Liverpool actually look fairly decent today .

They could really have done with a goal or two in the first half to be honest, it could go sour in the second half and in fairness they've done well so far.

From the few games I've seen this season, Liverpool have played well, but they've just been unable to convert it to goals.

Couldn't be more wrong, they've played badly and barely had any chances full stop in most games

70.7% possession. When did we turn into Barca?

Not sure what games you've been watching. Aside from today, and arguably Thursday against Napoli, we've been woeful.

Looking at the PSV game...i predict Liverpool 8-0. Lucas hattrick. And Reina to score a penalty at the end.

When you signed Lucas

You're right Sky Sports, we do want to know about the use of elastic bands during the warm up.

Mark1989 · 24 Oct 2010 at 15:50

Well good half by us for a change should be atleast 2-0 but Robinson is saving blackburns ass at the moment. I hope we start off the second half same way.

All the players have played better than they have in last few weeks (Hell we couldnt of got any worse)

Crikey, this really is a must win game, this early on in the season.

Nah I don't think so. They're gonna be a lot of these 'must win!' games before Christmas and none of them will be (Well unless you're doing a Liverpool

). If anything the psychological impact of City winning will be greater than the points. We've stopped Chelsea once, if we can beat you and move back into second I think we'll be taken a little more seriously.

Alpherah · 24 Oct 2010 at 15:51

74.7% Possession according to "EA"'s stat service.

62% according to the BBC.

I'm not watching the game, but there's absolutely no point having all this possession and numerous chances unless we convert them.

Pretty much every commentary line seems to have "should score or how did that not go in?" next to it.

Greenlizard0 · 24 Oct 2010 at 15:51

By and large over time money does talk.

It's more the fans we don't take seriously.

No he hasn't. He was one of our best players last season :confused:

Higher defensive line, better movement and quicker passing. This is exactly what Liverpool fans have been asking for since Roy took over and we look a far better team for it. Just hope we win and Roy doesn't revert back to type for the next game, if he's still here that is.

I watched the Aresenal match, this one, and most of the Europa league matches.

Alpherah · 24 Oct 2010 at 15:55

And Roy's having faith in the midfield two, letting Stevie actually go and play higher up for a change.

Greenlizard0 · 24 Oct 2010 at 15:55

Oh **** Denilson starts, no Rosicky. :mad:

Ah, fair enough - Arsenal were poor against us, we've been OK in the Europa, and we're playing well this match. Everything else has been utterly diabolical.

I love Ruud Gullit.

Nasri, Chamakh and Arshavin up front, City's defence will have some problems, especially with the recent ball retention of Denilson and the creativity of Cesc.

BaZ87 · 24 Oct 2010 at 15:58

Not a bad first half but still lacking any real tempo and still not pressing high up the pitch.

Hopefully we can push on a bit in the 2nd half because Blackburn are shocking.

Thought it was generally acknowledged to be Gerrard's decision? Everyone and his dog knows his best position is behind Torres except the media, who despite calling for him to be played behind Rooney for England, claim he's wasted there and should be played in the middle
