FC Basel vs Liverpool post match thread

[Bender]

Hodgson is starting to look out of his depth

[Kenneth]

Thought Sterling, Markovic and Coutinho were the worst players on the pitch by a country mile

Markovic wasn't, he faded after a promising first half but he was nowhere near as bad as Sterling, Mario, Skrtel.

[danperkins]

I feel sorry for him, zero service and frankly there have been worse players than him today and over the last few weeks

I am a touch concerned, so many problems and so many players underperforming

Other than Sturridge I see little relief in players coming back

We need players to step up, Sterling, Henderson, Gerrard need to get form back. Markovic, Lovren need to grow a pair. Mario needs to do more

For me of the entire squad only Lallana & Moreno have looked anything like the standard required so far

He cannot play up front on his own... that has become painfully clear. But i can't feel sorry for him, strolls around, falls over, complaining & his shooting has been dreadful. His style of play is completely opposite to the way we play football or want to play. Slows up the play, kills the fluidity in our breaks & drops deep leaving nothing up top. Praying that he improves with Sturridge up with him because he has been dire so far.

I do agree that we have several talented players that really have performed below par this season.

Wow just Wow.

We don't look like a goal threat at the moment. We are missing some important players and Daniel sturridge is pivotal to what we do in the final third.

Joe Allen helps keep things tight in midfield and Daniel provides movement and a goal threat. Once theyre back we will see a different team.

We were utter ****, it is starting to look as if Suarez papered over all the cracks but I want to see how we perform with Sturridge and Allen back in the team before I hold judgement.

Sturridge & Allen are huge misses in this particular LFC side. Might tie things together to bit more.

For me the attack is a much bigger problem than the defence at the moment.

Its Mr Lahey on Trailer Park Boys. Trailer park supervisor. What is Owl Farm?

The ****cano is about to erupt.

[Gibbo]

I agree with Souness, we need a bit of a hard case in midfield.

And we need Sturridge back desperately, we need that flair back.

[Liverpool]

They were woeful first 20 mins, we would have been 2/3 up 6 months ago at that point

[baitman]

we need beeeeeeeeeeeeef.

too many skinny weeds. boys, not men.

Sterling & Coutinho for me
