Newcastle v liverpool

[Elite]

Robbie Savage giving the tactical analysis, get more sense out of a fucking monkey

[aRdja]

Allen just got outmuscled

[TheHowieLama]

Lovren just got done for pace

[J-V]

Lovren, dear me.

[Joe Strummer]

We need to toughen up here.

[billypilgrimnz]

Allen just got outmuscled

 

A common occurrence, unfortunately. And yet some on here want him tried as a defensive midfielder.

[Grinch]

Allen just got outmuscled

Seen more muscle in an anorexia support group

[Elite]

Cut out the hollywood balls Gerrard.

[Hades]

Pointless Hollywood give away by Gerrard as usual.

[billypilgrimnz]

I'd tolerate the long balls more if anything ever came of them.

[TheHowieLama]

Coloccini - hollywood

[Baltar]

Totally shambolic defending, lucky that Cisse took a dive.

[TheHowieLama]

Lovren - hollywood

[Hades]

This is spectacularly shit so far. We've barely strung two passes together.

[Elite]

Lovren is fucking useless, can't defend and wastes possession when he has it.

[TheHowieLama]

johnson - hollywood

[Frankenhooker]

Fucking long ball. We have skilful, technical players who are five foot nothing so we hoof it up to them in the air.

[Baltar]

Bring on Lambert already, will likely improve this rubbish performance by 50%.

[M_B]

The thing with Lovren is that he was pretty decent last season for Southampton. I remember Carragher gushing over his qualities. So why is he so poor for us? Is it because he can't handle the greater pressure or is it the system or is it his team mates or is it the coaching?

[Josef Svejk]

What Rodgers sees in this system with the current personnel is a mystery to me.

[Hades]

Lovren is a perfectly cromulent player.

[thompsonsnose]

Gash.

[Dr Nowt]

Savage is loving the 3 at the back when in possession 4 when not explanation, isn't he.  Just the 3 iterations to date.

 

Listening to the cogs turn in his brain as he worked that out was like watching a dog see it's reflection in a pond for the first time.

[billypilgrimnz]

Shit from Henderson there

How has our defence been in general since Rodgers took over?
