning of 2nd half?

I know it hurts to say it, but it was Roy. I'm not his fanboi, but f*ck me the agenda among our own 'fans' is becoming disgusting.

What about the white elephant that is Christian Poulsen?

Don't start with that ****.

We all know he put on a show for Henry. He danced, made pirouettes on the touchline, more than at anytime since he's been here.

That elephant needed putting down, I'll give you that.

[squaddie]

Anyone else think Mr Kay is in for a big disappointment on Sunday?

Graham Taylor is ****in hilarious.

'.............What is it???........'



Shelvy looked promising..... Meireles and Spearing where gash. Johnson looks exactly the same as before..... Gerrard is awesome.

[pondus]

I sense sarcasm. Obviously it was better than the 1st half but the football still made my eyes bleed. The first goal was a tackle, which sums up Roy Hodgson, the 2nd a penalty and a bit of class for the third. Other than that - meh.

We came out fighting in the second half and really tried, and I don't think Napoli had one opportunity to score. I think it was a good half of football. First half was so **** I considered doing something else. Thankfully I didn't.

More like a white whale!

If he'd played better tactics and personel from the start he wouldn't have needed Gerrard. That said, I can't fault him since Napoli away. It's a results business and he's getting them.

I still want him gone, but if he can carry on winning games fair play to him, he's doing his job. Style of play this year doesn't matter. Get us 4th place, then allow us to get a top young manager in and he can swan of to England with his rep intact. Win win all round.

I'm not anywhere near convinced Hodgson can get us 4th, but I'll be happily proved wrong.

I dont think we were that great in the 2nd half, but you're right about them not creating anything - we definitely controlled the 2nd period. Well done Ro Stevie.

[Rich]

Our tactics didn't improve, even if we did improve in the second half. Our formation is appalling and in Poulsen we have one of the very worst players ever to play for the club.

[BigChief]

My assessment of the game. They got lucky with their goal, a series of mistakes made worse by Pouslon's header. But, on the whole, we had that game in the bag and I could feel it coming. Ngog and Miereles should have buried their chances, but unfortunately these are the sh*te players Roy has to work with for now.

Saying that I like Ngog and Miereles but never had confidence they could hit a barn door when it mattered. Thank God for Stevie, had Rafa been managing us we wouldn't have seen him until 60 mins by which time it would have been too late.

Shelvey at the start of the programme said "I was born to play football", well today the pride came before the fall. He was hopeless sh*t, fair enough out of position, but hopeless nevertheless. Poulson seemed like Maradona next to him and Jovanvic tonight. But Shelvey is a great prospect, I just hope his head shrinks back to normal size now.
