KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum and a muppet like me predicted it 2 weeks ago!!!

A pre-season spent trying to sell players rather than build a team...

Yet more questions than answers over what 35M actually buys.

More mildfielders than my missus has shoes when what we now need is a defence...

A team that turns up on day one of the season...predicably under prepared...in the words of the 5 Live commentary team 'Sunderland look fitter than Liverpool....'

As predicted the supporters of the Chelsea, Utd, City and Spurs are already delighted at our ability to make our own task as difficult as possible..points dropped on day one...our rivals ahead from the start!

New left back...straight into the team with (I THINK) no training... are we really that desperate?

Pretty much all of the above I predicted two weeks ago....

AAAAGGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!

sometimes football fans make me sad. get a grip its the first game, bolton are top. ffs lets judge our team in may not august.

boycott the club get those yank fukks out they ain't spent a penny..... relegation battle, anyone?

We are in the top 4, champions league here we come.

im already ordering my rooney shirt, i do love a good knee-jerk reaction, dont you CeeDee?

Watching us throw away points against teams we should be hammering out of sight makes me sad!

There is no time to make a poor start...if Utd, Arsenal, Spurs and Chelsea drop points this weekend then we get away with it....otherwise we are playing catch-up.

If thats not a problem...we are not competing with the aforementioned..simple.

Just trying to be positive, Sunderland are a good team and we didn't lose. Yes we didn't win either but we are unbeaten and our squad is new and will take time to gell.

It's not a 'knee-jerk' reaction....I posted today's result in advance a couple of weeks ago....our pre-season was questionable....today's result is the price...a poor start at home.

The top four have looked better...by tomorrow we may well be taking our place in line behind them...sadly well predicted...

Well I've been critical enough on another thread and I believe criticism is justified, however I don't believe in over reacting either as some here seem to be doing. We were dominant in the first half and possibly ran out of steam in the 2nd, thats all. There's some positives to be taken from the game, and Its only the 1st game of the season, we can still finish in the top 4. So please don't start a deluge of negativity just because we drew our first game!

i think its a fair point.this is a massive season for us and its all massive for kenny.torres going wasnt down to him but buying carrol and building a team around him is.we will have to play a different type of football this season.
i dont want to be all doom and gloom but unless we get going and fast we could find our-selfs to far behind before the season really gets going.we all had this down as a home banker beacuse of the money thats been spent and the general feeling around the club.we have all been pleased that the club has gone out and spent a bit of money but no-one has been totaly head over heels about any of our buys.
if its true that we are less fit than a team like sunderland then someone needs shooting.
it is to early to get to down hearted but we have arsenal next and already its a game we must take something out of.we really needed to hit the ground running today and make a statement,i think we did make a statement but its the wrong one.
