I think you've given Arsenal 3 points too many. They're still on 25.

Looks like Paletta getting ready to come on. Edit: yep, on for Hyypia

Those over-complicated short corners eh?

We seem to be play with less conviction since the goal.

Started off looking like 4-4-2 with Agger at LB, Riise LM.

Guthrie on for Pennant. With respect to Guthrie, Pennant must have been awful to be subbed when he's the only winger on the pitch and we're chasing a winner with 5 mins to go. If we win, we go third if Chelsea do beat Bolton.

Once on eseason commentary he described the atmosphere at Anfield as 'electronic'. He usually sounds drunk alright.....

At home, teams generally sit deeper and let us build up play more slowly, which suits us. One exception was Villa, who tried to press us very high up the pitch, yet we coped very well in what was, I thought, our best performance of the season. If we played away from home with the same confidence and composure on the ball we showed in that game, we'd do fine. Away from home, we are forced to play the ball forward more quickly from the back and our attacking players end up being far too isolated. Too often our wide players take up good positions but have no support. It's a lot easier for Pennant, for example, to beat his man if the full back is worried about Finnan or one of the central midfielders making a run past him off the ball. Hopefully having Agger at the back along with a bit more confidence in some of our key players will mean we play a little higher up the pitch and commit more men to the attack.

What about the dodgy socks?

We have returned to that inexplicable lack of movement off the ball that afflicted us that season. It's almost funny how, after a couple of passes we lose possession with one of our players literally standing there with no one to pass to and ending up surendering it tamely.

Kuyt has ended up doing a lot of work down the right. If we're going to do that then Gerrard and Garcia need to make runs into the box....too often Kuyt is crossing to nobody.

Yeah fair enough....just seemed odd that he moved away from the part of the goal that wasn't guarded by the wall.

Why did Reina go down to his left for the free kick?

Early in the first half, Gerrard mis***s a pass to Finnan who is breaking down the right wing. He is literally on the touchline. Marwood says 'You see that's the problem with Liverpool, no width'

Every comment starts with "The problem with Liverpool for me is....."

I think he's doing very well. I don't think he intended the handball. I think he felt he was being fouled. He doesn't react after it goes in.

I think Crouch and Fowler did ok and there wasn't a whole lot wrong with the team that was picked. The problem was that while Crouch and Fowler were playing a lot with their backs to goal, something they can both do effectively, there was no one breaking forward from midfield to support them. I don't know how many times Crouch knocked the ball back into that central area maybe 30-40 yards from goal and there wasn't a Liverpool player in camera shot, where, presumably Gerrard or Garcia was expected to be running on to it. We played that way a lot last season away from home with a lot of success. Using Crouch to hold the ball up and play in midfielders, particularly Gerrard, breaking forward. When Gerrard did get forward we had chances, but too often the midfield was far too deep to support.

Yep definitely on. I have bought tickets for it and spoke to someone at Eschen-Mauren earlier to confirm.
