[Kimbo]

[Dave]

To be fair that was very balanced compared to the Sky coverage.

[Decky]

Those predictions for the next ten games. Utter shite.

What a goal that was from Suarez. Beautiful. Is that pronunciation of Cabaye correct, like it has acute on the e?

Suarez's goal was better than Cabaye's?  Fuck off man.

[Sifu]

Oh what a surprise, Colin Murray is in love with Suarez's goal.

[Ronaldo]

Suarez's goal was better than Cabaye's?  f*** off man.

 

It was, to be fair.

To be fair that was very balanced compared to the Sky coverage.

should've tried radio 5. despite the commentators repeatedly saying through out the first half that for all liverpool just about had the better of the play they were creating nothing, the studio anchor after the half time sports headlines came out with "and at anfield it's liverpool 0 newcastle 1" in that rtesults voice used when a non league are winning away at a prem club "but liverpool are dominated and have had many,many chances".

 

on to the game itself having quickly whizzed trhrough it on returning home from work, i have no problem with the sending off, looked very much a sending off from the closest angle to the ref but on the replays there is one particular angle which shows why we should appeal (the type of appeal that works for certain other clubs but never does for certain other clubs) in that if colo had meant it he couldn't have missed but in fact pulls out and just barges him instead, also sterling kicked out not once but twice at simpson, had simpson hit the deck it would've been red but it shouldn't need that.

 

we actually had some nice little bits of play but too infrequently, we have to get ben arfa into the game more and i still think we get much more from him on the left.

depends how you like your goals, team goal with skill and technique or solo goal with skill and technique. i'm a team goal man myself but i can understand others seeing it the other way. having listened to the game on the radio and only seeing the goals much later i was expecting theres to be much better than it actually was, whereas as ours was much better than was made out.

[Ashley17]

MOTD made Coloccini look like a right cunt. Didn't notice it during the game but not his finest game for us..

The touch was unbelievable, Bergkamp est.

Wow one error.

 

That better for you?

D. Bergkamp Esquire

[NEEJ]

Bergkamp-esque?

Give over man. It was a long ball he brought out the sky very well. No different to what Ba's done several times over the past two seasons.

[Hanshithispantz]

Cabaye's must have been fucking Van Basten-esque then

[Gallowgate Toon]

Decent result, thought with a bit of tweaking we could have won. Perch looked positionally clueless before he had to go off, Anita came in and did his job excellently. He guarded the space ahead of the defence, nicked the ball a few times and kept a cool head when in possession, Makelele-esque.

 

I thought we were in control after that opening 10, we managed to pass it about a bit which will no doubt be forgotten because we played negatively in the second. I can see Pards' thinking, it's a very English manager thing to do, 'keep it tight for the next 10' but we end up naturally going too deep and running ourselves into the ground, we're always shagged by 75 minutes. I thought Ba and Cisse were fine, HBA was a little hit and miss but again he created our goal with excellent skill, he might not be playing his best at the minute but he's ALWAYS a threat. It was a little concerning to see him so deep at times however, whenever we lost the ball in the second he moved within 10 yards of Simpson, he did look very leggy in that second half.

 

Cabaye has been much better of late, he looks way more comfortable in that 3 man midfield and supports attackers much better as a result, we lost a bit of bite when he went off (I thought Fergie was a poor choice to come on). Quick word on our Argentinians, I thought Colo did a lot of things right today but they were overshadowed by the negatives, the sending off was unfortunate in my opinion. Jonas was poor, his pass to Cisse was woeful, such a lazy attempt.

 

Overall, not too bad as they're not a bad side by any stretch. We're getting there, hopefully we stick with the same formation for the next league game, some of our players look so much more comfortable for it.

[Conjo]

Pretty good for two teams in 10th and 12th to field players equivalent to Bergkamp, Van Basten & Makelele

[Stottie]

I've not read through the full thread but did anyone else notice Sterling kicking at at Simpson in the second half?

 

It was one of those nothing tackles, he went down to ground very easily to gain the freekick but then kicked out at Simpson afterwards.

 

I bet absolutely nothing comes of it.

 

If it had been Tiote....

 

I didn't see Sky's coverage, but in the HT analysis I saw, there were ridiculous comments about Colo giving away a definite penalty for some minor contact AFTER HE HAD CLEARED THE BALL. Is that bias or just braindead punditry?

 

Joe Allen gave the ball away in Danny-Simpson-on-a-bad-day style at least three times. After ten games, he has no assists and no goals. Even the pricey Mackem managed some last year.

[Dan Gleebals]

Happy with a point all things considered.

 

Negatives:

- Started way to slowly again

- As soon as we scored, we tried to defend the lead - when will we learn?  Getting very frustrated with these tactics.  We should have come out flying in the second half, reality we sat back

- Jonas, he offers very little in his new role.  Sad really, but he is costing us with his lack of creativity and frustrating habit of keeping the ball until he gives it back to them

- Colo - he was taken to the cleaners today by Suarez.  You cannot really argue about that, frustration clearly got the better of him today.  Caught him or not, he was clearly in the wrong.

- Sterling, just because he is a young lad, this does not give him special rights FFS.  He should have been off the field as well by the end of the game.

- HBA - looked shagged, hopefully a one off poor performance although did very well to set the goal up.

 

Positives;

- Saylor - thought he had a terffic game.  He is going to have to step up now as he should get the armband IMO.

- Anita, did well when moved into the middle.  Deserves to stay in the team on that performance

 

[Benwell Lad]

Very good point which most of us would have taken prior to kick off. I thought the goal we conceded was horrible, the way we surrendered possession in the middle was amateurish.

I'd actually swap the point gained for no red card or injuries because I think the impact on the next three games could be more than one points worth.
