Wisdom looks out of his depth, but unlike most of the team he has age as an excuse. Dreadful first half display.
I know we can play JOhnson LB and Wisdom at RB, but still think we have to have some balance there. If Enrique can't stay fit and Robbo isn't ready, we should look at that ( summer).
Thought Kagawa did well there to be fair. You just know had Young or Nani been pushed in the area by Wisdom they'd have taken a tumble and the pressure would be on the ref to send him off. Good on Kagawa trying to score rather than win the penalty, tho' Reina may not agree...
What a poor first half. Lucky to only be 1-0 down and we need a major turnaround if we want anything from the game. At least we have attacking options on the bench for once...
Well we've made it to Half Time at only 1-0 which is a result considering how bad we've been. Its only 1 goal. If we can make some changes and Rodgers does his job, we can still get something out of this.
What a team of ****ing wet drips. No leaders and no ****ing backbones. They're all scared ****ing stiff. So many flappers
Was a totally wrong set up from minute 1. Lucky if we go in at only 1 down, could and probably should be 4 down here. Can we go on and nick it after all the missed chances. As much as Allen and Downing have been awful Suarez has been ****e too. Not good enough Liverpool but at least we're still in with a chance. We absolutely cannot concede a second too early in the second half though. If we can at least keep it at 1-0 they will get more nervous later on. Have to give credit to Wellbeck though lads he's been a constant menace dropping off the shoulder of the two centre halfs.
We r lucky its 1-0 an Pepe seems to be ok, at 1-0 the game isnt over, surely we cant be as bad 2nd half,the subs are that obvious the manager wont make them. Bin 4141 also,we are **** every time we play it, 4231 or 433 It has to be Hendo n Sturridge for Allen n Downing, early, preferably at HT
I said before the game Frank that Wisdom would need help dealing with Evra down that side (and that Fergie would specificallky target him) and Downing's strolling around like it's a ****ing charity match. Well we'll need some more charity second half if we're to get anything from this.
Where do I start with that? Man Utd were superb, gave us no space whatsoever and their passing was crisp. Us? Woeful. Allen had a shocker, when his passing goes astray he brings absolutely nothing to the team, get Henderson on and make Utd work harder. Sterling and Downing were both ineffective, you could argue they got no support (which is true) but with the little space they did got they did nothing with the ball. I'd be very surprised to see no changes at half times, we didn't turn up that half.
This sums it up perfectly!.....and it's the same every time we play a top team....utter ****e, can't see Suarez hanging around for long at this rate
Disagree on Suarez. He's been the only bright spot. Any attack we've had is thanks to him. It's not his fault that Gerrard squandered a great chance. It's not his fault he'll never get the ball from Downing, or that Allen will never run up to support him.
One goal, considering how we've played isn't a disaster. We need to come out and fkn control the middle instead of giving the ball away and defending the wings. Our inability to retain the ball is the root cause of ALL of our woes obviously. Allen has bottled it, nerve has gone Suarez is getting the ball with too much to do Gerrard has marmalade feet. So many fking errors and the inept display by agger at defending against striker in the box.
While I agree that it was good that he didn't try to fall over, he barged in like a maniac. Neither of them got the ball, but that's because Kagawa runs into Reina with legs flailing. A yellow might be harsh but it could be argued that it's reckless. Still, neither of us are unhappy with nothing being called.
It won't happen but Sturridge middle & Suarez against Evra on the right, Suarez always chases when he loses the ball & has the taking of Evra.
I'd be mad if i see Allen come in at 2nd half, he's been abysmal. Why the fOck did even start, so much for being the lover boy of BR. Henderson and Sturridge needs to come in at 2nd half, no point giving them 10 minutes to have an impact. BR gave Allen 45 minutes and didn't prove ****,almost cost us another goal. He's been overawed by the situation, i'd be fOkin mad if see him go past the past 50th minute
