It works well for teams with decent options upfront and on the wings. Sadly without Torres and Gerrard we have neither. Yossi is good but too inconsistent.

Exactly, blaming the ref is a f***ing cop out against a side struggling in the division below.

Torres has a slight twist in his knee, not serious apparently. Good news.

Looks it to me.

Never been into names on shirts, or buying shirts for that matter, but the one I have had was Alonso 14 a couple of seasons back. Gawd bless ya Xabi.

Offside when the ball is played you gin soaked old f***tard!!!! Hope the c*** dies in a crash.

If you have to point the blame at three other players and not one then you dont understand zonal marking.

I didnt say he didnt do some good things going forward, I said I wish he was a bit more confident at times, maybe he could pass the ball quicker going forward and get the ball to Gerrard, Torres and The Gog when they are in a bit of space rather than hold the ball for an extra second or two before passing to a full back, especially tonight when both full backs were very poor in possesion. As for the goal, watch Lucas' movement again, he should be tracking the man behind him and for my money he should have done better, been goalside / aware of the man behind him and put the ball out for a corner.

Lucas did well tonight, played his usual simple game and at least had the b******s to get stuck in at times, kept the ball well most of the time too. I thought he ws at fault for the goal though as he should have tracked Rasiak and stopped the ball being kept in play. I just wish he was more confident going forward, if that little chipped pass to Gerrard had of come off it would have been a great goal first half.

Our distribution from the back is shocking at best. I'm really struggling to find any qualities in Insua as a full back at the moment as well, suspect positioning, no pace, s*** in the air. Im really worried about the defending at this club recently, Agger is certainly not the f***ing Maldini some on here make him out to be either, I know he's young and all, but at the moment theres not much between him, Skrtel or Carra in terms of quality.

Why?

Sky Sports 1 and HD1 tonight.

If Rafa won't start a fit and in form N'gog against the bottom club in the league what chance is there of buying another striker in January? Sweet f*** all thats what.

Yup, Should have gone 442 with benni on the left and the gog upfront, mascherano and stevie in the middle. No excuse against the bottom side in the league not to be putting out an attacking side.

You could well say the same for 4 or 5 of the players out there today. Not to mention the bench.

So we can have an even more mediocre bench?
