Liverpool Thread - Premier League Champions* 2019/20 (Part 1)

Welcome to the world of an Arsenal supporter. Playing teams with 11 men in the box, aint always fun to watch, but it works often enough for the lesser teams, that they are not going to change this tactic anytime soon. UberGunner2007-09-25 11:28:17

great performance this morning

rafa said: The understanding between him(torres)  and Crouch was very good"

hopefuly they can keep the partnership going

Agreed, but Rafa also wouldn't comment on whether he was going to start Torres against Wigan. Obviously part of that is not wanting to give 'em a heads on our gameplan, but I've got to say I'm not a fan of Rafa's rotation policy.

3 points today all I wanted. Kirkland looked to make a few saves but still not the best performance especially being pressed so hard at the end.

Good to see Yossi get another goal and now maybe a start?

You can't help feeling that we should be winning these games more comfortably.  The 3 points are very welcome but we aren't setting the league alight.  I want to see solid stylish performances.

liverpool always save that football for europe

hey,  can someone give me an update of what happened in the Wigan game? Heard it was 1-0 thought we would have done better.

Check it out for yourself here:

Calling all Liverpool fans to get down to the Fever Lounge around the Labour weekend for the Liverpool - Everton game, lets show those toffees who's boss

1  nil 

LP played crap,  maybe shood have snuck the equaliser in dying stages.  Well done Celtic,  hope Sky replay's both games tonight.

Liverpool play Besiktas in Istanbul next. A pitiful performance this morning, didn't deserve anything from the game. Should teach them a lesson that you don't always get away with results after playing well for only 5 minutes (in the injury time this time).

And Anfield was very silent in the second half - it felt as if the game was at Velodrome in Marseille...

I dont like seeing them playing so conservative for most of the game (or maybe they're just out of form).  I think Gerrard needs a good rest for a couple of weeks.  I know its a big risk but I think he will come back refreshed and a stronger player.

The last 5 minutes we could've stole the game but horrible performance, which they couldn't string together 2 passes. Lucky Reina was playing well or it would have been worse. The midfield was rubbish today Sissoko has shown none of the form from the previous seasons and Gerrard again sub standard, Leto shouldn't have played...another poor performance

Once again the Kop are out sung by the opposition.

We'll see whos singing last at the mersyside derby, i don't thinl it'll be you guys

There's more atmosphere in space than there was being generated by the gobsh*tes at A*field this morning!

Good luck tonight in the uefa cup against Metalist, ya gonna need it.

You've got far too many Plastic Scousers supporting the club,that's the problem,too many glory hunters.

No one commenting on Spurs game?

Rafa was going on about defensive lapses that led to the goals but I'm not too sure what he is talking about one of the goals, Berbatov just got above Hyypia for the flick on, because he was in front and then Carragher was just beaten to the ball by Keane to the toe poke, I don't think there was a lapse for that just beaten by more athletic players.

The other was very similar but that one the marking was poorer.

We were lucky to get a point by all accounts. I'm a bit worried by the performance against these teams that are struggling. A couple of dissapointing homes performances (team and crowd) in the last month.

as long as it's after the derby mate

2-1 to the mighty reds, job done wasnt pretty or easy, but  points taken at goodison is great and now we're back on track premiership is alive and kicking again. Now just want villa to whip UTD's butt

START TORRES!!

Decent play today, but it was against mostly 10 men, still playing better than the previous gamers, 3 points and most importantly derby win. Lucky with the ref today, Everton should have had a penalty at the final whistle.

Defended corners and freekicks well. But we lost and were put in bad situations by not dealing with players backing in to goal (Anichebe mostly). Gerrard getting back on track too. Hopefully this will give them momentum for upcoming games.

Rafa's "playing with too much passion" decision to take off Gerrard was odd and everyone was shocked, but it didn't cost him and Lucas look good

Let me see if i got this correct! I watched the game by the way. Liverpool stole the points from Everton? well it just proves the rumours about Merseyside. When even football teams are thieves.

Thieves, but WELL ARD!! and don't forget it!!

Are Liverpool going to make it out of the group stages?

I caught the first half. You looked pretty bad. But admittedly the opposition defended well.

It's not going to be easy winning in Marseilles.

And you've got the mighty Arsenal making a visit this weekend. 

Torres wasn't match fit, was ruled out of the match a day earlier https://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11669_2819449,00.html

Another sub standard performance, missed Hyypia OG watching UEFA match cast, they pinned the goal on 3 different players before changing it to a Hyypia OG. Switched over to watch the game later in the second half. Hyypia and Carragher aren't defending well and both have been struggling this season.

Before the season started I thought we needed to sign defensive cover for our centerbacks and I think recent performances have shown this.

Today Hyypia scored an OG, can't be blamed, but against Everton it was his fault (although a miss hit), but he was beaten all too easily on the ground multiple times today and If a player gets on the outside of Carragher there's none of his usual telescopic slide tackle trick, they just breeze past or he fouls.

We need to be better against Arsenal, with the form they are showing, although Adebayor seems to keep missing chances yet they score so many from the midfield players.

What can i say - Be afraid... Very Afraid.

   -  UberGunner bet me to it

Hahaha, Liverpools defence play just like the Nix in this latest game. It looked oh so familiar. Does this mean the Nix are up there after all??

I think if we man mark Fabregas with Mascherano (or Sissoko) and get him nipping at his heals we can unsettle Arsenal, If you saw the Bolton game Diouf got into Fabregas' head and he can get sloppy, both those players were on the verge of a red card, and more importantly Arsenal didn't score for that half or threaten as much.

If we stop Fabregas we can stop the majority of the attacks since everything seems to go through him (he makes like 50 passes a game).

Doesn't help me typing this though, Rafa will has his plan, and under him we've had mixed results. Best one being the game we won 2-1. Alonso scoring from a great passing move, Vieira scoring from Arsenal's only shot (Oh no Henry had a halfway lash), then Mellor unleashing over the top of a diving Harry Kewell in the last minute!!

If both Sissoko and Mascherano man-marked Fabregas at the same time they still wouldn't have a chance, they are both sh*te.
