Liverpool v Newcastle (PL)

[maxwellbaxter]

100% they jump back up if they see Newcastle come away with the ball.

Been banging on this now for a few weeks....if the ball is not fully cleared you go down in your own box clutching your head...play gets stopped. Wish they played like they do on The Big Match Revisited

[Liverpool]

Was a strange game yesterday, I think we got too many bodies forward from the off. Its ok when you have Fab sweeping up, one of Henderson/Gini/Milner filling in for the full backs but it doesn't work with that midfield 3. Any half decent counter attacking team could rip us to shreds.

I didn't really get the rush to expose ourselves so early, over 90 minutes we should easily come out on top playing a more controlled game.

We gave away the ball a lot with unforced errors that could get us into trouble.

Spurs have the players to exploit it if we carry on like that.

He's been doing this all season. Cant trap a ball to save himself , falling over his own feet, playing the ball to nobody, running into people and getting in the way when someones (Robbo generally) running onto the ball. Still somehow scores the odd goal or two though. He's been an absolute horror show at times.

He essentially got two assists last night to add to the odd goal that has him joint 4th highest scorer in the league.

What a bizarre obsession you have wanting him to be ****.

I do get where Harv is coming from, although he's harsh. In an act of pure folly, I didn't want Mane from Southampton cos I thought he was really quite erratic. I remember him missing two or three glorious chances (for Southampton) against Man United one day and I was fuming with him and probably held it against him for a while.

So while he's putting up good numbers this season, and is better than last season, I do think his overall play is a touch erratic.

[Big-Red-Ed]

He always was a bit erratic. But he went through a long purple patch were arguably he was more important to us than Mo. But he's been in a slump now for just as long. He's been better this season but still way short of his purple patch.
