TLW picks the team v Basle

[billypilgrimnz]

So, apart from Gerrard and Sturridge, who can actually shoot in this fucking team?

[The Golden Eel]

We gifted them an easy first half by picking a team that was ridiculously easy to defend against. We should have hit them like that from the off and they'd have shit themselves

[KMD7]

Good fight back at the end but too little too late. 

[J-V]

So, apart from Gerrard and Sturridge, who can actually shoot in this fucking team?

 

Henderson by the looks of it if he had the balls to try it more often.

[Jairzinho]

Completely on the manager that. Absolutely fucking appalling from Rodgers.

[Baltar]

Took us until the 80th minute for us to start playing. Way too late by then. Now we have the Europa League to look forward to. Hurrah.

[Phoenix]

If only we played like that for more than 15 minutes.

[J-V]

Europa League whoopty fucking do.

[bossy]

We've tried for that last half an hour but its the least we expect. Not good enough against a team from Switzerland when we only needed a win he treated them like a world class side and went for containment hoping to sneak a win. goodbye i hope.

[an tha]

How the fuck was there only 4 mins there, must have been over 2 when keeper was down, the red card, subs. Had to be 6 that.

 

Intensity and drive at the end but too little too late.

 

Seems a pattern of late soporific first halves and improved 2nd halves.

 

So fucking frustrating

[Frankenhooker]

Showed some fight and passion in that second half, but we lost it in that first 45, which is among the worst I've seen.

 

We lose to United at the weekend and Rodgers is under real pressure. Fucking gutted.

[Joe Strummer]

Hull, Stoke, Sunderland and now Basel. Same sorry pathetic story, absolute dire in 1st half improving in 2nd when it's too later. Fucking shitbags. We are shite.

[JermainePennant]

Henderson, Allen and Gerrard were all dogshit tonight, our midfield cost us the game.

[magicrat]

So, apart from Gerrard and Sturridge, who can actually shoot in this fucking team?

Hendo . Sterling is never going to be great player unless he learns how to strike a ball properly. Amazing that he has so much ability on the ball but is incapable of striking it with any force in the direction of the goal

[BCM]

Rodgers skulking off down the tunnell at the final whistle

[ratcatcher]

Good effort at the end there but ultimately shit.

 

Sadly this.

[Red House]

Deserve to go out. Europa is more our level.

Waiting for Rodgers to come out and blag about how we showed tremendous passion to get back in the game, despite another monumental tactical fuck up from him yet again.

[J-V]

If only we played like that for more than 15 minutes.

 

The bullshitter made a rod for his own back before kick off.

[Wezza]

Five points in that group, five points.

[Dr. J]

He'll go on about the red card but there's no hiding the fact we deserved nothing from that. Can't stroll for 80' and run for 10.

[Red House]

So, apart from Gerrard and Sturridge, who can actually shoot in this fucking team?

Answer no one. Well, maybe Lambert, but by the time he starts swinging his foot, opposition defenders have more than enough time to hoof the ball away.

 

Rodgers seems to have a thing for players with powder puff shooting - Markovic, Coutinho, Lallana, Allen, not to forget the majestic Aspas.

[magicrat]

Completely on the manager that. Absolutely fucking appalling from Rodgers.

You're right. Abysmal selection , 

I would rather see Skrtel up top than Lambert and criminal not using Lallana

[Oh Buoy]

Time to get back to basics and focus on the league. Could potentially be a blessing in disguise.

[KMD7]

here's something to lighten the mood

 

[Alan Sex]

To be honest I don't think we would have had the motivation to get back into the game without that red card.

 

It was a kick up the arse we needed, but the damage was done with the terrible first half.

 

Forget everything else, we will not be competitive until we sign 1 or 2 quality strikers.
