I know there arent many Babel fans out there now but Id love to see him get the game time up front Ngog is getting.

Ryan Babel is coming on, now we know why the increased offer from Brum was turned down.

Kess73

Time for Babel's monthly 6 minute run out.

rafa just caled him over to the bench. could make a super sub

Spiritoftheseventies

wonder if this the last time we see Babel in a pool shirt

Lucas is doing well since he came on.

He might have even scored from that header from the Gerrard free-kick

mike65

3 mins to hang on...Maxi nearly got his first.

jebidiah

kyrgiakos man of the match aganin. thats what you want

Washington Irving

Yes!!! Birmingham just scored. We'll only be 1 point behind Tottenham in a few mins

Yep, in fairness to him he has been decent this season. I don't think I will ever accept him as being of first team quality in terms of ability, but his workrate and attitude this season has been top class.

Brum equalised against spurs.

joe123

1-1 at spurs! great news for us.

That's good but Man City is the team we really want to see dropping points imo. Don't consider Villa or Spurs to be as big a threat to be honest.

mike65

Gerrard has looked much better too since his shadow got subbed.

Final whistle.

That'll do, esp with Spurs being held (fingers crossed)

People may want to watch MOTD or dont want to hear results of other matches.

Villa have a game in hand on both Liverpool and Tottenham. Man City 3 games in hand. Makes Liverpool's win today very important.

Kess73

Well that's that.

A much deserved Liverpool win


Liverpool were outstanding playing in a style that brought the 1970 Brazil team to mind. Verve, skill and passion were all on display with Gerrard playing like a better version of a cross between Pele and Jairzinho.

























Ok maybe it was a very average and forgettable game, with the points going the right way in my opinion. But it is three points, and that is what we need to keep getting

Jazzy

that was lovely

Masch seems to be back to his best recently. I was also impressed with Lucas when he came on. He seems to have quite a bit of confidence now and brings quite a bit of composure to the team when he plays.

Notice how quiet the thread is. I'm sure if Liverpool lost there would be a whole lot more people crawling out of the woodwork to have a bash.:rolleyes:

All in all it was average performance. We did do enough to win the game. Had more possession and were fairly solid at the back (thanks again to the Greek). Gerrard upped his game a microtad from completely rubbish to poor. Unfortunately a performance like this against stronger opposition would most likely have not given us the three points. My main worry is in the creativity department. Luck was very much on our side today and on an unluckier day we could be cursing another 0-0 draw. But still, I'll go all Rafa on your arses and say there are positives to be taken from the game:D. We won despite playing great football.

Lucas seems to have a habit of getting to crosses ahead of everyone else, if he could get in the habit of actually doing anything with the chances I'd be delighted.

Kyrgiakos, Insua, and Masch did well. Lucas did himself no harm with his 20 odd minute appearance.

Handsome Bob

Aquilani did well for the goal but I feel he was generally pretty careless on the ball, hopefully that's just a by product of a long lay off and someone who is still trying to settle into the team.

Spiritoftheseventies

yeah just saw the highlights. And yeah agree with Steven re aquilani. Did not exactly bust a gut trekking before that Bolton goal chance. Still two assists now in last three games. Something anyway.

Do you normally state the obvious?

If Liverpool lost at home to a team favourites for relegation it might spark off a debate or two, well done though for pointing that out.

Mr Alan

another performance from mascherano which further dispells the myth that he can't pass or play football, some great passes from him today.

Your angry tonight, I suppose Chelsea going 4 clear at the top,Liverpool winning and Arsenal tomorrow will do that to you.

Good performance today from Liverpool. Battle for 4th will be fun to watch.

True, this is an ideal game for him, at home, plenty of possession and we need a player like him to break them down.

Going for a 2-0.

My bad.... Tis back seat modding. And no I wasn't doing a teachers pet act. I just usually post that when reporting a post. Haven't really had much problem with it before but this charter is different so I retract that.

Did someone hack into Jazzy's account I wonder because his/her posts from earlier are all relatively "normal" if you will.

CHD

Drink. Doubt its hacked at 6am!
