    To be honest, I think Liverpool really need a Manager like RAFA..who can really create the miracle (Magician)...and, don't you all see and compare the way between RAFA & KD lead their team? KD's team -less focus, opportunities wasted, awful passing skill as a team overall, any improvement for the past 6 months? Nope..and the worst part is, every time if Kops are behind the opponent (score-lines), they are really unable to turn the situation back, no miracle...how many matches can we see Liverpool turn back the games this year? I am not criticizing anyone here..but this is the facts...for me, not only players can be blame but manager as well...Liverpool really need tactical and strategy minded Manager.

    I have itsy bitsy respect for clubs who jump for joy at getting a point they really, really, really, didn't deserve. Getting an own goal, hiding in their own half, and time wasting to boot. And somehow Steve Kean's "pulled it all together for Blackburn Rovers" according to the commentary. I understand that we might do the same against a Real Madrid of today(against other opposition...not the Real Madrid against barcelona, that team blows). But I hope Real Madrid supporters would hate us for it, as we would be flat out admitting we have no right to even be in the match. Celebrate when you scrape together a win. Not when you half-ass 2 runs at goal and hope the other team nicks one back for you. Team's can't own-goal their way to a win without scoring a real goal as well, unless you're playing Arsenal.

    in other words, fuck relegation threatened English clubs. They're just annoying kids, 3 feet shorter than everyone,  giving out sucker punches to the nuts. Or in our case, "haha why are you hitting yourself? Quit hitting yourself. Quit hitting yourself."

    What day is it? Groundhog sodding day again.

    Serious improvements need to be made. Downing, Carroll, Henderson and Adam are simply not good enough.

    Lets not kid ourselves that we were unlucky. The truth is that the buy British policy has been a disaster.

    Great to see Stevie G back though. With him Maxi and Suarez we will now have 3 players capable of contributing going forward.

  • poorscouserbobby

    Liverpool are the unluckiest team in the Prem this season.  That's the only way to put it.  We've created the chances we've had amazing shots that by all rights should have gone in.  It seems we all need to donate pocket change so that our players can buy a goal.  It's so simple and frustrating at times, but rest assured Gentlemen.  We ARE coming.  It may not be this year, but it's coming... and Maxi can run down the wing for me any day of the week.

  • KC

    At least we're still unbeaten at Anfield. At Stevie G is back. Positive thoughts positive thoughts

  • fastrail

    This is bullshit...I can't stand this anymore

  • ChrisLFC

    No words.....I can't do this any more....

  • Lis

    ARE YOU FUCKING KINDDING ME WITH THESE SAVES

  • Lis

    AND OFF THE LINE, THE FUCK?

  • Ryan

    I hate everything. 

  • ChrisLFC

    Crosses today.....HORRIBLE!

  • NANI

FUCK!!!!!!!!!!! HA HA HA HA!!!!!!!!!!!! IF LIVERPOOL CAN WIN THIS MATCH,I'ILL CHOP MY HEAD DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HA HA HA HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • somehow I find this funny

  • Lis

    Wow, do you work on a chicken butchering farm?

  • poorscouserbobby

    Nani are you ok? can you tell us if you're Ok?

  • brother jon

    are you OK, Nani? 
    (not that i care)

  • Lis

    Damn you, Bunn.

  • Ryan

    That volley. You can tell Stevie just misses being out there. 

  • Lis

    Stevie on for Charlie Adam. This counts as a Christmas present.

  • ChrisLFC

    Gerrard for Charlie....upgrade much?

  • Luis Suarez dentist

    It's like replacing a Morris Minor with a Tank!

  • Ryan

    Steven Gerrard's taking his pants off. Shit's going down. 

  • fastrail

    Put Gerrard on please!

  • fastrail

    oh yes and Adam is off!!

  • ChrisLFC

    Sky ball from Chucky A.....shocking.

  • Ryan

    Maxi scored? Well at least something's familiar.

  • ChrisLFC

    Relying on Martin Skrtel for the beauty of that final pass.....of course.

  • Ryan

    Martin Skrtel. Liverpool's new number 10. 

  • Red2death

    Surely Maxi has to be a regular starter now.  Even just by stats alone, a start for Maxi equals a goal for Liverpool.

  • Ryan

    Just woke up on the floor...don't know why. Missed the first half. Own goal. So damn confused.

  • fastrail

    maxi!!well if someone is gonna score then it has to be him

  • Lis

    MAXI!!!!

