painful stuff so far. Whose the guy doing the co com with Trev. Missed first few mins.

It's Jeff Kenna, at first I thought it was Dustin!

Unlucky Ngog

Guy:Incognito

Has 1 cross or corner hit a Liverpool head yet?

Great strength and skill to get the space to shoot

MR NINE

The way the commentator pronounces Kuyts name is very annoying. Sounds like a D4 accent saying "kite"

Yeah I mean how hard is it to pronounce "Leo Cullen"

Hoki

these guys are playing absolutely sh-ite , Unirea are much worse though

Mr Alan

albert not playin well.

Sir Gallagher

What is Rieras problem, just play properly for christsake, he should have a good second half though in fairness as that's all you get out of him.

Fink Goddie

awful stuff so far, the game is as bad as the commentation, had to laugh earlier when urz player was down injured 'eh think he mighta wrecked his head'.

Gerrard asking for more urgency but its not happening.

Super-Rush

I watched the Everton game on Tuesday:o and i can't recall seeing the two extra officials come on the pitch. Actually i don't remember seeing them at all.

Anyway
This game is crying out for Babel, i don't think Unirea would be able to handle him.

Mr Alan

people must watch a different babel to me.

Sir Gallagher

Ridiculous stuff. Why am i not surprised..

Nobody gets to see him thats the problem.

Morzadec

Despite how bad we've been I still think we'll win one or two nil. Just can't see Unirea holding out the whole game playing so deep and defensive.

Super-Rush

If he showed the same attitude tonight as he did against Arsenal then i think he would cause Unirea big problems.

mike65

Strange half, near total control and no product. Riera is not happening, nor is Aquilaini. I suspect we'll see Babel on but maybe 4-4-2 is whats really needed here.

magma69

What a dreadful 45 minutes. It's hard to rip apart a team that is so negative but we really should be creating more considering the amount of possession we have. We need a leader out there. Here's hoping Gerrard comes through for us in the second half.

His sloppiness and inconsistency is the problem

Doesn't he have 100 odd appearances? I've seen plenty of him. Pretty sure the management see him in training everyday too.

Kent Brockman

N'gog is not effin good enough!
There I've said it, its been annoying me for a while now:mad:
Masch is effin class, need to keep him in the summer.

Gerrard? It's the dross around him that need to pull their socks up.

i'm exhausted.


hope Babel comes on for Riera very soon

citytillidie

Thank god I am in work and cant see it.

Well forgive me for not having total confidence in the management anymore.

JPA

Who's this 14 year old on 3e?

Mr Alan

i think ngog is holding up the ball up really well, made a couple of good chances for people as well as creating a couple for himself from nothing. i like him.

Gimme a shout when you see him, wouldnt mind having a look at him play myself.

Hoki

who or what is that beside gary kelly

Spiritoftheseventies

Cant wait for Torres to come back. We are totally lost without him. Hate to say it but its true.

Mr Alan

Thats your choice. However trying to be funny, saying we haven't 'seen' babel to know if he's any good is ridiculous. That's all i was pointing out

mike65

NGog has at least two often three defenders for company, someone has to get closer, hence my 4-4-2 thought.

whatawaster

terrible performance. I don't know what everyone's on about, N'Gog has been our second best player after Kuyt.

Babel HAS to come on. Lifeless, paceless performance. It needs something. Every one of our attacking players is doing the same thing. Getting the ball, looking at the defender and realising they don't have the legs to get by him, so they pass the ball back to their full-back. It's not really good enough

Mr Alan

i'm on my phone, but pretty sure if you check his stats he has around 100 appearances for Liverpool. Amazing how he gets the time between tweeting, rapping and walking out of training.

Wiki says 70 appearances

RustySpoon

the ad for mass effect 2 was better than the whole first half.

It isnt ridiculous. Never given the opportunity to play 2 full games on the bounce is 3 years is imo.

Mr Alan

ok. i reckon 70 appearances is plenty of opportunity to judge a player. attitude stinks. brainless. poor touch. decent shot though to be fair.

Said it before myself but get used to it, this is liverpool now, full of players not good enough to challenge for the big trophies, not enough strength in depth
Its frustrating being an lfc supporter these days

why is he still at the club then? Rafa obviously feels his attitude is sufficiently good to be a liverpool player, because otherwise he could have sold him, replaced him with any number of players with good attitudes/decent ability and had plenty of change.
Rafa clearly feels he has more to offer than someone like that. He deserves starting chances in games like this, otherwise not cashing in on him was a terrible move
