There are so many problems at the moment, that I don't know where to begin.

Liverpool never looked like scoring, even though they managed to get a goal. I lost count of how many times I counted 6 or 7 white shirts with N'Gog left completely on his own. Even when Liverpool went 1 up, they never looked like they were going to win it and when Lyon got the second, there wasn't a murmur of surprise from me.

The team Benitez has built (and I use the word team loosely) is basically a mid-table affair that has a great goalie and two shining stars and when those stars are not there (or not shining for that matter), then that team is of the standard of Middlesborough.

This season is going to be a rough one and something's got to give.

I found it truly incredible that Benitez chose to go with 1 striiker up front again (really, WTF is up with that? ), when to me the logical choice would be to play two, probably Babel and Kuyt. Then, at 1-1 and a few minutes to go, he takes the best Liverpool shirt (and only goalscorer) off?

Tactical genius? What a load of bollox.

Utd must be quaking in their boots.

At this stage, if nothing changes, Liverpool will be lucky to finish in the top half of the table this year and the owners willl be getting a loan out to pay him off and give him a plane ticket back to Spain.

Jesus wept. We never looked like scoring, even though we did score and should have scored another before half time? We're you even watching the same match I was. Lyon were hardly great themselves in the final 3rd either. I thought we defended relatively well, and were really unlucky to conceide in the way we did. Reina deserved more luck than that. We looked disjointed at times, hardly surprising considering our confidence, and the winning goal was a real boot in the bollox, because in this game we did at least deserve a draw at the minimum. Caught sleeping at the back, and it was the only real time in the game where we got ripped open.

You can "Jesus wept" all over the place, but NO, we didn't look like scoring. Liverpool had 2 chances ( TWO ) chances in 30 minutes of play in the first half.

The way the team was set up, you damn well knew that goals WEREN'T going to come from a pass from midfield to the striker, that's for sure. So, fuck knows where they were coming from.

NO, WE DIDN'T LOOK LIKE SCORING

In the end we only got a goal because their defence was put off by Kelly's miss and the ball landing at Bennys feet.

In all, we had about 8 minutes of good play in the last part of the first half...that was it.

We defended shit, Insua was laughable. Everyone was ball watching for Lyon's first.

The whole fuckin team (bar Riena, Mascherano and Benny) were terrible.

Were you REALLY that surprised when Liverpool lost?

Really?

Fact of the matter is, we did score and should have added a second. So how did we not look like scoring? The score sheet says we scored, but we didn't look like scoring?

Sunday could be a cricket score...and I don't mean for us.

We look weak and ineffective all over the park, and it is amazing how quickly the weakness of our squad has come to haunt us.

I suppose when you sell one of the best midfielders in the world and replace him with a thirty something Greek journeyman centre mid, and a long term injured unproven Italian, our situation isn't too surprising.

We have absolutely no depth to the squad.

A loss on Sunday ends the PL challenge, and we are barely in the CL now.

If Rafa survives till xmas I will be surprised.

We need new owners before we are trying to beat Birmingham to a European place.

:no

By the way, if someone wants to lay the boot into anyone other than the manager, lay your boots into Lucas. I'm not a Lucas basher or anything, but the d*ck was at fault for that winning goal. He should have tracked back, but instead decided to go on a little saunter in another direction. If he tracks his man, he cuts the ball out. Simple as that. Aquilani needs to get fit ASAP to replace that gobshyte.

That's not the point.

We didn't look like were we going to get goals from beginning to end.

The "fact" we managed a clumsy goal means fuck all.

The team are just devoid of any real attacking flair, when Steve and Nando aren't in it.

and when they are there, it's Torres'n'Gerrard FC.

When they aren't, it's Middlesbrough

Doesn't matter how well anybody played.

Without the OG, it's a draw.

Away to Lyon next,if we lose that I cant see us qualifying. We will be needing other results to go our way and I just cant see it, if we lose we will be (most probably) 6 points behind second place with 2 to go.
I know we have been in a worse possition before and got through but in the long run if you play with fire....
If we dont get through there is no way there will be money to strengthen in Jan, it would be a bigger finacial hit than a footballing one, we need a clear out anyway but we may not have a choise, and if it gets to that point it wont be the sh!te leaving us it`ll be the few players we want to keep.
We need to turn this around now, even a couple of draws at this stage would improve things, one at the weekend and another against Lyon then hopefully we will be at full strength and able to go on a run.

Jamie Carra is now the weak link in our defense, am I the only one who thinks he looks past it.

The bad thing is, that I don't think its a blip, I might be talking absolute tosh, but he just looks finished.

I'm soo frickin mad right now,,,

I've supported Rafa to the hilt,,,but I haven't felt this bad since Wigan away last season,,:angry:

He's got to go,,,,I hate saying it, but he has,, Does anybody know how much his contract is worth??

Whoever said our squad was as good as the mancs,, your talking pish,,,,
Take out the 2 Best players out of every PL squad and put them up man for man against us,, think about it,
IMHO I'd take chelski's squad, man u, arsenal, man city, aston villa, spurs, bloody hell everton and sunderlands squads even start to look ok.

have I had too much to drink?

I said this end of last season to my mate and nearly got me head torn off.

I think he looked a yard short for a little while now when we used to hold the ball better it wasn't such a problem but when we having some many attacks vs us atm that yard of pace is costing us in tight areas of games.

by **LFC2007** » Tue Oct 20, 2009 11:23 pm

I think we still have a decent chance of qualifying but we desperately need a few breaks on the injury front. It should be within our capacity to perform to a level not too dissimilar to that of late last season and when the opportunity arises to bring it all together; a fully fit Agger, Aurelio, Aquilani, Riera - in addition to Gerrard/Torres, I expect us to turn it around. Until then we'll just have to dig in, hope for a bit of luck (and we're well overdue some) and hopefully do enough to keep ourselves just about in it on each trophy front.

That starts on Saturday and I fully expect us to harness all the frustration and anger of the past four games. Focus, work hard and we'll give ourselves a chance in any game.

No mate, loop hole, if you are at your jov and you are not doing it right then they get rid of you at cut price rate.

stop talkin b0llocks, it will cost loads to get shot of Rafa

i put this to you, if we ended up 20 in the prem, out of the cl, out of the fa cup.......do you still think it would cost us 20 mil to get rid of him?

we are at a point now that the owners can say he is not doing the job right, its not as if they are just going to get rid of hin as they have found another manager they like better, if that was the case then yes it would cost us 20mil to get rid of him.

there will be a loophole that states they if he is not doing the job right and is not getting the results asked for he will be let go with a small thank you and goodbye.

as for the weekend, something just tells me we will not get beat and Rafa will save his job, but after tonight some think he might not even be at the club by then (going by others views on other forums) this forum is noy going that over the top when you look at what is being said on the other forums.
