Aye that's true Kess, and I am in no way absolving the team of criticism today. But I am consistent, I criticised similar performances under Rafa. I think there are a few posters a round here who failed to criticise similar performances under Rafa, yet now under Roy they are the first in line to stick the boot it.

i'm not sure there was one poster who defended any of our performances like this last season - they may have defended rafa but not performances of this level...

In fairness he does'nt have Lucas/Poulson playing in the England midfield with him. Lucky England.

Lucas and Poulsen don't fill me with joy as a pairing, but it really isn't their fault when Gerrard mis hits passes and shots, takes poor corners, makes generally wtf decisions.

monkey9 · 12-09-2010 5:12pm

Gerrard is bleeding from his ears?? :eek: Is he gonna die??

I can't imagine what you have seen in pool so far that makes you think we'll score...

Havent seen anythin in Pool! But have seen Brum give as much as i think they can and still not score! All it takes is one chance for Pool and can see them burying it!

Chucky the tree · 12-09-2010 5:14pm

Brum are struggling to keep up the pressure now the game is gone an hour, good time to bring meireles on as he'll get more time on the ball.

mike65 · 12-09-2010 5:14pm

Jovanovic showing some intent...

That'd be a likely draw so... although i think brum will win it. We still look a bit dodge on crosses...

joe123 · 12-09-2010 5:15pm

Someone would want to tell gerrard there's blood coming out o his ear....

mike65 · 12-09-2010 5:15pm

4-0 not

kingshankly · 12-09-2010 5:15pm

can someone please remind me how much we payed for glen johnson

Mister men · 12-09-2010 5:16pm

Nothing is going to change until the ownership issue gets sorted out but it's no excuse for this type of performance. Fact is as bad as some of our players are we have a better team/squad than Birmingham and we should be at the very least be able to string five passes together and not let ourselves be embarrassed by them. I just think at this stage the players have given in.

Pyjamarama · 12-09-2010 5:16pm

should have scored. Was there a foul on Poulsen tho..?

It's one and the same to be honest, to defend Rafa was to defend performances.

LuckyLloyd · 12-09-2010 5:16pm

lol, we are running so good today it's hilarious.

Too much!!!!!!!!!

He's decent going forward but rubbish at defending

JohnnyRyan99 · 12-09-2010 5:17pm

Game should be Dann and dusted.......

monkey9 · 12-09-2010 5:18pm

That was a brilliant cross from Gerrard. Pity nobody was on the end of it.

bluefinger · 12-09-2010 5:18pm

playing slightly better this half

In fairness to Roy rafa left him with a **** squad. Rafa inherited a better side off houllier than Roy has off rafa.

WTF?

who would you rather playing there??? He's better than 99% of other rightbacks in the league. Fullbacks in modern football are asked to attack more than defend. He doesn't fit our current system but hopefully at some stage he will since that will mean that we're becoming a good side again...

MonkeyTennis · 12-09-2010 5:21pm

Can some one tell Gerrard if he fancies doing one of his 'take the game by the scruff of the neck and bury the ball in the back of the net' that now might be a good time. That would suit me just fine

Raskolnikov · 12-09-2010 5:22pm

Greedy Torres.

tok9 · 12-09-2010 5:22pm

Thats more like it

~Rebel~ · 12-09-2010 5:22pm

Meirales and Babel on for Lucas and Maxi please!

when's the last time he did that?

JohnnyRyan99 · 12-09-2010 5:22pm

Oooooh that would have been Torrific......

if anyones gonna grab the game by the scruff of the neck it'll be the left back.

He thinks his point is really smart, it isn't. There is none of us who are 100% all knowing and can point to perfect posting records. Even if you accepted his point in full, we would be no worse than the dudes that stuck the boot in last year and promised us that a managerial change ('time for a change / freshen things up / etc') would improve things in of itself.

Instead, what's happened is what logically should have been expected to happen. We've brought in a worse manager, slightly downgraded the squad and performances are worse than ever. WHAT A SURPRISE!! :rolleyes:

Head bandage? Check. Red shirt? Check. Heroic performance? Not quite Terry Butcher, no.

Raskolnikov · 12-09-2010 5:25pm

Carragher not looking convincing at all.

JohnnyRyan99 · 12-09-2010 5:27pm

Pools defence is shocking....If they stay letting him Jerome around the box on his own, eventually Cameron will get a decent chance!

he's been solid enough so far

Sir Gallagher · 12-09-2010 5:28pm

Any chance of a fcuking sub Roy.

Raskolnikov · 12-09-2010 5:28pm

Unlucky Jerome. Liverpool are a shambles at crosses.

Remind me of how many 'beautiful' victories the genius of benitez got over his time at st. andrews!!!

How is it his fault? The vast majority of players out there are not his, he can only play the cards he's been dealt with.

Poulsen? Jovanovic wide while Babel is sitting on the bench is bit silly in fairness...

MonkeyTennis · 12-09-2010 5:29pm

seriously what must be going through Torres head tight now?

He could be in spain getting beaten in the sunshine.

Xavi6 · 12-09-2010 5:29pm

Stephen Carr is still quality. Up and down like he was ten years younger.

LuckyLloyd · 12-09-2010 5:30pm

Maybe Birmingham don't want to score?

IvySlayer · 12-09-2010 5:30pm

How many chances do Birmingham need?

monkey9 · 12-09-2010 5:30pm

Maxi off, Babel on. Just give us something, Does Roy vote Tory or something. Come on. CHANGE IT. PLEASE!!

We looked like winning in this fixture last year, remember? Laid siege for the last half hour. We do not look like (nor near deserve) winning today.

Poulsen is his player, Jovanovic was all but signed before Roy came to the club. As for Babel, well it's not like he's shown a whole pile in his previous few seasons, has he?

Yakult · 12-09-2010 5:32pm

Lucas off please. He's really waiting to use those subs.
