Tell me about it, we haven't turned up for the first half of a match this season, been consistently awful at the start of a match

on another note, I was happy with Insua, wouldn't mind him talking the left-back spot for a while

good win in the end.....very very poor first half......if the team heads for home right now they might be leave lucas in the shower.

Par for the course. Playing not so great, people spitting the dummy, and we score three goals and stay top.

Not bad today we grinded out a good result.

just hope our form can improve now think this is 8th week i said this hehe.

Gerrard looked best when he was right midfield posistion maybe rafa should just start him out there.(if he wants to win prem might have to just play RM) :oops:

the team still need play better.. poor football played

by **Emerald Red** » Sat Dec 06, 2008 6:00 pm

Wasn't sure about Insua, but obviously Rafa knows better of course. He done well. I said before the game that the wide areas need to have a massive impact, and that was the case. Babel was poor, and it reflected on the side. Benayoun was also a bit weak in the first half, but came out and gave it a real go in the second, and once Babel came off we looked better for it. I think Babel's days could be numbered because he isn't pulling his socks up at all.

A poor, poor performance...but the right result this time.

Blackburn seemed to sort of fall apart.

Yeah, that makes it all SO disappointing

Much better game today by our squad players; El Zhar, Insua, Benayoun and Hyppia all made solid contributions. I think we should use Riera permanently as a sub. He's a fantastic player but can only play about 40 mins of football.

MOTM: Hyppia
Only player to play well for the whole game.

Are we there to win it? The strategies shown so far only prove that we are there for a draw.
Benetiz must be pleased that his strategies are working. I have no ideas what is on his mind.

Liverpool spent so much to acquire players, most of them suddenly do not know how to pass properly and do not know how to receive a ball properly once they don the Liverpool shirt. I don't understand why the fans can't see that the trainings are all wrong. The strategy of one touch pass all for 90mins with no dribbling and no running with the ball is stupid. I guess the Liverpool of today no longer values creativity, just robotic Germany style (which ironically they have already abandon the style). While I love Liverpool to pass, I prefer they do it while running and creating spaces. Not standing and looking for static players or pass the ball behind. How often do we see a reasonably good opportunity wasted because of the inculcated instinct to pass behind so not to go forward too fast? Nobody opponents in-front of me, no problem still pass behind. What do they do during training? Exercise on the runmill?

What the hell is wrong with the wingers? flat crosses that are easily dealt with. Why do Benetiz buy these players? Hell even Blackburn players can cross better. There is no imagination nor creativity in Liverpools play. School boys one-two tactics doesn't even work on Blackburn players why are we using them? There are more advance one-two utilized by MU, Arsenal and Totenham. Learn from your opponents so you can excel quickly. Don't reinvent the freaking wheel.

On the side note, Gerrard seems to be un-motivated. Maybe Benitez told him we are going for a draw.
Oh well.. a draw it is then.

The game havn't even finished yet, wtf! reserve your judgment until the end of the game please

nail on head... 3-1 away win... i don't know bout you guys who were complaining at half time... but I'm pleased... maybe you guys are not pleased right now cause you can't complain anymore... :laugh:
