True about the missed chances,not many excuses for them either.

All in all, just a bad sad day for LFC, equally matched by the vile weather that accompanied it, and the reuslt didn't really come as a great shock to me tbqh.

P'raps if Luis had been playing, things might have been different. Who knows?
Maybe with him being banned, that helped Citeh and ultimately hammered another nail in the coffin in the scums quest for another title.
It's be nice to know, or even think that the filth may have shot themselves in the foot.

That's how I saw it - but it also showed us that we won't win many games with the trio of Carroll, Kuyt and Downing up front

The first two were simply awful and Downing's miss in the opening minutes was just typical of his and our season so far

And the ontroduction of Bellamy, Gerrard and Maxi didn't swing the game in our favour like I thought it might

I cannot understand why KK did not play Stevie and Bellars right at the start.
I do not fancy Downing, an ex Middlesborough misfit as well as Henderson and AC - we need to sell these guys.
What we need are two strikers WHO CAN SCORE GOALS and a decent wide man who knows how to feed through.
Commoli must get of his butt and start getting us quality players, or we could apply for his job and will do better for cert.

I will say what I said in another thread,

A minor setback, city are a billionare team and we lost in their back yard, no shame in that. However, we need to step up our game and make signings in the areas we need if we are going to reach our target of fourth. Our signings has to be based on the current weakness in the squad, which is lack of creativity and goal scoring. But right now we are not out of contention for fourth

Don't wish to sound too negative here, but do you mean a bit like the previous 'weak' teams we've had in the FA Cup before?

+1. The last time we played City other teams were saying they will play City how Liverpool played against City. Kenny is far from a bad tactician. That said, we need players especially in the striking department. Lets move on.

imo playing well AND scoring goals makes all the difference

Agreed. But playing well is a prerequisite to scoring goals.

so we are putting i down to bad luck again?well i cant wait for the goodluck to kick in.i think theres more than luck to it.reina is having a bad season.he cost us in the game against fulham.he is prone to dropping the occasional bollock.and if you are in a team that cant score goals then those [oops] are very costly.
