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

A much better team performance.....everybody tried hard to breakdown Bolton and an excellent goal by Maxi. For me, the best players on the pitch were Greek and Lucas. They were very positive, because too many times, the players received the ball and instead of progressing forward, they passed it back again.

You could feel it so much that Greek wanted to score with a bullet header.

Lucas got stuck in well and linked play quite well.

However, I couldn't work out why Cole/Konchesky were always trying to whip the ball in for Torres when he is up against Zat Knight who is Crouchys height!

All in all, a much better team performance.

Decent performance but in my opinion, last week was twice as good a performance as this one.

I thought we were lucky to come away with the win but we did at least play some attacking football. They did have some good chances (possibly 2 penalties) and some excellent efforts on goals but I will take any win at the moment because it builds confidence and that is what all the players need. Let's hope we get something out of the next game against the Chavs!

Better winning going into the Chavs game that's for sure!

i think its fair to say if we hadn't of got the result we would all be slating the manager / performance again. we were a bit lucky imo but yea we were better than the derby / blackpool performances

the greek had a good game but as for lucas he hardly even touched the ball. i wasnt really that impressed with the performance and we were very lucky to get a win. i know maxi scored but apart from that he wasnt really involved in the game as much as i would of wanted him to. i would play shevely ahead of maxi any day

maybe we watched a different game, most of the papers feel it was Maxi's best game. As do I. Lucas was less on the ball than normal but far more incisive than he has ever been, picking out Torres and Gerrard on numerous occassions, passes had pace as well! The centre pair actually complimented each other quite well. Torres and Gerrard got alot more of the ball in the right areas for once. It's a shame that both were rather poor with it. Maybe it was the surprise of all!

nando should have scored that early chance if he did it would have been an easy game because he would have been nice and confident for the rest of the game happy-ish with the performance, the league making much happier reading, we are only 3 points behind spurs and only 5 points off of citeh in 4th so it ent all doom n gloom (It is still mostly though) but as a note away from the game carragher has to be dropped he just isnt the player he was 3 years ago and also did you see our bench awful spearing, paulsen and selvey on the bench but no pacheco ? mind blowingly stupid we already had 3 CM's on the pitch and roy put another 3 on the bench

what you expzct normally he has squad full of defenders! that was a roy being ambitous squad

I never get this about lucas i have never thought of him as rubbish , maybe ineffective but to say (as some do) he is rubbish is unfair, he has done one or two forward looking passes in the last few matches , i think someone on here once posted about him being immature and hiding behind other players there may be some truth in that,, and if that is the case he could progress into a decent player i wouldn't say great player because we would have noticed by now, so much better than poulson and seems to do the same job
