Friendly against Rangers

[Joso]

We need to buy some playmakers.

[Juniper]

Won't even load on the official site......

[James Dean]

We need to buy some playmakers.

 

We had the best in the world.

 

:whistle:

[Bobby Hundreds]

We play really deep and don't seem to press the opposition at all. This is really really poor. It's irrelevant but nonetheless for a game of football it's pants.

[Allan]

That looks painful. Doni's finger shouldn't bend the way it is...

[loadsoftrophies]

Doni's finger...Ouch!

[Allan]

Hansen on for Doni.

[Joso]

:whistle:

 

Im assuming you're referring to Joe Cole. :whistle:

[Allan]

Just seen that the ressies are 3-2 down now. Sterling and Roberts with the goals.

[Pidge]

Adam coming on, good. hopefully going to four at the back as the wing-backs have added not been up and down anywhere near enough to make the system work.

[Allan]

Adam, Kuyt, Flanagan & Downing on for Lucas, Aurelio, Johnson & Bellamy.

[Code]

I`m not watching but it sounds like we are shite, we are really fucked without Suarez are we not?

[Pidge]

It really isn't just about not having Suarez. We were playing with 3-5-2 with wing backs and it was ugly. Johnson was lost defensively and didn't get up enough. Lucas and Spearing generally played the ball nicely in the middle but without the movement (other than Maxi) they didn't have many options to play up the field, so the play was slow and flat and basically we haven't gotten the ball into Carroll at all. Bellamy and Maxi both showed their quality at times but at others were wasteful or greedy.

[Allan]

Henderson, Enrique & Skrtel on for Wilson, Maxi & Agger.

[Joso]

We need to play more football. We are playing static ball passing.

[James Dean]

Andy Carroll is just gonna be a liabilty if he keeps this up. Been really poor again.

[Il Fenomeno]

It really doesn't matter what the system is. We've tried a couple of different systems without Suarez in the team and we've looked no better than Wolves. I haven't watched tonight so I can't comment on it, but its the same old story when Suarez isn't available, we look clueless and our passing is pedestrian.

[Faustus]

It's a fucking friendly, you mings.

[Guest LFD]

He has been a liability since we bought him, bar that Man City game.

 

He is woeful.

Right, and you were probably one of the many in pre-season quacking on about 'it's all about fitness, who cares about the result' as we conceded goal after goal, our midfield struggled, and our attack looked toothless.

 

Which is pretty much how we have played so far this season, and we are more reliant on Gerrard and Suarez as we ever were with Gerrard and Torres.

 

Not another game-changing matchwinner to be seen, despite 70m spent.

 

Happy days.

Genuinely couldn't give two shiny shites.

 

I doubt any of the players do either. Ask any professional footballer their opinions of friendlies and I'll bet that about 95% of them give the same reaction.

[fobbierowler]

switched over to City game, anyone know why they are throwing paper balls? wasnt starting a thread to ask

[Christian]

I just can't believe anyone cares about this game. An utter waste of time playing it and even more so assessing it.

[gumps]

Probably something "whacky" to go along with the "Poznan".

I think it's because they're dickheads, not sure though I'll check Google.....
