Blueshite cup replay

[gav003]

The lads will be getting back focused on the blushite from this morning in training etc. Think we'll actually be helped with them playing at home and fancy us for a 2 goal win.

[windhover]

all going well. Is this one one the box lads?

2-0 Liverpool

[zamaguire]

God knows what Rafas thinking on this will be now after sunday. He might gamble on getting through with a weakened team.

[carpe diem]

will it be played? 19 games called off tonight.

[kingkenny07]

Hope is is not called off, would be great to shut them up and finish off their season!

[semifortorres]

God knows what Rafas thinking on this will be now after sunday. He might gamble on getting through with a weakened team.

Hopefully he does. Keep Torres & Gerrard safe'n'warm on the bench. Wouldn't be the end of the world being knocked out. Much bigger games coming up .........

[fermoyred80]

Hope it aint called off, but can the bitters afford undersoil heating

[MutantNinjaSkrtel]

**** that-we'll win it for the 96-put out our best team.not like torres is wrecked having only played a handful of games and gerrards flying so why change it?


Alot more confident about this one than our previous 2 encounters-they'll have to come out to play and we're off the back of a great result.3-1.

[BretHart]

Very confident of the win,
I don't agree with getting knocked out somehow helping us, 20 years after Hillsborough? Also getting knocked out to Everton....not my cup of tea tbh!

[redabbey]

Hope it aint called off, but can the bitters afford undersoil heating

I just checked the weather forecast for Liverpool for tomorrow night. I would fully expect this match to be played.

[GaryMc]

hmmmmm.... I think Lucas, Babel, Dossena, Hyppia and Benayoun will start.

Reina, Arbeloa, Carra, Hyppia, Dossena, Benayoun, Lucas, Masherano, Babel, Gerrard and Torres.

Rafa will not want to lose this one, esp after some of the guff from both camps after the first match.

[Gerry]

seen this on another site not sure where it is from - gollum has some neck

Liverpool are fakers, says Moyes


David Moyes: "When you get players lying on the floor and waving their hands suggesting cards and the referee is missing challenges, it's very hard."


David Moyes has raised the temperature on his side's second FA encounter with Liverpool even higher by accusing Everton's Merseyside neighbours of feigning injury and attempting to get his own players booked.

Moyes - still smarting from the Goodison league encounter in October 2007 in which Mark Clattenburg dismissed Tony Hibbert, seemingly after a word from Steven Gerrard, as well as Phil Neville, but allowed Jamie Carragher to escape with a foul in his own area - spoke plainly.

“I think Liverpool have had an awful lot going for them,” Moyes said. “We are whole-hearted but when you get players lying on the floor and waving their hands suggesting cards and the referee is missing challenges, it's very hard.”

Moyes, who has the Manchester City loan striker Jo at his disposal tonight, remains insistent that Everton should have been awarded a penalty five minutes into the Anfield tie after Steven Pienaar seemed to have his heels clipped by Alvaro Arbeloa.

“Would it be a penalty for Liverpool in front of The Kop?” Moyes asked, after the game and he added yesterday: “There are moments in games when you think it could have gone for you but it doesn't.”

have heard anicibe (bad spelling) is out for tomight after having a fall out with that ginger twat

hope we twat them horrible bitter *******s

Everton wives run for your lives !

[carpe diem]

god ya,all they wives will be huddled together down mrs moyes bomb shelter tonight when we prevail,david has developed a major inferiority complex hasnt he.

[Liverpool-law]

Everyone knows our striker situation and if any team would like to see Torres get injured apart from the scum it's the bitters. I wouldn't leave him near the pitch tonight, they'll kick the legs off him. Put Kuyt and Babel up front. Give Carra a rest too and play Hyppia and Agger.

[Meijer the trier]

Give Carra a rest too and play Hyppia and Agger.

If Benitez told Carra he was dropping him for a Derby he better be wearing a helmet cos Carra would deck him. Carra doesnt need a rest, he didnt exactly have to do a whole lot last Sunday did he?

[Liverpool-law]

I just think Agger hasn't gotten many games and we're not in the Carling Cup so if he's ever going to play it's in the FA Cup

[pdesmond1404]

Anyone know if N'gog is fit? He must surely be in the reckoning for a game like this

[DalglishN]

Not 100% on the gambling side of thing Boyles have Torres to score first and Liverpool to win 2-0 for a €10 you win €240. Not a bad bet in my eyes

Pretty poor. Terry Rogers had the same bet at 40/1 so you;d win 400 for 10eur

[kaka2001]

Work has been painfully slow today, looking forward to this game. Hope its not an anti climax - should be more open as Everton are at home

Shame it is on ITV!

[Bren100]

This turns out to be a very dangerous game for Rafa. The general opinion among fans is one of 'Robbie didnt get enough time' and 'We didnt sign anyone in January to replace him'.