  • Luis Suarez dentist

    One thing that I've noticed is that with the exception of Suarez (and on occasions Maxi) wehardly ever play a one touch pass.

    Another thing. If Adam and Hnderson are attacking midfielders then has anyone noticed them make any contribution at all today going forward?

  • etipok

    were a bit of a strange team. were good enough to beat the top teams because they have the desire to attack and we enough quality to exploit the space they leave behind them but we are not good enough to impose our style of play and break smaller more stubborn teams down. at times in the 1st half we really didnt play like the home team

  • we're?

  • etipok

    weve dropped 2 points, at home, against a team that started the day propping up the table and your greatest concern is my grammar. some fan u r!

  • It only took six months but I hate Charlie Adam more than I hated John Arne Riise.  Worthless.  And it is starting to affect my opinion of Kenny.  And will he have the balls to make a substitution at halftime?  Because Adam needs to come off, now.

  • jpr

    Own goal. Leading scorer for us and against us.

  • fastrail

    Seriously...blackburn did nothing yet they are leading...we fade away over time...like we did most of the season...and Agger is also at fault for giving away that corner...silly mistake

  • McrRed

    he was pushed...twice...but the lino did nothing about it

  • Waiting for Sterling

    WE NEED GERRARD!  This is f****g infuriating!

  • KC

    I want Gerrard to come on for Adam

  • Nbusa

    Small consolation but I think Downing has looked dangerous today. Need more of that please.

  • Luis Suarez dentist

    If we put Carroll, Henderson, Adam and Downing up for sale in January then how much we would get?

    This January the buy British policy has to be replced by the sell British policy.

    Honestly who was the last non scouse Briish player who was even half way decent for us?

  • Lis

    Well, Bellamy, if you can count a Welshman as British.

  • jpr

    You tell him, Lis. LSD, that's B....e....l......l....a.....  uh? Ask Kenny.

  • Luis Suarez dentist

    Over 2 spells at the club he has ranged between mediocre - decent but lets be honest he has hardly been a world beater for us!

  • Lis

    You said "half way decent for us" and he definitely has been that.

  • Luis Suarez dentist

    ok on hissecond spell at the club he has been 'half decent'.

  • KC

    PLEASE GERRARD COME ON NOWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

  • Zach

    screw liverpool. I hate us. not. but this is ruining my holidays.

  • ChrisLFC

    There's no profanity laced tirade strong enough for what I feel like doing right now.

  • ChrisLFC

    Well I gave it a go...turns out I was wrong.

  • Lis

    A team at the bottom of the EPL is leading at Anfield. Really, Liverpool??

  • Red2death

    Surprising?  Liverpool has always been a favorite for clubs in a bind.  Perfect team to pull off a 'shock' win against.

    Whenever you see dismal records like 5 points in 10 games, you can bet some of those points were against Liverpool.

  • Lis

    Unfortunately you're completely right.

  • fastrail

    Okay now...Fuck!!

  • Lis

    I wonder if there one day will be a match where the opposing keeper doesn't pull off great saves.

  • ChrisLFC

    Honestly....how did he make that save?  Honestly....how many times do we have to say that about opposing teams goalkeepers?

  • Red2death

    Most times hitting the woodwork... 
    Most penalty misses...
    Most MOTM awards to opposition keepers...

    We're racking up some nice unwanted records here.

  • Bgurakan

    Not even their regular keeper

  • Red2death

    Not very inspiring so far.  We're being given time and space on the ball, but not doing anything with it.  Blackburn content to sit back and take whatever we throw at them.  Heck, even the ref's on our side today.  This should be a comfortable win, but it's far from that right now.

  • brother jon

    don't think i remember the last time downing and carroll started together.  'excited' would be an overstatement, but still, this was the theory, right? 

    here's to a cracking start to Jesus' 2012th year.

  • alex_snow2

    apparently Andy Carroll also has a black eye... every time that man wastes more of what potential he has, I die a little inside.

  • fastrail

    Gerrard on the bench fuck yea

  • jpr

    A 2 hour taped delay of the game is on Fox Soccer Channel at 12 noon as most here may already know. How bout that Chelsea/Fulham first half, 0/0, a tie would be nice.

  • Ricky Rozay

    Carroll has cut his hair!

  • AdamSonOfIstanbul

    Tell me it's not true! Andys locks were the only reason my girlfriend would wake up and go to the pub with me on a Sunday morning!

  • Ed

    Apparently it's not, so you've still got a shot!

    At least one in which your partner wishes you were someone else. Welcome to my life.
