This is dire. Not a single player performing. Balotelli up on his own with no support.

Commentators laying into Ashley cos they didn't get free food.

This must be awful for a neutral to watch.

super_furry

This is an awful game.

Agent Coulson

Henderson looks like he has been told to stay out on the left wing instead of playing down the midde FFS.

Harry Palmr

I can only prey the idea is to unleash Borini against a tiring defence.

Sugarlumps

Those type of free kicks, rarely if ever pay off.

Sterling needs to piss of for a month and come back fresh
Liverpool have gone from being the best team to watch to the worst

DaveSuarez

Ridiculous team selection and tactics from Rodgers again today.

Sterling needs using correctly, shoved out on the wing with Johnson behind him is wasteful. I'd sooner he was on the left working with Moreno I think they might yield more.

Johnson did well there.

Fowler87

Wheres the mute Robbie Savage button?

whatawaster

Mignolet **** off

Sugarlumps

Keeper flapping about.

PhiloCypher

Gotta say I'm getting pretty tired of Rodgers making the likes of Allardyce and Pardew look like tactical geniuses because he refuses to set his team up right .

kevohmsford

Just watching the game a few minutes. Borini and Lallana on the bench. Rodgers needs to cop on.

daRobot

Mignolet is a liability. This is desperate.

Mig, you are so poor

Kylo Ren

Mignolet, what are you at?

mikehunts

Mingeulay was all over the gaff there

Stargate

Such a negative display so far from Liverpool, It's up to the manager up his game and motivate the team . Dire to watch in fairness.

Agent Coulson

Balotelli wins the ball halfway into his own half turns and has no one to pass it forward too. FFS.

Then he gets slaughtered for not scoring.

Turtyturd

Always said Johnson was brilliant.

super_furry

Absolute piss. Madrid are going to score a hatful on Tuesday.

Stargate

I hear Real are getting their B team ready for Tues game .

Augmerson

What's the story with Mig's distribution?

Utopia Parkway

Savage talks some amount of scutter.

Osmosis Jones

17 passes around the back then a hoof to no one. Every time.

All down to Johnson that.

mikehunts

ffs skertel

Lojak

Get Johnson out of the club quick!!!!I cant watch him any longer.

Skrtel, such a limited defender

kevohmsford

Skrtel getting a yellow. This is a joke. Liverpool offering nothing going forward.

Harry Palmr

Early KOs are poison aren't they? As for Real Madrid they'll canter to victory dunno why anyone would doubt that.

mikehunts

Good reffing taylor acting the bollix

Vicxas

So I'm taking by the comments here and coverage on BBC that we're playing piss poor again.

Why there isn't 2 up front is beyond me

duffman13

This is woeful. Might switch to Wolves - Birmingham. Savage is also ruining this game!!!

Francie Barrett

It's all Balo's fault though.

Harry Palmr

Whats up with that bunch five bellies?

Lol at Taylor

kevohmsford

FFS Mignolet is beyond ropey.

livinginkorea

Jesus the passing is woeful at times

super_furry

Rodgers would want to take a long hard look at himself after that.

Turtyturd

Dire stuff.

Utopia Parkway

That was a pretty bad 45 minutes. Not helped by listening to Robbie Savage.

Sugarlumps

1st half was like watching two decrepit dykes scissoring.

Fowler87

Playing with too much fear Liverpool. No risks in the attacking play and too much safe football. Moreno has made some great runs down the left but too static and slow passing to pick him out. Borini might add some energy into the play. Take Allen off for Can too

Harry Palmr

NBC have Graeme Le Saux who is providing some decent comms. Just a suggestion rather than bleating about Robbie Savage.

Obviously that was utter bilge, Lallana and Borini will come on and change the game though. What's annoying is that if this is a "safety first" strategy its not well designed for that end.

mav79

Pathetic display!! FFS even Hodgson plays Sterling in the centre at times. He is getting nowhere stuck out wide.
