KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum We are so poor defending set-pieces and crosses!

I thought we played alright for the most part, Coates' goal was fantastic, Kuyt made it 0-2. We played some decent football at times, Downing was poor though for me.

But then the same things that have cost us all season, have cost us yet again! We are so so so poor defending set-pieces and crosses! It cost us twice tonight and has cost us numerous times this season......and even if we do concede a legit goal from play, it's always down to poor positioning and reactions.

Any glimmer of hope we still have left for Carroll, is totally being destroyed by management.....and management alone!

We are so in-consistent its untrue and if we don't sort that out next season, we can kiss good buy to Champions League football yet again next season.

(On a positive note, at least Adam is injured )

carra is back in simple sorry to say it

and they did.......

I mean cast your mind back as much as you can to games we've played this season, and think of all the goals we've conceded, that we COULD have dealt with.

We've been rock solid at the back in some games, but we always fall to sleep, when concentration matters the most.

We end up conceding goals from set-pieces and corners, simple ball, easy header, Pepe rooted on the spot every time.

You'd think we could learn a bit from teams doing this to us. In a defending aspect AND a attacking one!

Carragher has lost his legs, think he needs to move on now.

Thought Downing did ok tbh.

I thought Downing didn't look interested in certain parts of the game, he suffered from the Charlie Adam syndrome.....Charlie Adam was the same as usual.

I was pleased when he went over holding his leg. I don't think I've ever been pleased for that, for one of our own players.

You gotta laugh at those comments!

"We look at games and players but we have not got any clear picture in our mind of what we want.

The players here have done fantastically well and if anyone is going to come in they will have to be a hell of a player to do better than what they have done.


These boys are in pole position, they are sitting there comfortable, none of them can be disappointed with what they have contributed this season.

So we are not going to be sharp to get rid of anyone so if anyone else is coming in to add what they've done they need to be better than what we have here."

I hope the man is bluffing! I seriously do!

He aint gona say they are sh1t.

Charlie Adams set pieces aren't worth 10 pound completely agree our set piece defending and taking is awful this year

No but its what we are all thinking and if we are you can bet the board are even more than us. Patience yes but not if we are heading nowhere which in my view we are

No, he shouldn't come out and say they're necessarily sh*t, but he should call it as it happens. Ala Bolton away.....

You'd have to say the man is a liar, if he says "NONE of the players we have, can be disappointed!"

Some of em should be so embarrassed, that they feel obliged to put their wrongs, back right....yet some of em are playing the same tonight, as on the first game of the season, making the same mistakes....repeatedly throughout the season.

Yet, they "None of them can be disappointed"

Let's face it, the team, management and owners' primary aim before a ball was kicked this season was, Champions League football. The fact that we're not going to get it, is a disappointment for all involved.

....and when I hear things like "None of them should be disappointed"....and "We're not going to sign anyone"

I feel as if we're falling.

Enrique yes.

Skrtel can be let of for making one mistake on the cross.

Henderson sh*t out on the corner they scored from.

Carragher wasn't at fault today as he was against Arsenal.
