good that we won - but i have to say babel was shocking. everyone in the team played relatively well, but to me, babel was really bad today. he made bad crosses, bad shots, didn't really tackle, could hardly control the ball. i know people say give the lad a chance, but i get more and more frustrated watching him.

maybe he will come good like how lucas has. i don't know. speaking of lucas - he did all right in the first few minutes he came on, but yeah, once preston started exerting pressure, he seemed to be a bit lost. did u all notice how masch and lucas seemed to be getting in each other's way quite a bit?

as for torres' goal - bonus, just glad he's back and looks raring to go. his turn and shot is just the kind of stuff we need.

It's almost starting to feel that way isn't it? His head is just all in the wrong places I felt like if he were to put one in he would be okay but he didn't and it just makes you wonder if he will ever straighten himself out here at LFC. He's better than this and he's a good character but I don't think Rafa or the fans will put up with TWO players missing sitters like this all the time. (Kuyt)

Since when has Keane been a lethal and ruthless finisher that never misses a half chance? If you've been watching him all his career playing for his country and various clubs, you'd know he's prone to missing quiet a few of these sitters. Just because the club spent 20 million on him, it all of a sudden won't transform the man into a Ian Rush in front of the net. He is what he is. Prone to mistakes, but does his fair share of other stuff on the pitch. His goal tally will balance his "sitters" out at the end of the season. Judge him then.

Yeah that's what I was thinking to myself too though, felt like people didn't watch this guy enough and all they saw was the goal numbers he put up at Spurs last season. I didn't know what we were getting but the price, goal scoring tally from last season and expectations put on him from the start made everyone think he was this amazing world class striker. Bit exaggerated but you get the point.

I still like the guy, I've been one of the consistent supporters of him but I just don't know if the fans will be and I don't think the atmosphere will be any good for him mentally.

Our best players were the usual suspects again this season - Alonso, Gerrard and Riera. All quality.

Carragher didn't have his best game and again I didn't think Agger was particularly good (sorry s@int!). He sails too close to the wind at times and is too fond of having his hands all over strikers. Carra was bad for that as well tonight and another ref would have given a pen for one of those. Carra's excuse is he was out of position though. Even Hyypia I thought didn't win that many headers tonight which is very unlike him.

Thought Cavalieri looked better second half, came out and took a few crosses to take the pressure off, but he made a mistake coming off his line in the first half when Insua got him out of trouble.

One thing I couldn't understand tonight - why was Carragher the full back to push forward all the time? Insua was playing like he was told to sit - he never wanted to get beyond Riera. On the other side Carra was trying to overlap Babel as if he had been told to bomb up at every opportunity (first half anyway).

Not our best performance, but having said that if we'd taken our chances first half it could have been 6-0 so we weren't exactly bad either. That man Keane the culprit again.

as usual on here its the same people who reply to each other all the time. 2 different people have passed comment on babel and have been totally ignored. if you want more debate on here you really will have to stop these little cliqes and include more people or what is the point.?and if you ignore this i'm going in and taking me ball with me

Were you saying that when he scored against Arsenal?

I didnt think so

Just ignore him mate he's an absolute clueless gurning little kunt.Only pops up every once in a while for a whinge!

You are taking your anger and frustration out on me. I can take it no problem, if it makes you better.

I, on the other hand, like to focus on the team and the game.

I see a pizz poor irish weak, soft, sissy striker with no confidence, no pace, no penetration, no strenght, no airial presence. THat is an easy call for me. He's out.

We can't afford to waste chance after chance. Now we have Alonso out injured. He has been our BEST player this yerar. First half; Alonso - good half. Good control of the game.
Second half; NO Alonso - Preston is taking over midfield

We may pay the price for Keanes wasted chances. Lets see.

I put the team ABOVE the player. I support Liverpool. That you may not understand.

How about you fuc'k up?
Last season you were always yapping about Kuyt..The fact is thats all you do..complain!

Never once in my time on here have I seen you post anything remotely positive about LFC!
You are just a yappy gurning little kunt,thats all you'll ever be.. Up!

Yeah right... Did you read my half time newcastle post when we were 2-1 up? I may repeat it for you:

This is total football. Amazing away game. Creating about 10 goal opportunities in 45 minutes. Newcastle is not looking like a premier league side. I can easily see them go down. I suppose they will sack Joe Kinnear pretty soon and try to get a real manager.

First half ratings

Reina 6

Carra 6
Hyypia 8
Agger 7
Insua 6

Babel 7
Gerrard 7
Lucas 8
Masch 8
Benayoun 8

Kuyt 7

A really lucky goal for newcastle at the end doesn't take away anything from the lads.

So I guess youre right? Or just trying to cover up your failure to understand the art of modern football?

I support the team, you put players ahead of the team. In my book only Torres, Masch, Gerrard, Alonso, Carra, Skrtl and Reina are players able to define the team.

Your beloved Kuyt, I don't like. He has good skills in some areas but desperately lacking in others. Are we LFC or are we Leicester? If we are Leicester then Kuyt is good enough. If we are Stoke then Keane is good enough. If we are LFC we must be looking for a whole lot more.

Either you don't understand the game, or you are denying the obvious.

I dont like having a go at our players but Babel is getting on me nerves . I watched him in particular today to see what i was missing with him an maybe it was me who was wrong . but on loads of occasions he went in with his back instead of using his head. There was one ball he went for in about the 75th minute an he could of easily used his head to knock it on an then turn an go . But he went in with his back again an gave a foul. Another dissaponted game again today from him.

Hopefully Xabi isn't too bad,just as we get one back from injury too.

Babel is

. lol He is far too inconsistent and I really don't think he is destined to be anything bigger than what he is. He's a good sub and a nice change of pace when needed but he isn't very smart.

I think the problem is we all know Babel is struggling ..... not really much else to say about him thats not already been said mate.

He was awful tonight Nanny. Didn't want the ball and didn't want to go in for a challenge. I think his number's up at Liverpool.

I want to hear updates on Masch and Xabi, anyone getting anything official yet?

wow a reply

. when he arrived you could see the potential thats there but is he just wasting his talent, playing out of his favoured position or just not able to adapt to this league ?

Just don't think he's a liverpool player. He'd be perfect for a team like Arsenal but we need someone who will give a bit more all over the pitch, not just the opposing half.
