Stupid 3e commentators. Torres misses a difficult chance and now it's a sign of how bad he is playing and he is not the same as last year.

Suppose if he scores later then they'll say he's back in the groove.

Nah don't forget it's 3e they'll prob say he could've scored it better or some shít :rolleyes:

ShamoBuc

Livelier 2nd half anyway.

Not so sure....Utrecht look quite dangerous....or is our defence bad, and we make them look good....not so sure!

everdead.ie

Nesu was terrible there Torres too honest could of had a penalty but maybe thats a good thing that he didn't try to go down.

D'Agger

Torres looked fairly sharp there!

jesus_thats_gre

Looking forward to seeing this Maguire kid.

D'Agger

Fúck me - Lucas idea of giving an option to pass to atm is runing ahead of the player in posession into an area where the ball cannot reach him! :mad:

Time for a sub or two

This is pathetic. Why he's brought on maxi I don't know. He has been terrible since joining.

Worringly does anyone think Torres has lost his pace? Since his knee injury he seems to have lost that burst of acceleration.....

happyoutscan

What a crap shot.

Kelly has been horrendous. Played out of position though.

The curse of the LFC fullbacks

happyoutscan

Johnson is f*cking hopeless.

Yeah i fear he might never recover it. Hopefully he will though. He's a class act and would be a pity to see him loose that burst of speed.

A draw isn't a bad result after the very average performance.

kingshankly

please Roy take this brand of football elsewhere

Dublin_Gunner

Whole team is shocking tonight. Bloody awful.

Liverpool are bloody painful to watch under Roy so far.

It really looks like Roy has told him stop over lapping. I'm beginning to get sick of the **** hodgson has us playing already.

Meireles on the wing is a WTF moment if there ever was one.

Leiva

Good away point for Fulham Liverpool

ShamoBuc

A draw, no injuries and now I am going to forget this match ever happened.... saying that alot lately.

mike65

Dunno why Johnsons getting stick, he's been the most likely to get an assist.

Big Knox

Lucas Leiva is not a footballer, I have absolutely no idea what he is but **** me he is not a footballer.

joe123

Lucas and poulsen together are ****ing **** on a stick. How can the yes man not see that?

beardo81

Can the players be disillusioned with Roy already? Nobody out there looked like they wanted to play, where's the spirit gone from the team?

daithijjj

15 months of complete dross.

everdead.ie

I think it would have been a harsh Peno against Carragher he seemed to go down after Carragher had let go of him

Also would of liked to see Meireles and Aqualani in the center of the park instead of Lucas and Poulson(I know Aqua has gone on loan but i think he was under utilised at LFC)

D'Agger

The only word for that performance, and the brand of football we've been playing for quite some time now is this:

Pathetic! :mad:

The result isn't bad.

Performance was shocking. Again.

I think that's unfair. We were pretty poor at times last season, but we never had a sustained run of utter crap like we've had so far this season

SlickRic

wow.

i'm not even overreacting in saying there was not one redeeming feature about that performance.

there was no energy, no fight. we were completely rigid in our formation, and so predictable in our build up play.

Torres indeed seems to have lost his burst of pace. and what the f*ck was he doing with that chance?

Pucas...for the love of God, they must not play together. it is an exercise in futility. plus, Lucas seems to have gone backwards since last year.

Mark Wright said something quite insightful on commentary. he talked about Liverpool players' first touch. more often than not, that touch is backwards. Rafa was always slightly cautious, but i don't think i'm overstating it to say it's got a hell of a lot worse.

poor Kelly must not play LB again.

i honestly, truly, and i don't care if this is completely over the top and unfair on Roy, but i really cannot take much more of this absolute sh*te - this passive, pathetic, timid football Roy has us playing.

it's an embarrassment right now.

even if we'd won that 1-0, i'd be saying the same.

i know Roy needs time, blah blah blah, but there really should be some redeeming qualities to our play by now, something to hold on to, some remnant of optimism.

no, not one.

oh, i found one redeeming feature...the f*cking turgid affair is over.

murpho999

Very worrying performance tonight.

Seems to be a complete lack of confidence throughout the team

Lack of ambition shown by midfield, at no stage was any good pass made to give strikers a chance.

Defence lookin very weak, a better team would have torn them apart tonight.

Roy's tactics or lack of is probably the most worrying of all. Why have Lucas & Poulsen in same line up? Why take Cole off for Maxi in the 80th minute? Why play a limited and uncreative brand of football that will not lead to chances for Torres and therefore cause a lack of goals and therefore shatter his confidence and faith in club?

Really think that if and when new owners come in that Roy will be treated like Mark Hughes at City and shown the door. He is not the man to take this club forward.

Will stop here as I could go on all night!

What price we get a draw against Blackpool on Sunday?

We have had some exceptionally bad runs over the last 2 years. 6 points out of 27 in the league in rafas penultimate season and something very similar last season.

It all basically stems from no creativity in central midfield and out wide. Its boring tedious monotony watching us for a long time.
