Same slow rubbish.

If you don't attack fast you've got no chance against 9 defenders.

i think clueless is the word your looking for. speaking of which, to think rafa was going to sell alonso.? the mind boggles

Last nite I saw Barcelona play Numancia, with the latter playing 10 men behind the ball. Barca simply tore them to shreds with the quality of their movement and passing. Our game is stiff and predictable, with the inevitable cross into the box where everton is well set and can defend all day...

Why you would compare any team to Barce, especially an English team, is beyond me.

[metalhead]

Pfft... we have been , what a stupid way to concede a goal.

[Madmax]

WTF mascha who was that to..

[eonerf]

[Number 9]

Its rafa and his zonal marking on corners how many times will it take for him to learn it don't work. 

Think Zonal marking works dude....but why isn't he playing agger there ?

Rafa favours Skrtl over Agger. For the life of me I dont know why. Agger is a top defender and Skrtly is average at best and goes wandering too often. He is shyte end of.

Hyypia on the bench is head and shoulders above both and TBH given Cahill and Lescotts heading records..he should have started!

Is he average at best or shyte then?

Give the lad a break. They cant be superstars straight away...

If we get a goal we can win this, Im not worried about a second from them they look happy defending all day.  But the problem is breaking the 9 man defence to get the first goal.  Little magic from Gerrard should do it.

On the contrary I think they are better placed to get a 2nd than we are to equalize..

WTF mascha who was that to..

That was an astray ball like any good midfielder can do within an otherwise good game.

In my opinion Mascherano isn't playing badly at all, neither is Alonso or Gerrard despite the odd mistake.

But at the same time I must say I don't like how the team as a whole is looking right now.

Come on reds!

With 4 of the their going in for one cross at the same time, they will score an OG for sure

So true.  A team defending with 9 or 10 men behind the while hard to break down is no excuse for the trouble we have in doing so. We just dont move the ball quick enough and dont have enough movement to start dragging players into positions they dont want to go to.  Its predictable huff and puff with eventually our great captain doing something himself to drag us out of trouble.
