I would have liked to see Kuyt on the right from the start, and Ngog on instead of Babel from the start.

I liked Spearing, his distribution was pretty good. He can hold his head up after that game.

Reina, Agger and Johnson were the only players who put in a decent shift from the start today.
Voronin and Masch were good after coming on.

so that's 5 from the 14 today were anywhere close to what was needed.

Well done sunderland anyway, could of had 4.

Better team won. The tactics and formation didnt work...not even for a moment. How many chances did we have in the entire game ?

See - it really doesnt make sense to me. Playing without your two best attacking players is going to knock the team...so why completely change the system also ? Its just too many changes in a short amount of time.

I reckon Mascherano could have played today - he hasnt played that many minutes this season and seemed to be bursting with energy when he came on. He could have at least played the first 60 minutes. With that in mind, which of the following teams/formations would yea go for ?

Reina

Johnson----Carra---Agger----Aurelio

Lucas--Masch

--Kuyt

Benny

Riera

Babel/N'Gog

OR

Reina

Skrtel

Carra

Agger

Johnson---Spearing---Lucas----Aurelio

----Babel

Benny

Kuyt

It just doesnt make sense to me to completely change the system because 2 players are injured.

Liverpool have had a dreadful start to the season really. You have to think they need to beat Man Utd next week or it's business as usual with exception of lasts eason under Benitez with being out of contention in the league early in the season.

No disrespect meant to any Sunderland fans, but any team that harboured title hopes should not be beat by the Sunderlands of the league.

For most of that game two things were missing by Liverpool imho, cohesion and heart.

They deserved it.

And they deserve to be above us in the lague as they now are.

I predict a convincing Liverpool win.

I don't fancy reading this thread to be honest!

But just to say, how wrong was I?

Fair play to Sunderland, they were excellent. European spot contenders if they carry on playing like that.

rafa has got it right plenty of times; he got it wrong today.

the players didn't pull him out of this one. it's a joint effort, and the players, as much as the manager, should not abstained from blame.

well done sunderland though, it must be said.

We didnt HAVE the players to pull us out of this game. Not up front anyways.

Thinking about it todays team there are quite a few sunderland players who would of made the starting 11 in that liverpool side today. Thats scary.

We were fcuking brutal today. We didn't deserve anything.
We need to seriously cop on, or we mightn't finish in the top 4 this year.
A win next Sunday is a must!

Lucky for him they don't play on Wednesday

Awful game, terrible performance and Sunderland were good money for their win, although they should have wrapped it up earlier. Beach Ball aside I don't think Liverpool would have won.

Great double save from Gordon near the end, especially the first one when Kuyt caught it really well through the defender's leg. Quality goalkeeping.

Well played Sunderland. Huge game next week but i can see us beating United with Torres and Gerrard back. Roll on next Sunday

They will hocky us if we play like that.

SlickRic

utter garbage on the whole.

i don't care whose fault it is; time to stop the blame game.

the team needs to pull together and start showing pride and quality, because that performance was on the whole unacceptable.

Load of ****. Squads too weak. Without Torres and Gerrard we dont look like scoring. Lucas and Spearing nowhere near good enough.

Babel looks like hel never improve. Voronin is Berbatov without the bit of quality.
Lets hope the saudi fella gets controll in time for january and we sign someone whos actually half decent.

Very very depressing. Whats it now? 7 points behind united?:cool:

redzerdrog

definately not going to blame a stupid beachball or any ****e like that we were awful plain and simple and deserved nothing should have been 3 or 4-nil to sunderland, horrible performance

brennaldo

so liverpool lost due to a balloon hahaha

ah i dont see liverpool doing it this season at all now

jebidiah

appalling...

there wil be all talk about the balloon, but we were all pver the place, bad tactics, changes made too late. usual stuff from rafa.

sunderland played well, deserved win

Thanks for the update, boss, very kind of you.

anyway team and manager should hang there heads in shame right now, gutless.

Holsten

Disgrace.

Even with that dodgy goal.

[Deleted User]

Terrible stuff from us.

Well deserved from Sunderland.

Anything less than a win against United and our title hopes are gone if they aren't already.

Mr.Nice Guy

Game over. Next week's game is now even more huge.
