Blackpool post match

[Shaggy]

Lad on LFC TV talking about Mehreles right now...says he's a bottler. Well said fella.

He definitely hasn't punched his weight lately. He should be a tough cookie in there and initially played with authority, but recently he's been garbage and bottling tackles.

[Craig_H]

Dalglish has said he hasnt talked to henry about players and doesnt plan to

Have to hope that's just rhetoric, to make sure we arent drawn into daft overspending.

[red g]

I just don't see the need for a battle all the time. Different strokes

[Fierce]

Has anyone heard anything about why Babel wasn't included at all?

All his tattoos make him look harder than he actually is!

Or the set up is to talk to Comolli..........I don't and can't believe we are not going to get at least 1 big signing this window.

That aint him though, so you'd have to think there's something behind it.

I dont think that letting a handful of games overtake the entire rest of his established career, as a barometer of what he's all about, is sensible.

And Joe Cole.

I think it sucks that players are left out and the supporters aren't given the reasons behind it.

[DannyMan2006]

Didn't see the game. But it sounds like we still can't cope with high pressure. Personally I question the lack of fitness.

He's exuding an air of "I'm in control of my own destiny and can turn things around with minimal outside help", unlike the bleatings from Bodge about how helpless he is because everything is ****e.

[Lecter]

We don't hold it up.

We dont have enough width

We don't run channels effectively.

We don't fill the box on crosses.

We don't have more than 1 option on the ball when we have it

We dont play effective diagonal balls

We don't offer anything from set pieces/corners

We don't tackle like we mean it.

We don't gamble on flick on etc..

Joe Cole has an ankle injury but I've no idea about Babel. Has to be an injury. He did okay on Sunday and even he's better than Jova. Should've started. Surely he's injured.

Funny you say that because I was thinking the same thing, Kuyt for one seems nowhere near as fit as previous seasons

[Craig_H]

And Joe Cole.

I think it sucks that players are left out and the supporters aren't given the reasons behind it.

Think Cole still had the ankle niggle.

And i dont think it's reasonable, nor realistic, to expect a manager to come out and explain/justify everything he does to the fans. There's a reason, surely, why he's the one in the dugout, and with legendary status, and we're not.

He is

Just looking through our squad we have an awful lot of players who only play when we are winning and dont have the bottle for a scrap
