always remember...

with hope in your heart

we are LIVERPOOL!!

emotions and biasness off..

its not about winning or losing 1 game..
its not about there were only 2 games and the season is still long ahead..
its not about predicting the future, and living the past (last season disasters)..

its about how we played like shit..
and how deep shit we're in..

optimistic vs denial..at the bottom of our hearts we know we're in real deep shit..coz we care

yes we were without joe cole, this was the excuse i had when the match is over

but hang on a minute, didn't we played against arsenal for 45 minutes WITHOUT him?

i seriously have my doubt with 4-4-2, not gonna work with the players we have. Both CM are way too deep to have any impact in the game, which probably explain why on numerous occasion Torres have to come so deep just to get the ball.

My guess is this Masch on strike thing had happen last week before the europa league game, Roy tested 4-4-2 with Cole on the wing and both Torres and ngog up front in the later stage of that game.

the Roy honeymoon ending so soon? Lets see what the Roy-loving British press will say about this...

if a player go on strike, the best thing is sell him immediately ...

no point keep a player like that whose heart is else where

can anyone tell me since when liv played 4-4-2 against strong teams at away games??...i juz cant figure out what in Roy's mind when he put those 4-4-2 lineup..what even mind boggling is,even m.city only played with lone striker in tevez at their home turf!..maybe he's over confident???or juz plain stupid???..give me 0-0 bored fest anytime against 3-0 whacking!

masch should be thankful that pool saved him from a reserve team...get xabi back la...kaotim all the problem

for me he's a gone case the moment he declared he want to quit liverpool...but someone in this forum says he's professional enough to give 100% eventho he clearly unhappy...well i guess his professional act stop after arsenal game ehhh

layan the game when we're 1 goal down...looking at RH 1st 11, i know i'm gonna see some comeback goal yg gempak2
but heck,no luck at all moreover did u see how MC keep possesion + lure liverpool player to run around cam budak skolah..huhuhu

hope this just early season hiccup...YNWA

listen up,about the team morale,remember we still got 2 matches to play this week,and good thing is we are on the front seat to win the 2nd leg against Trabzonspor,a win there and a win then against lower table team West Brom on Sunday sure gonna give us a morale boost back

i hope this become reality

How i wish it will be that easy for us. As you know we like to do things the hard way

3-0, its not the scoreline that hurts, its the way we played. dare i say, rafa will never have "tested" a FLAT 442 formation , away from home, against the best squad in the premier league WITHOUT 2 NATURAL wingers who can actually CROSS the ball. I don't remember we ever got outplayed this badly under rafa ( could be rose tainted memories :-P )

Im afraid we MAY have hired a manager that is suited to a lesser team, i.e win your home matches and do what you can for away games. You dont finish in the top 4 with kind of thinking ... sigh....

What a wake-up call... 3 - 0

At least now Liverpool know where they stand. Cash investment is hard to come by, so the players have to stick together... no excuse.
...That's what RH would always tell his players.

Mashy should respect the fact that it was Liverpool that re-ignite his career, the least he can do it respect the board decision and play... He did signed a contract also ma... why footballers now a days like that one.

agreed.why play 442 again a very pacey team...huh..under rafa doesnt remember goes down 3-0 like this one...huh
very dissapointed..but hey..head up ur head..there will be golden sky at the end..hope so..

Given that both Jova and Kuyt are actually strikers and not midfielders, we effectively played with two midfielders : Gerrard and Lucas!

I would either haved played Poulsen and Maxi in place of Lucas and Torres (let him come on later) or Poulsen and Agger again in place of Lucas and Torres, and played Carra as LB with Soto & Skrtle as CBs. As it turned out, I think we were out-skilled (Johnson & Milner) and outmuscled (De Jong & Toure) in the middle.

Perhaps RH is still getting to know his players and has overestimated Torres and Gerrard. This is a major hiccup!?

The only positive thing about it is that this has happened early ..

Lucas playing last nite ah?...aiyo.

Nightmare.

next game is a must win
