Come on mate we would have taken 0-1 before kick off it was a great result and Liverpool domninated europe once with those hit and hold tactics. I agree with your general stance on Dalglish but lets be fair.

I agree but he did look a bit shaky himself against City last time he played. Hopefully he will have learnt from that. Johnson wouldbe better as an attacking option as he does not stop crosses coming over and has no idea how to support the CB's by blocking off runs of opponents at the right time.

glen johnson was man of the match at city and against stoke at home ok he didnt play well at bolton but apart from bellamy who did ,

...............reina
glen..skrtel...agger...jose
hendo..sg...adam..downing
..............maxi
......................bellamy

Maxi... not in the first team in my opinion he offers very little... I hope i eat my words but he plays about 2-3 good games a season and usually plays about 10-15 mins per game where he actually looks sharp. He should be on the way out!

maddog,

maxi is due a good game, so why not v city, i think he wud thrive in a free role, behind a striker like bellamy and maxi will cause the city back 4 loads of problems with his clever movement and he has a eye for goal.
carroll against citys 2 big center halfs, will be a easy nite for them.

kuyt, maxi sold this month, in come ie hoillet,krasic, graneo, sow.

It will be good to see him back!

agree 100%. when he plays we play with 10 men for 85mins

Based on a player is due, our whole team is due a good game. I just think he is slow and not that creative. When he scores 5-6 goals a season from either a lucky deflection that lands in his lap or being 1 yard out and tapping it in. Very rarely creates chances. Kuyt is a bit the same but he used to create but has been used sparingly this season

Reasoned the same. Should have tried to put the game to bed. Did not need defending. 1 away goal is not much of an advantage against a team like City. The dominance against Stoke was just because Stoke overestimated their opponents and choose to defend. Bolton on the other hand recognised that we were not a good as it would seem and choose to attack and were right to do so. Its goes down better when you play well and lose, there always the next game to prove yourself, at this stage, with our true quality revealed, everyone is going to take the game to us. We are in for a rough ride gents and it does not look pretty.
