Yeah the immediate sacking of a manager isn't always the option but the form hasn't improved in 9 games thats good enuf for me. Its either Kenny or Commoli who has to take responsibility for them poor signings this season and just go.

At least we showed a bit of fight today. It's a shame it took about 80 minutes, but that's more than we can usually say. That shouldn't take away from the fact that this was a poor result though. Any other year, that kind of sh*t would be unacceptable. The fact that some people seem resigned to a home draw against the worst Villa side in years says it all really.

I think gettin that draw with such little time left after bein down for so long will give the team some much needed confidence. If they now can go on and grind out a win against blackburn (thats difficult for a liverpool supporter to say) i think our heads will be alot higher for the semi final, and i think we can end the season strong. Now i do believe Kenny does need to go, but the fact is until the end of the season he's not goin anywhere! then he'll either walk or be saked, hopefully walk. but until then lets support the team, i know it's frustrating but theres no good in constantly sayin how crap kenny is! its not helpin anything! let's hopefully win the cup, kenny will walk, we'll sort ou this team and in the next season or two be back up with the big boys!

Yes I do have bollox and the right to an opinion.

I'm not particularly bothered if you agree with it because I didin't post it for your approval.

They certainly showed some fight and that was great. Put me in a much better mood seeing them care and give a sh!t and go for it.

I think that's entirely different to thinking sacking the manager is the way to go personally. 2 different issues and aren't mutually exclusive.

What disheartened me though was to see Carroll look like he's waiting for the summer. Some people clearly think he's been mistreated. But for me he hasn't in the slightest, he's had a couple of runs, not improved enough, and he's blaming those around him and not enough himself. I don't think he has the right attitude.

On a side note, Suarez needs to stop fking diving. It really is a disgrace seeing him go down with minimal contact.

To be fair he keeps having decisions go against him.

I was extremely disappointed in how we played the first half. Enrique and Kuyt were vying for worst man of the match. I'm always amazed how poor we are in the final third.

But the lads at least tried a bit in the second half. We had better movement off the ball, Gerrard made more of an impact, and that was almost certainly because we stopped playing 4-5-1.

Extremely disappointed once again to see Kenny decide that Bellamy should play on the left (where he was totally innocuous except for one effort on goal from 8 yards that missed the target by half that). Downing provided a few decent balls for no one to head, and then he goes off for Carroll. It's been 9 months of watching the manager do this, and I'm yet to work out Kenny's reasoning in playing a target man without the best crosser in the team for service. Anyone else noticed how many corners we win when Carroll doesn't play, all of which amount to nothing?

Another nothing game from Shelvey, Carra just not good enough, Enrique & Kuyt shocking, Henderson did a good impression of Spearing, Gerrard was generally quite poor (something's happened to his passing), Agger had a good game at LB (even though "good" is probably based on how bad Enrique was), and as usual we continued to cross the ball behind rather than in front of Carroll.

Seriously, unless we can stop being sh1te in the final 3rd (crosses, passes, support play etc) we will continue to struggle to score. 20+ shots on goal, only a handful on target. Pathetic.

But at least we showed some spirit at the end - that's been missing most of this year.

He picked up a yellow for having a player stand on his foot.
