Liverpool V Hull City Sat 25th Oct 3.00pm

8-10 · 25-10-2014 3:53pm

This is a shocking game. Not worrying them at all. Then again apart from Diame, Tigers aren't really looking like much going forward either, game is there for the taking.

Abel Hernandez is dangerous but Ben Arfa and Elmo aren't finding him well enough.

Overall this is absolute muck. Coutinho for Allen ASAP. Switch Sterling and Lallana because Sterling is getting no joy coming in from the right. Moreno and Sterling attacking down the left is where we'll get the goal.

Finical · 25-10-2014 3:54pm

Yeah Rodger's persists with Balotelli up front on his own again. It hasn't worked I dunno why he is sticking with it. Can, Allen and the deeper Gerrard contains no guile at all.

Coutinho on for Allen, Henderson for Can. Sterling and Balotelli up front.

Harry Palmr · 25-10-2014 3:54pm

Who;d have guessed one up front would suck?

super_furry · 25-10-2014 3:54pm

Wonder what Gerrard would have to do in order to start a game on the bench. Short of murder, I can't see it happening.

Not the manager anyway he has been doing it all season.

kevohmsford · 25-10-2014 3:58pm

Gerrard has offered little since he was moved into this defensive position.

There are alot of fellas id bench before gerrard in fairness

About 5% better than against QPR only cos QPR should have scored 2-3 before half time.
Game crying out for Coutinho ... simple as that. We struggle to get a few passes in between the mids and forwards. Can't see us creating a whole lot. Look stifled.

Team needs a serious kick in the hole - can point fingers at individuals Ballo/Lovren etc but collectively they all need to up the ante here about 50% more. Pressure and intensity. Has to be done as a team. We're making Alex Bruce look a decent defender out there.

Is it too much to ask that they go out 2nd half and just give 100% committment and see where it takes us.

LuckyLloyd · 25-10-2014 4:01pm

I'm not contemplating any dropped points here. We're going to come out and rip them apart second half. No excuses.

Gbear · 25-10-2014 4:02pm

Coutinho and Hendo needed asap.

Allen has been poor. Just not good enough on the ball. His worst performance in some time.

Manquillo has been poor as well.

Everyone else has been fairly decent.
Lallana, Balotelli, Sterling and Can should be perservered with.

joe123 · 25-10-2014 4:02pm

Can really needs to up his tempo. Takes too long to move the ball.

This.

Rayne Wooney · 25-10-2014 4:03pm

Balotelli has a goal every 140 minutes for AC and City in the league, almost 500 minutes in the league for Liverpool now without a goal

bur · 25-10-2014 4:04pm

Balotelli truly is a wasted shirt at the minute. He's never anywhere near the action areas and does not to help his team-mates in terms of tracking back and creating space with good forward movement.

Allen, Gerrard having very poor games, Can at least has a bit of forward thrust about him.

kevohmsford · 25-10-2014 4:05pm

Nice movement from Sterling.

JJJJNR · 25-10-2014 4:06pm

Is ballotelli being played out of position or something.

kevohmsford · 25-10-2014 4:07pm

Balotelli just needs someone to play up beside him.

Lord Trollington · 25-10-2014 4:07pm

Only positive. Robbie Brady doing well.

mada999 · 25-10-2014 4:08pm

sooooooooooooo slow passing the ball to each other... no first time passes at all... sickening...

kevohmsford · 25-10-2014 4:08pm

Yellow card for Ben Arfa.

Turtyturd · 25-10-2014 4:09pm

He's come from the retirement home known as Serie A, it'll probably be 18 months before he is back up to pace

It reminds me of United under Moyes to be honest.

And Suarez starts for Barca.

kevohmsford · 25-10-2014 4:11pm

It is not easy watching this. Rodgers has to change things.

Zak Flaps · 25-10-2014 4:11pm

Lots of calls for Coutinho to start the second half. He's been rubbish more often than not this season. Having said that, he may play one of his better games, so he can't do any worse than any number of them on the pitch. It's a huge ask to be as good as last season as Suarez is gone and Sturridge isn't playing. Both huge losses.

super_furry · 25-10-2014 4:12pm

Wonder if having someone like Remy up front would have made a difference this season.

Lord Trollington · 25-10-2014 4:14pm

I can't see how it would. We've been so poor at the back and the form of Gerrard and Sterling

mada999 · 25-10-2014 4:14pm

Joe Allen nearly loses the ball each time he gets it...

I think very much so.

kevohmsford · 25-10-2014 4:15pm

FFS Balotelli.

kevohmsford · 25-10-2014 4:17pm

Henderson and Lambert need to come on soon.

Harry Palmr · 25-10-2014 4:17pm

Ricky Lambert on for Balotelli presumably.

Lord Trollington · 25-10-2014 4:18pm

If we want to score. We have to go 2 up front. I'd hook Allen for Lambert

Agent Coulson · 25-10-2014 4:19pm

Rodgers needs to play Lambert and Balotelli together!!

kevohmsford · 25-10-2014 4:20pm

Coutinho and Lambert coming on for Allen and Lallana.

noodler · 25-10-2014 4:21pm

Is Mario being useless again?

Is he at least not causing us problems?

super_furry · 25-10-2014 4:22pm

Liverpool have been terrible from corners this season, it's almost always too short or straight at the goalkeeper.

kevohmsford · 25-10-2014 4:22pm

How did we not score there :mad:

Lord Trollington · 25-10-2014 4:23pm

This has 0-0 written all over it.

Rayne Wooney · 25-10-2014 4:23pm

Hull have been very poor this half, endless hoofs

Ted_YNWA · 25-10-2014 4:23pm

Balotelli trying not to score for us?

kevohmsford · 25-10-2014 4:24pm

Liverpool have stepped it up loads since the subs.

super_furry · 25-10-2014 4:25pm

Balotelli's on a yellow, he'd want to calm the head.

Lord Trollington · 25-10-2014 4:26pm

LFC getting some joy now with more options up front.

Agent Coulson · 25-10-2014 4:26pm

Look at that we are a different team with 2 up front.

djPSB · 25-10-2014 4:27pm

Gerrard running the show here.

GotTheTshirt · 25-10-2014 4:27pm

We look like a different team since the changes.

We look a million miles better with 2 up front and the Count.

kevohmsford · 25-10-2014 4:29pm

Just over 20 mins to go. Can we win it.

Turtyturd · 25-10-2014 4:29pm

We'll still start 1 up front for the next game.
