jebidiah · 17-10-2009 03:25PM

sometimes i wonder about liverpools choice of kit... dont they have black shorts to go with that jersey?

Holsten · 17-10-2009 03:28PM

Yeah but Sunderland wear black shorts.

Jesus. Johnson should have stuck that away there. Great little ball inside by yossi.

17-10-2009 03:32PM

**** sake, come on.

mike65 · 17-10-2009 03:37PM

No shape, no conviction, blind back passes. FFS

Podge2k7 · 17-10-2009 03:37PM

This is depressing to watch.

17-10-2009 03:38PM

Halftime can't come quick enough.

Rafa ditch this 3 centre backs shíte ffs, we are all over the place.

rafa has got this very very wrong so far.

the players look like they have no idea what they should be doing.

mike65 · 17-10-2009 03:48PM

HT 1-0

Regarding the balloon/space-hopper, why do keepers not clear thier area of crap? You see streamers etc in the area at times and yet it gets left.

Rafa out, Bruce in (as long as he brings Bent, Cattamole, Reid)

was the baloon there for the first 5 minutes? or did it just come on before the goal?

Didn't another team ban balloons for a similar reason a couple of seasons ago? And I left the balloon on my bench in FF

SlickRic · 17-10-2009 03:55PM

there was a couple of times in that half where we had the ball on the halfway line, and we had 5 midfielders all in a line not making any sort of run at all.

it was a f***ing joke.

i'm really really annoyed by that half of football from a Liverpool point of view.

babel looks willing, and benny looks like he could do damage if we could manoevre the ball properly. spearing hasn't looked out of place either. they're the positives.

it is the tactics that seem to be screwing this up so far. sunderland haven't even played that well really.

From FIFA's Laws of the Game.

Referees duties:

"[He] stops, suspends, or abandons the game because of outside interference of any kind..."

Extra balls on the field of play:

"If an extra ball enters the field of play, the referee must stop the match, only if it interferes with play..."

whatawaster · 17-10-2009 03:58PM

First move has to be Spearing off, Mascherano on. I don't care how tired he is.

Poor team selection, now put it right

Xavi6 · 17-10-2009 03:58PM

Haven't seen any of the game but is this Balloon Gate MKII? If so then I sympatise.

Well summed up.

The lack of support for Kuyt is astonishing tbh.

He needs to change it at halftime but he won't until 60mins I'd imagine.

That first half reminds me of the Boro game last season.

Agreed. I don't give a sh ite if Spearing is Liverpool born and breed he ain't up to the standard required.

Replay?? :pac:

SlickRic · 17-10-2009 04:00PM

yeah, the balloon was damn irritating.

but, more importantly, our performance does not deserve anything. that needs to be put right before we can start moaning too much about luck.

A Dub in Glasgo · 17-10-2009 04:01PM

That balloon goal is funny

D'Agger · 17-10-2009 04:03PM

I don't see how Spearing is even getting a chance ahead of Pacheco who's far more dangerous!! I know he's light like but ffs we need somebody who'll get things going and gamble

kaimera · 17-10-2009 04:03PM

man that little pillock knocked it onto the pitch in the build up to the goal; it wasnt there long and to me it looked like Pepe was gonna get it but didnt get a chance.

Spearing is crap imo, but Pacheco is a forward, not a midfielder. It's not one or the other

Aquos76 · 17-10-2009 04:05PM

According to FIVE live it has now been confirmed as a red beachball with liverpool printed on it. Also the rules of the game state that the ref should have stopped play and ordered the removal of the balloon and the game restarted with a hop ball.
