Liverpool v Debreceni VFC Match Thread

Eire-Dearg

I hate refs like that. Do they have any inkling of how football works for a player?

shotamoose

Debreceni look pretty tidy, Insua looks sleepy. I'm watching on ITV, where Clive Tyldesley has adopted his 'schocked that small foreign team has not conceded dozens of goals' tone of voice.

K-9

Was that a Carragher pass?

God I despise that man.

that linesman on the right is annoying the hell out of me

Chucky the tree

In a competition like this were bookings can be very costly that was very stupid from Gerrard.

Dirk Kuyt. Because he just wants it more.

Diiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiirk.

Vintage Kuyt

Dirk!

Was going to say he was poor enough in the first half!

mike65

Funny half, a lot of poor long range passing with the odd peach, lot of needless tippy-tappy stuff. Torres drifting this way and that. Oddly Liverpool seem too fluid for thier own good.

I thought he was his usual good self. Every time theres a shot or a ball breaking in the box, he's there. It's no fluke he gets these goals.


As shotamoose said, he wants it more.

ANTIFA!

aw debrecen come on take it to those elites.

Tusky

As poor as the first half was, I was impressed with Benayoun and Kuyt. Riera looks a tad rusty.

Was more about general play, a quiet first half hour.

Hard to know from watching on the box, but Kuyt looks sharper than Nando.

mike65

Riera got better as the half progressed, could have had a brace.

Aye, Riera doesn't look anywhere near as inclined to take people on as he normally does, which sucks seeing as he's so good at it.

Hope the team push on now and get another few.

Been impressed with Lucas a lot in this game going forward.

yep me too. Though i do like his forward runs, he's emptied the midfield a little too often. He needs to play with this confidence alongside Mascherano

Jesus, how does Gerrard hit a ball like that?

K-9

That would have been a peach.

The BBC comments are as insightful as ever:

From LEGIN99M on 606: "Alberto Aquilani cannot get fit fast enough for Liverpool. Lucas is absolutely the worst player I have seen in a red shirt since Mark Walters."

they turned on the tv when Lucas slipped and mis-hit the ball, turned it off and posted that comment

whatawaster

I don't say this lightly, but bring on Babel

Chardee MacDennis

great skill from yossi...

Benny is so hot right now.

you shouldve kept that closet closed

If the TV pictures didn't show anything but the pitch you'd almost swear no-one is at the match - very quiet. But then again a poor game

8-10

Babel will come on. Should run them ragged a bit for a while. The ref is really annoying me, the Gerrard yellow looked harsh but I guess we don't know what was said.

Redzer7

Dive :P

Close

Gerard is pissing me off. Stay on your feet Stevie.

Nothing wrong with the card, the ref clearly told him not to go till the whistle and walked away holding the whistle up. Gerrard took it anyway, probably assuming the ref wouldnt have the bottle to book him for it.

Guy:Incognito

Poor from Skrtle there, completely missing the rest of the defence stepping up and playign the Debrecheni player onside.




Carra having a great game.

Yeh its been pretty poor. There's an air of inevitability about it like they're just playing it out. Never felt so comfortable on a one nil lead to be honest (lets hope I'm not jinxing us).

Wouldn't mind seeing some subs to rest some of the big boys/give them a chance to impress - Babel, Ngog or Voronin.

Another dive from gerrard, disgrace. Such a talented player flawed by a more than occasional tendancy to cheat.

Dublin_Gunner

I wish we'd hit the bloody target. This should be 6 or 7 by now, only our final ball / finishing is brutal.

And seriously, although Lucas isn't playing that bad, the amount of times he just doesn't make himself an option for a pass is disgraceful - keeping an opposition player between himself and the player with the ball.

This is annoying me. We should be well clear of these, they are effing useless.

Don;t even get me started on how terrible Torres is tonight (apart from about a 5 minute spell in the second half). He's still not fit IMO.

shotamoose

Torres's touch is way off at the moment, it's like he's thinking too far ahead before he even gets the ball.

From what I've seen this season I'm inclined to agree and it's a real worry. Looks flat-footed, whereas he's usually so sharp

jayteecork

He'd run his socks off for the cause even if it's a hopeless one

(about Kuyt)

Haha so true.
