Hugely disappointed we didn't see more from Fowler. Some great touches and vision, but mostly he was too far away from Crouch, and wasn't really involved as much as he could and should have been.

And now I can't help but wonder if that's the last time we'll see Robbie Fowler play at Anfield. A big performance tonight, coupled with Bellamy's injury, could've really made Rafa's selections interesting, but he didn't grab the bull by the horns in the way I hoped he would.

Yer havin a laugh aren't ya? The only attacking player who done anything on our side was Pennant. It was a flat and uninspiring performance in a game which we had already won a week ago.

The bashings the players are taking after this already is absoloutely insane. Honest to god, the lack of knowledge on this site is an embarressment at times it really is.

Yeah me to, he was obviously thinking " Why the cant anyone provide me with service like that ! " All night he was waiting for balls that were pulled behind him, to far infront or 10 foot over his head

Had he been as selfish as some of teammates he would of took a touch and hammered the ball he played to Crouch into the net....but hes far to classy for that

I thought Gonzalez put a few descent crosses in when he came on.

Wot do u guys reckon?

stu...Zenden looked good in that game FFS, fowler looked like my Dad trying to play with a bunch of youngsters. He was 10 yards off the pace and fell over the ball half a dozen times.  It was like watching a car crash.

I'm not gloating...its very sad to see a legend go through it.  Unselfish play for him to set up the goal...but he did nothing bar that moment. Crouch would break free from his marker get down the flank to cross and Fowler was 20 yards backwards!

Zenden looked good...



Stopped reading after that.

Yeah, was it just me or was there some sort of "Brokeback Mountain "moment there  GaryMac looked really uncomfortable at the way Gullit was leaning over towards him

  He set the goal up for him, if he did have a face which he didnt its because he would have rather had scored himself but couldnt due to lack of service.