If we lose this one, I think there will be more calling for Rafa's job. Much as Im flighting it, I for one am starting to fall into that pit as each week passes ... its drama after drama, Im waiting for someone to que the

Pick you team wisely on this evening Mr Benitez.

Put a fiver on 3-0 myself. I have a really good feeling on that score.... 20 to 1

Torres with two and Gerrard with 1 (not in the bet, my thoughts!)

Cmon the Reds!

[stiffler]

Na lad, off the gaaboard.com.....fair good liverpool thread on it for team news etc

[BretHart]

hahaha, sockrobbers, is this true about people bringing in socks, it would be hilarious.

****ing hopefully!seen it on RAWK-would be class:D


Cant go to nevadas for this btw rich:(

[JMurray#8]

I know its the fa cup and Rafa seems to change the team up a bit but ffs Lucas? hope he proves me wrong but in a derby game I just don't think he can cut it... Put Mascherano in with Alonso and win the battle for control of the midfield, just don't see anything Lucas can offer, attacking or defending:confused:

[GaryMc]

Lucas to score:cool:

[JMurray#8]

Lucas to score:cool:

I'd gladly eat me words if he scores the winner but I just don't see it happening I just see him as a weak link in the team and I know he's young and has potenial bla bla bla but just I don't think he's right for a derby game. Once again I hope I'm wrong but just my opinion:cool:

[kaka2001]

Lucas to score:cool:

If Lucas scores I will eat my hat!

I would be shocked if he gets 7 out of 10 rating

[JMurray#8]

Sh*t Yossi on for Stevie! Hope it's just a precaution but not great...Didn't look in too much pain but still not a good sign that he's had to go off this early.

[Captain_Morgan]

Sh*t Yossi on for Stevie! Hope it's just a precaution but not great...Didn't look in too much pain but still not a good sign that he's had to go off this early.

looked like his left hammer

[Bren100]

Whats up with that Belgium lads head? He must be the hight of Croucher with that head. He reminds me of the bloke in the "Its like that - Run DMC" video whos big mop falls off.

Infact Im willing to bet money if Soul Glow goes up for a header that wig will fall off just like the Run DMC video!

[JMurray#8]

Word is Gerrard tweeked his hamstring, how long could that keep him out? maybe he'll be fit for staurday's trip to Pompy but I can't see it being a long term problem... hopefully

[Fowler's God]

The news from Goodison Park is that Steven Gerrard felt a twinge in his hamstring, which suggests it might not be too serious.

[Bren100]

Hammers are never good ...

[GaryMc]

What a scrappy game. Just what the bitters want.

Fellini is their weak link. Dossena has got in some good positions but crossing and control has let him down.

[carpe diem]

looks like everton watched a re-run of ufc94 instead of liverpool vs chelsea in their pre-match video session.

[Fowler-9-]

Hammers are never good ...

Hope their good on sunday

[D7Hooper]

Fairly shit from both sides, Dossena has the touch of a rapist. Hope Stevie's ian jury isn't too serious.

[kaka2001]

Evertons final ball is so much more dangerours, we are criminally wasteful in good positions.

Don't agree that Fellini is their weak link, hes a good player and v dangerous in the air.

[south]

Hope their good on sunday

saturday

[MrsPepe]

lmfao socks on the pitch:):):):):):):)

[muller]

whats the story with the socks?

[whackball]

Lucas is pure poision.....he must have got that Brazilian passport in a lucky bag. I would love to see that stats on how many fouls he commits in a single match.

[MrsPepe]

whats the story with the socks?

bitters move to kirkby-kirkby people known as sock stealers:):):):)(i dont know why) but it was planned:)

[carpe diem]

come on,get the babel on and inject some pace on the wing.

[JMurray#8]

Is Dosenna playing for everton? Every one of his crosses resemble more of a defensive clearance for everton. When you see the balls Aurelio puts in from the left there is no comparision!

[muller]

bitters move to kirkby-kirkby people known as sock stealers:):):):)(i dont know why) but it was planned:)

definately going to win it now,feel it in the bones,silly boy lucas.

[eegorbishcan]

he was talkin bout the hammers mate..

[whackball]

sry....my mistake

[JMurray#8]

Good news liverpool's star player and fans favorite just got a red card!:rolleyes:

[eegorbishcan]

when will rafa realise that he's useless.. I mean im all for a player with workrate but how many times can a player foul in the one game?

[south]

he was talkin bout the hammers mate..

and here's me thinking he was on about his hamstring :rolleyes:

[eegorbishcan]

sry....my mistake

Don't worry bout it wacker, we all make mistakes... even brazillian genius'

[JMurray#8]

I said it before the game when I saw Lucas in the starting line up, he is not cut out for derby games or and big games for that fact. A championship player playing in a premiership title chasing team!

[eegorbishcan]

but why play lucas in every derby instead of masch, im not a huge fan of a holding player but surely if there was ever a need for it its in a derby.. And masch has to be our first choice holding player.. I give up, i wonder is it part of rafa's thoughts on the bitters as a small team?

