Losing 1-0 half time – Why do I get the impression its GAME OVER – Why Why Why
Coz the game is bloody over. 3-0???? Shit performance from loserpool. Surely it’s time for relegation
what an utter disappointment. the tiki was missing the taka. we really need to spend on players like ramirez and sahin to fill the gaps. so much of the ball and nothing to show dispels the possession means win myth. hope this is just a blip and not the beginning of the end. Liverpool losing 3 nil to the most a mid-table team in the first game of the season is totally unacceptable. next 3 home games are against the potential top 4. it’s scary to think what might happen. clean up our act boys and plat for Liverpool like you really mean it.
here we go same players same result go to hell jw henry …..
massive disapointment
couldnt be any worse than what just happened.
It’s ONE game. Calm yourselves. Plus, you can only have 11 on the field (10 for half of this game). Where would Sahin and Ramirez have played? I can see Sahin for any of the mids and Ramirez for Downing, but that wouldn’t have done much. Lame fans to give up on your team after one match.
we need a goal proven striker suarez isnt that sort of a striker joe cole should be offloaded too injury prone,we need to look outside the league and bring in quality…this was how we started last season with suarez the chief culprit missing too many chances yet gets himself booked for his silly attitude
though the ref wasnt lenient this was the same ref that officiated our first match of last season against sunderland in Anfield where Suarez was fouled with a goal bound effort by Richardson,Richardson was given a yellow card instead of red the situation seems similar to Daniel Agger’s but the Ref Phil Dowd showed no mercy i should hope this players can play tiki taka as the second goal and 3rd goal were due to lack of concentration BR needs to lift his player up and get in a striker ASAP
