stopping time, additional time..something like that la...

Sunderland manage to get one goal only assisted by balloon ....where is our Striker to get TWO GOALS only to secure 3 points?????

why striker cannot get goals??????..it is because our MIDFIELD dont give the ball to the striker.....

why our midfield dont give the ball to striker????? do we have MIDFIELD??????
what i saw yesterday was...Glen Johnson, Agger, that bring the ball forward....

so the conclusion = our team = sucks!

why our team sucks?? cause its the manager decision to play like that...cause it's the manager decision to choose a player....

Liverpool = Mercedes

Mercedes = can go to 180km/h
Liverpool = title contender

better change the name to 'Liverpool and Rushden' ...so we can be the average team....

ManU got determination to win a game eventhough they dont have star player...

i think this is the player that should be in Sunderland match

Argh..come on...who else that u think suitable in that position?
I think he is good...just he does not have a chance to play >80 minute....correct me if im wrong...

but im agree with 509307 that we dont have determination to win game...

come on guys...cheers a bit, respect each other...


Defiant Rafa Benitez leaps to Liverpool's defence


Rafael Benitez has defended Liverpool against accusations that they lack the necessary quality and depth to challenge for major trophies this season and the Spaniard is confident his side will recover from a poor run of form, starting with Tuesday's Champions League tie against Lyon.



Rafa Benitez is facing an important week as Liverpool boss.

While the headlines have been dominated by beach ball-related quips ever since a freak goal condemned Liverpool to a 1-0 defeat to Sunderland at the weekend, Benitez has not been able to mask the fact that his side have now lost three games in succession in all competitions.

If that run was to continue when Lyon visit Anfield on Tuesday night then as well as struggling in the league, Liverpool would be in an uncomfortable position in Europe having already lost away to Fiorentina.

Although Steven Gerrard will return from injury, Fernando Torres is still absent with an adductor problem and, with Xabi Alonso long since departed to Real Madrid, real questions have been asked of the players at Liverpool's disposal, particularly in the wake of a Sunderland defeat which saw Benitez hand a debut to young midfielder Jay Spearing.

But Benitez is adamant that he has the necessary quality to resurrect Liverpool's hopes of winning a trophy this season and has adopted an optimistic outlook ahead of Tuesday's game against Lyon and an important Premier League clash with Manchester United on Sunday.

"We have been criticised, but I am happy with the squad," Benitez said. "The vast majority of them were here last season when we won 86 points, very little has changed.

"People say we cannot play without Gerrard and Torres. I was not worried at the weekend even though we lost at Sunderland when we were without both of them, so now with one back it is even less of a problem.

"The trouble is not that we lack depth and quality. We must manage with the situation we have, which is made more difficult with several players out injured. We worked hard in the summer to keep the players we wanted, and to add to that. But the troubles have arisen because of the amount of injuries to key players.

"I have some experience in difficult situations, all managers do, but at this time we have lost four league games and people are talking about the quality, the depth of the squad. But again, like last year, the main thing is to be calm, work hard and find solutions to the problem. That is the only way in football. If you lose and don't play, you think about it for a week, ten days, but this week we have an opportunity to change everything. It can change everything for the positive.

"Last year we were talking about draws and then we got 86 points. My obligation is to be positive because I think we have more quality than we are showing now. As soon as we play well twice, hopefully this week, people will start saying maybe I am right. If we win on Sunday, we will be four points behind [United, who are top of the table] and that is not bad."

Benitez has also denied that Liverpool will ask for their game against Sunderland to be replayed after a goal was incorrectly awarded to Darren Bent when his shot hit a beach ball and deflected past Jose Reina.

hahah..yeap Rafa still the man in charge...

Rafa! please fielding your player like this

Reina
Glen-Carra-Agger-Insua
Masch
Benny-Gerrard-Reira
Voronin-Kuyt

Passing style - direct

I believe we need to kill the game early and rest the core player for ManU game...

Rafa always doing substitution >70 minute ...

still no mood after we lost to Lyon for last minute goal...and HOPING again we will win against ManU....

http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id...england&cc=4716

Soccernet prediction: Liverpool's confidence is shot, so the last game they want is against the Premier League leaders and they may suffer. Likely to be beaten in the midfield battle, a draw would represent a great result for Rafa.


Soccernet also know we dont have winning mentality...

Reina
Glen-Carra-Agger-Insua
Masch
Kuyt-Benny-Babel/??
Voronin/??
Torres

if above player play for tonight game, i believe we will have the ball every time in opponent side(attacking)
