[Archived] Liverpool 1 - 1 Rovers

[The Harwood Yankee]

Dunno why Gillette Soccer Saturday always have Pinnochio Phil Thompson commentating on Liverpool games. You could see how devastated he was reporting McCarthy's goal! Makes the Preston Hairdresser look almost impartial.

[RoyRover]

McCarthy is really banging them in at the moment. Lets hold on for the next 70 minutes!

[Dr Gonzo]

Is Hell's Bells giving us many problems, I hear we've been booooing him

[Mr. E]

We've done good in this first half, but a few notes:

We're still maing mistakes in defence, and are giving Pool too much room on the wings. We're having severe difficulties with Pennant especially, and are giving them too many shooting chances. We really must mark the players tighter and chop the play down a bit.

Upront though we're showing some very good touches and Pool themselves are giving us a lot of room. We're still playing the long ball a bit too much for my taste though, we should try and ground it a bit more and get our strikers more involved. McCarthy and Nonda look real good.

Credit to Zurab for stopping an 100% goal, though we've had 2 disallowed. I dunno, this 2nd half can go either way....

Bellamy has barely done us any harm. Really, Liverpool have had a few chances but have done nothing with them. They have had two serious attempts which forced Friedel into a diving save and Khizanishvili clearing off the goal line, but everything else has been easy enough to handle.

We have been strutting our stuff on the counter, which is why Liverpool have been dominating.

Noteable performers are Friedel, Emerton, Bentley, and the one and only McCarthy, and a couple of others could definitely be included. Most play has been channeled through Bentley on the right.

Comical defending by Liverpool for our goal, though I do say McCarthy makes all his goals look easy. Everyone seems to be playing well, but I too would feel better if Neill got closer to Pennant.

[ElTwis]

whats the reception been like for Bellamy?

[Rover4ever]

Guess who scores for Pool, that too with a header

[Dr Gonzo]

Bummer he's scored

[The Harwood Yankee]

Bellamy equaliser. How predictable was that!

[stuwilky]

I hear we've been booooing him

Will those @#/?'s never ever learn?

[tony gale's mic]

why the hell was he in yards of space to head that one home? jesus...

[brfcjon]

was just cursing the ref... and then bellers scores!!!

[Exiled in Toronto]

Not good enough from Brad to let a corner drift along the edge of the 6 yard box. No man on the back post. Poor goal.

[modes98]

We have gone from being in total charge to not being even able to put 2 or 3 passes together.

A sub needs to be made to break up play.

Bentley is playing amazing well

They are piling on the pressure now, the crowd is really behind them, we will be lucky to keep it at 1-1 now, sadly

WILL THEY F**K!!.......MORONS

[Dr Gonzo]

Moko on for Tuggs and Gallagher on for MGP

[jim mk2]

Bentley hit the post ?

[tony gale's mic]

arrrrghh! bentley maybe shouldve stolen the points there...

[youandwhosearmy]

arrrrghh! bentley maybe shouldve stolen the points there...

he went through but the keeper was already in a good position to save it

[tony gale's mic]

he went through but the keeper was already in a good position to save it

yeah wasn't an easy chance, but had he tried to lift the ball over the keeper he mightve had better luck. still not a bad miss.

savage was very lucky not to be sent off just then...overall though our performance today has been encouraging except for the period around their goal.

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Great point.....well done lads!!

[jim mk2]

Good result, well played Rovers.

Bellamy... immutable law of the ex.
