Really looked clueless there as cout approached their box

It's just fúcking boring at this stage. Not surprised. I'm not even that annoyed.

Honestly. Change it the fúck up, Brendan.

Fair enough, I'd have Sterling or Coutinho off first though.

Francie Barrett

Have to say, I think I might have been wrong. Thought Balotelli could do a job for us, but he's just far too static to fit into our team. Hope he can prove me wrong, but right now I have no confidence he can change the game for us.

Anyone watching on rte ? Does george hamilton have a beef with liverpool ?

If he does, it'd be the least of my worries watching this trash....

Balotelli has barely moved in 15 mins

Sterling must be on the take it's impossible to unintentionally play this bad

NukaCola

Need a change up top. Toothless, no energy or pressing...

Bring on Lallana and Borini...we need some energy up front. Ballo needs help.

Balotelli gonna shoot from here?

I've felt more comfortable in them awkward moments when your watching a film with your family and on comes the sex scene. This is truly painful to watch.

Meh, Rodgers had ye defending fairly ****e last year too, just got bailed out by super attacking, that cant last forever and scapegoat any of the defenders ye want but the buck for it stops with him. Whether it is because he bought them or how he coaches them, ultimately its his responsibility at this point.

United fans pouring in.

Balo is making very clever runs when we are in possession in front of the back but we are not passing to him for whatever reason. We opt to go wide or back all the time.

There's Ballotelli lads.

A "no risk" buy

Wow, what a shocking effort by Balotelli!

Couldnt be a worse fit when looking at the way Liverpool attacked last season. Way too static and the buck stops with Rodgers on that. As it does with Lovren (poor so far this season), manquillo (ditto) and markovic (ditto). You add in the persistence in playing gerrard where he is and you have to say a major series of errors.

Which Balotelli are you watching, the one I'm watching is chasing down defenders and running around trying to win the ball.

Nothing new there, sure they're only waiting for the bingo to start, seeing as they have no mid weeks games this year to pass their time.

Harry Palmr

Utd know what its like to be beaten by Basel, so they have some insight into ignominious failure.

NukaCola

Sterling has been muck

He's trying hard and it's not working out for him, but for me he is still our most threatening player.

markowicz or jordan ibe? personally, ibe. maybe that 20m sorts out the midfield.

Are we gonna learn anything from this.

I was even here when Eastenders/Coronation St/whatever soap I am supposed to watch this year was on I didnt "just pour in"

He's basle's best player by a mile is a total disgrace out there

The odd time we'll get a good game from Mignolet.
The odd time we'll get a decent defensive performance.
But never fcuking both, ever.

NukaCola

Need a change now BR

Lord Trollington

How is sterling still on the pitch.

Ah Sterling.

Way off the boil tonight. Great run but poor execution

Sorry ,

DVDM93

What is Coutinho afraid of? He does know the opposition can tackle you doesn't he? Or does he assume it's all champagne football and that the ball should only be passed to him when he has yards of space? I swear it's tag soccer he thinks he's playing.

He offers more than what we are seeing right now...at least he has a bit of energy about him.

I'd take off Coutinho as well. Anonymous.

~Rebel~

Gotta ask...where is this "markowicz" thing coming from...is it an in joke I missed or something?

Have just seen it written a bunch of times today.

Feck off ref.

Gerrard anaemic.

Andersonisgod

The ease with which Basel are finding a way to get in at the Liverpool back four all game is incredible. Woefully inadequate pressing and a serious lack of legs in the midfield on Liverpool's part.

Defensive coach needed immediately. This is embarressing

kingshankly

How's that not a free

It's ability that is required.

Borini running around in spaces where the ball isn't is not going to change anything.

Players like Sterling and Coutinho can change games rapidly even if not playing as well. The ability is there.
