The question mark for me today was Henderson over Kuyt, but I think KD was looking more for a front 2 than a front 3, so I can understand his choice. Adam getting sent off turned the game on its head, and Skrtel was hopeless. Downing on the right was to cover Skrtel, because he's much faster than our other players when trying to deal with Bale. Everything went against us today, and we simply never got into our stride, never got into the game. A lot of the credit for that must go to Spurs who produced their best performance of the season, timed to perfection with our worst. It wasn't to be - how the team deals with it, how they recover is what is important now, not recriminations aimed at the manager. Try to recall that we lost at Anfield last season against a Spurs side without van der vaart AND Bale, and Adebayor was immense for them today.

Optimism is there because we trust the people in charge, football and especially in England does not have a direction, anything can change within a few weeks. Like I have been saying this Liverpool squad is completely new side and needs at least a season to properly gel. In the spurs starting 11 I think Walker, Parker and Adebayour are the only players real new players to their starting line up. The team knows each other and have cohesion. We will look to improve game by game.

man utd 3-0 up liverpool light years behind them .

Fed up and frustrated with what exactly? Away losses to Stoke and Spurs? When last did we take points off either of these teams on their turf? Misplaced pessimism is the greater poison here.

wrong misplace optimissium is the poison

So are Chelsea and Arsenal and oh look Spurs lost by 3 there as well. But you know - all those United wins are at home. We lost two games at venues where we struggle, and are rebuilding (lest we forget, because you all clearly have). Therefore we must sack the manager (the purpose of this thread)?

And try to remember that we're not competing with United this season.

How so? Reminding Carroll that he cost 35m with every sentence you speak is going to help him find his groove, is it? Papering over the cracks is one thing, but undermining the club you claim to support is quite another.

Well lets hope you are right. Re not taking points there should be nowhere that is out of bounds for be taking points if we are serious about progressing beyond 6th, 7th or 8th spot.

Yeah I think we are not the only club behind United. They are a real force this season.

dont start that at start of the season the majotity were expecting a title challenge , not me i thought and said this would be like this good at home ordinary away likely 4th 5th or 6th likely 5th or 6th , so changing the goalposts just because it gone bad is wrong , on here there post were just a strong as man utd .
