googled eyes · 13-09-2014 6:17pm

Moreno should have been more greedy there

Vicxas · 13-09-2014 6:17pm

Jesus, that was a quick first half....

monkey9 · 13-09-2014 6:18pm

Markovich is a little too 'Bolo Zenden' for my liking.

doc_17 · 13-09-2014 6:18pm

You'd have to look very hard to find a worse half of football!

Soups123 · 13-09-2014 6:18pm

Countinho very rarely gets his game on very over rated

Villa playing a pressing game Sterling could be priceless off the bench when they tire which they will

Sooner or Later · 13-09-2014 6:19pm

45 very disappointing minutes

No shape, no energy

rob316 · 13-09-2014 6:19pm

Dire. Markovic and coutinho have been really poor.
1 striker just does not work get lambert or borini on for markovic and sterling on for coutinho.

delw · 13-09-2014 6:19pm

International hangover from Liverpool ( thats one excuse)

Patser · 13-09-2014 6:19pm

Villa have only conceded once this season, and that was an unlucky deflection.

But living on luck and desperation at times in this game. That deflection almost dropped in and how with all that time the Pool player had there at the end he let Baker back to do his trademarked despairing full stretch block...

NukaCola · 13-09-2014 6:20pm

That was some ****e football........BR needs to sort out whatever system LFC are supposed to be playing, at the moment its just not working....complete mess.

Will I Amnt · 13-09-2014 6:20pm

Bit of a letdown after the games earlier, dour as f*ck. Liverpool look completely out of sorts without the attacking outlets of Sterling and Sturridge, Markovich has offered nothing again.
Sterling on Hutton is screaming out, should have made that change already.

Adamcp898 · 13-09-2014 6:20pm

I think the big question from that half is why is Brendan Rodgers wearing a sock as a tie?

Knex* · 13-09-2014 6:20pm

Alright... Borini or Lambert on after Sterling?

Utopia Parkway · 13-09-2014 6:21pm

Actually think Balotelli has played fairly well. Held the ball up well. Just not getting enough bodies around him in support. A constant problem we have in a 433.

Harry Palmr · 13-09-2014 6:21pm

I'm not a great fan of "over-officiating" but had the PL an assistant at either end Senderos would be gone.

Ugh that was a probable tap in for Markovic there.

Villa defenders getting blocks in has saved them 2 goals.

Defenders will do that alright.

Bounty Hunter · 13-09-2014 6:21pm

Sterling will come on and as soon as he does I wouldn't be surprised if villa get fresh legs on in the form of Sanchez to mark him.

Finical · 13-09-2014 6:22pm

Villa always do one on us at Anfield. Leading and deservedly.

Fescue · 13-09-2014 6:23pm

A lot of new faces in this Liverpool team. 6 in total and it shows. But I see enough to suggest Liverpool will score.

Patser · 13-09-2014 6:23pm

Sterling to come on, and then Grealish in battle of the 'next big thing' under 20s footballer...

Was going to stir things up and say under 20s English player

I saw two worse halves at the Etihad two weeks ago!

Fowler87 · 13-09-2014 6:26pm

Too many cooks best way to describe that half. Too many players dropping off not enough running into space. Easy for the Villa midfield trio. Hell of alot more urgency needed. Full backs need to push on more too.

doc_17 · 13-09-2014 6:29pm

Once again Sakho shows how useless he is. The way he dealt with that long ball that lead to the corner was absolutely awful stuff.

Fescue · 13-09-2014 6:29pm

I think you have to give Villa credit. They are doing what Chelsea done to us last season. Closing off all angles for a pass and not leaving any space.

Allowing a team playing like that a goal is always going to make things difficult.

Skrtel comes straight back in for Sakho. Not good enough at this level.

Really dont agree, hes not offering enough movement in the middle and when hes gets the ball his passes and lay offs are poor. Having said that the formation isnt working..sterling and lambert on asap

Harry Palmr · 13-09-2014 6:30pm

While this is being described as a 4-2-3-1 (by myself included) its really 4-2-4 and that's never worked for Rodgers.

No changes at half time.

5starpool · 13-09-2014 6:32pm

No changes so far. We need more urgency and penetration, and there have been no signs we will get that with the current system and personnel.

mada999 · 13-09-2014 6:32pm

not quick enough with the ball, its seems like every ball has to go through the Gerrard filter.... our two centre backs have developed the weak Agger disease.... need to start stretching villa

Harry Palmr · 13-09-2014 6:36pm

Coutinho couldn't buy a pass of any worth today.

playing well within himself, poor.

Utopia Parkway · 13-09-2014 6:36pm

The type of game where Phillippe Senderos might end up being man of the match.

martyos121 · 13-09-2014 6:37pm

I really miss Glen Johnson. At least if we had him and didn't win the game, we'd have someone to blame.

Vicxas · 13-09-2014 6:38pm

Only person making an penetrating passes is Sakho....

googled eyes · 13-09-2014 6:39pm

Looking better

PhiloCypher · 13-09-2014 6:39pm

Coutinho and Markovic off for Lambert and Sterling hopefully.

Surely this.

I am pie · 13-09-2014 6:42pm

coutinho, off, please....

razorblunt · 13-09-2014 6:43pm

The flashing warrior signs are incredibly annoying.

I am pie · 13-09-2014 6:44pm

yes...him, on the pitch, sharpish.

rob316 · 13-09-2014 6:44pm

Here comes raheem.

CSF · 13-09-2014 6:45pm

Markovic has been pretty bad. Possibly the worst player on the pitch but there is alot of competition among the Liverpool side.

Think Coutinho has been worse to be honest. At least Markovic was involved. Countinho has just been anonymous.

martyos121 · 13-09-2014 6:46pm

Lallana off?! This is some kind of sick joke, Markovic was rubbish!

rob316 · 13-09-2014 6:47pm

Lallana? One of our better players today.

Harry Palmr · 13-09-2014 6:47pm

Lallana 23m off, Sterling 500k on.

monkey9 · 13-09-2014 6:47pm

I thought Lallana was one of our better players today.

kingshankly · 13-09-2014 6:47pm

Coutinho is horrific offers nothing

I am pie · 13-09-2014 6:48pm

coutinho far worse than markowicz. at least he is trying a few things, coutinho has been cowardly.

martyos121 · 13-09-2014 6:48pm

Alan Hutton is the most disgusting footballer since Roy Keane.

Kerrigooney · 13-09-2014 6:48pm

Strange change.
