    And that ... should've been a penalty for a shoulder to the back of Benayoun.

    Andy Reid's distribution is excellent.

    The Dossena looks woeful.

    That's what's great about Andy Reid. He doesn't move much - he just stands in the middle of the park knocking great passes about. Which is exactly what Sunderland needed when they bought him. Everyone else was running around like headless chickens.

    I think Dossena has been better in this game than the last. He seems like he's adjusting.

    Corner delivery is terrible, as usual.

    Phew, hard work. Liverpool are clearly not up to speed in body or mind.

    Kuyt & Benayoun offer nothing on the wings in a 4-4-2. You have to wonder why Pennant isnt playing. Id take him over Kuyt on the right wing in a 4-4-2 for sure.

    Well can anyone tell me where Keane is meant to be in relation to Torres? They could be on different planets atm. 4-4-2 sucks.

    El Zhar might have to come on and do a job in that wide right position.

    Seems to me like a clash in systems.
    Torres got used to play in a 4-2-3-1 with Gerrard behind him. Keane does not play like Gerrard. They haven't adjusted yet.

    Feel sorry for Keane, the midfield is not performing and he's getting no service.

    Once again, Gerrard is anonymous in the the centre of midfield.

    Woohoo. Maybe Rafa won't settle for a 0-0 after all. But I think it was more to do with SideFoot Charlie being injured than anything positive from Rafa.

    If Sunderland had anything resembling a striker this match would be over.

    Then again if Liverpool had anything resembling a midfield it could be a decent game.

    Gerrard and Benitez are clearly just too stupid to figure out why Ronaldo doesnt take corners for the mankies.

    For those others that also can't figure it out, its because he's one of their most dangerous players in and around the box.

    Ngog on and Kuyt off, put Yossi on the right and Ngog wide-ish left (he has a nice left shot)

    Yip.
    Like we play a "striker" at right winger because he's a better defender than any of our right wingers.

    Anyone got Rafa's mobile number? I wanna ring and ask for the last hour and a half of my life back.

    Thank Christ the rumours of us going for Yuseless Benayoun didn't materialise.

    Torres should have scored. Did Keane get in the way or what?

    Getting better, Gordon looking nervous.
