Fair played to City. Playing Liverpool at their own game and doing it better.

They are. We have been retaining possession quite well..

The problem is that Gerard and Torres aren't doing scratch all..

who's the full bak that riera is up against he's the only pool player looking like creating something

Tusky · 05-10-2008 03:51PM

City playing very well. Liverpool not playing too badly, but their final ball has been poor. Riera is playing fantastic though. Kuyt has been very poor, as has Torres. Arbeloa has made a few bad mistakes also..and Gerrard has been anonymous.

Rafa has to change to something like this about 10 minutes into the second half.

Torres---Keane
Riera

Babel

Masch--Gerrard

1+

Alonso in particular has been liverpools best player along with Riera, everyone else seem anonymous.

slingerz · 05-10-2008 03:51PM

keane for Kuyt?

Zabaleta. And he's playing quality now

mike65 · 05-10-2008 03:51PM

Well, what to do? Kuyt could have scored two. Keane will have to come on if only to give the City defence more to do and someone, like Gerrard sacrificed.

yup

but it'll be 55 mins to late

Ardent · 05-10-2008 03:53PM

Kuyt and Aurelio most at fault for the score-line.

Why oh why do we persist with Dirk Kuyt?? The guy unbalances the team and kills our attacks so much it's not funny. And my grandmother would be more of a goal-threat in the league than he is.

As for Aurelio - Why pay 7 million for Dossena and never play him? Madness.

And why is Robbie Keane dropped for this game?

Benitez hasn't a clue in the league.

Watch football much?

slingerz · 05-10-2008 03:54PM

Alonso is one of Liverpools good players today he cant be taken off. As I've said all year Gerrard should be wide right and it shouldnt matter whether or not he wants to play there or not. Keane needs to be up around Torres to occupy a centre half anyway.

Babel is another option from the bench. I'd much prefer Agger to be picking up Robinho than Skrtel too to be honest

jesus_thats_gre · 05-10-2008 03:55PM

Stick Gerard out on the right and put Keane beside or in hole hole behind Torres..

Wouldn't object to seeing Babel on for Kuyt either.

We don't need a grafter now. We need that extra bit of quality.

Haha, some good reactionary stuff there.

Dossena has not looked as good as Aurelio, a 7m price hardly brings with it a 'must start' tag for any team in the top 4! It is a pittance to pay for a player.

Keane is dropped to make way for Mascherano. It is an away game against a top quality side, and Masch is needed for games like this.

Villain · 05-10-2008 03:57PM

I really don't get Rafa dropping Keane, if ever you want to play a striker its after he has got his first goal. I truely believe Rafa is holding the Liverpool team back from really going for a title challenge, best Champions league manager around but never going to win the title

Xavi6 · 05-10-2008 03:58PM

I really hope we don't get tired and keep up this intensity......

Well he did say at his press conference the other day , "I have no intention of attempting to win the league. It is a shoddy trophy, I rate it lower than the Carling Cup! We will go out in every game with the intention of drawing 0-0. I believe that 38 points will be sufficient this season".

dropping keane just after he scored his first goal is a bit silly though. He needed the opportunity to build on that. Kuyt is a worker in fairness and does pop up in big games but he really creates nothing and slows the play down

I defo reckon that ye will get tired as ye are playing at an insanely high pace. Whether we will be too wrecked to take advantage though is another thing.
