Liverpool 2010/11 Season Thread

Either of you need to get me two tickets to a london based away game. Anything will do, I'm easy.

Its nice to be nice at Christmas.

As long as it is not like Fulham

Ad, it might just be worth going to the ground to try, LFC fans are usually very honest with pricing and selling at profit is heavily frowned upon for spares. My mate always complains if he has spares as he cannot make any profit on them!

[SharkSkin-Man]

Indeed, anyone who tries to sell spares above face value is a massive, massive prick.

[Adrock]

I might have to try that.

Cheers for the advice. Obviously the bigger games will be a lot harder to get spares for.

Liverpool to face Unirea of Romania in the last 32 of the Europa League. Could've been much worse considering the teams left in it.

I still stand by my earlier sentiments, though. Would much rather see Rafa field second-string teams in the Europa League. Getting back into the Prem top-4 HAS to be the main aim, and we can always make a run at the FA Cup for silverware.

I may well be in the minority, but I personally see no glamour attached to a once-great competition (UEFA Cup) that UEFA have now needlessly diluted beyond all reasonable credibility, and our moron media would look only to put negative spin on a Liverpool Europa League win (ie. "They weren't good enough for the Champions' League, etc, the usual bull****).

Amazing! Not onlyare Liverpool are 1-0 down, they are also a man down - Mascherano has been sent off!

[hudson]

Playing **** again. Gerrard playing like dog ****. Insua, Johnson, Agger. Dog ****. Deserved I suppose. Hope we can get it together for second half.

Rafa has made some dubious decisions in his time, but I don't think he should get all the blame. The players need to perform and there have been a lot of poor performances from certain players this season. Very hot and cold stuff. Where's Riera?

Seriously, what is going on with Liverpool FC?

I'll admit, I found their awful form amusing at first but it's gotten to the point where I simply cannot understand how a team that plays as well as they did for large parts of last season can suffer such a massive dip in form.

[Kongster]

Confidence taken a real battering, with a huge slice of bad luck and a beach ball on top.

[toythatkills]

No Alonso innit.

[Kongster]

No Alonso innit.

Oh c'mon, there is a bit more to it than that.

[hudson]

No Alonso innit.

That's bull **** and easy for many people to say. We've got a team there who should be battering teams like this. It's not our central midfield playing **** today, it's the defence, wingbacks, R/L mid and Gerrard.

Exactly, Kongster. Sick of people who say "Alonso". Easy to say and mostly by people who don't know what they're talking about. No offence TTK

Paid for sloppy defending really. Portsmouth, despite their situation are a much more dangerous team under Grant. They're a team which will put its all into set pieces and counter attacks, gotta stay sharp.

Agree with the red card. Although it didn't make full contact, the intent was enough. broken bones if it lands on a leg. Perhaps the only player in the league who I think is worse than Scholes for dangerous tackles.

[Supergoal]

First 20 mins were fine. All over them, then we stop playing well, and start to be scrappy and really awful. Team selection again is odd. I keep saying it almost every game now, but if we lose this game can the manager really stay on any longer? How many more games do we have to lose before sense comes..

I'm dreading the second half.

[abigsmurf]

4 match ban by the way, second red of the season. Can't see any appeal being successful. They rarely are for dangerous play.
