Alonso

[Paul_LFC]

Hopefully the footy injury he suffered today won't be too serious. He sat in the dugout for the rest of the match, instead of going to the dresing room with the physio so fingers crossed.

[Guest Sabre]

He picked it up a bit earlier than Sky spotted it. Tried to run it off but lost mobility

[Cliff M]

I thought he was poor today, his passing in particular was woeful.

[Herbie von Smalls]

i reckon if they resurrect 'six feet under', Xabi would make a great long lost fisher brother.

[chrisbonnie]

i didnt see the first half myself, but thought we where utter tripe once he went off

 

hope its not serious

Both him and Crouch were poor but the shape worsened when both went off.

[Kite]

Even when he isn't on form, Alonso stills brings something to the team, seems to help us keep our discipline or shape, as you say. I thought he was poor yesterday too but we definitely became less effective once he was off the pitch.

It was just as bad when he was on. Methinks we need another class midfielder to help him if Gerrard isn't playing and Mascher isn't around. Sissoko is not the answer.

I didn't think Alonso was all that bad yesterday to be honest. Wasn't spectacular but did his job.

 

His freekicks were s*** though.

He won his battles - he tends to - but every other part of his game was wayward I thought.

 

Agree with Mr Kite above though, without him the shape tends to go.

According to www.liverpool.no both Arbeloa and Finnan struggle with injuries as well before the Porto match and with Riise deffo out we might have a problem at the back I`m not sure if I like the idea of Threllfall or Darby up against Quaresma.

Stevie at right back? or maybe even Carragher?

Momo could play right back, Aurellio has played 45. Not overly concerned about RQ

You'll love it if it happens.

Out with a groin pull.

Insua is fit, I wouldn't mind Spearing playing at RB and splitting that bottler in two either

Insua is not in our Champions League sqaud.

That's part of what I was thinking. There's absolutely no excuse for a professional footballer who's been picked to take a free kick or a penalty to miss. Both of Alonsos free kicks which I saw hit the wall...unforgiveable.

 

It's stuff like that which could cost us dear by the end of the season. As a Toon fan said to me the other day "it's yours (the league) to give away". Yesterday we started.

Is that meant to be tongue-in-cheek?

 

Alonso was poor yesterday, as he has been in a few games this season and stretching back into last season. I say give Mascherano the starting spot until he has a run of poor form.

[Koogan]

Out with a groin pull.

 

Or scared s***less after hearing scary things about this lad Kvaresma.

Or maybe out with a groin pull picked up on duty for Norway as have been said.

[Guest Anders Honoré]

I thought he did alright. Nothing exceptional, but things ticked reasonably well when he had the ball. The other midfielders didn't seem to be able to do much higher up the pitch on the day though.