[GaryMc]

Lucas is some tart. He is a liability. He gave away a stupid foul on edge of the box in first half.

Its going to penos. I would take Nando off and put on Babel.

[carramagic]

It's a joke how much we have had to put up with this Lucas fella. Cost us the points v Wigan. Could really cost us tonight. Jay spearing deserves a chance or play Agger in midfield - god knows he has the physical stature and composure on the ball for it

[Anthony_1892]

no golden goal ???

or if a score draw , away goals

havnt a fooking clue how it works these days

[General]

Lucas again the clumsy pr**k. Thiught he was doing ok and his first booking was a joke but what a muppet to get sent off!!! Nando just doesn't look himself. Would take penos now!!!

[JMurray#8]

Torres looks knackered, maybe should put on Babel for a bit more pace and an out ball. Another 90 minutes for Torres can't be bad for his fitness but he's looking really tired at the moment...

[Anthony_1892]

torres will score at last min :)

[JMurray#8]

I always thought Agger as a holding midfielder would be a great place for him, he likes the ball at his feet and he's a great passer of the ball...

[Anthony_1892]

reinas the shit :)

[Phil!]

Great Double save by Pepe!!

Skrtel Dossena and Arbeloa have been solid today

Torres hasnt got into it at all

And Finally..............

Lucas is a ridiculous person!

[Phil!]

Babel with a chance up front finally

Come on Ryan prove a point!!!!

[Skerries Road]

Lucas - Muck
Benayoun - Muck
Kuyt - Muck
Riera - Muck
Dossena - Muck
Arbeloa - Muck

Hopefully Jagielka remembers to take Torres out of his pocket for the Portsmouth game.

[Gray72]

Two days after the transfer dealine passes and our frailities are for all to see on ITV. An unfit Torres plodding around the park, an injured Gerrard leaving injured, another poor performance by Reira and Benayoun not getting with the pace. And what have we to look forward to? The arrival of the lethal Babel!

When will Rafa ever get it? To sell Keane and give the impression that Keane just didn't fit in is laughable. To let him go and leave us short in attacking options is ridiculous. We have shown absolutely nothing going forward again tonight. Too many of his players are just not conributing and just why is that?

But for a dodgey referee decision and 2 mad moments it would have been another draw. We just don't seem to be on it at all. I am so disappointed by tonights performance yet again. Just need to sit back and watch them get the winner now!!

From a set piece?

[JMurray#8]

Lucas - Muck
Benayoun - Muck
Kuyt - Muck
Riera - Muck
Dossena - Muck
Arbeloa - Muck

Hopefully Jagielka remembers to take Torres out of his pocket for the Portsmouth game.

Have to agree with you about Lucas and Dossena but Riera has done well this season, Kuyt and Benayoun (although I'm not there biggest fan) have done alright and Arbeloa is a good full back and realiable. I don't see too much difference between him and Finnan.

[vodkacolly]

Babel to net the winner so we can finally close the Robbie thread.

[carramagic]

Lucas - Muck
Benayoun - Muck
Kuyt - Muck
Riera - Muck
Dossena - Muck
Arbeloa - Muck


Bit OTT there
Arbeloa is our most improved player this year. Riera has been hot and cold this season and Benni's a good squad player - not a regular starter

[Fowler-9-]

Taut Lucas was playing quite well, never a yellow for first, had to commit for second cos Skottles was caught out. Dossenna is doing quite well also.

[Phil!]

Lucas - Muck
Benayoun - Muck
Kuyt - Muck
Riera - Muck
Dossena - Muck
Arbeloa - Muck

Hopefully Jagielka remembers to take Torres out of his pocket for the Portsmouth game.

I agree about Lucas but Arbeloa is solid in right back rarely puts a foot wrong and Kuyt is the hardest working player we have Dossena is improving at a massive rate in the last few weeks Benayoun is a squad player and gives us a great attackin option and Riera has been a great signing has a few bad games but is generally very effective

[south]

jesus i wonder will we have any squad left to play on saturday the way some people are talking.

[JMurray#8]

The most fowled player in England has to be Xabi Alonso:D

[Skerries Road]

My post was in relation to tonights game. Hence it not being in the general discussion thread??!!

[Fowler-9-]

Refs as inconsistent as our summer. Fairclough is doing me head in...'bit harsh'

only cup. week off in two weeks

[Phil!]

Fcukin B*ll*cks!!!!!!!!!!!:mad::mad::mad:

[General]

Babel is a useless lazy fcuking c**t. Every player busting themselves to get to penos and Babel standing like a statue. Disgrace to the shirt!!!

[Anthony_1892]

still a fooking poor team

there acting like they'll win it

you wont ye blueshite

[Phil!]

I hate losing to Everton ther is nothin F**kin worse!!

At least its just the cup keep motoring on for the league! But losing to Everton f**kin hurts thats no doubt!

well there goes the cup for this season.

And so you have it!!!!!!

