How embarassing are we right now! we cant play football to save our lives! its so,so boring to watch we are a laughing stock we dont know what to do with the ball when we get it and those 2 fcuking dumb bastards in lucas and kuyt are just utter crap the worst 2 players to play 4 us they dont bring NOTHING,ZERO NOWT to the team i feel sorry 4 gerrard playing in such an average side at present when is this crap ever going to end we have scored and we are just happy to sit back and let everton come at us this isnt us and rafa as usual on the touchline hasnt got a fcuking clue what he’s doing! i cant watch we are so so average its UNREAL!!!!!! as usual RB leaves it to late 4 subs isnt it obvious to him and 40,000 fans that it isnt working and a change is needed but no he just doesnt see it i hate rafa so much he doesnt seem to know what he’s doing and the mistakes he keeps making over and over it beggars belief! lucas and kuyt just doesnt work in the team full stop!!!!! we score and then we defend like fcuk that just isnt us the sooner rafa is fcuking sacked the better this is worse than a slide we are on is a season long slide! looks like aquilani isnt gonna come on we are in 75th min NOW! WHY DOES RAFA PUT HIM ON THE FCUKING BENCH IF HE DOESNT’ PUT HIM ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! im sick of rafa’s stupid stupid decisions! what a fcuking loser! we will not get 4th at this rate maybe 4th from bottom! we are pathetic and its just getting worse by every game we play!!!!!! GET THAT USELESS SPANISH PRICK OUT why was yossi on the bench? we got a lot lot worse to come yet see ya guys ive had enough of this fcuking shyt!!!! whats the FUCKING POINT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How much of a shambles was we i know a win is a win but the way we got it was not deserved what is wrong with our play of late we dont know what to do with the ball when we get it im really starting to get knarcked now as to why rafa WONT play aquilani at 20m and he’s warming the bench instead of that USELESS piece of crap lucas who is the worst liverpool player in history to wear the red shirt he is that CRAP! the same goes 4 kuyt his overrall play and first touch is simply mind boggling sheer crap is it any wonder why we are playing the way we are! coz RB cant see the fcuking obvious right in front of his face! im not holding out for any signings in the jan window either guys! whats the point rafa doesnt know what the fcuk he’s doing the loser!

hi kev yes it was a crap game, but derby,s allways are. ive seen so many when we have played good, yet lost. and vica versa the game was about a win and we needed it badly, we got it even if we played crap. we needed 3 points and got them kev have to dissagree with you about lucas, thoe i am no fan of his, i think kuyt is worse than him. thoe he scored the 2nd goal in the win, before that he was usless, as a winger reira is a millon times better, as a player too. my mate was gutted as the blue noses as he says were the better team, but as i said yes we played crap, but you still could not beat us . we think we have got it bad aresnal fans are calling for wenger to be sacked, after chelsea,s 3/0 win. in italy they want mourino out, as he says. i have no friends. poor man in jan kev if and i say if babel voronin, and dossena go there will be someone in..

At least we finally got a win. And looking at our previous performances certainly it wouldn’t have been any better. it had to be crap.

on Lucas i can only say he has improved from being a liability to the team into being useless which 2 me is better although worrying because as the saying goes “it only those that never try out some thing new that never make a mistake”.

But Guys Rafa as usual made me not enjoy the win with him opting to try and defend the one goal, making me again wait till late for him to make the changes and of course denying Aquillani even a second on the pitch.

Btw i remember when Aquillani was signing the contract (i stand 2 be corrected) there were rumours about the overall cost being affected by how fast he becomes fit and his contribution towards the season. Could RB be making some savings!! lol because its the only reason i can think of for his being on the bench!!

Rouman have u hit ur head this morning? when u get out of bed its feet first lol! are u telling me ur starting to like lucas? id rather u than me bud i stand by my opinion on him he will never be liverpool quality he is simply shyt the same goes 4 kuyt how both get 90 mins every week is one of the biggest mysterys i can remember but yesterdays performance was shocking ok we got 3 points but as i said and jb said why score then try and defend a 1-0 lead its just not us and we are better than that we need to build on this and get a good run going up to xmas and get back in to the title race (never know!) with blackburn away sat that will be a tough game they will wanna perform with big sam being back on touchline i do hope that torres will be fit and rafa needs to play yossi,riera and aquilani play your best team not utter crap like lucas & kuyt!

no i don,t rate lucas either, but i think kuyt is the worse of the2.for me he is 29 , lucas 20, lucas can learn but kuyt its all over for him. your right about defendig a 1/0 but how many times have we done that? everton are going through a bad time too, they did all they could to win. we played with fear of loosing, and will continue to untill we get are confedence back. have to say SG was crap yesterday, but i have heard he is not match fit yet. aquilani had no chance to play on sunday the way everton tackle, they kicked the shite out of egog, aquilani would have been out for another 6 weeks. i just want to win, playing crap or not i want wins…

Any attempt to take positives from the shambles at Goodyshite Park shows how far we have lowered ourselves as a club under the guidance of RB.
Another 4 man defence with 2 holding midfield and 1 man upfront hanging on for grim death for most of the game against the Blue Shite ?
It cannot get any worse – yes we needed a win and we’ll take anything right now. It was bloody horrible.
Northwhich Vic v Runcorn would have served up something better.
You can only guess at the names to go on the team sheet at Blackburn but be absolutley certain it will be a 4 man defence with 2 holding midfield and 1 man upfront.
The one trick pony has no other ideas – nick a goal and hang on. It’s all he craves.
It cannot get any worse.

