Liverpool v Fulham [Match Thread]

h/t Fulham have had more possession are running the midfeild and looked more like scoring.

I know Lucas bashing is pretty much standard fare, but seriously he is never going to thrive at Liverpool. Alonso on and withdraw Keane into 4-2-3-1.

Chardee MacDennis · 22-11-2008 4:48pm

Lucas' performance has been atrocious...

whatawaster · 22-11-2008 4:48pm

Babel on for Keane.
Alonso on for Lucas.

darkskol · 22-11-2008 4:49pm

Disappointing first half...agree with Alonso to come on to add a bit of creativity.

Chardee MacDennis · 22-11-2008 4:49pm

---Alonso--Masch---

Keane
Kuyt

Riera

Torres

is the only way to go.

MementoMori · 22-11-2008 4:50pm

Bah - poor performance Torres and Reina aside.

Lucas certainly hasnt impressed so far.

Only upside is we have to improve in the second half and that Chelsea still nil nil with NUFC

jesus_thats_gre · 22-11-2008 4:53pm

Everyone has been extremely meh so far. Torres is looking like he might do something but his control has been brutal and virtually everyone run has resulted in him loosing possession.

I am not feeling good about this match at all.

Chardee MacDennis · 22-11-2008 4:55pm

boo to all the negativity, alonso to change the game. 2-0.

whatawaster · 22-11-2008 4:56pm

I do think it's unfair to single out Lucas. I think Riera, Keane, Mascherano have all been as or more ineffective than he has.

Babel needs to come on. Play him on the right and stick Dirk up front.

mike65 · 22-11-2008 4:57pm

Torres is trying to force the pace, cos he knows it won't come from Lucas. Its not his fault and still coming back from injury he's still not at his best anyway.

Mike

darkskol · 22-11-2008 5:04pm

Here we go with the second half..no changes as of yet.

mayordenis · 22-11-2008 5:08pm

almost from torres, looking better immediately.

have to say agger has made alot of good challenges today.

darkskol · 22-11-2008 5:10pm

ahhh another chance for Torres

MementoMori · 22-11-2008 5:14pm

Lot more urgency this half anyway

darkskol · 22-11-2008 5:15pm

How long before a change is made?

monkey9 · 22-11-2008 5:16pm

Really need to bring on Alonso now to pull the strings

mike65 · 22-11-2008 5:19pm

With Arsenal about to drop out the reckoning for the season and Chelsea still drawing we have to get something out of this.

Alonso warming up

Mike

mayordenis · 22-11-2008 5:19pm

alonso, babel and el zhar all now please.

darkskol · 22-11-2008 5:22pm

Yeah I think Alonso needs to come on now.

mayordenis · 22-11-2008 5:22pm

it's like the second coming of christ.

Here he is now Alonso on for MASCH?

mike65 · 22-11-2008 5:24pm

Masch is off! Crowd booing.

Mike

mayordenis · 22-11-2008 5:24pm

unimpressed with the pool suppost today. disgusting we don't boo like that.

I would give anything for lucas to score a belter to win this.

Irishpimpdude · 22-11-2008 5:24pm

darkskol · 22-11-2008 5:27pm

nearly a spectacular from Torres

mayordenis · 22-11-2008 5:27pm

yea rafa is the mad one - we need a goal - do you understand that? no, thought not.

noodler · 22-11-2008 5:28pm

Calm down, it is hard to score if you can't win the ball though, don't you think?

mayordenis · 22-11-2008 5:29pm

brilliant save

darkskol · 22-11-2008 5:29pm

So close by Kuyt, good save.

Paddy@CIRL · 22-11-2008 5:29pm

Unlucky Kuyt !

mayordenis · 22-11-2008 5:29pm

they're not even trying to go forward anymore.

noodler · 22-11-2008 5:32pm

Pressure is rarely maintained for a sustained period without the opposition having at least some of the ball.

Lucas scored any prem goals? I know Masch has one. I can't even see Lucas as a better option in an attacking sense!

Yea i do understand that smartass my opinion was that lucas should have came off not masc what are you getting smart like that for? were all on the same side

darkskol · 22-11-2008 5:34pm

Kuyt with a chance over corssbar after nice pass by carra

Paddy@CIRL · 22-11-2008 5:36pm

Fulham seem to be content to sit back and soak up any pressure coming at them from the centre but seem to be struggling when Liverpool use the width, good spell for Liverpool, but possesion and pressure won't get us three points.

mike65 · 22-11-2008 5:37pm

Its...

Time!

Mike

Irishpimpdude · 22-11-2008 5:37pm

Reira for babel hope he can show his skill today

darkskol · 22-11-2008 5:37pm

Babel on for Riera

Chardee MacDennis · 22-11-2008 5:41pm

is keane still on?

Irishpimpdude · 22-11-2008 5:41pm

El Zhar for kuyt

darkskol · 22-11-2008 5:41pm

Haven't seen much of Keane this half.

mike65 · 22-11-2008 5:44pm

This is going to end in disaster.

Chelsea will win and Liverpool will loose.

Mike

Davei141 · 22-11-2008 5:45pm

It wouldnt be surprising anyway

darkskol · 22-11-2008 5:48pm

nearly by lucas

...4 mins added time

MementoMori · 22-11-2008 5:50pm

4 mins

come on

eZe^ · 22-11-2008 5:51pm

I'm gonna put myself this out there, if Liverpool can win this in the last minute, I think they'll win the league.

darkskol · 22-11-2008 5:52pm

Come on one last charge.

Irishpimpdude · 22-11-2008 5:54pm

Ah well at least chelsea drew

mike65 · 22-11-2008 5:54pm

Sighs.....so a great chance blown. I'm willing to say arrogance was the issue here "oh its only Fulham". Alonso should have started if you lead by say 2 after 60 then you can make subs with some latitude, trying to change things late on with subs is harder.