Exactly. I'm not hurtin too much tbh. Considering Stevie went off, we played no worse than the previous 2 derbies and if anyone tries to blame Rafa for this defeat they can fookoff.
Just hope the skipper is alright.

[Skerries Road]

I can say it because I'm confident neither competition will be won.

[carramagic]

That was the Arbeloa of last season for the goal - challenging his own centre halves in the air and then being out of position when the ball fell. More pressure on Rafa. Was his decision to constantly keep faith with useless Lucas. Rafa would probably say that if he had been allowed sign Barry we wouldn't have needed to use him so much

[GaryMc]

Another season without a trophy.

Arbeloa ball watching for the goal.

Wise up, if we finished 20 points behind united and won the cup, it would a poor season. Challenge them c*nts to May and it will be progress. Tonight was not the teams night. Once Gerrard went off, it was left to Torres. All the games caught up on him. Lucas the liability then swung it in Everton. Even if it was 11 V 11 it could have gone either way. I was far more sickened by the late equalise in the league.

Great display from Carragher tonight. He should not have been on losing side.

[Phil!]

I can say it because I'm confident neither competition will be won.

Well it wont be won with people like you being so negative

How about you support your f**kin team!!

[Shels-07]

Shocking football tonite............ What next... A disgrace of a performance.... Rafa you might be in BIG trouble now.

what game were you watching or did you just finish a game of pes or fifa?

not too bothered really.only ourselves to blame again.would have liked the peno's.lots of liverpool fans gave out blue murder about robbie keane for all his moaning.we'll torres was just as bad 2nite and he did exactly the same at goodision earlier in the season.spent more time on the deck and complaining.:mad:

Barring the foul on the endline he done nothing wrong, had to make the second foul and first was never a yellow. He got in hard won balls in the air against Fellaini and passing was good. Typical, need a scapegoat, if it wasn't Lucas it would be Dossenna or Kuyt.

[gav003]

Shame to bow out the way we did (losing the Captain as well)- and that we couldn't play better in the anniversary year. sickening way to loose. was in work listening and just gutted.

It was me giving my opinion on the performance of those players up to that point. Obvious, no?

[trucker]

Right gona try be positive, hopefully we'll get 3 points saturday although it'll be without lucas alonso and gerrard so masch and plessis in the middle and its unlikely Torres will play IMO, and then we've a 2 week break which judging by tonight we need, all players should be pulled from the internationals next week and hopefully we'll concentrate on the major trophys now, good night lads

[kingofthekop]

the one positive to come outta this is that lucas will now miss a premiership game

no scapegoat mate. we played poor tonight as a team. didnt have to make the second foul imo, its not like lescott was going to score.

[Fowler's God]

Bit OTT comments being displayed....knee-jerk reactions...disappointing yes but not the end of the world IMO...

More disappointed that we didn't progress due to the 20th annisversary of Hillsborough this year.

Could be a blessing in disguise that we went out 2nite...

Once we went down to ten men it was going to be difficult...

[Beglin's Peg]

It's only the cup, would have preferred to lose in 90 minutes rather than have to go the extra 30 minutes.

What did Bemitez do wrong this time? Play Lucas? The XI out there should have won the game

[D-Red]

It was me giving my opinion on the performance of those players up to that point. Obvious, no?

We had 10 men on the pitch at that stage and were down a captain and fighting to stay in the Cup, And you chose that moment to call 6 of our remaining players "Muck".

One thing is certainly obvious....

But I'd probably get banned for saying it.

So I'll say nothing more.

[TartanRed]

It's only the cup, would have preferred to lose in 90 minutes rather than have to go the extra 30 minutes.


Is this actually a liverpool site?? **** me!

[Phil!]

We need to go and get 3 points against a poor Pompey side!! Players and Fans alike need to pick ourselves up from tonight and batter Pompey on Saturday!! Losing to the Blueshite is horrible so we should take it out on Pompey in the next game!! Then we have a break and we can come back refreshed and continue our title challenge!

Disapointing result but YNWA Redmen!!!!!

[Fowler's God]

They should have but being honest Everton deserved to win judging on the nites game...its their moment as one of the lads said in the last ten years...

[kingofthekop]

Did any1 notice that rafa kept switchin kuyt and beni every 5 mins. No continuity and again no result. Bringin babel on that late is shockin. he shoulda been on for kuyt or lucas earlier

Sorry, I obviously dont know much bout Liverpool. I didnt realise tonight was meant to be a tribute:rolleyes:

How about if we win the league? Will that be ok?:confused:

Fookin tribute? You must be fishin pal.

[Beglin's Peg]

Is this actually a liverpool site?? **** me!

I'm more concerned with Saturday. I'd rather have our players fresh for that. I think the league is slightly more important.

[MrsPepe]

say goodnight lads, head up for saturday:):):):):)

[Fowler-9-]

no scapegoat mate. we played poor tonight as a team. didnt have to make the second foul imo, its not like lescott was going to score.

