Memphis

Got a massive opportunity tomorrow.

Rosicky misses a decent chance there in the 95th minute...

How many serious injuries were there? Carragher and Skrtel managed to injure each other but it was never six minutes. Another Attwell mistake.

Nasri walked a goal in. 1-3

Stuart Attwell is going to be absolutely slated after this shambolic performance. Can't get anything right and has totally lost control of the match.

Gerrard equalises for Liverpool. One man team indeed.

Merseyside derby in the Championship next season?

2-0 WBA! ALMUNIA HOWLER!

Liverpool can barely string two passes together at the moment. And you can't see where any goals will come from... Hodgson's solidified everyone's quite proper conclusion about his appointment at Liverpool very quickly.

Good header off a good cross from Onuoha, must be said.

Bent goal Liverpool 1-2 mackems

Liverpol fortunate to have avoided another penalty - Reina cleared out Welbeck in the box...

As there should be. Liverppol have no width, no inspiration, Gerrard is totally subdued, Torres is carrying a knock and is off the pace, Cole/Meireles largely anonymous. Anfield has been quiet. mackems in control - 55/45 possession advantage.

Liverpool are just nothing. They've offered nothing at all since the freak goal. They've become Fulham in record time - a distinctly average Premier League side. Actually, Fulham have looked better.

It was very clear that Turner was merely leaving the ball for Mignolet to take the free kick. It was never in a million years a pass and only the most pedantic interpretation of the rulebook would allow for that decision to be reached.

1-1 Bent pen Poulsen obvious handball in the box to give the penalty.

Attwell is a joke of a ref and that was a terrible decision but it's always fun to laugh at the scum. Of course, Poulsen has just given them a chance to equalise.

no I'm am not student just a guy who loves food, drink, fuck, smoking and see good football simply What life Indeed. Impossible to add to that.

I assume once this thread gets to 400 pages, Ben Arfa will immediately be signed on a permanent basis.

Apropos of nothing... http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/ben-arfa-rewards-exotic-enterprise-by-bringing-his-goal-to-newcastle-2083891.html Sounds miserable.

This really says it all...Alan Smith's chalkboard from the Blackpool match compared with Cheik Tiote's from the Everton match: http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/chalkboards/54M9E95wk2r00064A2f6 The difference in mobility, activity, and obviously the result is astounding.

its a mix of both, i wouldn't trust shearer to tell me about a player from the french league but then i wouldn't be too keen on gaby marcotti highlighting tactical bits and playing insights like ex players can. I wouldn't expect a detailed breakdown of statistics and performances from Shearer but to act like he's an unknown commodity takes the piss. Just a little scouting. Use that massive BBC video library to give a little watch to a few of his previous performances and then talk about him on the air. The BBC has hundreds of interns that can edit all sorts of tape together to make it easy on him if he wants to do it. But he doesn't. It's a lack of professional pride and it's like taking money when he gets paid.

The problem, and this is being echoed online by many professional pundits/commentators, is that regardless of whether or not the general public knows about a player, a pundit is paid to know. If you don't know, don't go on the air and say that. Go on the air after doing your research and educate people about what you learned. That is the point of your job as a pundit. Especially if the public is supporting your poor efforts financially.

True enough, but in addition to that, he's played significantly for teams in the Champions League and Ligue 1. Lyon and Marseille are reasonably well-known, I'd have thought.
