Mancs are the first team since Everton in 1910 to secure four successive clean sheets in the league against us at Anfield. My tuppence worth, for what it is worth, was that it was depressing viewing at Anfield yesterday. In the build up to the corner that led to the goal, Riise played a poor ball to Kewell, who although under pressure, coughed up possession way to easily. He is too easily knocked off the ball and when the board went up with number 19 on it to herald Babel's substitution, I saw Kewell looking across. He knew he was going off and what's more, it seemed to me that he was quite happy to get out of there. He owes us big time and his performance yesterday was unacceptable in my book, limping away clutching his foot at one stage like a poof after an innocuous enough looking tackle. Riise was awful (again), I can't understand how Kuyt stayed on for 72 minutes and it pains me to say it but I reckon Carra's best days are behind him. And another thing, if you're using man to man marking, and not zonal, at set pieces, who is one of the first players you will pick up against Man U? Rooney...He was blatantly disregarded at the end of the box and we paid the price. Going forward, we were clueless. And the last 20 minutes were thorougly miserable as long ball after long ball rained down harmlessly on top of the Man U back four. Is that what we have become? Kick and rush merchants? No creativity, no flair and although we can look back on a few weeks where we scored a few goals, the quality of the opposition has to be taken into consideration. I have yet to be convinced of the current merits of this team and ye have to acknowledge that Rafa's record against Chelsea, Arsenal and Man U in the league since he took over has been abysmal to say the least. Are we any closer to winning the title now than when he arrived? Well, are we? Don't forget that we still have to travel to the Emirates, Stamford Bridge and Castle Greyskull and the max we will take out of those three visits, IMO, is two points. We are out of it folks, let's face facts. And our failure to finish top of the qualification group in the Champions League could well see us exit the competition in February. End of....

its sad but its another wasted season in my opinion
league is over and champions league looks daunting, fa cup is the best we can for
rafa spent wrongly in the summer (choosing babel over signing a world class winger) dont get me wrong i like babel but if he isnt going to play him up front then he is wasted.... and didnt replace luis garcia with someone of equal ability
benayoun may seem like a good replacement but he just isnt the same in the big games as little luis

Do we really need Dirk Kuyt? He is not good at all
His contribution in the game was ZERO
We should sell him

lol ^
dirk does part of his job very well.......when i met him in my dream he said he has just never found that goalscoring form at liverpool because of so many personal issues in his life e.g his dad passing away.
