Didi Hamann on Reina: "he dropped a clanger". :pac:

Didi Hamman could call me any name under the sun and I would never fail to be highly amused by his German-Scouse hybrid accent :pac:

Gerrard played well, he's started the season impressively.

Good Jesus that was dire until the last 10 minutes.
Suarez with an absolute shocker of a game but scores a vital goal,much like the last game.
Bit controversial there at the end with the added time.
Is that the anti-Fergie time tactic Rodgers is using??

Tonight has been good from gerrard but other than he's been average to poor. Signs of things to come though provided he stays fit

Oh yea and Reina strikes again

every Goalie makes howlers, but for supposed World Class Goalie he makes way more then he should.

I can imagine the stuff if certain other Goalkeepers made those Reina mistakes.

Gerrard and Allen were very good as others mentioned, Downing deserves credit too, thought he did very well.

He needs to cop on but think of a certain utd keeper that people were writing off after a few howlers. Now he looks decent.

Reina needs decent competition imo.

If cech had done it, he would be past it. If Hart had done it, overhyped english lemon. De Gea, expensive waste never be world class etc. etc.

Bottom line, all keepers make mistakes. It just so happens that Reina has made alot over the last two seasons.

It's not really comparable.De Gea was arriving into a new country,new league,different style of play and all at 20 years old.
Reina has been poor a long time now and these howlers are all too regular.

Suarez' goal was another example of poor keeping as the keeper got his angles all wrong and should have easily stopped that shot.

Goalkeeper is a hard position. You have no margin for error. Think of all the times each outfield players makes a mistake. Atleast twice per player, per match.

Keepers are expected to go a dozen games without an error. It's difficult.

Your right and the best 2 I have ever seen Schmeichel and Buffon made some right funny howlers, but for me personally I have and said it here that I never really got the Reina love that lot people seem to have had for him in the past.

just my 2c.

In a 90 minute football match, keepers have significantly less capacity for error than an outfield player.

All about concentration.

It's becoming a little too common, for want of a better word, for Pepe Reina. I think people are right in saying he needs competition because he seems too comfortable.

Nevertheless these type of matches are for winning, not performances.

Downing did well, but it's important not to get too carried away about his new position. The likes of Hearts were always going to struggle to expose one of our full-backs, so the real test will come when he faces semi-decent Premier League opposition. Nevertheless, I hope it works out.

Think people are also being too harsh on Suarez. While he has missed a lot of chances, people seem to ignore his incredible work rate and his ability to often carve chances out of nothing. His stats this season show out of the 4 games he has played, he has scored 2 goals and assisted for 2. If that his supposed to be him playing poorly, I can't wait to see what he does when he hits form.

you need to be a decent keeper to win the golden gloves 3 years in a row, reina was a fantastic keeper between 2005 and 2009, anybody arguing that should watch his display against liege in 2008, single handed made sure liverpool qualified for champions league that year

Correct. Problem is his entire body of work is less than premiership average since then. He hasn't been one of the 10 best goalkeepers in the league for a while now, yet you have Liverpool fans describing him as World Class.
