When times are bad you go with a tried and trusted way. SOLID UP THE MIDDLE OF THE PARK Goalkeeper, 2 good centre backs, 2 good centre midfielders, and 2 good forwards, and build from there. Stevie and Xavi are the best two midfielders, so they start every week Any two from carra, sammi, and agger at the back upfront Kuyt and one other I have slagged crouch off all season as a waste of space, but today he done more in 15 mins than the other 2 done the whole game. I'm still a bit unsure about gonzales, Pennant needs to improve All in all today apart from maybe garcia, i couldn't argue with the selection Lack of confidence, plus poor finishing cost us. But its better than last week

BLURT

Some blurts on here

A fella i work with tells me he's been watching the reds since the early 60's. I asked him for his opinion of what's happening now. He told me he would prefer to keep his opinions to himself for fear of more abuse. I told him i wasn't about to abuse him, go on tell me, i can take it. It seems that he had voiced his opinions to some other lads, and they had come out with the usual "You don't go the game, so F**k off" I found this very sad, yes he did have strong opinions about the team, and a certain chilien winger, dutch midfielder, and england centre forward not being good enough to wear the shirt, the manager, and why we need stevie more than we need rafa Just didn't think he deserved the abuse, he's entitled to an opinion. Is this what we have sunk to

I don't want him to go. He's our best player Benitez must know its time to play him in CM

Did i hear it on here that the reason Didi left was that the manager told him Stevie was going to play in the centre this season, and there was no place for Didi. A mate of mine tells me that it says in Gerrards autobiography that him and Murphy used to call the right midfield slot, they would do anything not to play there, saying, you never saw the ball and were always the first to be brought off if things were not going to plan. I think Stevie should play centre midfield, i also think Alonso should play alongside him. Momo is a bit part player ONLY. I'm sorry my 2 best midfielders play from the start as much as possible. Leave Gerrard where he is and one of two things will happen, either Stevie will leave, or the crowd may just turn on Rafa

Sissoko is a very good player, who can win the ball, and let the others play. However in order to win the league, we need to let teams worry about us, and not the other way round, against Reading, Sheff u, and Watford we need 6 players who can all threaten their goal, the back 4 should be able to cope. Momo does not offer anything going forward, we need to learn when to use him.

No problem mate, Ta

Gerrard & Alonso CENTRE OF MIDFIELD Sissoko can only play when we are up against a big team and we need to be more solid in the centre, or with 10 minutes to go, 1-0 up and we want to close the game down. We need to be positive and sissoko does not offer a creative or forward thinking option. I'm sorry to tell you this boys

i think he should start in a three during the big games, just making the point that if we go behind he doesn't offer anything going forward.

that Momo can't score, will probably never score, and when we go one goal down its pointless keeping him on the pitch. Yes play him in the big games, but if we go behind, he has to be sacrificed for an attack minded player.

Just ban international football, its crap anyway. inngerlund is for people from Tamworth, Tunbridge wells and Taunton only

Sorry boys we had no heart and no passion today

Never been a Owen fan myself. But you can see how much we miss a goalscorer. YES, go and pay the £18m

Anyone looking for a pint, why not go to the soccerdome, its in between the away car park and the away end.

Would have Robbie back anytime. A different sort of striker to what we've got, someone who can come up with that goal out of nothing, when your looking for a break.
