4 points lost Lando through his rotation.

Plz Swap Adebayor & Fabregas for Crouch & Alonso

Shall I get the razorblades now or later? Jesus what a complete overreaction granted a point against Birmingham is a bitterly disappointing result, it’s not as though Liverpool are out of the title race or out of title contention.

Rotation is not to blame today, it’s the players who failed to convert the nineteen or so chances which were created today and those who rely on Torres too much are going to be pulling every strand of hair from their heads if and when he gets injured.

This season much of the criticism has been directed at Rafa and not the players, this is wrong, both parties have made mistakes, I’ve not always agreed with Rafa’s team selection but today the team was good enough and more than capable of causing Birmingham blushes.

Rafa out!

You should always bet on the opposition.

So if we win, you are happy.

If we lose, you get money.

If we draw, you get nothing. Unless we keep another clean sheet and still remain unbeaten.

I can't bet against my own team. Though I dare say some folk on here could. Or at least they sound as if they could. :no

FFS Ive heard that :censored:

before.

Maybe things are starting to take its strain on Rafa

- Preassure of making big signings perform
- Falling out with Assistant manager
- Rotation not working
- International break at bad time
- Injuries

Im not trying to make excues for him. God knows everyone loves him for what hes done here so far but do you think maybe he is cracking up a bit and through his own stubborness he is unwilling to to do it any other way but his own?

Stop it with your common sense, you're ruining the thread.

I mean it's Rafa that plays the games you know. Has feck all to do with the lack of execution from the players on the pitch.

I am not sure what you call a chance but I only saw about 4 or 5, admittedly my stream was down for most of the second half but even so.......

It looks like pako was the brains behind the rafa's coaching team.... IMO

At the end of the day, it shouldn't have mattered what team we put out today, we should have had the class to beat Birmingham no matter if torres played or not

90 minutes to break down a team as poor as Birmingham should have been twice as much time as we needed.

Theres only one positive, we didnt get beaten today, but that should NOT be the only positive against opposition like that.

As said before I'm dreading when our fixture table gets harder.
