KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum That was a much better effort

Very lucky to take 3 points, could have easily have taken 0.

Squandered too many chances, maxi seems to have found some form over the past two games tho as a positive. Torres doesn't seem to have any hunger at the moment, and his finishing is just not what you expect from him.

Soto played very well too, witout him in that squad i think bolton would have beaten us, everytime he goes up for a corner i feel asif we could score, longtime since ive had that feeling.

Lucas isn't playing too bad to be fair, he had a decent game.

I think overall tho the performance was, horrible, drab, very boring and just seemed like we were on a par with the likes of Bolton, Blackburn, west ham for are footballing ability.

Blackburn game was much better, wins a win tho and atleast we are out the drop zone. A performance like that against chelsea is not good enough.

As we took the 3 points there will be a few good performance remarks. However if they got either of the penalty shouts, or davis scored his sitter I'd be reading what a shoddy performance it was on this forum. It wasn't a good performance by any stretch of the imagination. Maxi did alright, certainly don't think it was his best game. As a right winger you need to take people on and beat them, never saw him do that once. Far to slow to play there in this league. The way Roy set his team out was wrong again, 2 painfully slow wingers, noone has ever achieved anything like that. Subs were forced not inspired.
We have 3 or 4 very good players and some players who at some stage of the career were very good so those ones show a bit of class now and then. But you cannot rely on that. There is no balance to the way Roy has set up the team. No one was more supprised than roy to see us one nil up. You can tell the team just doesn't know how to play when they're winning because we hoofed it out of our half whenever we got position.
I am ofcourse happy to get the win. Well done to Maxi for taking his goal well. Well done to the players for occaisionally stringing some nice moves together. But the manager spent the whole game looking like an idiot scratching his head with no clue what to do. My fear is he has bought himself another 5 games with that win. Maybe even till January and our transfer kitty. That would be nightmare.

I was happy with the fact we created chances to even score away that is important and at the beginning of the match we did have players pressing them into their own half, they fell to pieces though in the second half. I think the morale of the team hasn't much improved but an away win is good however they perform, if they keep a clean sheet hard to knock them.. I am still anti hodgson and if he proves us all wrong and they win 12 games in a row i will be glad to say i was wrong, so better performance all in all now we are 'average' and not 'rubbish'

LUCKY

Actually it's called 'winning ugly'. Not a lot of teams can do it, so here's the middle finger to those who believe our problems are because the players can't be arsed to play. Think it was an accident that after we changed tactics we won two games in a row? That's more than we'd won in the league during the 8 games prior. "There are no accidents".

I felt there was less sulking in this game and a more positive mood in the camp.
