Liverpool V Manchester City

[# 9]

The game has begun. Your predictions...?

mine is 3-2 to Liverpool

[# 9]

Agger just got concussed up lol. Kyrgiaos (spelling) gets his first home game.

i think voronin should get an opportunity.

[# 9]

and now babel off with what looks like a foot injury. benayoun comes on. not a lot of luck for Liverpool this yr. only 20mins gone and 2 forced subs made.

[BTAC]

1 all. skrtel with the first goal. 50'. Ade equalises 69'.

[# 9]

Kyrgiakos did indeed..I was extremely pissed off when Agger went off, but credit to Krygiakos, he was very good back there, despite being turned by Wright Phillips for their second goal.

Skrtel went from hero to zero in that game today
Puts us ahead with his first ever Liverpool goal, loses Adebayor for the equaliser and is no mans land for City's second. Scores one, but is at fault for both of theirs..

[BTAC]

Btw does anyone know if Aggers still alive?

[Red-4-Life]

Lucas....go away, youre nowhere neara s good as Xabi Alonso like someone from liverpool said you would be, get fucked!
Liverpool should have won, was a bit like AU last night...dominated but couldnt finish. Season....over for good! and only 13 games in

[# 9]

lucas WILL be better. he is showing signs all the time. this will be his development year and next year he will be great.

[Red-4-Life]

still think hes shit
i though Benayoun as always had an impact tonight and Skrtel was good too. Kyrgiakos i thought had a solid game in defence. having to make 2 very early subs i think hurt liverpool as well

[# 9]

i just wanna see aquilani play

[BTAC]

Lucas....go away, youre nowhere neara s good as Xabi Alonso like someone from liverpool said you would be, get shiraz!

Oh great another onethat uses Lucas as a scapegoat whenever things go wrong..
Lucas has been one of our most consistent performers this season. And he wasn't bad against City either. Granted he should have scored that header at the end, but these things happen. I'm not a huge fan of Lucas myself, but I call it as it is, and Lucas has been one of our better players this season.

Don't know about great, but he's certainly a shitload better than most 'supporters' give him credit for.

[Red-4-Life]

whats the bet Rafa was saying to Benayoun when he came off... "you f***ing saved my job"

[BTAC]

Skrtel was good too.

How so? Yes he scored, but he immediately followed that up by being at fault for both of City's goals..
The first he let Adebayor get away from him for a free header..
The second he was in no mans land while Ireland was free in the centre..Yes this could also be attributed to Mascherano/Lucas not tracking back, but Skrtel lost the ball in the first place and then ball watched from that point onwards until the ball ended up in the net..

And in general, Kuyts form has been atrocious recently..he needs to be dropped or 'given a rest' if you want to put it nicely..

[BTAC]

i just wanna see aquilani play

Likewise, think he's gonna be a great player for us. It will be interesting to see when he gets handed his first start..Seeing as he didnt get a run tonight, I doubt he'll start on Tuesday, though he could be a possibility for next weekend.

[Red-4-Life]

i agree with Kuyt.

Skrtel was alright i mean up until he screwed up in defence. I thought besides that he wasnt too bad. Given's save in the first half was great as well. Gerrard was quiet and N'gog did sweet F.A., Babel should have played through pain, we are missing Torres' presence, skill and finishing ablilities and so on. still have Johnson to come back as well as well as Aquilani to return to full fitness

Nah I thought he was rubbish.
Too far behind the attacking midfield trio.

Had his hands in maschs pockets all game, masch is that deep bcos thats his role to be the ball winning achorman. Lucas needs to provide more support when we're in possession and linkup play. One of the reasons why Gerrard couldnt get into the game 2nite was he had no one backing him up in possession most times.

But I wont fully throw the boot at him, because we'll never know if thats his instinct to be so deep or Rafa's instructions.
Either way, like the commentary (or Slater/Bosnich/Moustache guy cant remember) eluded to.....its disgusting to be so negatively structured at Anfield.....

[Red-4-Life]

who the fuck's idea was it to have no one standing on the posts on corners? cost us badly

I rkn he was good for at least a half tonight, he spent a lot of time warming up.
But Rafa's hands were tied with the injuries and Benayoun clearly no where near 100% fitness.

Damn shame, cos when the game was opening up in the 2nd half he could have made the difference......

[MG&Son]

lol liverpoo

[aufc_123]

I thought Kyrgiakos played very very well yesterday, Skrtl did okay not too bad but I can't workout how Adebayors goal no one was on the back stick.

[BTAC]

i agree with Kuyt.

Admittedly he didn't get into the game as much as he has in recent weeks, but he was rly isolated up top. Whenever the ball got up to him there was only one player even close to him..and as that player was Gerrard he was being marked by like two guys at a time
I think he did what he could up top..He won the freekick which lead to our first goal, and his deflected shot gave Benayoun a tap in..so whilst he may not have been involved as much as he/we would have liked, he certainly played his part in that tie.

Yeah thats exactly it..I've heard so many supporters going off about Rafa not bringing on Aquilani, but with only one substitution left, Benayoun clearly struggling and the game being so close, bringing on Aurelio was the right move IMO. Aurelio is a player who can do a job defensively, is tidy in possession and can provide some killer set peices and crosses. He was the best player to bring on in that situation.

[DOC]

dan agger are you ok, hows the cut ond concussion going?

[Le King]

6 mins of injury time.... fuk did pool want anymore time 2 score a goal in extra time........








jst throwin it out there
