Weekend Football Thread. 7-9 *spoilers*

He is his goal and his effort so far been very good, Johnson making their defenders look silly shame we dont have more goals from all our attempts thou!
 
Whether we have taken our chances or not, Skrtel shouldn't be hoofing balls up the pitch like that, Carra has been teaching him some new tricks by the looks of it :/

Agreed with that; I know that Gerrard has just come on, but I would say that this probably stems from not having anybody in midfield who can pass properly. Last season our defenders simply got it to Xabi - now they're just giving it away.

If anyone's going to try and pass at least let it be Agger rather than Skrtel though.

Rafa has had five years to get a sqaud together and in that time he has bought one or two decent players to play along side the cast of fraggle rock!

I wish we had signed the cast of Fraggle Rock, at least we would be fun to watch :(

Johnsons still had a bad game defensively, he's way to far up the pitch and easily passed, effective up front for sure, but its not because he's good, he's up against Ridgewell, whose having a bad game, which puts him at about the worst in the prem, on his best day he's not far off the worst in the prem.

Johnson's only "doing" him because Ridgewell is reacting first, the first time Ridgewell pre-emptively stepped to his left, giving Johnson tonnes of space inside, the next big chance Ridgewell ran out then did a little jump, he was out of control, going in one direction the second he jumped Johnson changed direction. I'll give him he's playing RIdgewell for the fool he is, and taking advantage of his horrendous blunders, but most would.


The thing of it is, Liverpool were comftable at 0-0 while Birmingham were happy with a draw. THe second they scored Birmingham actually pushed for a goal exposing every Liverpool weakness, defence basically, the second Birmingham tried Liverpool looked under pressure, which also meant their unpressured unhurried play out of defence went away so Liverpool recieved the ball upfield less.

When even Birmingham pushing forwards makes Liverpool look awful defensively you've got a problem, they've managed a total of 8 goals so far and already have two against Liverpool. Both were actually well made goals, and both showed how easy it was to get through the midfield and defence when they wanted to.

You get the feeling if Birmingham had pushed from the start they'd simply be further up and Liverpool wouldn't have gotten a goal.

So thats how we need to win; we shouldn't score :rolleyes:
 
Bad time to be a Liverpool supporter at the moment. Lose this and any hope they have of competing for the league will be gone, Champions League is in a desperate situation for them and they've already been knocked out of the Carling Cup...

Bad times.
