Hope rafa finally learns...don't fu@k with the team.....
1)No more Alonso and Gerrard Midfield combo (derby were over-running us)
2)Keep Riise at LB..... Auerlio is a worse LB than Riise
3)No more Babel on the wings please.......rafa you are gonna spoil his career.
4)Kewell, Gerrard, Torres, Carra, Mash and Benayoun(Pennant) have to start all our league games....doesn't matter if we play against wigan or fulham. The other players are not good enough to replace them.
We were over-run by derby in midfield.....can u believe it ?
Are you saying we should drop Alonso?
He was our best player by a mile today.
The majority of the team were so lackadaisical in the 2nd half. It's likely the missed chances got to them but we should be strong enough to impose ourselves on teams like Derby even if they do get a lucky goal. (Am I the only one who thought they had 3 players offside? Admittedly my picture quality wasn't that good).
I'll be happy when Pennant gets fit. Actually I'll be happy when Rafa realises Voronin should be 5th choice striker and last choice winger!!!
Alonso was great....he is a good player. This is not a dig at Alonso....But Gerrard loses his edge when he is paired when Alonso IMO. He was playing too deep covering for alonso.
But when it became evident we needed to win...he was running all over the place.
The thing is when he plays with Mash..Gerrard will terrorise the opposition players from the start of the match.
Thats my take....
BTW, John Burridge also has the same opinion as me....And Pee Wee too.....
that was a performance worthy of MOTM but before gerrard , i think alonos would have to be MOTM for me , he never gave one ball away , nothing , his passes were pin point accurate . i think that due to being too used to be playing with masch who defends and lets gerrard attack , today's change gerrard had to do both , alonso was a good player today but gerrard needs to be shifted to thr right if we want to accomodate both alonso and masch and kewell on the left with babel and torres upfront . teams would shiver against us
Quick pass me whatever you are smoking before they bust your joint..
Pin point acuracy from Alonso? You got to be kidding me. He was
poor. Please watch the match again from start to finish. His pass has been a disappointment. To be honest, if Liverpool wants to be in a next level challenging for the title we need better playmakers (more than one). We have absolutely no idea in the midfield department.. including Alonso.
