West Bromwich Albion FC vs Liverpool FC

[Jarvinja Ilnow]

We need 3 across the middle. With 2 Across the middle we have no control of the midfield regardless how shite the opposition.

I think we found that out against Oldham last season, and again against Villa a couple of weeks ago. Maybe the derby win was the exception rather than the rule for the 2 men across the middle formation.

[Jarvinja Ilnow]

Have a meltdown in pub, have a fight, get it out of your system! I just mean it's funny how you never see some people post but as soon as we lose or don't win all these new names pop up saying how shit we are and how it's Rodgers fault or Toures a cunt. We fucked up a very good chance to go further ahead, it was shit nobody would disagree but fuck me you don't half get the mongs out in full force.

I'm going out to the pub later - I can quote your advice in court, I assume!

Yeh. It'll be fine, just make sure it's the smallest man in there, it could get embarrassing otherwise!

[Horus]

I think forums serve a valuable service, by providing the place for people to have a good old whinge. So fucking what if people are pissed off and express that in the match thread. Choose one of the other threads to go and be a superfan in.

 

The fucking cunting bollocks about how people don't moan after a victory is absurd. 

 

 

Ooooh, look at me. Look how great I am at not moaning after we play shit. It's a fucking forum on the internet - if it bothers some of you that much ask Dave if you can be a mod, and try and do something about it, or check out a different thread.

 

Some people moan more that others. Some people are glass half full, and others are glass half empty. Stop trying to tell people what they should feel and think after games.

[Fi!]

Quoting someone "we are playing 5-1-4"

 

This seems so true, given that Gerrard is almost the 3rd CB and coutinho is so far forward. Gerrard needs to actually play in the DM position and not beside the 2 CBs

I think that's the real worry. The derby always brings a big performance from Gerrard, and that rubs off on others. How certain players react to the atmosphere and intensity of the occassion often overrides a lot of the finer tactical details.

[sir roger]

A bit deflated obviously, but in the last 13 games we are 9-2-2 & the 2 losses were City & Chelsea so lets not get too despondent.

 

A bit surprised Mignolet is getting stick, I thought he was one of our better players today. The distribution can be better, but feel a bit for him as any kick longer than 20 yards means are outsiders to win the ball as most of our players are tiny.

[Mr T]

Disappointing. Not surprised we're so flat after the transfer fuck-up. We need to get that out of our system now and kick on. Otherwise I'm going to fuck off watching us all together.

made a great save from mcauley header but probably shouldnt have given toure the ball.

 

nearly all the blame goes on toure for goal but overall the team didnt play well and the manager couldnt change it with his subs.

 

angriest I ve been after a game in a long time.

[bossy]

Thought mingolet played ok, Touré fucked it up. Sterling was the only player who really played well. We have more points than we did yesterday so I'm not feeling completely shite. The Villa game was ten times as bad.

[Trucker Paddy]

Henderson was poor? Well HOW about Coutinho? Did you actually watch the game or did you read the skysports updates you idiots?

Couthinio is awful, may as well be starting with ten men most games he plays, there's a reason inter sold him on the cheap, and now we're seeing it, can't shoot no pace and offers nothing in tight games, needs dropping straight away, he more than anybody is benefiting from our shitness in the transfer market

[El Rojo]

In Mignolet's defence, he's got what's virtually a second/third string back four in front of him. And whatever about his distribution, the Pepe Reina of the last few seasons wouldn't have been agile enough to get a hand to make that point blank save.

 

We didn't get Suarez on the ball often enough today.

 

Sterling was great again. What a transformation from the weak, insipid kid who could never beat a player last season.

[kopboy11]

Thought Hendo was dreadfull today.Not the only one but have come to expect more from him.

[Jay86]

Bit harsh to call him awful. I agree he's only playing well like 1 in 3 but he's still a quality player, he's young and judging by his pre match interview he can't speak English yet. He was outstanding against Everton I thought, I also agree that he can't shoot at all, somebody at the club can surely see this and should be having him in after training to practise on it as he gets in some decent positions.

He started the move for our goal no? Mind you, you didn't like Rodgers until he grew on you so maybe Coutinho will do the same.

[cmuller]

not his fault with gerrad playing in between the centre halfs and coutihno in no man's land. At times he was the only player in the middle positioned where you'd expect them to be.

Very very harsh. You missed the goal then I assume?

[Trucker Paddy]

He passed the ball to Suarez who did something brilliant and passed to Sturridge, hardly a telling contribution, it's like starting with 10 men most games with him. I hope he improves and grows on me but this season I've seen a player who only plays when his team are on top, total luxury player who wouldn't get in any other team in the top 7 IMO

[Iceman]

On the Inter forums when we bought Coutinho they rated him very highly and were mightily pissed off that we got him. He is in no way a shit player.

Couthino is awful?? What the fcuk are u smoking

[Iceman]

He cut the defence open with that pass. I hope you're not driving the truck the way your knee is jerking right now.

[Torvald Utne]

coutinho was motm against everton for me.

[Jay86]

coutinho was motm against everton for me.

And me

[Trucker Paddy]

Very very harsh. You missed the goal then I assume?

So passing the ball to a player who does something brilliant to set up a goal is worth praising? He puts in 4 out of 10 performances most games, goes missing when it's tight, more than anybody he's benefited from our shitness in the transfer market, because any half decent playmaker would take his place

[Trucker Paddy]

And me

Played well when team is on top, there's the point, shit today shit against villa shit against Bournemouth, see the pattern
