Blackpool vs Liverpool: Match Thread. ATTENTION - POULSEN DOING OK!

[Fredo]

I think it was a tremendous improvement from the **** we've been used to under Dodgson. We're pressing much higher up the pitch, keeping the ball decently and we're feeding Torres at last with good balls into the channels, things we never did under that old fool. Poulsen had an OK game, never thought I'd say that.

I think we'll win this.

Could Maxi not play the central role Meireles is with a bit more creativity? not seen much from Raul, he's been pretty poor. Torres and Maxi seem to have a decent understanding. Might be worth a punt.

[wiw]

Does anyone have a Veetle link that's working?

[lickedlollipop]

we need more from kuyt and jovanovic who have produced absolutely nothing.

Torres looks sharp but needs more service. Not happy with meireles again, it was his loose poke that led to the blackpool goal and generally he seems to be too far off torres.

I think johnson has shown in this half what his liverpool careers been about. Some brilliant stuff interspaced by a lot of brainless, thoughtless ****.

we are missing gerrard, aurelio, and cole. Thats a lot of composure and attacking talent. hope next half is better but at least we're trying to win.

seriously, i'm having a deja vu. bizzare thing.

Cant see where goals will come from though. Goal aside, we havent really created a proper chance.

The thing is, you can see what Kenny's attempting to do. The players haven't been used to this type of pass and move and brain function, which is why we're losing quite a fair bit of possession. But you can see Lucas has been trying some lofted passes/chips behind the defense (he was also the FIRST player I've seen in ****ing 20 billion years to connect with a short corner and on target).

There's still quite some congestion in our passing, but you can see the passing is really quick at times, ping pong stuff, obviously the players will be making mistakes.

Johnson's not been doing too well, but he's just had a kid and stuff, I'm sure he's just not quite at the races.

Torres is on fire, just as I predicted, he's enjoying himself it's there for all to see.

Jova seems a little unfortunate LOL to put it lightly. Mereiles not there, and Kuyt's a bit wonky, but I'm impressed, after 2 training sessions or whatnot we've totally changed the way we play football and it can only bode well for the future.

**** YEAAA!!!! ! !!!!!!!!!

[el matador]

lads...

we've had roys defensive, robotic **** for 6 months. you're not going to get the players out of that mindset in 2 games.

its gonna take longer but at least in the last 2 matches, we've played more attacking football and shown more adventure than in the entire 6 months under roy.

[Drago]

Right I've only woke up. How have we been, who scored and how are we set up?

bump

This game is more evidence, if anyone needed it, that we need QUICK and skillful wingers, who can actually beat a man and deliver quality into the box.

Kuyt and Jova play like they're ****ing drowsy.

Everything seems to breakdown when the ball comes to these two, its been happening all season with Kuyt especially, he is ****ing gash.

[SB]

Is there nobody in our squad that can cross the ball?

We know Kelly can but I'd rather he didn't go too far forward for fear of exposing Skertel on the counter attack

Edit. Oops and Maxi

Poulsen's been one of our better players, Mehreles at times is for **** all - you get the impression he thinks he's alot better than he is. Need to put the hard graft in son... This isn't the Portugese league you're playing in where you can coast through games.

Jova has also been a bit ****, he's a willing runner but the lack of awareness always
shows.

Kuyt has been rotten, and is in **** form,.

That Blackpool defence is wide open and i can't for the life of me understand why Babel isn't even on the bench, he should be bliming starting, not stuck in the stands.

@ atdhe.net ?

[billd]

They press and harry relentlessly.

Yeh but I think they'll be shagged if they keep that pace up into the second half.

We've always been a bit poor in the final pass, I mean we all know our main creative force is the Stevie-Nando axis. Compared to the dross I've seen all season, we're playing very well. We'll score more, our possession in the final third is good and I feel we're defending OK as well.