Lescott could have played a ball through and I was calling for a foul to be made as they were breaking fast. I feel Lucas probably shouldn't have made the foul but been in the heat of the moment with them on the break it's understandable.

[kingofkop]

!! glory hunting fan!! :mad:

like whats your bleedin problem and what are you going mad for that another fan wants to see some trophies come to anfeild thats why i hate this bleedin site you cant give the liverpool team any sort of stick and youll a few replies sayin get behind the team i am behind the team but lucas is shit i wouldin let him play football with my dog does benitez forget that he bought kuyt as a striker the lad couldnt hit a cows arse with a shovel so he sticks him on the wing his cross never gets past the first man dossena well no wonder he only has one cap for italy enough is enough its time to realise that without gerrard liverpool are f**ked and with the games we have coming up against portmouth and teams that are just going to sit deep times are starting to look bleak

[D-Red]

They should have but being honest Everton deserved to win judging on the nites game...its their moment as one of the lads said in the last ten years...

I bet they'll have the New DVD out by lunch-time tomorrow, knowing them!

[CrazyHorse]

Rafa nor the team can really be held accountable tonight I feel...

I say that lightly as Im sure there's gonna be some crazy posts about this game.

We were dominant till Lucas was sent off... the 1st yellow should never have been..

Its poxy we're out of the cup, especially to the blue shite, and more especially since its 20 years after the Hillsboro disaster...

:(

But we move on..

Hoping Stevie G's injury isn't too bad, and hopefully Torres is ok, he looked a bit ****ed near the end of the game..

Pompey on the weekend is purely a "Must Win" game right now.

:confused::confused::confused:

Its a sickening result, but hardly Rafa's fault. Masherano was as likely to get sent off tonight. It was one of them nights were tackles are flying and two yellows was always on the cards. The sending turned it in their favour.

Rafa put out 9 of his best 11 out. He lost the captain after 15 minutes and the star striker did not get a sniff at the Everton backline marked him out of it and he looked fuked. Everton played well and a lot of Liverpool fans forget that their two teams in every match. The teams could not be seperated until the sending off and that was the turning point. The bitters kept knocking on the door and got a lucky break.

[Skerries Road]

Ah here, you do understand the concept of an opinion based forum.

As I saw it, regardless of who was on or off the pitch, the players I highlighted were "muck".

I'm all ears if you can put forward an argument to convince me otherwise.

[D7Hooper]

Fu*king gutted, a window into what we have to look forward to. Nando still not fit and it shows, Kuyt doing his usual huff and puff and getting nowhere, Lucas giving away cheap possesion and free kicks and to top it off we get the almightily F*cking talentless, lazy dutch cnut who wouldn't break a sweat in a sauna. Babel f*ck off you useless *******. Cant stand losing to those bluenose cnuts thankfully it's a rarity.

Some of the comments about Babel here are fairly damning and overly stupid.

He came on and did well for a team down to ten men, I seen more encouragement in his attitude tonight that I have seen all season. Battled away up top against 3 defenders...

[corkred]

The only good news can take out off tonight is that Lucas gets a suspension and will not be available for selection in at least one game. Pity it wasn't a straight red and be gone for three games. Brazilian my arse.

[RedMurph08]

Agree. Torres was poor all night and wrecked by the time he came off. Babel fought hard any chance he got. Glad to see him play his prefered position, pity he didnt come on earlier.

Think he didnt come on earlier just because of the fact Torres grabbed those late 2 on Sunday and scorers are scorers but he was clearly running on empty.
As was said before Babel did seem more interested tonight.

[kingofthekop]

im just pissed off at the time of the goal , if it was at 100 mins least gives u the 20 to try get equal but with 2 mins ffs

true mate but what can you do. at least rafa can concentrate on the league now. he'll probably say that that was his intention all along:rolleyes:

[whackball]

I know we lost Stevie early on and that ladyboy was sent off but we beat the Mancs without Nando and Stevie for the most part of that game earlier in the season as well as a lot of other teams, so watching terrible football from our team in games that we are good enough to win just depresses me...

I blame setanta sports as we never f**king win when on that station. Apart from Sunderland and Middlesborough I can`t remember another game. Manc, Chealski (twice) Arsenal, Newcastle, Everton (Goodison, league) all on Sky...

Spurs (lose), Stoke, Hull, Fulham etc etc all on setanta..the c**ts....

I Know some say it is just the cup but to be honest its a good cup to win and what it means to the fans, am real pissed off at going out tonight.

Think everton wherent great and they where there for the taken and yet we couldnt get any real chances on goal.
Another cup gone, another wrong team picked and maybe a few more injuries to throw in there to, it is very hard to keep the faith in rafa at the mo.

Our support was unreal tonight, how many times did the camera highlight it during the game,6000 outsung 34000 no problem.

Not once tho did i hear the rafa benitez song , strange.

