Poor poor play

[McDermotX]

Johnson....you should get a kick in the bollocks for that ball in.

[danperkins]

Sahin has to come off... Not doing anything. Him and Stevie just strolling around. Gerrard will never be taken off but fear god he's a shadow of the player he once was.

[Helios Creed]

Torres stands a couple of feet away and blocks a free kick being taken sideways - used to be a booking in my day, seems to be allowed now....

[DannyMan2006]

As bad as we've been... Chelsea have been much, much worse.

Chelsea have a habit if getting bossed and still getting the result. They have so many players who can create a bit if magic and they counter quickly & dangerously.

LFC just run out of ideas in the final third as they don't know how to move as a team. Sometimes we look light in numbers at the back & up top as the midfield becomes congested and players don't fill in.

NO SUPPORT FROM MIDFIELD

Half time 1-0 to the Chavs

i think to an extent we've let him get isolated out on the wing. if he beats one of his men, there's never anyone for him to move it one to, so instead he has to look at beating 2 or 3 players.

I can see that - I just think he look to hold the ball to long rather than move it on quickly which would help both problems.

[Gaz]

While its still 1-0 we've got a chance of getting something from this game, just can't afford to concede a second

[JohnDoe]

Sahin, Gerrard and Allen have been atrocious. You can't get away with a midfield that is completely devoid of energy. Sterling and Suarez are playing by themselves.

Really, really bad game.

[Maxiedge]

wtf is wrong with us? Man City, Man U and now Chelsea have all been there for the taking but we're just so wasteful.

[spud_gun]

Gerrard will never be taken off but fear god he's a shadow of the player he once was.

[Leyton388]

Assaidi should get a run out. We're making no effort to have a go at Chelsea. At least he'll run with the ****ing thing and attempt something. WTF does he have to do to get a start? I'm starting to worry about Rodgers now The football is dire, no worse than Kenny's, but dire nevertheless. I was pretty optimistic earlier on in the season but recently it's been atrocious culminating in today's truly dreadful performance.

[Lecter]

Terrible tactics. Midfield totally isolated from forwards. Defenders retreating under pressure. No width whatsoever.

I can understand why hes gone with 5 at the back but all its done is allow the midfield to abdicate even more responsibility when it comes to pressing and winning possession
