We are playing too many longballs....we should be able to play derby of the ground...by playing short and move. (thats liverpool way).....

At the moment...only torres seems like scoring and derby are putting 3 players on him whenever he gets the ball...

[The_Rock]

Have to say gerrard is not looking comfortable playing with alonso....(as he has to take care of defending too). If Mash was alongside him....Gerrard will be all over derby.

half time

[J*o*n*D*o*e]

should be over the horizon by now.

[The_Rock]

Half time......At this rate...torres will think he is at atletico madrid (where he had to do everything).....

Come on lads.

Enough of long balls....we are playing derby FFS.

Get benayoun on.....he can keep the ball.....

At the moment...whevever riise, auerlio, voronin and babel get the ball...they try to release it too early.....

and this is where rotation does not work..

[ruskiy playmaker]

Wasteful first half, but a great goal by Torres.  And Voronin was just terrible.

[account deleted by request]

We should have a comfortable lead by now, should have been able to rest players second half with a 3 or 4 goal lead.

[puroresu]

voronin is a joke.  we need another striker!!

[holylamb2006]

The tactics are all wrong ........

The teams like they havent played before .....

We're playing against derby c'mon now .....

Lets start to play football

here we go , scapegoats for a average half time , for FFS , we are not doing that badly and we are in the lead , i know its expected but mate we are winning , lets just see how rafa's half time talk goes , manure are like 3 up . if i were rafa , i will revery to a 4-3-3  , push gerrard on thr right , riise on the left with 1 centre mid alonso , who has been exceptional so far , not one stray pass from him as of yet . i 'd still stick with my prediction for 4-0 and hope the lads pick up after a average first's half 's performance

star sports is now showing the 2nd half highlights

Babel was also terrible....

And riise and auerlio are not LW.......

I know its only derby but look at how we are playing

Rafa has imbalanced the team again... A Babel and riise/auerlio wingers means we will lose the ball a lot...

I hope that rafa plays benayoun and kewell against man city..as none of the other players in our squad can match their ability on the wings....

agreed , we need to step up the tempo and stop being sow asteful , manure now can afford to rest players

Babel poor display so frustrating at times ballooned his chance, yer can forgive Carra for his miss. Another goal and its 3 points in the bag we can't muller every team, were normally strong late on in games but would like an early second half goal