Played in his more familiar position tonight will give him some confidence, have to say IMO he showed signs of a change in attitude..

Rafa for Klinnsmann?

[Phil!]

Agree.

He knows he is going to get more oppurtunity in his natural position if Babel gets a couple of appearences (even as a sub) in striker his confidence will grow and he will get back to the way he was for Holland in the U.21 Euros and show us why Benitez signed him!

Not losin faith in Babel comin good yet!

[redspider]

I think we need to take some positives from this game and result. Okay, without Stevie and Torres both on the pitch and firing and without Masch on from the start, we are a much weaker team. The fact that Everton couldnt do much though and had to rely on a deflected goal at the death says it all about them.

The silver lining for me is that we are out of the FA Cup. That will allow us to concentrate on the League and the CL, no distractions or wasted efforts.

The bad points: the injuries. Lets hope Gerrard was taken off early for precaution. Torres, I missed that part but lets hope he recovers. I thought that Torres was very bright and he clearly missed Stevie when he went off, we all know that would happen anyway.

I thought Riera could have done more with his capability. If he had the mental attitude of Yossi or Kuyt, he would produce more. Kuyt, we all know about. This is not a type of game where he shines. Babel, he's just looking for goals for himself. He can do a job as an impact sub against a team with a weaker defence. And maybe against European opposition where he is more energy than skill. At the moment,m he is not developing his game.

As for Lucas, more naive than dirty. But why did Rafa play him in the first place. I will say it again, Spearing is a better player, better. Lucas just hasnt developed from his U18 days, especially in the english league. Who knows, he may sparkle in the Spanish league. Rafa should offload him in the summer.

I'd also like to see El Zhar given more run-outs. He may be similar to what Sinama-Pongolle was but like him, he wont develop unless he gets some regular game time.

Okay, so we are out of the FA Cup, but its not the end of the world, far from it, it should in fact give us more chances in the other competitions.

Roll on ..... and Walk On!

Comments on Babel well deserved imo. Twice Xabi looked up for an out ball and the lazy pr**k was standing still. Didn't even make a run so he could hoof it into the corner. How long was he on the pitch? Other players with over 100 mins hard work done still going as hard as they could and Babel was walking most of the time he was on the pitch. Walking!!!!

I'm disgusted with his attitude!!! Give me Kuyt any day-very limited but at least he's giving his all-same cannot be said for Babel. Waste of space!!!! Felt sorry for the rest of them Some didn't play well but they all gave 100%. A

Torres attitude tonight was baffling. Keane at least would try tackle and run. Torres tonight after scoring two on Sunday was looking like a player that just didn't want to be playing. Every time tackled (fairly) went down. We need fight in this squad to win things not ****ing pussys. Either he is not match fit or has an attitude from last season thinking things come easy in premiership. FERNANDO YOU HAVE TO EARN IT.

[Fowler-9-]

Which begs the question. Reina Arbeloa Carra Skrtel Aurelio Kuyt Mascherano Alonso Gerrard Riera Torres, Keep them sell the rest.

Why have a squad at all. We go top of the league saturday evening yet your losing faith in Rafa Give me a fcukin break FFS.

[dantheman23]

fook em, they'll be knocked out next round anyway,

funny old game tonight, lucas was doin ok til he got d road, ok not great but looked neat and tidy but not much cutting edge but he's playing to his capabilities. the first yellow was for nothing.
if i were an everton fan :eek: i'd be askin myself why they dont put in that effort every week ( bitter twisted cnuts)

anyway more important than them anyone know what the story is with stevie?

[GaryMc]

I heard the clowns on SSN saying that Fergie will be delighted Liverpool slipped up.

He will be raging, he would rather see us have a really difficult tie against Villa. Instead the players will have a rest after the internationals.

Definitely.
Was half expecting Rafa to push Dirk up front and stick Ryan wide though. Glad he didnt.
If Babel is goin to be with us for a few years, the sooner he gets plenty of match time up front the better. Forget Dirk and Ngog, Babel should be no2 striker at the moment.

Its a free world to say what you want mate, what i said is my own personal opinion.

Why change a winning team from sunday is what i dont like.
Loosing faith in rafa as we where top of the league and now playing catch up and with events gone on during the week.
End of the day each person has there own say and opinion on our performance etc.

Are you actually trying to compare Keane to Torres?

Yeah I think so mate, he just got a 1 game ban as far as I know, so just miss the City match

[Gray72]

Why do people get so narky on here if people dare voice their opinion on what was another poor team and management performance? It is not a personal attack on any individual or on the club. Surely we all wanyt what is best for the club and the goings on over the past 6 weeks have given us many topics to discuss. Now whether you like it or not it has affected performances on the pitch. The Keane topic will be discussed vigorously for years to come! The facts tonight are we were poor even before the sending off. The lack of energy up front will bring up the Keane topic again. It's all to be discussed surely? Why do some get so touchy?

