Pennant

You think he never faked injury? Look at the pictures again the PSV player never even touched him.

He certainly didn't know whether it was his face or leg .

It looked a bit soft from where I was sat, TBH I wasn't too dissapointed to see him go off (although obviously I didn't want him to be injured).

I'm not happy that he is/was "injured" I just don't think the team will miss him and I and other people sat round where I was last night thought he went down injured looking for a way out. Just an opinion mind.

On TV it looked like he streached to get the ball and might have felt some thing in his leg go and then he clearly took forearm on his face. Give him a few more games before you hang him out to dry.....

Look again the PSV players arm never even touched his face.

Where were you sitting?

Not too much vocal discontent where I was in the centenary.

Although not a good angle but it does look like he took one from this angle.

Upper Kem, block CE1 Right in line with him. Plenty of people round where I was sat thought he had took a dive. The crowd were getting a bit frustrated with him a few minutes before.

I saw it from another angle on SSN last night. To be fair I still don't think it looks like he took one in the face from that angle either.

You dont need to touch anyone to damage a hamstring. Who touched Speedy when he went down?

I'm not talking about the hamstrings I'm talking about the ameture dramatics when he pretended to be elbowed in the face. Then he couldn't decide what he'd hurt.

It may not look like it but I hope the lad succeeds I genuinely do but he'll have to grow a bigger set of bollocks than he's got now if he's going to.

I agree that he hasn't delivered yet, but as I see it, it's more a case of lack of confidence than commitment. We should all get behind the lad and support him 100% Like it or not, he's a Red and one of us. He's done and said nothing to justify the abuse that he's getting

I can't believe some of the comments on here.

Last season loads of people were moaning about Crouch - not worth the money, not LFC standard, get rid of him, useless, etc etc etc.

Now he's our number 1 striker and there are often posts criticising Rafa for not automatically selecting him for every game.

For whatever reason, some players take a long time to settle at Liverpool. Whether it's our history, the expectations (often unrealistic) of the fans, the style of play, who knows, but it happens.

The fact that the likes of Pennant, Gonzales, Bellamy are not playing week in and week out can't be helping their confidence or their ability to get used to playing with the rest of the team.

If they are getting stick from their own fans at the ground, then all I can say is they are not the sort of fans to be proud of.

Spot on.

There were an awful lot of fans at the match last night that you wouldn't have been proud of then.

Thats nothing new then.
Moaning is obviously a virtue in some peoples eyes.
