Tiresias

They must feel like shop keepers who have just noticed the town they trade in has had a bypass built around it. Spot on.

Agree we totally lack width atm. Have faith that Jonas has good performances in him, but Sammy isn't ready and Obertan is shit. Totally beyond me how Ben Arfa isn't considered for the right. Need new wingers

Our wide players are poor so... Krul Simson Willia Colo Santon Cabaye Tiote Vuckic HBA Best Ba

Not ready to start big games, shame.

Thought he did alright, apart from conceding that free kick

Gah. Frustrating, and we used to soak up pressure so well. We also looked pretty decent at 1-1 second half, and even after going a goal down. It's all rather fallen apart a bit. Pardew needs to have a rethink about some parts of the squad.

Ok I've turned off.

credit to skrtl there

aack awful Simpson, thought he'd had a decent enough game till now, a shame

Yay HBA Thought Vuckic was alright actually just couldn't really get into game at all first half as we were pushed so far back

Bleh don't really want to see more of that tbh

We're playing quite well now, not sure if we're better or Dagliesh gives worst half time talks ever

Little carried away there Cabaye

Phew Cabaye...Spearing is a prick.

I think we need to slow the game down, playing at pace is suiting Liverpool fine, we lose the ball and they just pass it out wide as soon as possible and race at our fullbacks. Simpson is doing alright but Obertan keeps giving away the ball. If we can keep the ball, we can get our players forward a bit and work the ball into their half and frustrate them. We just seem to panic and give away possession so easily.

Ended a little better. Santon on for Ryan Taylor ASAP and HBA on for Vuckic, whom is maybe a little out of his depth but isn't really in the position to do much. Jonas having a shocker, Obertan usual crap, but I think Cabaye and Tiote are doing alright, we're beeing ripped to shreds down flanks though. Dreadful stuff, why are we playing such poor footy? Just slow it down, take some measured passes and keep the ball on the floor. It's just PANIC PANIC PANIC atm

Is Tiote currently playing left back?

Jonas is poor but if can't really blame vuckic for not doing anything, we're not playing any connecting play at all. Come on, slow it down, keep the damn ball

We're just letting them charge down the flanks at will, rubbish. Keep the ball!

We're not good are we, another game where we play hit and hope footy far too much.

Knew he would

GET IN!

Vuckic more deep, hence why him not Ben Arfa, hoping for counter

Commentator lumping us in with blackburn for teams 'pool expected to thump...

Interesting! nice to see Pardew mixing it up, surprised to see Vuckic ahead of Ben Arfa, but him ahead of Tiote and Cabaye is better than their midfield.