[beardo81]

nando looks still a yard or 2 off, maybe he needs to shed an lb or 2, he should be knocking the balll past them lads with ease...
otherwise lads lets pull together, theres no "I" in team!! ;)
cmon you reds!!!! :) :)

[kingofthekop]

Cant wait for insua to come back. hes a tidy left full. dossena busted a gut tonight tho so credit to him. if he can get his crosses sorted he'll do ok. could lose a stone too imo

[Fowler's God]

He is available...

Some tribute for the 96 that. Thank you Mr. Benitez.

One of the worst posts I've ever read. Absolute disgrace.

[windhover]

We were not up to scratch tonight and didn't deserve to through, if not alone for finishing them off in Anfield when we were on top.
Proved againt that we have no belly going forward without stevie. I was hoping that Alonso would step up but was greatly let down. Someone needs to teach Lucus how to tackle. Leaving his leg in has cost us enough allready.

On that note leave the bitters their day because it ends there for the season.

[Niall]

He is available...

Cheers phew.

[MutantNinjaSkrtel]

We lost our captain after 15 mins,we had a man sent off,Torres was absolutely wrecked,had little impact and had to come off.The bitters smelt blood and went for their best night in over a decade.Shit happens.Get over it-better lose in the cup than the league.

Positives-Gerrard injury doesn't look too bad,Dossena's improving,Tim Cahill got pelted with a sock,we have more time to rest for the BIG games,Ryan Babel looks like he will get more time in his preferred striker role where he won't sulk and has the ability to become world class,Everton's celebrations showed yet again the gulf in class and stature between the 2 clubs.Tesco will probably have a DVD of it tomorrow-Let them have their moment in the sun-we have eyes only for the big one this year.

Dossena's improving


to be fair he defended well tonight, crossing needs a bit of work tho

[corkred]

He's obviously not fit,

Keane is gone mate let it go and move on

Or was it that confidence dropped after Gerrard went off knowing Lucas not going to create much. Have we only two match winners in our whole squad.
Torres/Gerrard. This needs to change. Alonso needs to score more from his own half.

Personally I'm tired of Robbie being mentioned in every thread. The Keane topic will not be discussed for years. He came, he didnt perform, he went, hes gone, build a bridge, get over it, hes not coming back, if you love him you will let him go...

[kaka2001]

Back to reality after the Chelsea game, glad I didnt get carried away with that result
Points to note

Lucas is inexcusable he will never ever make the grade, please stop calling him a Brazilian international it is meaningless.

Our set pieces are inexcusable

Our final delivery is inexcusable

We do nothing with so much possession. When Everton took the initiative after we went to 10 men they looked so dangerous. we mustard up nothing in 90 minutes

The book stops at Rafa - another shocking performance. At this stage I just cant see where we are going

Bring on the anti Liverpool abuse but this is my honest opinion of how things stand. Maybe Rafa is too close to see the problems but they are so glaringly obvious to me

[dantheman23]

[MutantNinjaSkrtel]

Strangely enough when he first arrived I thought he was quite good at crossing-just shite positioning.Tonight was the other way round.Particularly in the first half i thought he showed a lot of enthusiasm,power and pace when bursting forward.Linked well with Riera imo.Crossing wasn't as good as it could have been but at least he seems to have improved (significantly) defensively.Also made a crucial slide tackle in the 2nd half which went unnoticed-the blueshite had us outnumbered on the counter.

[Niall]

[Fowler-9-]

Torres/Gerrard. This needs to change. Alonso needs to score more from his own half.

Babel Riera Beayoun Kuyt have all scored winners, It wasn't Lucas who pushed on to Gerrards role it was Kuyt mate.

If Torres lost confidence cos Gerrard went off, i would seriously doubt his credentials as a top class footballer and I will eat my toes, he's just not fit.

Strangely enough when he first arrived I thought he was quite good at crossing-just shite positioning.Tonight was the other way round.Particularly in the first half i thought he showed a lot of enthusiasm,power and pace when bursting forward.Linked well with Riera imo.Crossing wasn't as good as it could have been but at least he seems to have improved (significantly) defensively.Also made a crucial slide tackle in the 2nd half which went unnoticed-the blueshite had us outnumbered on the counter.

i never seen him before he signed but italy usually dont have poor full backs in their national team.to be honest his first few games were shocking and i thought he was another poor full back we had signed but theres hope yet i'd say. still looking forward to insua coming back.
anybody know when that is by the way?

your man baines must be black and blue from all the socks!:D
sock robbers... brilliant

i heard he's coming back in the summer:D

PMSL:D:D:D

Personally I'm tired of Robbie being mentioned in every thread. The Keane topic will not be discussed for years. He came, he didnt perform, he went, hes gone, build a bridge, get over it, hes not coming back, if you love him you will let him go...

This is the 3rd defeat we have suffered since I joined this site. Sometimes like the Spurs league defeat, you just have to take it on the chin and move on.My take on tonight is quite similar. They were never gonna score against 11 men. The whining on here is very gay.

