Europa League - Liverpool v Rubin Kazan

[an tha]

There needs to be more songs, it's embarrasing that they have to rehash the same song about 10 times per game. Fields of Anfield road, Livvverpoooll, Sakho, When the reds go marching in over and over again.

A lot of our old songs dont fly either these days...they are great on a coach or in an ale house but are too long and wordy in the ground and fade away.

 

Every other saturday

The reds are coming up the hill

Poor scouser tommy

Liverbird

 

For example - or just never sung like 'we hate nottingham forest'

 

Or come on you mighty reds...

[Nightcat]

Yes, you can consider the current season as a long preseason, since our last two actual preseasons have been ridiculous. After all, we can see the good work of the preseason already, with a team lacking fitness and a plethora of long-term injuries.

[Sputnik1]

 

We only have a point on the two below us. We needed the win tonight and it's fucking annoying that we couldn't get that against a 10 man crap team. One of those below us beats the other and then it gets interesting. 

[Anubis]

Just watched the highlights on ITV. Some poor defending from Clyne and Can not tracking back in the first half. But it looked like we played generally well but lacked firepower.

 

Nice bit of snide commentary at the end. At over the allotted three minutes injury time showed a few people leaving while saying "looks like they've had enough." Turned over before the Hoddle/McLeish analysis as I'd probably boot the telly.

Us beating Kazan over there is far, far from certain.

 

We are probaby in trouble now. Only 1 home game left as well.

[Harry Squatter]

I thought that was great. The players gave their all and thats all you can ask for at the end of the day. Yes we should of won, but the pressing in the first 15 minutes was superb and we battered them the whole game. I think it was something like 30 shots on goal and 70% possession.

 

Replace Origash with Sturridge and it would of been over by half time.

No mention of the fact city can't sell out against good CL sides at 25 quid a ticket no doubt.

[Gym Beglin]

Henderson would make the world of difference.

[Harry Squatter]

So good I posted it twice

They can't park the bus at home and we will have a few players back. I don't think we are in trouble yet but we need to win our next game.

Henderson would make the world of difference.

Pointing and contesting throw-ins would dramatically improve for a start. Sad state of affairs when we badly miss Henderson.

Henderson is the biggest pussy of the lot.  Milner and Coutinho need bin bagging for a while though, and we are short of alternatives.

I reckon they would have beaten us tonight if they had kept 11 men on.

 

Next game is them away isn't it?

[xerxes]

A disappointing result.

 

But Brendan's legacy is a team ranked 54th in Europe, sandwiched between FC Genk and APOEL. Klopp has a job on his hands

I think FC Genk are have some outstanding individuals. APOEL have a wonderful group of technicians at their disposal as well, so we need to fight every day of our lives and show tremendous character to finish above them.

Biggest pussy you say....

 

[moof]

After getting smashed by that elbow didn't he carry on playing and contributing to a good result? Not exactly 'pussyish'

 

Good decision to take him off at half time today, mind.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

We'll get better when Henderson and Sturridge are back. Jury's out on how much Firmino and Benteke will improve us. But we still need some quality signings in the summer if we want to challenge for a top 4 place next season.

So, has everyone already given up on top 4 this season?

 

It's October, you shower of fannies.

[Jairzinho]

We obviously can't drop Milner and Coutinho. Henderson is injured and Allen is shite.

 

How the fucking fuck have we got to this stage? £300m spent and we haven't got any midfielders. Is this real life? It's like someone sabotaging on Football Manager.

[TheHowieLama]

We need three or four gents - got 13 or 14 lads.

[Hades]

This all Teeth's fault. Spent £20M trying to replace our best centreback and left Skrtel without competition. Spent £25M trying to replace our best playmaker. Spent £32.5M on a target-man lump that doesn't suit any top team after signing one the previous season and not playing him. Loaned out of our only two wingers. Signed a 29 year old winger to be our midfield general and made him the highest earner at the club. Klopp will do well to finish ahead of Spurs with this mess. 

[G Richards]

Poor result but some encouraging signs that things are starting to turn. Some good pressing and a very dominant display, just lacking the finish.

 

It will be interesting to see what happens with Benteke and Sturridge as the season unfolds. I think Ings and Origi will be here next season, but I suspect only one of Sturridge/Benteke will. I think the rest of the season is an audition to see who will stay. Will Sturridge ever put a good run of games together and show Klopp what he can do? Will Benteke make his mark here? You get the feeling Klopp will bring another striker in next season. And central midfielder. And central defender.

 

In the meantime lets see what they are made of. Top four is nowhere near gone yet and I'm as intrigued as the next fan with how this season will pan out. Klopp has a lot of work to do, but he strikes me as just the sort to relish the challenge.

[Hades]

We're shite in Zones 1-18, apart from that we're sound.
