I dont see the relevance in you showing how concerned you are about Liverpool hoofing the ball up to Carroll.

Have a read of the charter and it may become clear.

K-9

Wow, a half decent cross for Carrol.

They may not travel well, but they're not fools. Do the same thing over and over and an U-8 side could figure it out and adapt.

Peyton Manning

A mind-numbingly boring clash between two very frustrating sides whose tactics are head-wrecking to say the least.

But enough about The Muppet vs Melion, how's the game going?

BERBA

Thrilling game so far:eek:

The Muppet

well Braga haven't been "thumped" in the first half that's for sure.

This game has shown how much we need quality on the wings.

12 years and counting.....

Yakult

What a pile of sh*t.

Will I Amnt

What a poor half of football,2 poor teams tbh.

Headshot

Muppet has 60% of possession but Melion will be playing towards the kop in the 2nd half so it may all change then

BERBA

muppet what time is the champions league draw on in the morning?

K-9

Might as well get it out of the way, Pacheco on soon?

Muppet's in trouble then, he can't defend The Kop to save his life!

I think its 11

Surely a fan of a team in the draw should know that though.

Good to see everyone is in tonight.

As for the game, meh. Cole seen "in glimpses" Carroll has battled well but needs some players to show for him.

opr

I can't remember a single time when we have got to the line and wiped a cross in during open play which is criminal when you have a forward like Carrol.

We also lack any real invention or creativity from the middle of the park.

Nobody really rising to him at all, same old same old tactics. Needs new tactics.

Ill let you find that out and ill even forgive you for asking, afterall this is the first season you've been in the competition.

**** first half, just by-passing the midfield with the hoof up front

Without doubt the most entertaining thing I''ve read/seen the last 50 mins

evil_seed

Complete manure so far. Nobody wants to get on the ball. When they do, we can't even string 3 passes together. Totally bereft of any creativity. Lumping up to Carroll isn't going to win us the game. I feel sorry for him cos he can offer a whole lot more than being our Niall Quinn.

BERBA

Kirstein due on soon ............smokin hot

Agree 100% but weve got nobody to do that unfortunately

I expect you'll be on yer knees all night praying to avoid United.

Looking good so far.

Probably, Liverpool were 5-10 minutes away from a Semi-Final in our first time in the competition.

• 42 Gulacsi,
• 16 Kyrgiakos,
• 38 Flanagan,
• 26 Spearing,
• 28 Poulsen,
• 12 Pacheco,
• 24 Ngog

Ngog for Maxi, and pacheco for Cole (Whos looked good but too slow).

Only thing we can do imo. Least a bit of pace on Ngog, might get a few crosses. Pacheco might add a bit of creativity too. No point having wide players out there.

Id also swap Wilson and Johnson. Alan is causing a lot of problems down their right hand side.

K-9

So Spurs hoping to avoid United is relevant to this thread.

Relevant to Liverpool - Braga?

The Muppet

Liverpool will have to up their game second half if they are to have any prospect of european football next season.

Thanks for that, good to see you're concerned about us and our performances too.

Wouldnt ya think 3e would sort out their stream, still out of synch:rolleyes:

Anyone want to open a book on how soon it will take for a United fan in this thread to mention the Nani leg break?

Melion wrote: »

Its ok though, our performance at Anfield 2 weeks ago against United show they do know how to play football.

lol haven't watched the 1st half, couldn't care less but you're the one who seems to be obsessed about United from reading it.

playing in to the KOP surely worth a couple of goals to the pool

Well it shows you badly off form the Muppet is when Berba is the only one rising to him in a Pool thread. Has seen his best days I'm afraid.

I'd bring off that ref and bring on howard webb.

Ebbs

A Liverpool goal would make this game so much more interesting.

Would mean braga would be inclined to attack...and so much more dangerous with the away goal potential.

Kyrgiakos on for Wilson, Carra to RB and Johnson to LB. Both pushing forward, Wilson has looked out of his depth tonight.

Pacheco on for Maxi. Cole to the Left, Pacheco Right, and leave Kuyt up top with Carroll. Try to get Cole/Pacheco/Johnson in down the wings.

BERBA

someone show carroll how to keep himself onside:rolleyes:
