Lyon vs. Liverpool 04/11/09

[coop]

Personally think Rafa dropped a bollock not bringing on Aquilani for either Kuyt or Benayoun.

[gaz181]

Gutted, just gutted.

[Sandman]

I have a wry smile here because let's face it, what the fuck else can you do?

 

Over the summer someone at the club killed a gypsy with a smashed mirror, it's the only explanation for this. Fate is pissing in our faces and laughing about it.

 

I'm sorry but I think the Manager needed to pull his finger out today.

[Herp McDerp]

And do what exactly? Play Gerrard?

[jackofdk]

I don't want to blame the owners for our appalling run of form this season, but today with Kyrgiakos and Voronin the main reasons that we didn't win, I can't think of anything else. Neither had been at the club had Rafa had any money to spend this summer.

 

So I guess it all boils down to this: Thanks, David Moores.

[TheBitch]

If I ever see Voronin in a Liverpool shirt again. . . . . . . I'll. . . . . . I' ll . . . . . . . . I don't know what I'll do actually but it sure won't be pretty.

[rubble-rouser]

He did.

[Manny]

With the team that we put out, we played well and the manager deserves credit. He can't be blamed for the defence being so fucking leaden footed at the death.

[Thants]

7 mins to goal. I feel it.

 

That was fucking accurate, you got to admit.

[The Special One]

Can I just say in this time of sadness... there are some legendary tags on this thread.

[theghost]

Hey Lance, stop acting like a smug cunt

[Anubis]

Personally think Rafa dropped a bollock not bringing on Aquilani for either Kuyt or Benayoun.

I'd agree with that as a swap for Kuyt, but Benayoun was worth keeping on. Still, we had some good chances there and we needed Kuyt, Torres or Voronin to put them away. Kuyt in particular has let us down this season.

[Paul]

Personally think Rafa dropped a bollock not bringing on Aquilani for either Kuyt or Benayoun.

 

The only explanation is that he was just too ill and only on the bench in case of an emergency.

[Torvald Utne]

Can we abstain from the Yoofa cup? I wouldn't even care if we won it, I'd prefer to play less matches.

And do what?

[Torvald Utne]

goal was offside by the way....player was returning from an offside position before knocking it through to lisandro

[Carlos Durninio]

Shambolic defending at the end there. Agger was just as culpable as Kyriakos. But at least he brings the ball out right...

 

Not much better going forward either. It was always going to take something special to get anything out of the game. For all the talk of the lack of funds, the manager's philosophy is wretched. He prefers fitness over technical ability, and players are treated like chess pieces and unable to really express themselves.

[1892-LFCWasBorn]

Not having any of that.

 

He chose to put the useless Greek cunt in the centre of our defence and push Carra to the right.

 

He chose to play Voronin up front. Kuyt on the right and Benayoun on the left. Felt so sorry for Benayoun. Whenever he had the ball, he didn't have any options apart from Nando, who was too far away from.

 

He chose to take Torres off when there was fuck all time left. Sorry, but N'gog has no fucking presence. If we were 2-0 up then I could fully understand taking Nando off. Then there was the significance of the second goal if we scored it.

 

I lost complete confidence in Rafa tonight.

Unfortunately we're all but guaranteed a place.

 

We'd have to lose our remaining two games and Debrecen would have to win both of theirs for us to finish bottom.

 

It's the worst consolation prize in history.

 

We should bung the refs for the final games, if it works we qualify, if it doesn't we get thrown out of europe until next season. It can't fail...

[BRAP]

And its come back to haunt us,Voronin is fuckin awful and may cost rafa his job,here is hoping for a lyon win I cant see it though. Under normal circumstances as Jamie just said its not the end of the world,however without Rafa and no dosh we could well be fucked.

[RyanLFC]

Anyone calls Rafa tonight is a tosser, he put out the best team and we played well. Simple. We move on lads, as Carra said.

[t1971]

The only explanation is that he was just too ill and only on the bench in case of an emergency.

 

Aquillani is still far from full fitness and thats without the virus he picked up. I Dont have a problem with him not getting on.

[trefoil]

kuyt has the touch of a rapist and the other players are starting to realise it, they wont give him the ball because they know he'll lose it and if they do give it him he loses it anyway

[Fugitive]

The only explanation is that he was just too ill and only on the bench in case of an emergency.

 

That's what I reckon.