The Lucas bashing tonight is way over the top. He was decent enough 1st half, got a ridiculas 1st yellow and was left exposed and made an inexperienced discision on the 2nd yellow.

Same with Babel, thats the 1st time in months he has actually tried and he gets slated for it.

Still it will all be forgotten come saturday night if we are top of the league.

Good point but it was the double.
Better still. If you can win the double with a shit team, why cant we? Why so negative?

Ask any Blackburn Rovers supporter. Even an ex Galway Utd manager in Kenna has a premiership medal.

Very good post.

Some of the unjust whining on here is simply incredible:rolleyes:

Lucas isn't everyones cup of tea but you have to admit his first yellow was so harsh-should nevver have been.It was just wiley levelling the playing field having already booked so many bitters.The 2nd foul was a situation where I'd normally be screaming for our player to pull them down and take the yellow(like we needed during walcotts run in cl last year).If he hadn't already been booked it would've been a very good card to concede.We needed someone to 'take one for the team' because they had numbers and momentum on the break and we were caught out.

Agree on the Babel point too.Someone on here said he didn't try at all tonight?Yes he ****ing well did-he was excellent controlling balls on his chest while holding off 2 defenders.Stop talking out yer arse.

Because they were the best team in the league / cup competition, unfortunately for us, LFC aren't.

As regards being negative, its hard watching LFC falter and throw away their best chance to win the division, in a season where their main rivals for the league have been so poor compared to the last couple of years.

[kaka2001]

We lost our captain after 15 mins,we had a man sent off,Torres was absolutely wrecked,had little impact and had to come off.The bitters smelt blood and went for their best night in over a decade.Shit happens.Get over it-better lose in the cup than the league.

Positives-Gerrard injury doesn't look too bad,Dossena's improving,Tim Cahill got pelted with a sock,we have more time to rest for the BIG games,Ryan Babel looks like he will get more time in his preferred striker role where he won't sulk and has the ability to become world class,Everton's celebrations showed yet again the gulf in class and stature between the 2 clubs.Tesco will probably have a DVD of it tomorrow-Let them have their moment in the sun-we have eyes only for the big one this year.


Pity we never seem to do that. With the gulf in class and their injury list we should be able to do better (same can be said of most of our performances this season)

Tonight wasnt the league yet you come on and say we wont win any trophies this season. I know its your opinion and your entitled to it, but if we get 40000 non believers every Saturday we dont stand a chance.

We are good enough to beat the 16 other teams in the league every time, so IMO we have a great chance.

I'm saying that because after squandering the lead LFC had, I felt the FA cup was a realistic chance at silverware.

However, Utd have a tough away game on Sunday so who knows what way the table will shape up come 1800hrs this Sunday.

Did anyone watch this on UTV last night. The commentator ( I think it was Clive Tyldesley) spent all night wishing an injury on Torres, just so he could keep mentioning the lack of strikers Liverpool have. Nearly threw the TV out the window when for the 10th time he either said "Torres seems to be limping" or "Torres seems to be struggling"!!!!!

As for Beglin taking the mickey out of Rafa and his signals... Well Jim, if you ever care to leave your cushy job going to games and giving us your insightful analysis and take up a top managerial job, then manage to win a Champions League, FA Cup, UEFA Cup and league titles, then maybe you can take the mickey out of Rafa, but till then shut the f**k up !!!!!

I was watching it on UTV, better commentators as Jim Beglin gives an honest opinion. At one stage in Extra time the channel loses it's connection..I switch straight to Setanta & Everton score...Absolutely sickened! Switched back to UTV & they were apologising toeveryone for missing the goal!


Anyone who said Babel was poor when he came on last night is as Ninja says is talkin out of there arse. If Babel was half as arsed in most games we'd be seeing alot more of him. Hopefully Keane going will be the kick in the back-side he needed.

Thought Dossena had a good game - if he get's the final ball right offers alot going forward in comparison to Arbeloa. He got caught badly for the goal as well. Thought Carra & Skretel especially were savage last night. Didn't deserve that deflection & to lose like that.

Id a feelin Lucas would get sent off. I don't know what it was but he kept leavin the boot in. Some will say the first yellow was harsh but I don't think it was. Presistent fouling and he deserved it. The referree had a great game last night It must be said.

Id be worried about Torres. He was extremely laboured last night. Took forever to get up after challenges and Jagielka had the beating of him every time. Hopefully he will regain total fitness soon but i am worried with Spain going all the way & the injuries he has had already this season.

Felt sorry for Alonso. Gave the ball away for the goal - should have gone long to babel instead of short but he had a good game besides.

In all fairness the F.A Cup was third choice in our priorities but last night would have been a massive match to win. Especially the way things panned out with Gerrard & Lucas. But not to be & Im hopin there will be no hang-over from this on Saturday. We have to build on our win over Chelsea & no better place to start than at Pompey. We're due to win one of these Setanta 5.30 kick-off's!
