Don't ever remember seeing Joe Cole take a pen for Chelsea or the hammers before. bit odd to start now.

Genuine question but who else would have taken it. Gerrard is the main peno taker and I don't think Torres takes them. Obviously it was to give Joe a chance to score his first Liverpool goal.

Aurelio should have taken that. That could cost us dearly.

Or even Torres. I would have put my house on him to score.

I think it was a case of give it to Joe to break his duck. Which i hope doesnt come back to haunt us.

Extreme sarcasm

After Torres and probably Aurelio
I presume Jovanovic has taken a fair few pens.
I'd imagine Maxi would have a decent ability as well

Aurelio, The Serb, Maxi, Lucas.

Should never be a consideration, especially in only his 3rd competitive game.

Mr Alan

Torres sucks at penos, wouldn't want him near it either.

We need a bigger lead than this to take to Turkey. Or certainly play a stronger side at least.

My first choice would have been Jova, and im astonished it wasn't him. He's a recognised penalty taker with an excellent record with them. Cole meanwhile never takes them.

Very early days for Cole obviously, but i really don't want there to be too much fawning over him. Very much don't need another ego calling the shots, when others are better placed to do things for the team (a la Gerrard with corners for example)

MementoMori

How did that not go in?

Remaining outfield subs - Wilson, Skrtel, Spearing, Pacheco, Dave

No real point in taking Joe Cole off with the suspension so unless Pacheco replaces one of the wide players or Dave replace Torres not much in the way of options.

Jaysus, Anfield is like a library....

ShamoBuc

again.... Lucas getting more forward, poulsen beginning to look a little more comfortable

I agree. I hope i am wrong and that Roy gave him the duty beforehand.

MementoMori

(a la Gerrard with corners for example)

On this Jova has done well on corners tonight.

ShamoBuc

was there a foul there... no

SlickRic

f*cking protected keepers.

5starpool

Stupid ref. Not a damn thing wrong there. This'll turn sour yet tonight.

Handsome Bob

Nothing wrong with that at all. :mad:

~Rebel~

for fuck sake perfectly valid goal! Fuckin keeper.

monkey9

Joke of a decision. That's a good goal he's disallowed. FFS :rolleyes:

Sideshow Mark

Nothing wrong with that, apart from their 'keeper not getting booked for faking it.

MementoMori

Dave and Torres on the pitch together :eek::eek::eek::eek:

Hint of offside about it

CR 7

Excellent decision based on that angle. Definitely offside.

~Rebel~

Odd decision making from Torres there, loads of options on the break and just slowly ran into the man instead...

citytillidie

feck off ref nothing wrong with that

ShamoBuc

How many frees have they given away... a few yellows would have sorted out the persistent fouling

I suppose you spotted that in real time

smoochie06

Perfectly good debut goal for Poulsen ruled out.

Ridiculous especially when you see it on replay.

The free was given for a foul on the keeper not offside

monkey9

Actually yeah, Poulsen was offside.

Don't think that's why it was disallowed though.

SlickRic

seriously, these guys won't stop fouling.

a few yellows ref, FFS.

Aurelio has been very wasteful tonight

foul on keeper, debatable
Offside, yes
goal, no

thegen

Love to see the Turks foul count. Not letting game flow at all

CR 7

It was still the right decision, no matter how it was arrived at.:P

There was no foul on the keeper, it is not debateable at all.

Doesn't matter anyways, wasn't given.

I've a bad feeling about the last few mins though.

Gerty

Really want the second goal. I can see there being nervous moments at the end if we don't, don't want a 1-1. Please now Liverpool, preferably Lucas(header or not).

Foul on keeper , no
Offside , debatable
Goal , obviously no.

SlickRic

the ref has destroyed this game this last 20 minutes.

Looked pretty rusty - last game he played was in March though.

Ref could defintely have given a few more yellows.

I think its the persistent fouling of the turks. Lack of yellows didnt help either

kingshankly

if Liverpool concede another late goal the ipads getting it

MementoMori

Don't think the Maxi Dave switch worked out all that well - lost our way since that happened.

monkey9

Roy looks mightily p!ssed off.

Probably because he knows this tie could and should be in the bag and he could have sent the U18s to Turkey.

- missed penalty
- stone wall pen not given
- Poulsen goal not given
- Lucas on a plate header
- Jovanovic chance saved by keeper
- Torres shot from distance
