Sack Hodgson!

Yakult

Skrtel was always losing that. Allamona (Sp?) is the best player on the pitch so far. Decent save.

Shelvey for Henderson please.

Or Gerrard, or Spearing, all Cm's hvae been rubbish.

Defence is grand, but we get to midfield, and can't pass through, so we just hoof it down out of play.

Horrible shíte altogether.

I would say get spearing off because he is the most limited player of our 3 cm's on the pitch .

Reading the last few pages makes me happy I don't have Setanta!

Liverpool were more entertaining to watch under Hodgson at this stage of the season!

Washington Irving

Skrtel outpaced, decent save from Jones

ASOT

Could easily be 3-0 down

Even our defence looks dodgy, gomel have had the better chances

Stevecw

Sterling gave away ball far too easily there, and Skrtel caught badly for pace...Jones did well to save it.
Worrying display so far.

Cant be easy for the team to carry a passenger who plays in such a position. Need a good player for DM and Spearing isn't close to that.

Grayditch

Oh my God, that was ridiculous.

Unbelievable how poor this Liverpool team is looking.

livinginkorea

Christ...the first half can't come quick enough.

gaelicred

Brendan needs to tell them to keep hold of the round white thing

Washington Irving

Dodgy defending

Helix

on another day pool would be 4 or 5 down already

definitely playing out like they'll grab a 1-0 win against the run of play - it always happens

5starpool

How are Gomel not ahead?

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

This last 20 minutes has been a shambles. Home team awful wasteful

Should be at least 2 down, this is terrible. Needs to be sorted at ht.

Reading this thread makes me sad

Kinda glad I'm at work instead of watching the game, sounds horrific.

Leiva

Lol players standing static with ball at feet looking to pass.

Yakult

It will get better, might take a few games but it will get better.

Christ, I'd almost managed to forget about Stewart Downing over the summer

RayCon

Even the ref doesn't like Downing

billymitchell

Rodgers out!!

It's real bad, man. I was looking forward to this. It's just an awful game.

FernandoTorres

Spearing is breaking down so many moves. He's never been good enough, shouldn't be near first choice for any game.

I have nightmares about him when i watch Family Guy

Washington Irving

What was Henderson booked for?

Yakult

Thank ****!

Paully D

Hard to believe Liverpool are still withing touching distance of Gomel, never mind level!

Whew, delighted to get to ht at 0-0. Hard to think of any positives from that 1st half, except somehow didn't concede.

super_furry

Spearing and Downing aren't good enough at this level. It's pretty damning.

Shankly Gates

I sped home from work for this!?

We have a decent team out too. Hard to pinpoint exactly what the problem is. Everyone seems poor.

If its not his hair its his shin guards and socks. Spends way too much time preening himself on the pitch that fella, probably has a stylist in the dressing room.

You just have

Pretty sure that was the worst 45 minutes I've ever seen from a Liverpool team. One thing that has carried on from pre season is the horrifically slow tempo we are building up at. So little constructive movement and not the slightest hint of urgency.

Carra our best player by a mile (he made one good tackle).

joe123

Why isnt pacheco in the squad?

Im at work so Im missing this. Depressing reading on here but Rodgers needs time.

El Inho

WOW @ the trailer for being liverpool

ThunbergsAreGo

We were better in pre season

awful stuff

Gerrard and Johnson in particular

opr

Twice Enrique got himself into good crossing positions in a good bit of room and tired these mad hacks type shots across the box instead of just crossing it. I would have thought he was on his wrong foot if I didn't know better. I shouldn't really be picking on him as he has been one of our better players in whats been an awful half of football from us. We should be a couple behind.

Was pleased to see Sterling move across to the left hand side towards the very end of the half. I know he's on his favoured foot when played on the right for crossing but in three years watching him play youth football I don't think he has played a single game other than on the left of a three. It just seems while introducing him into the first team the prudent thing would be to play him in the position he's obviously most comfortable with to start with.

Don't really know what people were expecting, Liverpool have been very poor so far but it is going to take a while for them to get used to playing a new system, the players who were at the euros probably only have a few training sessions under their belt with the new manager. Has been grim watching in the first half but people saying we deserve to be 3-0 down are taking the p*ss in my opinion. I'm not going to read into the EL qualifying performances too much, providing we get the results.

FernandoTorres

I just don't think we have the players to play Rogers "system" effectively which makes me wonder what the f**k we are doing in the transfer market and why the f**k our best ball playing centre half isn't even there.
