West 'AAAAAAM (A) Match Thread

[Tribute]

Borini was supposed to be doing the legwork that Mario wouldn't. Other way round so far...

[topscorer]

Conceding a free kick or corner is almost like conceding a penalty.

I knew we had defensive problems but this is awful.

What's even more worrying is that we don't seem capable or stringing two passes together.

[Roboklopp]

How much does Demel look like Carlton Cole

Racist. Expect better of you Nobs.

[Kenneth]

Apart from Lucas and maybe Borini, there isn't a bad player out there. Can't look beyond the manager when questioning our start to the season.

****ing Keystone cops at the back.

Seriously, one of the worst defensive performances I've seen from any team so far this season.

Need to bring on Markovic or Lallana for Lucas. The only way we are going to get anything out of this is 4-4. Trouble is they look more like scoring 4 than us.

Remember when west ham were relegated

i can also remember when chelsea and man city were relegated

****ter than turd that first half.

It's pathetic that this is in no way an exaggeration.

[baitman]

like a random group of strangers out there. no passing in the midfield whatsoever.
lucas and gerrard are giving nothing when we have the ball. gerrard often behind our CB's when we have the ball, wtf...

i hope that rodgers shows them his angry face.

[Leyton388]

Absolute ****e. Worst performance I've seen.

[Zapater]

Horrendous first half, I think that we still have a chance of winning which I think is ridiculous given how poor this half was. Jesus H ****ing christ what a cluster****. Lovren was a particular standout. Mignolet doesn't surprise me anymore as I expect it. I hope that precedent isn't extended to Lovren. Must be said though, he's had an absolute dire start to his Liverpool career.

Yep, even bottom of the table teams defend better than this.

Got to question the defensive coaching staff when we defend so ****e whoever we start with.

[Muddled]

Our approach play is non-existent. Go long for Balotelli to hold it up and hope Sterling can get past him, or feed it in to the channels for Borini to chase, hurry and hassle, but ultimately we concede possession and we're back defending. Comically.

West Ham have pushed up on our midfield really well, but it's only because both Gerrard and Lucas want to drop off meaning the gap between them and Henderson is huge and we're outnumbered.

What a mess.

[Tatterdemalion]

|Really looking forward to playing franco madrid at the Subway Bernebeu with this defence.

[Leyton388]

Rodgers needs to give his head a wobble and sort this defence out. I've no confidence in Mignolet and Sakho is a mistake waiting to happen. I've never seen a player with spaghetti legs like him
