The fact that we persist in pairing Lucas and Gerard when it clearly hasn't worked in years is probably the most worrying thing.

Can and allen are injured, thats why, if both were fit lucas would be back in liverpool.

mosstin

Lallana on. Lucas hooked. Thank Christ.

I wish it was Gerrard coming off here.

OK Adam, now's the chance to make your first real impact.

machiavellianme

Brod making the change we all wanted

Harry Palmr

"A better opportunistic position" dear god, Nail Quinn really does challenge the language

Henderson and Gerrard are sufficient though. Lucas and Henderson would be fine too.

The 3 of them just ins't necessary to be honest.

Sakho seems to slip often

Why the **** would you basically tell Borini to get lost by persistently trying to sell him and then play him ahead of Lambert?

Lambert has shown far more at this level than Borini has. I would nearly go as far as saying that Lambert, in about 20mins on the pitch, has shown more than Borini has in the Liverpool shirt.

I would guess because we haven't had the ball in their half a lot. Borini buzzes around a lot, dropping wide and deep, and pulls defenders around after him which can create some space, something Lambert doesn't really offer.

Our midfield has been ****, absolutely shocking in this game - without that bit of space opening up up front we're simply going to have no luck.

This isn't just that "movement" thing (which I think is retarded that people use it as a stick), this is simply trying to avoid two guys playing in exactly the same space, which happens with Balo and Lambert, especially when our midfield has proven completely inept at supporting the hold up play.

Usain bolt makes good runs.

Borini just makes us sad.

FFS Borini, the square ball was the one every time there.

So selfish from Borini, hate that carry on.

Mantis Toboggan

Lovren is having a terrible game.

He's very linear. Not enough movement for my liking. If someone stands in his was hes ****ed.

Harry Palmr

Lallana really knits the play together

It's like years ago when we'd bring on El Zhar and immeidately look a better team - it wasn't cause El Zhar was a good player, he was simply a natural wide player, and even if noone passed him the ball the fact that he was waiting out wide by the touchline meant someone had to cover him, opening space in the centre for Gerrard and Torres.

ASOT

Balotellis hold up play is alot better than i taught it would be when we signed him.

Lallana doing well

TheMilkyPirate

Pool kits are usually nice I'll admit but this yellow strip is fucking horrendous

machiavellianme

Scummy elbow

citytillidie

Ref really is bad with some bad decisions

Reckless by Lovren, foul all day

machiavellianme

Wow mig actually caught one!

ASOT

Ming actually caught a cross waheyyyyyyyy

Better for Balotelli had Borini crossed it

It was a great chance for anyone other than borini.
For borini it was a terrible opportunity for a mazy run to nothing

mosstin

Lambert for Borini please.

citytillidie

Should be off there for that foot up

machiavellianme

Very high right leg

keeper should be off.

Ref has no balls

Harry Palmr

What the ****, obvious red and peno.

ASOT

100% should have been off, refs been terrible

Guy:Incognito

Theres nothing in that . He pulled his leg down as Borini gets there. Deflects from another poor decision to shoot from Borini though.

Agent Coulson

That's 3 West Ham players that could have gotten red cards.

Edit make that 4 players.

5starpool

Meh, not a booking for me although it was careless.

That_Guy

It's a miracle that Borini managed to recover from that injury there.

kingshankly

Liverpool have been very good since Lucas went of to be fair
