Came so close, but you can't sit that deep and leave Gerrard free on the edge of the box.<BR/><BR/>If Pogatetz hadn't deflected that shot i think we'd have gone on to win but thats football.<BR/><BR/>Nice site.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33779660.post-15152772395400648372008-08-25T03:59:00.000-04:002008-08-25T03:59:00.000-04:003 matches, 3 sub-standard performances.

Dreadful to watch another possible draw to a mediocre side - Gerrard's strike sure lightens the gray though.<BR/><BR/>Yes, Alonso was very troubling, as were Kuyt and Benny. Keane only seemed to get in peoples way, but definite improvement. Let's hope this kick starts something in the team. Performances like this won't keep us up in the table. <BR/><BR/>-jp2Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33779660.post-74001682609597365462008-08-24T14:27:00.000-04:002008-08-24T14:27:00.000-04:00Also, there were the first signs that Keane might ...Also, there were the first signs that Keane might be a good signing.

Gerrard and Alonso(corner kicks we really bad!) were good only in patches.If the forward's and the midfield's condition is like this, no way can we have a dominant game. Flash of brilliance and little bit of lick won us the game.<BR/><BR/>I thought Babel was playing competitive games in the olympics. Seeing him play yesterday made me feel like he'd not played since out last season.<BR/><BR/>I don't know if i have this feeling alone that even a winger proper like Pennant would not have helped much yesterday. What we need is defensive stability with a DM and our fullbacks go more forward.<BR/><BR/>We played a lot of long balls to Torres, Keane and Kuyt and they could not receive most of them properly as 'Boro's defensive line had lots of tall guys. We should have played more of the short passing football yesterday. One good thru pass from Gerrard or Alonso to Torres or Keane could have made a lot of difference to the score and the confidence of the players.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33779660.post-71103221017097100632008-08-23T18:33:00.000-04:002008-08-23T18:33:00.000-04:00and stuff like that always goes in liverpools favo...and stuff like that always goes in liverpools favor<BR/><BR/>its not like they got knocked out of the champions league because of a fluke own goal coupled with added extra time<BR/><BR/>it is?<BR/>nevermindBackBergtthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01916269531937171514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33779660.post-47255276956404614842008-08-23T18:25:00.000-04:002008-08-23T18:25:00.000-04:00From the TV it looked like Wheater played Keane on...From the TV it looked like Wheater played Keane on, although Babel, who was nowhere near involved, could have been offside on the second goal.<BR/><BR/>Admittedly, Carra's was flukey, but Liverpool's had those go against them innumerable times as well. And the reason there were 4 minutes of injury time instead of 3 was because the first minute was spent with Gary O'Neil rolling around the floor wasting time.natehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10043601945557998732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33779660.post-55306523540032704172008-08-23T16:59:00.000-04:002008-08-23T16:59:00.000-04:00Liverpool's second goal looked offside.

Big three points. Huge result. <BR/><BR/>I must say, I wouldn't mind seeing Carra out on the right more often and Skrtel and Agger in the middle. Not always, but more often that never. Thoughts?<BR/><BR/>Also, when Gerrard stinks, this team has zero creativity. We really need a winger. Or Babel to mature VERy quickly.Ace Cowboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12262169314152491754noreply@blogger.com
