Chong · 28-02-2009 05:55PM

All over in both games,

Pool fans better leave as the flood gates will open now.

Any Liverpool fan that thinks like that after the last few weeks you lot have had in the league needs to take off the red tinted glasses. It was a poor move by Rafa and the club to sell him when they did.

Yeah, he will rest all the big boys now til that game.

Shocking today, good job arsenal are useless this year

Sizzler · 28-02-2009 05:56PM

Disgraceful performance today from Liverpool. Boro didnt have to do a whole lot in fairness to win that game.

The mind boggles how they won at the Bernabeu

Looked totally disinterested today.

Nah, 'pool fans know that El Zhar, Ngog and Babel are the future.

LMAO !

Good one brother.

Terrible performance, too many players just not producing. Sometimes that happens, a few too many times this season though. We're not going to win the league, but I never expected to. Still, given the start to the season it feels like a missed opportunity. Rafa takes responsibility alright but presumably he should get credit for the first half of the season (and Europe so far) as well as abuse for the rest?

Cause the crap is about to arrive in the thread, you know how it goes dude.

Right I am off before the meltdown begins.

"We still have [Ryan] Babel, [David] Ngog and Dirk Kuyt as well as Torres. It is a risk but the situation was not good and we needed to do something," said the Liverpool manager.

Bravo Rafa.

joe123 · 28-02-2009 06:00PM

Cant defend Rafa there. Anyways pointless sacking him now.

Anyone who says they wouldnt like Keane now is talking ****e.

Headshot · 28-02-2009 06:03PM

brilliant win for boro

now i think its time to sit back and take it all in

How many goals has Keane produced since his move back to Spurs :rolleyes:

bUILDERtHEbOB · 28-02-2009 06:07PM

I agree hat Keane was missed, I mean it's not like he spent most of his time missing the same sitters/chances we had today.

It was an absolutely shocking performance though, I just can't explain it, there was no spirit, no desire, nothing.

whatawaster · 28-02-2009 06:08PM

i would be lying if i said i wouldn't rather we had Keane. But i do believe the offer from Spurs was too good to turn down for a player who doesn't get into our best starting eleven or fit into our best formation

We were a disgrace today, lack of effort, passion.

That said though we really should have scored at least twice

How many games has Robbie actually played so far for Spurs?

28-02-2009 06:14PM

Jesus, its turning into a robbie keane debate. Hes gone ffs.

This thread has run its course

themont85 · 28-02-2009 06:15PM

Must say I'm delighted for Southgate, comes across as a nice bloke in interviews. Good to see Steve Gibson isn't so trigger happy with firing coaches. They're not out of the **** yet but that will give them confidence.

Helix · 28-02-2009 06:16PM

southgates a nice bloke, but hes a dreadful coach imo

Highsider · 28-02-2009 06:16PM

Fuming TBH. Players where an absolute disgrace today and let Rafa and the club down badly. Far to angry to give an overall worthwhile post. Disgraceful :mad:

ButcherOfNog · 28-02-2009 06:17PM

Team looked tired today, Alonso in particular was terrible in the 2nd half.

El Zhar I thought did well enough, had two good chances and probably should have scored one of them, wasbetter than 12M Babel, what the hell happened to Babel? He was awful and has been awful most of the season.

Gerrard seemed to be playing within himself. Still made a couple of chances for others.

Carragher offers nothing going forward at right back, why not try Skrtel out there?

Kuyt missed a sitter.

Overall, worst performance of the season.

Headshot · 28-02-2009 06:19PM

what was rafa thinking putting Skrtel as RB

I taught Downing had a very good game,looked very dangerous and put in some very sweet crosses

deserved MOTM

Juan Pablo · 28-02-2009 06:21PM

No huge surprise here, Boro always seem to beat one of the "Big 4" up at the Riverside, thought it would be the case here today. Pool should be thankful Arsenal can't buy a win at the moment, makes the prospect of finishing 5th less likely.

Villain · 28-02-2009 06:21PM

Leaving Benayoun on the bench today was a very odd decision, I said about 2 weeks he was really looking on form and he done well at Madrid and then gets left on the bench??

Rafa will win you the CL but he will never win the PL title imo
