We aren't s***

[Guest Ant]

We are not in a crisis

 

We never took our chances

 

Crouch is far from s*** and their was only one oppertunity for him to possibly actually deffinatly score

 

Just because Crouch is tall doesn't make him great in the air

 

Gerrard played in the centre so you can't blame Rafa for putting him on the right

 

Kuyt is not crap

 

Gerrard had a rather poor game so we can pin some blame on him (Oh No don't insult captain fantastic)

 

Gonzalez was frozen out

 

Bellamy was tremendous

 

Defence was not diabolical

 

Blackburn scored from 1 half decent chance

 

Blackburn took thier chances

 

 

LIVERPOOL WERE VERY VERY UNLUCKY TODAY

 

 

Just trying to correct some of the statements made today...

[Guest anfieldanfield]

Missing clear cut chances, conceeding a very poor goal and playing with a unambitious, shapeless system that only a couple of players appeared to understand, can be described as a lot of things, 'unlucky' is not one of them.

 

We weren't good enough. Again.

 

Rafa Benitez must take his fair share of the blame. Sixth in the table and as far away from winning the title as ever.

 

That's the harsh reality, confront it at your peril.

I agree. We aren't s***.

 

But boy people sure love a moan when we lose.

 

We whup Wigan, takes Chelsea to the 93rd minute to beat them.

 

We whup Watford, takes Arsenal 85 minutes to beat them.

 

If we would have played Blackburn first and Watford on boxing day..we probably would have beat Blackburn and then handled Watford at home.

 

And then we wouldn't be so s***

[Ramón Benítez Hernández]

ffs.

 

If we're sh*te, I bet Charlton wish they were as sh*t as us.

[pjwy]

Of course we are not s*** however we are not as good as we sometimes think we are.Most of our wins this season have come against very poor sides but when we get up against the next tier of teams who get in our face away from Anfield,we seem to buckle.

 

We have a reasonable side but when games get tough we lack the steel,determination and spirit of the likes of Man U and Chelsea.Maybe this will change but at Ewood yesterday I thought we were coasting in the first half but once Blackburn got stuck in after the break,our soft underbelly was again exposed.

Possibly actually definiately?

 

You're right, being tall doesn't automatically make you good in the air. Being tall, playing for a top 4 club in the premiership and considering yourself a player of international standard should, however, mean you have at least a basic understanding of what is needed to head the ball.

 

I'm bored of seeing headers that amount to little more than a backpass to the keeper. I'm sick of expecting him to lose the ariel battle with players much smaller than him. I'm bored of the excuses.

 

Can't do it, fine, work on it and get better.

Nothing wrong with the system. It has worked before ala Newcastle away. We just didn't put away our chances!

Are you sure you share genes with Kev?

 

Good points well made and if it wasn't for the fact that it seems to happen with regrettable frequency these days the result would be dismissable as "just one of those games". A bit more difficult to dismiss when it is just another in the long line of missed chances. We need a goal scorer and Gerrard needs to get laid - miserable ghit.

How is it "regrettable frequency"?

 

Our last League loss was to Arsenal in November. Before that Man Utd in October.

 

I guess one loss per month is frequency.

 

But maybe you're projecting your opinions about the performances of the team at matches recently. With 7 clean sheets in a row disrupted by allowing one goal for a change after scoring 16...

[Guest Sabre]

I think the system worked fine. You've got to take your chances and I'm sure Rafa is right pissed off with Crouchy for his poor finishing once again. He should have scored at least one of those headers to set us up for an easy victory against a team with very little in the locker. Instead, we have to chase the game because we allowed Blackburn to stay in the game.

We've lost away from home six times in one season out of 10 games. 60% = regrettably frequent in my book, but then you might think that losing more than half of our away games isn't "frequent" or regretable. Taken as a whole this season has thrown up too many controlled games lost through poor finishing, in my opinion.

[yellow jumper]

we are only s*** in the context of our terrible start to this campaign. every defeat now looks like a crisis, but our performances over the last season and a half, suggest we're closer to being a very good side than a mid-table one.

 

thought we played reasonably well yesterday without finishing our chances. before this defeat we were the form side in the country. if we continue to win a similar proportion of our remaining league games as we have in the last month we'll make the top four with something to spare. which is obviously the bare minimum right now.

 

invariably when we get the first goal we look like world-beaters, perhaps only chelsea of the last two years are better from a position of supremacy. in that context we look capable of going close to the title, but there are obviously still serious issues when we concede first. hard to say if that is a mental problem, a lack of top quality, or a tactical issue. probably a little bit of everything bound in together.

[realtarragona]

It's not unlucky if we're constantly missing chances, which is what's happening time and time again. It's just poor finishing.
