The players should be ashamed of themselves for that sort of performance. And Rafs got it wrong today, like it or not. Baros, Gerrard, Luis Garcia, Pellegrino, Biscan were alll terrible. Not 1 Liverpool player turned up today and we deserved to loose. Baros was the main culprit. He didn't close down, his first touch was shocking and he didn't look interested. Garcia gave the ball away and moaned far too much. Gerrard showed good touches but he had no desire to run his heart out for the whole game as gerrard of last season did. Pellegrino simply isn't good enough. We didn't show any urgrncy for 90 mins. And when gerrard got 1 chance to pull an undeserved point out of the fire he f*cked it right up. Rafa also got it wrong tactically and with the team he played. Baros cant play on his own with 2 marking him, we surrendered the initiative to newcastle by playing 5 at the back, he played gerrard on the right for most of the game and it's just a bad decision to play pellegrino. Blackburn must do us a favour tomorrow if we want a hope of getting 4th although looking at it now, we dont desreve to nor look like getting it. I still support rafa and think he will bring forward but missing out on champions league football is a major step back.

to play 5 at the back against the barcodes...we got what we deserve. I am lost for words...

I agree with everything Stapo, but gettin rid of Baros isnt such a bright idea either, you cannot play 1 upfront in the premiership when will Rafa realise this?
I am so p.issed off its unbelieveable, I dont know whats going on on the training pitch but it certainly isnt great on a football pitch.
Our inspirational captain made himself noticed on the 92nd minute only it went wide.
Why didnt he get forward more? are these Rafas orders? or is he sick of carrying the team.
There was not one player on that pitch or on the sub bench that could have turned that game around,
No one, something bad is happening to our club and we have very worrying times ahead.
We are 5 games away from winning the Champions League, but I dont even think our players realise that.

I never said we should sell baros and i think we should hold onto him but only if he's prepared to buck up and sit on the bench when he's told and not think he's better than the team by making comments to the media and then playing sh1t like that. he may have been alone up front but he still showed a terrible first touch and whenever he got to run with the ball he let bramble of all people get the better of him.

[A.B.]

Tactics? Every game the objective is to win the game by scoring. Our players didn't have the determination to create anything.

If our players continue to stroll around the pitch then we will continue to lose. The team picked itself today, five players injured again................

ALT and Luis Garcia are not strikers, they wouldnt had done a better job with Baros up front.

Our midfield was too poor to create anything because most of the players couldn't give a damn.

somethings wrong at the club,when the captians heart is else where it doesn't make for a good team spirit.

[crazyhorse]

If we could get 10 mill plus for Baros get him the ****** out of our club. I think he is a footballing mercenary and not loyal to the club before himself.
I am sick of his whinging and sicker of his ineptitude on the park.

Lyndsey, done give me ****** about not being able to play one upfront. We have the players to pull off any system and if they aren't good enough to adapt then the should be sold.

It doesn't matter wether you play 1, 2 or 3 upfront, as long as its RIGHT it works. The formation isn't the problem, its the attitude and commitment of this side.

The formation isn't the problem, its the attitude and commitment of this side.

For a good hour I thought that I was the only who thought the same.

We used a 4-5-1 formation against Arsenal and won but in that particular game there was hunger and determination. In this one and so many others there wasn't.

Yer yer what ever we are playing in the prem since when as Liverpool been a one upfront team? What year? when?

But look at the things Shankly achieved in the long run? Shankly himself had a poor first season but from that point on he's made one of the biggest impacts on the club.