I agree when that it was not a good performance.When liverpool’s attack broke down the ball was 20 seconds later in the liverpool box and it wasnt as if everton were just usingthe long ball. The midfield seemed to be strangely non-existent and was easily bypassed.. I dontknow why gerard doesnt play alongside alonso Gerard can play alongside anyone in the centre and they would have a balance this thing about him supporting the striker?s? is not of use when they dont have an alonso and they have an italian Aquilania on the bench who was brought in todo that. I dont think liverpool is in tatters but a few changes are needed in positioning

damn..not alonso mascherano…!

Your spot on otleyred with your post RB had the cheek to say on that crap performance the weekend maybe we will turn the corner ive got news for him if we keep playing like that then we will get beat every week we wont have a corner to turn to! can anyone on this site work rafa out,coz i cant he suppose to be this master at tactics yet he keeps making the same mistakes every week??? who apart from me and otleyred still things we are goin forward under RB? all ive seen is us goin further backwards i wanna know and every fan wants to know is when are we goin to see aquilani play 90 mins not secs! why spend 20m on him and leave him on the bench just doesnt make sense! i agree with what rouman says kuyt is so average the same goes 4 lucas.

Anyone seen criticalmind and eddie888 lately??????

there,s afew missing kev, 1red1pool, scouse4life, as well as eddie, and criticalmind. like us there probally pissed off. they might be on other sites well 2009 has brought us nothink, lets hope 2010 witch is not far away brings us somethink. we play arse soon and that will be some game, if we turn up but blackburn first another tough no frills team. will torres get a kicking? aqulani will he play v blackburn? not sure but the arse game would be the game he should play in, as they play football. still he has to get use to the rough stuff its the prem. i don,t want 4th its 3rd or2nd for me can you hear me rafa..

Kev, Rouman. I’m still here but a few seem to have `moved on’. I think Eddie is in Malta but that shouldn’t stop him from posting here. You can’t blame them not being on the site after what was suppoosed to be `our year’. Aquilani is a strange case Rouman. We pay all that cash and then have to pussyfoot around choosing which games he plays(!!!!) in. A few minute here and a few seconds there it seems. If he has come here as a EPL standard player then get him on the park and keep him on it. It is nonsense to me that we `hide’ him. If Benitez belives he is not fit that might be different, but for f.s. we haven’t got much for our money yet!

May be they were tired of saying the same things week in week out. If Aquillani is no longer ijired then he has to be give alot of play time 4 him to adjust to the premiership and gain fitness.

Certainly he can never be worse than Lucas. RB is just in love with Lucas hence prefers him to Aquillani because currently RB believes in defensive games while Aquillani is attack minded.

Or may be RB is scared that Aquillani’s presence in midfield my make Lucas look even worse than he currently looks.

2 be sincere with our current financial problems and Lucas Age i don’t mind if he is on the bench as a back up. I don’t think Rafa can get any body better than him at the same price(because i can guess his taste). He should concentrate on getting another striker better than Voronin.

looks like klinsman, is sniffing around liverpool for a job. he says its all rumours but we all know the yanks, like him i hope not if we are getting a new man in not him, he is usless. bayen munich dumped after one year he wants a new job in the summer, and liverpool are high on his list..

Aquiliani will be as influential as alonso (as long as he doesnt go and break and his leg) he is not a pu55y like certain continentanls that come to England and he has already demonstrated what he can do

i see blackburn beat chelsea, on pens after drawing 3-3. chelsea brought on there big guns to no avail, so lets hope were up to the mark on sat otherwise we could be in trouble…

Rouman,

I want RB out but he would rather stay if the only better replacement the yanks can get is klinsman. He is 2 times shyter than RB. I know if Rafa decides to do the right things especially on team selection even by the end of December we could be title contenders again because his current mistakes sre so obvious for any one 2 see.

RB is not Voronin whom you are sure any replacement can be better. Secondly if RB is out then the last thing i need 2 see is another looser replacing him those can be more 5 years of trauma.

klinsman NO NO NO he is simply not welcome!!!!

I want rafa out to jb but i agree if its klinsmann they can only come up with as a potential replacement then those yanks are more stupid than we thought klinsmann is nothing than a crap manager and a cheat so no thanks,maybe mourinho or hiddink would be great but thats a big NO and this current time the yanks cant sack RB coz it would cost them 20m and thats sort of money we dont have,rouman is there any news/truth that RVN is coming to us in jan? that would be a good signing he certainly knows where the goal is and he’d get us 15 goals a season which could prove vital 4 us id go 4 it if i was a betting man we need 3 pts on sat especially with arsenal coming up next that will be a toughie i have heard that torres may be back sat that will give the whole team a big boost,and on one final note which i thought was funny according to the papers today the mancs are SKINT!!!! oh bless nevermind eh!?!

allright kev, rvn not sure rafa is intrested but he wants forlan too.the trouble with the both of them is rvn is injury prone, has not played for a while, and will lack match fitness. and we have enough of them at liverpool allready, still i have said beforethat i would not take a ex manc, but for little money that he would cost, ive changed my mind.better than kuyt , forlan is not a bad player but he,s 30 now and there asking 15mil too much 8mil max. he still likes heskey too, i think someone will come in but who? anyones guess….

no torres tomorrow, so that makes it harder allready. but with a little luck, and a team playing well we should get somethink…

hopefully yeah
i know we cant always relie on just 1 person but ffs torres hurry up mate we miss ya
