Ngog is the top scorer for the team until so far this season.

For the 5 games in a row, Liv only wake up or how to play for 15-20 min, the rest just lead the opponent to bombarb Reina's goal.

And I hate to say again and again, Liv deserved nothing from the match.

Did great?
Score a penalty and a freekick (which defender should brave enough to block the ball instead avoid it) is not something to proud about.

There is virtual zero threat to VDS for the entire match.

Good performance?? Did I watch the wrong match?
It is lucky that come back from 2-0, but yet defending is still dismay.

Liv only plays better for 15-20 period, other than that, it is just like attacking vs defending practice which Liv is the end of the defending side.

AF makes a sensible comment and hit the nail on the head.

Again it is not the result the matter, it is the performance concern the most!

So far, the performance is as good as relegation fighting team.
As soon as I watch for 30 min, I just wish the match ended now, with 0-0.

Reviewing the 1st goal
I was shock to see Torres marked Berbatov (opponent player that you know is threat to the goal) when corner kick time????
Torres is not known for its aerial ability and defending!

To be fair,
Liv has been getting away from several potential penalty in the past few games even this game, especially our defenders nowadays like to holds on opponent shirt during set-piece and corner kick time.

Even it ended up a draw, there still lot of worry on the performance side.

This is the result if Liv continue let opponent to bombarb your goal.

Sometimes, need to take initiative to attack.
Now seem like every match, just let opponent attack (even WBA attacked Liv constantly), and just hoping some magic moment, some counter attack, hooping the ball up to Torres and doing some magic and win 1-0.
Even Blackpool is more energetic and play more positively.

Added on September 20, 2010, 11:26 amThis was the 1st goal, Konchesky should be standing glueing with the post, but somehow, he was more central behind Reina. As if he was there, 1st goal can be cleared.

Nani is handy for most fullback when he is on form time, to be fair.

If financial situation doesn't sort out, as well as new stadium, Liv has every chance to repeat Leeds or Newcastle path, or same level with Everton.

It is not just creativity alone, (although it does), currently the team seem can't string passes or exchange passes accurately, let alone the creativity.
The only accurate passes are between defender and midfield only, once beyond opponent half, players look loss, little off the ball running to create space for midfielder to pass, as well as midfielders don't create passes and space to the forwards, except a few occassion primary through Joe Cole.

Arsenal always play quite narror, yet, their passes is damn good and can create spaces for themselves even in a narrow and crowded situation.

The only player seem to be on form at the moment is Ngog.

Hoofing tactic only works if you have Heskey type of player to knock down, and Owen pace to chase the ball, and shoot and goal. Then park the bus in front of goal until win 1-0 at the end.

It is for scrapping win out of the match.
If want win week in week out as a big team, then you bombarb opponent goal, not the other way round.

Deduct 9 points?
Then Liv become -4, rooting at the bottom of league, and in relegation dog fight then.

I can't believe Liv cannot beat a league two team.
I even can't believe Liv hardly tested a league two GK.

I didn't watch the match, is Liv still being bombarded by opponent goal as usual as for the last 5 league games? and by a league two team?
Somemore it is played at Anfield!!

Rafa time people call it boring, too defensive minded
Now, it is no more boring, quite correct, but it turns out scary to watch even against lower league team.

With the past 6 games display, I don't think can even qualify into Europe.

I disagree. Liv squad is miles better than Sunderland, WBA, Birmingham. (No disrespect to other team)

Current squad 90% of them are getting 2nd place with 80+ points in the 2 season ago.

I feel awful to watch every game, always opponent bombarding Liv goal one even at Anfield!
6 games 6 points, relegation candidate. In fact all the 6 games play/display, does look like relegation battle.

Sunderland handicapped one goal, also cannot win.

Lucas looks like world class now....
