mike65

Quick , where's me Tin Foil hat ?

Like the invention there even if it failed.

PHB

What an absurdly **** free kick. Chelsea were completely onto it.

MementoMori

Perfect position for Pacheco for that free-kick :mad:

Sizzler

Whatever about the ifs and buts of Liverpool beating Chelsea today and allowing Utd to seize on the chance to win the league I have to say this is a truly spineless performance from the pool. I know they havent had a great season but this is surely as poor as I have ever seen them play.

I am pissed off about that, don't worry. United's position is United's fault. I'll never say otherwise. Doesn't mean however I should look the other way at a disgraceful joke performance from Liverpool.

You're beyond laughable at this stage. Pool came out to win but just aren't good enough. If you honestly believe a bunch of professional footballers arent trying you should get the old tin foil hat out of the press.

I think I'm entitled to be pissed off at that.

Wont be down to us If united lose the league. We put out a strong team but first goal killed us off. Remember Aqua was inches away from scoring and Kuyt was caught just a few yards offside.
We haven't been great all the same.

Sir Gallagher

I think some people are forgetting that most of the Liverpool players out there have played 120 mins of football on Thursday night.

JerryHandbag

I know its been a funny old season but even a Liverpool comeback here would be stretching it

whatawaster

Seriously WTF Rafa, bring Pacheco on. Said it already - no good reason not to have given him half an hour today

Just be pleased you haven't had to put up with 40 odd of them this season like we have!

You know what, you can say what you want about Kuyt, and I've said plenty, but he is one of the few players out there really trying to win the game.

Kuyt, Reina, Masch, Agger, Lucas, Kyriakos have all put in a great shift - considering the exhausting game on thursday.

Maxi was working very hard before coming off injured.

Ayala trying his best, Babel not looking great, Carragher wasn't looking too hot before injury, Gerrard being Gerrardm and Aquilani always doing his thing.

Talking ****e PHB? Yup.

Well it's obvious that they, like the rest of us just want this season to end.

D'Agger

Has to be said - this season has seen Malouda turn into a serious player!!

everdead.ie

I swear if Pacheco turns out to be rubbish in the next couple of seasons boards is going to go into melt down

MementoMori

No Pacheco

Aquilani not up to 90 minutes

kingshankly

Bringing ngog on instead of pacheco is senseless

Here ya go again if you're going to cry about it.

mayordenis wrote: »

I think you should look at the week Liverpool have had 120 minutes only 60 hours ago, came out of the traps well but can't keep the tempo, 2 injuries which have forced subs within 60 minutes, and not to mention that Chelsea are fresh and quality.

whatawaster

pointless sub.

Pacheco may well turn out to be rubbish. But he's been our standout player in the reserves for 2 years and deserves a chance. We need to test him. We aren't going to learn any more about N'Gog in the next 10 minutes

In all honesty doesn't really matter of this stage. The sting has gone out of the game totally.

If you think that Mascherano, Kyriakos, Maxi or Lucas put in a good shift, your standards are so low it's almost depressing to me.

As for Reina working hard, what is he doing, jumping jacks or something, he's the ****ing goalie. Yeh, ****ing top class ****.

What's laughable about saying I think they are phoning it in? It's not like I'm the only one to think so. Even Pool fans are saying they are underperforming.

Have a read of the United thread after the Atletico game. I was the one making the exact points you made and saying it would be bad for United.

All I wanted was a committed performance. I won't apologise for being pissed off at not seeing one. You would be the same in my shoes and you know it.

Really don't see what he could get out of this game. Team is playing so badly that I think he benefits from not playing it. All he'll learn here is how to play badly and lose.

PHB

Chelsea songs in full voice.

mike65

Ah the Mancs are getting all stroppy, you know what you needed to do to win the league. How many games have Utd lost this season?

mike65

Another fine save.

WIZE

Sorry Playing a game on thursday is no excuse for losing a game on sunday

Behave. Reina cared enough to pull off a top class save when we were two nil down. And even now he pulled off another double save. He has been immense once more

Of we are. All we ask is for a decent performance when we actually want Liverpool to win

It appears to be building up to 'I'm not saying it is all Liverpools fault that in spite of losing 7 league games ourselves we didn't win the league. It is though, it's a conspiracy'

Absolute no doubt, he's been outstanding. That's not what we were talking about though.

whatawaster

Liverpool started this game the better team, but a stupid goal we gave away knocked the stuffing out of us mentally, and after 120 minutes 3 days ago, we've little left physically. That we aren't giving 100% now is understandable, given the season we've had, and what we have left to play for in the league. Some Utd fans are just being pathetic to moan about pool's performance.

Hate somebody who doesn't watch French football or knew very little about Malouda before he came to the league where my favourite team play - g'way would you! Malouda came to the premiership and had two fairly average seasons, this one has seen him turn into a fantastic winger imo

I'm basing my opinion on what I've seen of him, apologies for not following the French league and being as knowledgeable as yourself

One big advantage of having Pacheco on is that it would mean that Gerrard would be in the box for corners and we would have a serious threat from set-pieces around the box.

Chucky the tree

You'd swear reading this thread chelsea are winning 4 or 5 nil. Chin up united fans, there's always next year.

To be fair to Malouda, he was pretty decent towards the end of last season. This season however, he's really stepped it up a level.

Great idea, but I can't remember the last time Liverpool won a corner!

well that means spurs are a much better team than utd so
