Meireles kept on pushing too far forward leaving Lucas to battle for the ball in cm, while cole and maxi did the same thing, leaving a formation of 4-1-5 when we had the ball in the first half. I've said this before, but regarding Johnson - it's like everyone runs away from the ball carrier rather than supports him. Basic schoolboy football error that I find extremely disappointing from a club of our stature. It was obvious that people were going to play long ball stuff to Carroll, and with him not fully fit it's equally unsurprising he struggled. Poor understanding of his strengths from his team mates, and a general lack of our best players (Suarez, Kelly, Gerrard) will make it tough going. With our failure to progress here I'm pretty certain that the first person Reina spoke to after the game was his agent. No EL is even worse than no CL, and if Wenger weren't such a miser he'd be rubbing his hands at finally having a chance to solve his goal keeping problems. Talking of which. Did anyone else notice just how slow he was taking goal kicks in the 2nd half, dithering around, twisting the ball around in his hands,gently placing it down ever so carefully, then re-adjusting it backwards/forwards half a centimetre, 5 steps back. GET A BLOODY MOVE ON you toss pot. The clock is running down here and we're LOSING!

this game proves nothing we were easy to play against because we have no pace from anywhere (we already knew this), having said that, a lot of credit has to go to the braga manager because not many managers would have come to anfield and held such a high line made it impossible for us to play there was no room for meireles and co to pass the ball and they didn't have to worry about anyone making a run in behind them, i was quite impressed with braga tbh. on to us again i think kenny made a couple of rubbish decisions bringing on spearing for cole when we are looking for a goal makes no sense at all and why only use 2 subs we had lucas and spearing both on the pitch and we had 'the greek' on the bench as we were just long ballin' it all game why not take off lucas bring 'the greek' on and have him and carroll up front. (just for a general bit of a rant now) kenny and clarke, don't stop talking during the match, but what the fck are they talking about? i ask this because for all their little chats they change fck all we never change our shape they never make a change that could change something i think must be talking about how nice their dinner was

Simple fact is that the squad is very weak. We need a clear out of 7-8 so called first team players before we can even contemplate getting back to the top. The likes of Lucas, Kuyt (legend after utd, but still not good enough), Maxi, Cole, Johnson, etc. are and will always be a level below what we need.

The usual same templated, copied and pasted post that we have to read EVERY piggin' time we lose.

Fuccking hell utd must need 12 new players then and they're top of the league. Utter pish that is spouted on here by the same dumb ass people every time we lose. The same dumb ass people who think it's all rafa's fault and if only we'd have given hodgepodge more time, you know , let him build a squad in his own image. Nonsense, you can only start with 11 men (it's in the rules, honest)to say we need 7 or 8 players is like saying if only we had all the money in the world we could win something. Go support citeh, you'll be happier, honest.

The players were poor but the system was a failure from the start. We were so narrow it was unreal, only Johnson offered us any real width on occasions. In the summer we need wingers, they should be priority number one. Then a left-back and a midfielder or two. If we don't we'll end up just hoofing it down the middle every game and no-one wants to see that shat.

Go support citeh, you'll be happier, honest. to get better the squad will be needing a goalie because reina is off , at least 1 centre back a left back one or two wide players and another centre mid thats just to compete thats at least 6 new first teamers , then the squad needs a revamp look at the bench last night flanaghan, pachecho,nogo, spearing well if that makes you happy the dire squad mr benitez left us well fine , but the majority of reds are not happy , and as for beating united yes brilliant great fantastic , but in may they could win at least the double could win the lot but they lost at liverpool so disaster at old trafford then , we are a poor squad that needs a massive rebuild and i know for people like yourself it hard to take but benitez was the problem with the squad he left liverpool with , the team that beat united got battered by west ham and put up no fight against braga who are a bog standard team in portugal league .

Totally agree with you Growler. Same old BS being said here. I don't think we should actually try and analyse the game last night cause there was fooking nothing to analyse. I think we played football for like 5 mins. The rest of the 85 mins was like watching a Sunday game between two Under 14 team.
It sickens me to actually take 90 mins out of my life to watch that muck. I feel sorry for people who went to the game and paid god money to watch it.
I am tired of watching these WELL below par performances. I mean these guys are fully paid professionals and thats the muck they produce. Can't pass, can't cross, can't play 15 metre passes. Can't tackle. 35M and Carroll can't stay on side. Kuyt gets in the way. Skertel has the best chance of the match.
Tired, deflated, pished off, disgraceful, over paid players,
Boring - YAWN
5 TIMES
